ed in detail, and not price quoted
to interest prospective buyer.
have before me at this time a
paper with an advertisement of this
kind. 1t has to my certain know
ledge, been run with no change to
speak of for ten years. That kind
of advertising would wreck the
biggest department store of
Chicago. Compare it with the
order pulling advertisements in the
daily papers of the big cities, or the
interesting pages of the mail order
house catalogue.
Now Mr.. Country Town Mer-
chant, get this thought we'll fixed
in your mind. You cannot survive
against the city competition, unless
you adopt the city merchants
methods. You have been permit
ted to live up to the present time,
but your sun will set for the last
night shortly and when you awake,
it will be to find that you have
been wiped out and everything
gone, except your debts and your
creditors.
You can sell just as cheaply, and
in many cases you are selling a
better quality of goods for the
same price that the mail order
house gets for an inferior article,
but the people don't know it. You
can talk and shout yourself hoarse
in proclaiming that your quality is
the best and your prices the lowest.
That is not the proof. Buyers
want the evidence. They may not
agree with you as to the correct
ness of your claims. They want
to see the price. They want to
think it over and study it. The
picture in the advertisement may
look just like the machine you
have in stock and it may be quoted
at a lower price than you are ask
ing. That being true, do you
blame the buyer for taking a
chance and sending his order to
the city dealer who seems to
offer the best bargain for the
money? That dealer guarantees
satisfaction or return of the money.
Of course, it might be different il
you were right there on the spot
to tell all about the merit of the
goods that you have for sale. but
the trouble is, you are not there
and the catalogue with its catchy
advertisement is right on the jot
and is pulling for that order day
and night.
You have in your local weekly
paper a strong order getter-tha'
little page or half page 'ad" with
its story of cheap prices gets before
each member of the family every
week and works night and day fol-
you. Can you afford to neglect
the opportunity?

RAIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Increased Business Reported by
Northwestern Roads.

Northwestern Roads.
Conditions on the great railway
systems centering in the Twin Cities
are better this month than for the
past year and a half, and show a
marked improvement over any month
since the outbreak of the European
war. Figures and statements given
out by Twin City railway officials
give concrete evidence of the improve.
ment in general business conditions
for which both railways and business
houses have been hoping.
The Minnesota Transfer railway has
handled thus far IA per cent more
cars than in the same period last
year. These cars represent large
portion of the total merchandise bust
ness in the state and their movement
is considered by railway officials a
fair criterion of general conditions
The increase in loaded cars in Sep
tember was 8.3 per cent compared
with September, 1914.

get the business? is a frequent
question. The men who write the
copy for the mail order catalogues
are high priced specialists. They
begin with a cheap leader in each
department and gradually lead up
to the more expensive lines.
If there is a man or boy who has
a turn for mechanics, the countless
number of tools and machines
which are we'll illustrated and
described, will hold the attention
until he has scraped together the
price and sent in his order.
The same thing is true of every
part of the household. There are
bargains to attract the young and
old of the family. The catalogue
which is the silent salesman is
right there, with its pulling
strength, twenty-four hours in the
day and it is constant reminder
of some real or fancied want.
That is its real strength. Every
word in it is an argument, creating
an atmosphere of bargain which
must be snapped up quick. That
is the kind of advertising which
gets results. No wasted words
about the age of the company or its
great resources. No space or time
given to roasts of competitors.
Just plain talk, and the price with
the picture.
I served an apprenticeship in a
mail order house, and 1 know all of
the tricks of the trade in making
leaders at cut prices to serve as
pullers, but I simply cannot resist
the temptation to send an occa-
sional order to one of these houses,
although my workshop is already
overcrowded with more tools and
machines than myself and sons can
possibly find use for.
Now, then, compare this sort of
order soliciting with that which
our local merchant attempts. l

so-called progressive merchants of

years or so, the startling informa-
tion that right now is the time to

The story first came out through a
friend of Manahan's.
"Jim Manahan will be in the Re-

Mr.. Manahan was seen in his office

ROAD EXPENDITURES LARGE
Total for Minnesota Will Run Over
$3,oo0,ooo This Year.

Expenditures in this state during
the year 1915 on work for better
roads will run far over $3,000,000,
thousands of dollars above the record
in 1914, according to G. w. Cooley,
secretary of the state highway COM
mission. Every county in the state
has participated to some extent in
this movement for a betterment of
highway conditions.
State road aid distributed so far
this year amounts to $3.50, 900, on both
state and county roads, for construc-
ton and maintenance. Before the
end of the year this will have reach
ed $1,500,000. The remainder of the
$3,OO0,000 total is being expended by
counties and villages.

TASTE DEFEAT
IN POOR GAME

During First Period
Boys Miss Easy Shots at
Basket.

The high school basketball five
atoned for the defeat earlier in the
season at the hands of Connersville
last night. taking the game by the
score of 16 to II.
The game was poor exhibition,
who could not get together with their
usual effectiveness. This was true,
especially In the first half, when they
were able to make only four points.
One OF the largest crowds of the sea-
son was present to witness the down
fall Of the ancient enemy. The drum
corps and brass band made things
fairly hum with a racket that could
be heard all over the downtown dis
trict. Not content with their noise
making in the gym, the students, led
by the drummer paraded up and down
Main street after the game.
Team Misses Pinkerton.
Pinkerton. who played havoc with
the locals in the previous game, was
not with Connersville. having dropped
out Of school after the first term.
Brown made the first score after a
short scrimmage in front of the basket.
This started the noise. Connersville
outplayed Nohr's men the rest Of the
half. and with any kind of luck In
shooting baskets, could have put the
game on ice. Nohr started the game
with two subs in the lineup, Harris in
place Of Porter, and Bavis at Pitts
guard. Harris was not capable of
the job. however, and was hooked in
the middle Of the first half and Porter
sent in. Harris main weakness seems
to be his inability to mix things. Por-
ter added new life to the team, and
from the time of his injection into
the lineup things began going smooth
er. Laning made the second field goal
for Richmond just before the end OF
the half. Tressler was the star scorer
of the half with total of three points,
while Eastman made two. The half
ended. Connersville, s; Richmond, 4.
Pitts Enters Game.
In the second half Pitts was sent in
for Bavis. In this half Nohr's men
played rings around the visitors and
were in possession of the ball practi-
cally all the time. Although they had
numerous chances at the basket, their
shooting eyes were not true. Ainsley
starred at foul goal shooting, getting
five out Of seven. Tressler was the
only visitor to make a field goal in
this half. For Richmond, Brown got
the range Of the basket, making three
fields, while Laning and Pitts got one
each. Porter thrilled the crowd with
q basket from the center Of the floor.
