HIGH COST Of Distribution

What becomes OF the retailer il
schemes for cooperative buying and
storage and public markets shall be
worked out successfully?
There need be no fear for the
retailer, provided he is progressive
and adapts his business TO the pri-
ces the consumer is able to pay.
For one thing, the average retailer
is far too apt TO buy his goods Of
the wholesaler simply because it is
the easiest way
Perhaps it takes him but five
minutes to give his order to the
agent of the wholesaler. Perhaps
also by a little investigation among
the farmers and farm bureaus, he
could find some one who would agree
TO let him have small quantities Of
food producrs every week at a price
a little ahead Of that which the
farmer gets from the jobber, and
which would permit him to sell to
the retailer for a moderate price.
Retail business should be done in
bigger units. The little grocer, who
never gets business enough to buy
in any quantity, is not an economi-
cal distributor If he can advertise
reasonably, he should be able to dou-

AN ADVERTISING cLINcHER

In talking recently with man who
has made a big success as an ad-
vertising salesman, toe question
was asked him, What has been the
most effective argument you have
used to induce merchants to adver-
hse?'
7 ask them" the salesman re
piled, '"what proportion of the pop
uIation 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
proportion of the population has
come into the store. a few may say
they have had 10 per cent of the PEG
pie. Many would admit that notover
per cent of the people had been
in their store during that period.
In many cases the proportion would
be away below 1 per cent.
Then I say, How are all 1.-The rest
Of the people going to have any
idea about the merits of the stock
you carry? They may go buy your
place OF business twice a day. But
they know nothing about what you

bic his sales, which would permit
him to buy in larger quantities. to
reduce his overhead charges PEI
unit of sale, and TO sell at lower
price.
Distribution Of food poducts is
"a big subject. Its various aspects
have only been limited at in the i
mited space available for this ser
les of editorials. The ideas that
stand out most dearly are these:
L The American people are pay
ing a needlessly high cost for food
by letting these supplies pass through
too many hands.
2. The farmer could make more
money for himself by providing such
storage facilities, usually by cooper
ative arrangements, as would enable
him to sell to retailers and. single.cus
toners in small lots as needed.
3. The retailers should take more
pains to protect the interest of
his customers, and investigate all
possible chances of buying goods di-
rect from the producers. Then he
should advertise freely to enlarge
his business and reduce the relative
cost OF overhead charges.

are doing. You viii never get their
trade unless you seek afterther. bus
mess and tell them what you have
got.
To do that, the salesman con
tinued, 4 tell them there are just
three things that can be done. They
can send 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
sonaI solicitation. It is more effec-
i've, because it gets attention where
a solicitor would be turned away.
And a newspaper advertisement is
read where a handful goes to the
waste basket. If you don't care to
adopt one of these methods, l tell
them, the great mass of the people
will continue to pass you by without
knowing about your goods or ever
giving you any business.

Faithful EFFORT
PROMOTES PER.
MANERT VALUES
values

Written Especially for the Reporter
by an Eastern Divine.
Worth works wonders values
are created through effort.
Better things will come when the
minds of men everywhere are suf-
fused with the understanding Of their
true ancestry: NOW are we the
Sons of God" That being true, to
create, for the benefit of others
is the greatest pleasure; to premit
others to created for us, with no re
turn of effort on our part, is.a grave
injustice.
I'VE are not responsible for what
we accomplish, but we are RESPONSE
BILE for how faithfully we try"
Enjoyment centers around CON
sciontious effort, persistent work, and
effort.
BE We doors of the word and
constructive thought for improvement
Lot hearers onIy!"
Be producers, not mere consum-
ers! Be shaTers in labor for better
memt, not mere participants in val
des already created.
Church services will be more en-
joyable to those who are really in
terested in quickening the religious
spirit Of the community.
To get the best out of church
services we must have been con
scientiously putting something into
them-contributing to the spirit Of
thanksgiving and praise to that we
may pass it along.
Every service has a place in your
growth; the blessing is cumulative
it increases with repetition.
We get values for ourselves by
helping contribute values.
In every church of this community
there is work for everyone in the
community; a place for the express
| sion OF a worshipful thought, for
the exercise of a worshipful spirit.
What we add to the value of the
services depends on what we are
within ourselves; what we bring with
NO. - hat service.
A mere response as a duty is not
going to yield a genuine pleasure
but if we so tc church because we
enjoy it., certainly our enjoyment
will be heightened if we stimulate
others to go.
A pleasure shared is a pleasure
doubled; a welcome hand, a cordial
invitation, an uplifting thought, shows
he souls state of health.
If we who regularly go to church,
VIII but stimulate others to go, the
J health, the morals, the spiritual con
tent of the community will increase
Dy leaps and bounds.
If those who have ideas which
will make the service better, add
ing to the quickening of the spirit,
will just add themselves to the
service, the value viii be greatly
| enhanced.
No service should find us lacking
in our receptive attitude; no mes
sage should fall on unwilling ears,
and no service deserves absent
! treatment.
Again Opportunity calls. Can you
answer Here am I?''
Enter into His gates with thanks
giving, and into His courts with
praise; be thankful unto Him and
bless His name"
