WHY MERCHANTS LOSE TRADE.

You no doubt wonder, Mr.. Merchant,
why you do not sell more goods. But
you shouldn't, for it is no secret.
If you are not selling the goods you
think you should it is not wholly be-
cause the people are not buying. 1t
is because some other fellow is getting
the trade you ought to have, and that
other fellow is most likely the big mail
order house.
For positive proof Of this assertion,
just watch the parcels post mail that
comes to this post office, and watch
the car loads Of goods that come in by
freight or express-all from the big mail
order houses.
The fact that the people Of this COM
munity are your friends is no reason
why they will trade with you unless
they are convinced that you can do as
well by them as the mail order man or
the large city merchant does.
The people-even your friends-will
spend their money where they can get
the most for it, and you can not keep
them from doing so. You probably are
doing the same thing yourself.
Mail order houses and large city
merchants advertise extensively the
year around, and in this way they gain
the. confidence of the people. And the
buyer invariably travels the road in
which he has most confidence.
He has been led by the mail order
man and the city merchant to believe
that they can do better by him than
yoa. can do, and once he gets that idea
into his head you lose.
A well written advertisement will
eventually draw the people to the ad-
vertiser. The advertising, however,
should be done Systematically, and the
copy. should be attractively prepared
and frequently changed.
When people spend their own money
unquestionably have right to buy
when and where they please. It would
therefore seem the part of wisdom for
the local dealer to convince the buyer
that home is the best place to trade and
this can only be accomplished by ap-
pealing to their reason through intelli-
gent and persistent advertising in their
home paper.
We will cheerfully furnish the copy
if you will tell us what line you want
advertised.

LOST OUT.

I've spent lot live, guess;
I've had my little fling,
Yet, though I've led merry rout,
In one thing 1 have quite missed out
It is of this 1 sing.
And oftentimes at cabarets
At others loagingly I gaze
1 never danced the turkey trot,
I never learned the turkey tret.
All, how envy those trotteurs-
Theirs is happy lot;
The chairs and tables cleared away,
They gather in brave array
To do the turkey trot;
While I, with many vain regret,
Have overlooked this single bet
I cannot dance the turkey trot--
I never danced the turkey trot.
The bunny hug fain would try,
Or yet the chicken reel,
And other steps and figures, too,
Based on the barnyard or the zoo,
With primitive appeal;
But I must be wall flower still,
Because l fear l never will .
Learn how te dance the turkey trot-
All, me! To dance the turkey trot!
