SO. in your advertising, you have
your saving tire with which to fight
the consuming competition of retail
mail order houses.
The printed matter. of course, must
continue to be the main reliance for
urging people TO enter your store.
Show windows, however good. are
sure to be seen only by few of those
who might need 10 trade with you.
while personal invitations cannot be
given quickly enough to a sufficient
number to answer everyday purposes.
1t is through printed matter that the
retail mail order house offerings are
constantly made. and. If for no other
reason than to prove the determination
at least to match their efforts for
trade in your community, use the local
press and printed matter enough to let
no one whose trade should be yours

Originality Best Method.

The local merchant should dwell at
length on the fact that he delivers
after the goods have been seen and be-
fore the money has been paid for them.
and when it comes to making good
should anything go wrong. he is right
at hand. not thousand miles away.
a reputation for originality is con-
tinually being sought by most mer-
chants. and one can get il more easily
by being natural in every move. Ad-
vertising that sounds like you Is not
only sure to bring the greatest results.
but ii is also the one kind of advertis-
ing your competitor cannot successful
ly initiate.
II is true that some self styled ad-
vertising experts have studied the die
tionary. the grammar ana the type
specimen books until they are able to
talk a jargon that makes advertising
by which we mean printed matter
seem very much of mystery TO the
average man.

One of the ladies. who had evidently

you give him. he always returns the
change. and never keeps more than a
penny"
"Why. what a fool he must be- re-
marked the man "But I'll try him
and put him to little trouble"
So saying. the man pulled from his
pocket a sovereign. which he dropped
into the beggar's hat. The mendicant
turned the coin over two or three
times. examined it closely. and then.
raising his eyes to the countenance Of
the benevolent man. said:
well I'll not adhere to my usual
custom in this case. III keep it all for
luck. but don't do it again"
