EAT WE MUST.

The conversation occurred In an
Ashland store. Two ladies we're shop
ping. One suggested to the other,
who was a grocery mans wife, that
she should buy two years supply
OF a staple dry goods necessity which
was marked down to an extraordi-
narily low price. The groceryman's
wife replied, u can not afford II. !
already have supply for this year
and can not afford to buy that far
ahead It is going to be a hard win
ter" The other replied, "A hard
winter can not affect you grocery
people. Folks have got to eat"
THAT is just IT," came the reply.
People have to eat"
This is altogether too true. Peo-
pie must eat No matter how little
money there is In the bank or how
small the salary. No matter II the
man OF the house Is out OF work or
sick. People must eat. And here
lies the reason for the economy of the
groceryman's wife. When the wolf
is at the door and the money sack
is empty, the groceryman gives credit
30 that the family may eat. Some
times II Is months until payment is
received. In some cases the account
Is a dead loss. How often Is credit
refused? The total amount on the
average groceryman's books in the
spring before work opens up would
astound the average person who
thinks a groceryman has constant
steady income. Yet the wholesale
houses must have their money. They
extend no credit. Who is the real
Christian, the real philanthropist?
The person who goes around at
Christmas with the turkey for the
poor man, or the groceryman who
actually keeps the poor man with his
capital through the winter? No
wonder the groceryman looks for
ward to hard winter with forebod-
ing.
And the groceryman's reward
comes in the fat seasons OF the year
when everyone has money. The man
whom he has aided pays his bill, per-
haps. But he pays the face amount
and no interest. Then he turns from
his unrecognized benefactor with a
Snug sense Of having actually done
him favor by paying up. He turns
from the man who tided him over
the winter and sends his cash to the
big city or to the cash store In the
next town where circumstances per-
nit OF a slight reduction In occasion
al articles or, even worse, he sends
his money to the eastern mail order
house, and as result the net busi-
ness OF the groceryman, regardless OF
cash or credit, IS ACTUALLY BIG
GER IN THE HARD-TIME SEASON
THAN WHEN MONEY IS PLENTI-
FUL.

Couzens visited Crater Lake last sum-

In talking recently with>a man who

tising salesman, the question was
asked him, What has been the most
effective argument you have used to
induce merchants to advertiser"
Il ask them" the salesman replied
what proportion of the population
in the territory they serve has come
into their store within the past three
months.
Very few Of them, in reply to this
question, claim that any large pro-
portion of the population has come
into the store. a few say they have
had 10 per cent of the people. Many
would admit not over per cent of
the people had been in their store
during that period. In many cases
the proportion would be away below
! per cent.
Then ! say, how are all the rest
Of the people going to have any idea
about the merits of the stock you
carry? They may 90 by your place
Of business twice day. But they
know nothing about what you are
doing. You will never get their
trade unless you seek after their bus
mess and tell them what you have
got.
ITO do that ! tell them there are
just three things that can be done.
They can send a salesman around
from door to door to tell them about
the goods. They can distribute hand
bills or circular letters. Or they can
advertise in the newspapers.
Newspaper advertising would not
cost a twentieth OF the cost of per-
sonal solicitation. 1t is more effect
i've, because it gets attention where
solicitor would be turned away.
And a newspaper advertisement is
read where a handbill goes to the
wastebasket. If you don't care to
adopt one of these methods, | tell
them the great mass of people will
continue to pass you by without
knowing about your goods or giving
you any business"

We have great big woodpile up
by our house and are beginning to
think that the hobo travel this year
is falling off. The other morning a
weary appearing gentleman started
in toward the back door, but beat a
precipitate retreat when he saw that
stack of cordwood. The funny part
of it is that the wood belongs to our
next door neighbor.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

We are forcibIy reminded that "the
melancholy days are come" by the
amount of golden leaves piled indis-
criminately about. If fathers pride
and mothers JOY will direct half the
energy he displays in a game OF

leaves and burning or otherwise de-
stroying them it will take about twen-
ty-four hours to make the lawns
about Ashland present a marked diff
ference in their appearance.
