VIZ want to frankly tell, the
local merchant that if he wants
to compete with the city con,
Germ under the parcel post law
he must advertise vigorously,
says the Eldora (Iowa) Ledger.
When the editor of this paper
was in New York q few weeks
ago he saw much of the inner
working of a great mail order
house conducted by a relative.
Not a dollars worth of goods
did it cell in New York city.
Its six hundred clerks were
kept busy filing the orders of
q million and a half of custom
ers from Maine to California.
It has 80, 600 customers in Tex
as, 10000 in Iowa. HI O W
many have you in Eldora?'' the
editor loosely asked the head
of the house. The head of the
house touched a bell. Bring
me the Eldora. Iowa, list" he
said to the clerk who respond
ed" In two minutes a tray
was brought in with $50 cards
in it, each containing the name
of a person who had bought
goods of the firm within the
past year. Each card told by
it's color whether the purchase
had been made within a month,
six months or three months.
Those customers were secured,
% were the rest of the million
and a half. by advertising.
In a wired compartment six
girls were opening mail and
two men were operating add
ing machines and checking
cash orders. In another place
q row of girls sat beside
weighing machines of the lat
est patterns weighing the pack
ages going out and putting on
the necessary stamps. This
firm issues four catalogs a year
and sends out millions of them.
Two of these catalogues, Spring
and Fall-they call their large
one. They pay $27O, 900 for the
printing alone, remember. The
two smaller ones-Summera and
Winter-cost $50, 600 each. The
expense for magazine advertis.
ing is $3.50. 900 a year. With
out this million dollars spent
annually for advertising they
would be unable to do business
for one day. With it, the firm
is clearing probably half a mil.
lion dollars a year, perhaps
more.

houses are doing on a grea'

ALTMAN QUITS;
BACK TO SEA

Captain Rodger Altman, former Pa
cific Mail skipper, and for the past
few months marine superintendent
for the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company at this port, has rendered
his resignation to President and Gem
eral Manager J. A. Kennedy, the same
TO take effect at once.
Captain Altman, while remaining
somewhat non-commiTal as to his
future movements, intimates that he
has been offered the command of a
large new nine thousand tons liner
that will enter trade in the Pacific
with the beginning of April.
1t is understood that the genial Pa
cific Mail navigator, who achieved
the reputation Of being the only true
blue bard of the Pacific, and writer
Of original verse, will take over the
navigation OF one of the new steam
ers to be placed in service by Bates
& Chesboro.
Captain Altman came down here at
a time when affairs between the mas
tiers and mates and the management
of the Inter-lsland were at an acute
stage. He assumed the duties for.
merly performed by Captain Haglund
Altman is rated as a good mixer
and navigator of ability. He is said
to have become general favorite
with the men under his Jurisdiction,
and much regret is expressed that he
has decided to leave the islands and
a life ashore to again enter the lists
as deep sea skipper.
The vacancy caused through the re-
tirement of Captain Altman has not
yet been filled. Inquiry made at the
general offices Of the company this
morning elected the information that
10 appointment would be made for
some days at least.
One or two well known maritime
men who have been making regular
trips between the coast and Honolulu
on trans-P Pacific liners have been men,
toned as possible successor to the
position of marine superintendent.
