leading men in these lines and pr
fessions have been collaborating vii
the war department in an endeav'
to formulate, by legislative or admi
istrative action, an acceptable al
useful plan with respect thereto.
In this connection, and because
the patriotic spirit thus displayed,
seems desirable to say that If tho

men of the country cannot by reasC
of age or situation in life give the
personal service, they can do tn
which will be equally useful by e
, couraglng in every way the particiE

Non-Advertising Merchants.


smaller towns and cities through
out the country are the ones who
complain most bitterly of the COM
petition of mail order houses,
many Of these very men refuse
to adopt the means which made
competitors prosper advertis-
ing. In a recent issue of the
Chatham IN. ~ Courier, the
editor makes some very interest
ing and pertinent remarks re-
garding the non-advertising
merchant:
The country merchant de-
plores the fact that the mail or
der houses are making inroads on
his patronage. How did they do
it? Did they send representa-
tives into the rural communities
to solicit trade? Did they simply
open their places of business and
wait for customers! They did
not. They obtained all-not a
part but ALL.of their patronage
by the use Of printers ink.
They advertised. The average
local merchant does not seem to
realize, even with this gigantic
object lesson before him, that
the means employed by these con-
Germs are also at his disposal.
Through the medium of the
printed word they tell the public
what they have to sell.
Experience has shown that
quality for quality the local
merchants prices are no higher
than those Of the mail order
house and they save the purchas-
er transportation charges. The
difference is that the mail order
house tells the public what it has
to sell and the non-advertising
merchant does not.
The latter frequently advanc-
es the argument against adver-
tising that everyone knows where
) his store is and what he has to
sell. He is wong. Everyone
! does not know what he has to
sell. If he doubts this let him
compare his present stock with
that of five years, three years or
I. even one year ago and note the
, many new things he has on his
? floors or shelves, new things that
: are the product OF inventive gen.
!, ius or of changing fashions. He
!. keeps abreast of the market
e changes but all his customers do
not, hence they do not know
d what he has to sell.
And there are object lessons
nearer home, i. e., the large and
prosperous city department
. stores. They realize the power
of advertising and make libela
e use of it.
o. "These city concerns are, TAX
c; ing advantage of the inactivit!
~ of the local merchant along ad
