more than 100000 on a life insur-
ance policy on which he had paid but
one years premium Of $4,000, was
not entirely correct. Mr.. Griswo1d
says Mr.. Davis had a two-paym ent
life policy for 100000. taken out in
1912, on which he had paid premiums

A TRADING POINT


the merchants of Moscow that this is
a good trading point because people
{. know that they can see big and high
grade stocks of goods here, that they
can see wide varieties of goods, and
that at any time they can buy here
high class merchandise at what in
cial sale prices.
All this is true, but, to use time
worn expression, the merchants of
Moscow cannot "rest on their oars
or it will not long continue to be true
Moscow is the best trading point in the
Inland Empire outside Of Spokane,
and it rivals even that big city in many
lines of merchandise and leads it in
price making as many who have in
vestigated the matter can testify.
Many people, even among the mer-
chants here, do not understand how
this situation happened to come
about, and seem to have little idea
now III is TO D6 lldlllldllleu.
In the first place it might be point
ed out that nature or Providence did
not provide for making Moscow the
leading city of this territory, and does
not guarantee it the position it now
enjoys. Other towns in the Inland
Empire are better located, some are
bigger, and some are more progress
sive in certain ways. All are likely
to do whatever Moscow has already
done to build up it's trade, and to do
more.
AS matter of fact not as many peo
pie as should, do know of the trad
ing advantages of Moscow. Many who
trade here now would as readily go
elsewhere If they could. or thought
they could do as well there. By the
acts of merchants and statesmen them
selves and they are presumed to
know the arts of selling, and by infer
ence might be supposed to know the
art of buying, we are convinced that
people buy many things wholly on the
strength of the advertising they have
read, or from some whim, or because
of confidence in the dealer, or because
the neighbor has the same, or because
they have heard some derogatOry re-
mark (often having no bearing what
ever or untrue or deceptive, or of no
or because the price is |
low (no regard being given to quail
ity), or for any one of dozens of rea-
son
Moscow now has two advantages
over other towns that might easily be-
come dangerous rivals: 1t has good,
and big stocks of goods, and that fact
IS rather widely known.
Big, varied, and high class stocks of
can be maintained only
oy having a large volume of trade, so
hat all the advantages to buyer and
seller that come from having big
stocks, including low prices, are de-
pendent upon volume of trade. That
must be maintained and increased
Good advertisers recognize what
