URGES GOOD HIGHWAY

Governors Proposed Good

FOR STATE SYSTEM
His Administration Will Fail
If He Doesn't Build
1t, He Says.

Boone COuntyS dream tnat tne otnei
counties on the route OF the cross
state highway would follow her lead
and build the hard-surfaced highway
seems probable of realization undeI
the pressure of Governor-elect Fred
erick d. Gardner who last week out
lined his highway program at the
meeting in st. Louis to discuss the
state revenue.
Governor-elect made the following
statement at the conference. There
is one thing / am going to see &C.
complished not started before leave
the governorship. l want to see the
state system of highways connect
ing every section of the state under
way before my four years are up. ]
am going to keep after it until it is
done. The state highway system will
be under way or my administration
will be a failure, and l don't propose
it shall be-"
Plans to start on permanent road
system will be presented to the Mis-
souri, Legislature as soon as they are
developed by the governor-elect The
plans developed out of the conference
called in st. Louis last week to dis
cuss state revenue.
Suggestions to raise the license fee
on motor cars was met with disfa-
vor. Governor-elect Gardner declar-
ed that that source of revenue should
not be touched for the general rev.
enue fund. The money derived from
the motor car license will be used
for building roads.
The money for the state road sys-
TEN is now in sight. The federal gov
ernment is making large appropria-
tions to permanent road building in
the state. The money is to be spent
through the state highway depart
ment. Contributions will also come
from the road districts along the state
highway routes.
The state highway department will
reorganize before the federal money
is obtained. A complete revision of
the road laws are being drafted. A
conference of good road organizations
and members of the legislature will be
held shortly, and the plans will be
made public.

Keeping Trade at Home

From System Magazine
An ever-present problem with many mer-
chants is mail order competition. The meth
DDS used by the Elder Mercantile Company
of Ottawa, Kansas to keep trade at home, are
interesting, and probably similar tactics could
be used to advantage by many other mer-
chants.
On some of its literature this company
uses the following paragraph which clearly
illustrates its attitude:
"We do not ask your business simply
because aCe happen to pay taxes here,
help support the schools, churches,
and so on, but because 4Oe can and
qciH SAGE you money"
T. p. Elder Jr., in letter to System, por-
tions of which follow, tells how the policy has
been carried out:
I'VE have made q rule in all of advertising to
impress the minds of mail order
that they need not be ashamed they mail order
houses 1t is persons right buy merchandise
where he wants towe do and every one else
We point out however. that believe every buys
from mail order house does thinks he
save money 1t is our problem to convince him that he
can ouy the same merchandise of us at the price
and in many instances lower prce-than of catalogue
houses
ITO do this in the most effective manner we find
that regular catalogue is hepfu-a catalogue which
make up along the lines big catalogue
houses Naturally catalogue smaller than theirs In
we illustrate the lines that demand and we
are careful to have prices compare favoraby with
offered by our out-of-town competitors
In our advertising besides making it plain that we are
after trade on business basis instead of solely on the
worn-out help-your-home merchant idea we agree:
D To sell the same better goods than auy cat
aosue house. with the service quality and price that
catalogue house offers;
To pay half the freight charges on any order which
we send to any town within twenty-five miles.
sometimes we have made the offer to accept or
oers rom any catalogue and still pay the freight
Deiofe such propositions find are great trade smu-
A'ols ana we even make little money shipment
now we are getting ready series of personal let
es tnat Will make an appeal a range of buyers
wiz hammer home the they can buy as cheap
from us a. from a mail order house
We nnd that getting the catalogue buyer into our store
compare prices Is our hardest problem We firmly
eve tnat ridiculng catalogue buyer only makes
.oie determined than ever to trade where he
psses Our plan has been highly successful for u.s. and
se convinced that the only way meet catalogue
mouse competition 10 to catalogue house methods"
