TELL THE Statesmen

With the approach of the fall
season. the big jobbers and
manufacturers will begin to
send out their statesmen. Many
Of these statesmen are going to
call on you, Mr.. Retailer. Here
are a few suggestions by which
you might open the convers-
ation with them:
Ask them what they Wild TO
help you sell the goods they
want you to buy.
Ask them if their 6rm is 60
ing to advertise their goods in
the newspapers of your city.
1t .eSy reply No, ask them why
cot?
Tell them that it is necessary
Tor them TO create the demand
in your city, among your Gus
toners, for their line of goods;
otherwise you cannot push
their line in preference to those
manufacturers or jobbers who
do create this demand.
Tell them the best way to
create the demand is to adver-
tise in the local newspapers;
that your customers read the
newspapers published here; that
you yourself advertise in them;
and that you are not willing to
spend your money to make
their particular brands popular
in this town and later have
them take the line away from
you and give it to your com
petitor.
Tell them that you favor
goods which are advertised in
your local newspapers because
you find it more profitable tc
do so.
This is a mighty good hanc
to hold. 1t should be a stand
pat one.

the state is $3O5. O67. 1865. ID.
The increase all over the state

almost fabulous. and the tar
