STRAIGHT TALKS TO
RETAIL MERCHANTS

My A. LEWIS ,--
General Manager Economy Service Co.
? Vow is your business Comparing with
lat year, Are you thinking hard times
talking hard times? Is your trade really
falling ofr-or do you Just imagine so?
The writer has a reason for asking these
questions. A few days ago he had a call
from three merchants each located In u
question, How is business?" each an
swered, well. 1t could be better"
Pressed for further information, they ad-
mitted that they were not only doing as
much business as last year. but were
really doing more business and making
better profits. They were really aston
ished to be brought face to face with
the fact that they had almost led them
selves to believe that business was dull.
We are of the opinion that the Pres
ident was entirely right in his statement
of a few days ago that the so-called dull
period was really more the Imagination
of a lot of merchants.
There are entirely too many merchants
who are thinking of dull times. Get this
out of your system. The business is there
80 JNh ~ Stt - Spa Will 81 dlttT lts
If you continue to talk dull times you
very soon instll it's very atmosphere into
your store and you have your clerks and
customers imbued with the spirit that
people must not spend their money
Now, people are wearing clothes and
will continue to wear them, and If you
do not get the business. somebody else
will. Make your store attractive. Switch
things about Serve your customres cour-
teously and have the merchandise for
them. Have your whole store breathe
an air of optimism. and you will note a
distinct difference in the amount of bust
ness you get.
Shirtwaists are extremely popular at
this time and New York stores are
making heavy sales in their shirtwaist
departments. Arrange an attractive dis
play of waists In your windows and show
waists only for several days.
A notion ad would be timely. Summer
draperies can be brought forward in your
ads at this time--a little publicity ought
to bring good results.
I. During the heated period recently one
large department store had pitchers of
ice water distributed throughout their
building for the convenience of shoppers
who We're thirsty and wanted a cooling
drink. Why would 1t not be good plan
to have a pitcher of Ice water or LEM
onade placed in each department Of your
store during particularly warm days or
days you hold special events?
Now is the time to get your store in
summer attire. Distribute plants where
ever possible so as to give the store a
cooling appearance. Display In your show
windows white goods principaly-either
in fabrics or ready-made apparel.
Above all else. don't imagine for a mo-
ment that because people do not flock
head over heels into your store for some
particular item that your advertising is
not paying.

One particularly impressive and
to'shing event in connection with
Easter services in this city was the
farewell sermon of Rev. M. Chase at
Trinity church in the morning.
Thirty-three years ago this spring
Rev. Chase came TO Mineral Point from
Alton, ILL.,, to assume charge as rector
of the church. Ii is history now how
successfully he served throughout this
third Of century. Aud what will that
history reveal? Simply an illustrious
record. Every act Of the reverend
gentleman has been one of fathfulness
garnished with gentleness, nobleness,
loneliness and love for his fellowman.
Aside from these Christ-lite qualities
Of the man, he was fortified with those
scholarly attainulents that fitted him
for any service in his calling, and he
never shirked. TIe enjoyed his labors,
and not only the church but the COM
munity are gamers by his sojourn in
our midst, If bis examples and teach
inSs be needed.
During the past winter Rev. Chase
has becA in the south for his health,
which we are assured is somewhat bet
ter in consequence. And now, after
forty seven years in the ministry with
only three chauges), he retires for a
weli-earned rest.
| He has decided to locate in Winnetka,
| H., and he and Mrs. Chase arc busy
preparing their household effects for
Shipment.

this good, kind neighbor and friend

Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1914-04-11
FOR TAX COLLECTOR:
w. /. McCULLOCH.

The Eagle is the friend of every
man who is in office in Bryan and
Brazos County. We want every office
holder to know this and realize it in
his own mind as a fact We want
them also to realize that there is a
difference between the man personally
and the man officially. The man per-
sonally is a sovereign, the man Of
ficially is a servant. The mans pri-
yate record is his own and is sacred,
the mans official record is public and
is open to criticism by the public. The
Eagle has never violated the above
rules and never will. We have always
felt free to criticise official acts, but
have never done it except in a digni-
fed way. We shall continue the same
policy whenever we deem il necessary.
Let us be understood, however, there'll
be no spleen in any utterance of The
Eagle, and no word of criticism unless
we are convinced it will be for the
public good. The public welfare is
our actuating motive and not to injure
any living man.
