BUYING OF STRANGERS

There Is great advantage, when
you are making any kind of trade,
in buying of someone who knows
you and whom you know. The, high
stepping horse purchased of some
stranger usually develops fatai
tricks. Similarly there is a moral
hazard in buying goods at distant
stores, where you are not well ac-
quainted with the merchant and his
clerks.
When you make purchase al
some distant department store, OF
when you send away al order to
distant city by mail, the person who
handles the purchase is absolutely a
stranger. You are simply one item
in the days grist of work, to be
ground through the machine with
hundreds of others. You can't get
intelligent, thoughtful attention by
such machine-like methods.
In buying near home, on the other
hand, you know personally the people
with whom you do business, or al
least your face becomes familiar
enough so that they recognize you as
a regular customer. Both clerks
and proprietors welcome you to
their counters, and feel that you
must be pleased at all hazards Ev-
en- il they wanted to misrepresent
which is most unusual, they would
not dare do so. You are too close to
their base of supplies, and you could
do too much harm II unsatisfactory
foods were worked off.
There must be personal interest
between seller and buyer to make
purchases satisfactory. This person
al interest cannot be built up on oc-
casional transient buying of distant
shopping trips, where salespeople of
err the goods and in substance say,
You can take it or leave it,"
Where a personal relation grows
up between the customer and the
nearby stores, the salesman becomes
more than a mere seller. He con
ceives that the regular customer
must be regarded as a client who
must be given good business advice
about a purchase. Such help is oil
incalculable value to the public. You
an only get it near home.

BUSINESS sSIARTNEss

1t has often seemed that the Amer
lean ideal of business success is the
smart man." Perhaps the sentenc-
ing to Jail of 20 National Cash Reg
lister company officials marks the be-
ginning of an era when 'smartness
will not be so highly valued.
DO the other fellow and do his
first" has expressed the popular
David Harum philosophy
In some respects there has been
marked gain in business honor dur
ing the recent years. 1t has seemed
like a revival of the old time spirit
of fine craftsmanship.
The writer formerly knew Of a
manufacturer of boots and shoes,
who used to send his goods to differ
ent cities all over the country. Some
of his customers would send him a
fat check twice year, and tell him
10 make up the usual styles for what
he could afford. They were never
disappointed. W.
Few merchants would dare to
gamble on the good faith of manu-
lecturers today. Yet of recent years
Misrepresentation has largely proved
self-destructive. The man who fails
to deliver the real thing is soon a
memory in the Armageddon OF trade.
AS repects methods of competition,
the standards of modern business are
not so helpful. Much competition
has disappeared because business
men have found it is cheaper to soak
the public than each other. But,
ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain still prevail
Does 1t pay? What satisfaction is
there in smoothly purrlng automo-
biles, soft-hued rugs from the Orient,
or glittering jewels, if these goods
md chattels result merely from su-
Derior skill at the game of the fox
Or the wolf? What happiness can
there be in the castle by sea or noun
ain, If the unfair methods that made
I possible mean that your competitor
must eat his hardly earned crust in
the bitterness of the slum?
Even the toughest crowd on the
lleachers bowls down the man who

When finishing off a machine seam
turn the material and stitch back for
an inch. This does away with the ne
cessity of tieing the thread, which. If
forgotten. often causes trouble in the

If a small hook and eye are placed at
the ends of the rubber around the
knees of little boys bloomer suits the
rubber is easily removed when the
suits are washed, and the boomers
can then be ironed out fiat.
An article of great convenience in

spool rack. 1t is made by saving a
piece about two feet III length from a
bed Stat and driving wire nails along
both sides of 1t about an inch apart.

Children, This Part Is Yours
SOMETHING ABOUT AUDUBON.
He Wrote One of the Very First Books
on Birds.

Almost every city has clubs of chill
dren who form little bands to protect
birds. Sometimes these clubs are
named for John James Audubon. Au-
dubon gave nearly all of his life to
painting birds and to learning their
secrets. About seyenty-five years ago
Audubon wrote one of the very first
books about our f%eathered friends. As
he was an artist. he painted the crea-
lures from life whenever he could. but
sometimes he had to mount stuffed
birds. Then he would fasten their
heads and wings in natural positions
with threads so that he could paint
them TO look alive.
So much time was taken to study the
birds as well as to write the books and
draw the pictures and so much money
was required to print the volumes that
only wealthy people could afford to buy
Audubon's Birds" The author him
self lost $4,000 on his writings. To
day we think these books very queer.
because each of the four large books
of Audubon's Birds" is more than a
yard long and over two feet wide. 1t
takes two men TO carry one volume.
In all four books Audubon has writ
ten about more than 1000 birds. and
he has pictured more than 400. Do
you know why these books are so
large? All of the pictures are life size.
Eves the eagle with his broad wings
is pictured in his natural strength and
Hundreds of bird books have
been written since Audubon wrote his
books, yet a set of this bird lovers
works is worth $4,000.

Cook a small piece of charcoal with
cabbage or onions to lessen the odor in
