HOW ONE HOME MERCHANT PUT
OUTSIDE COMPETITION ION
THE RUM

This is no theory framed up in some
city guys Office. Here is something that
actually happened. That is, here is how
one merchant put his out-of-town com
petitor on the run. 81 s..fF
It happened in a country town in Ohio.
Two carloads Of goods-staple necessities
OF life--were standing on the side track.
They had been shipped in from Dayton
to fill a demand, supplied by an outside
salesman who had happened to be in
town with the proper bunco to "get away
with the orders, and that, too, at
prices shade higher, plus the freight,
than the local merchants quotations on
the same articles delivered at the custo-
mer's door. This struck me as rather
amazing and l thereupon investigated
the cause OF the unfortunate situation.
Dropping into the leading grocery store
OF the town, l inquired why they didn't
stop this intrusion into their trade. "How
are you going to stop it, growled the
:"boss." 'Advertisev' | retorted. cad
vertise?" replied the grocer, ''why, Pm
one of the best customers our local paper
has. think I've had something in every
week for nigh on twenty years, but l
don't see as realize any difference. My
name is known anywhere within trading
distance OF here anyhow" Then I lit
into him, ''Now, my friend, that is just it,
Your name is known we'll enough. But
how about your goods? You know there
is advertising and then there is oduey-
tisieg. One. kind spreads your name all
over everything until your goods are
hidden behind your name. There is no
use Of your paying the local paper for
telling the people what your name is.
What you want to do is to stimulate an
interest in your goods. Put out a
Leader every week. Make the price on
one particular commodity so attractive
that it will draw customers into your
store. Once in, they will see something
else they need, won't they?
Feature your Leader in the local
paper in a different setting. Be sure
now Make it different. You know,
the people never think OF looking for your
old Ad, and they couldn't find it if they
did. 1t is obscured by it's uniformity and
utterly buried in a crowded mass of other
matter of identical type and general ap-
pearance.. And then what's the use.
The people already know your name.
Therefore, just for a trial OF six weeks,
buy four times the space. Leave good
/ vacant margin around yourself just for
accentuation, that is, just to make 'em
see you. And above all ) things give
prominence to the article and the special
price. Make it appeal to the shoppers
frenzy forbargains and they will come with
rush. Never mind your name. They
won't miss your store. Here's why:
This same special leader will mono
palize your whole front window. They
can't get by without noticing that your
store looks different. 5
''Next week focus your forces on some
other special leader, and so on for six
weeks.
SEQ UEl@! He did Just as I told him.
Other live merchants did likewise.
CONSEQ UENCE! Not another car
load of foreign goods has been shipped
into that town since! ''Nuf said.'

OF what their attitude toward the Mexi-
cans has been all these years and it is
therefore not surprising at all that the
average American is hated and held in
the utmost contempt by all Mexicans.

CAPABLANCA IN RUSSIA

While a team OF the Manhattan Chess

the Ocean Hill men in the second round
of the matches under the auspices OF the
Metropolitan Chess League A. kupchik
and j. Rosenthal sat down in the library
of the Manhattan Chess Club In order to
play their game in the clubs champion
ship tournament. Up TO that time the
young player kupchik had won nine
straight games. and he was only In need
of adding another point 10 his total to
make sure Of winning the first prize and
the championship. The spectators who
had assembled to witness the team chess
match considered u championship game

Kupchik added another one half point by

thus he made sure OF the first prize in
the championship before he will be called
upon to meet Maguus Smith in the final
game. as none OF the other competitors
can reach Kupchiks total of 10ia points.

TWO CAUSES OF LOSS
AT ROYAL AUCTION
Bids Of Double Meaning and
Bids That May Lead Part
ner Astray.
EXAMPLES OF BOTH KINDS
Analyses of Hands Showing the
Results Of Wrong Dec
laratiOns.

II has long been an axiom in poker
that all the money is lost before the
draw. This might we'll he paraphrased
for auction by saying that all the money
is lost before the play. That is to say
It is lost In the bidding. and II may be lost
in two ways. by falling to arrive at the
best declaration for the combined hands
or by losing to the adversaries in penalties
The greatest vice in bidding at auction
is probably bid with a double meaning
and the next is a bid chat may lead the
partner astray and induce him to over
bid his hand or pick a declaration that
would not otherwise occur to him. There
are players who will not stop to consider
the meaning of the partners bid, and there
are players whose bids are very carefully
considered by the partner. In the first
case the source OF error is obvious; IN
the second II Is in the bid upon which
the careful consideration is based. IL there
is any error.
Here are few illustrations OF both
kinds. all of which go to show that tn,
first principle of bidding at auction still
holds true. This is that the bidding oi
the dealer and second hand must be purely
and strictly conventional according e
the cards held. that OF the third hant
being conventional response but that
the fourth hand does not bid on his
cards 30 much as upon the bidding which
has gone before.
" an average person were to see nothing
but the cards held by the fourth hanL
and 20 hear nothing but the bids IN
made he might very easily be- astonishet
at nine out Of ten OF these fourth hanc
declarations, while he would express M
surprise at any bids made BY the dealer.
As an illustration OF the diilcultie,
into which the fourth hand may be
plunged II his partner does not follow
strictly conventional lines take the fol-
, lowing hand:

There are no trtirnps and is in the

AS idea of the play Was To lead out his
ace and king of diamonds at once. max
ing three of those in VS. hand good for
tricks. He would then run off four heart
tricks. and after making them would
give the lead with his losing diamond
When Y had made his three tricks AS bet
was won.
\ figured that by the time Y had made
his three good diamonds he would be
down TO the Jack and nine In each black

Jack Y leads after he has made the dia

with the ace and throws 2 back into the
lead with the same suit. SO that he must
lose two tricks in the other suit
" leads tine nine instead Of the jack
Il will not cover with the queen. No
matter which card u plays 4 will take
the trick with the ace and return the suit
Now either BE- queen is good or must
win the trick with the king and lead
away from his other king
bat u defeats this intended solution by
d!scarding one OF his winning diamonds
on the heart, keeping three clubs in each
hand and two spades. 1t does not matter
what A and keep. AS A must lead the
diamond and put Y in. after has made
his two good diamonds he still has five
cards in hand.
For the beginning OF these last FIVE
tricks Y leads the jack OF clubs through

goes to rs ten. Now y leads the
