THE RETAIL DEALERS

The people of Grand Forks are
pleased to hav with them the mem
bers Of the North Dakota Retail Mer-
chants association who are now as
sembled here for their annual meet
ing. These men are more closely in
touch with the business Of the state
than any others. They are the peo-
pie who deal directly with the indi-
vidual farmer, laborer and consumer
generally. Their membership repre-
sents the entire state, for they are
scattered throughout the state, in
every city, village and hamlet. They
are the men who feel first the in
fuence of good or bad trade condi-
tons due to fluctuations in the buying
ability Of the people. In an agricul-
tural state UGH as ours weather and
crop conditions are reflected almost
Immediately in the sales and collec-
lions OF the retail merchant, and at
son for the visitors to be pleased
with the outlook. for never before
has there been such prospect Of good
crops with reasonably satisfactory
prices as is seen in this state today.
The retail merchant Of today has
travelled far from the customs of his
predecessor Of g generation ago. His
purchases are made in a field where
everything IS highly organized and
s~ystematized. And q greater degree
Of system has been brought into his
business. Credits are granted
with greater care, and long time &C
counts are not sc popular as they once
were. Changes in agricultural meth
DDS are in part responsible for this,
for the greater diversity Of products
has tended to promote quick settle
ments. and this has made possible the
handling of business with a smaller
margin Of initial profit. Changes in
general trade methods have affected
the retail merchant as well as all
others, and those who are unwilling or
unable to adjust themselves to these
changes suffer. But there is every
reason to believe thai the retail bust
ness of the northwest is on a sound
and satisfactory basis, and that the
men engaged In It, who are alive to
its needs, vii! grow and prosper with
the growth and prosperity ST the
state.

It would have been easier to pay

Sam had a worried little frown on
