Buys and Sells

The dictionary defines the word
merchant as one who buys and sells.
1t never occurs to thousands of mer-
chants in this country to analyZe
the business to understand the
goods they handle, or the best man
ner of getting results. They buy and
sell. Advertising is the answer to
most business successes The best
is done by the most sue
cessful merchants. But advertising
has such a close relation to the mer-
chandising business that success will
sort OF come to the man who studies
it with the idea that he must give
his customers something they will
like and something they want.
"A man asked me the other day
why certain big department store
seemed to have all the business in
city and | told him | would find
out So l went over to that store
and asked some questions. | went
into the clothing department and I
found big signs telling the people
that the store carried two lines of
clothing well known to everybody
because of the national campaigns of
advertising carried out by the manu-
facturers OF that clothing. | found
in nearly every department of that
store goods being carried that people
are taught to ask for and goods that
are reliable That was the secret |
discovered and ! went back and told
my friend why that store seemed to
have all the business in the city.
After all is said and done, advertis-
ing of the right sort. connected in
the proper manner and at the proper
proportions with judicious handling
of merchandise ought to bring high
measure of success, if other condi-
tions are reasonably satisfactory.
Visited Many Cities
During the last four years Dr. Par
lin has studied and lectured in one
hundred of the largest cities of the
United States, has done research
work as we'll in several leading Ca
madam cities, and has travelled over
$50, 900 miles in the pursuit of infor-
nation on merchandising. Naturally,
he has secured vast fund of val
liable facts as to the most efficient
methods of selling. The officers of
the chamber of commerce feel that
Jacksonville is particularly FORUM
ate in having the privilege of an ad-
dress by DR.. Parlin and it is hoped
that the business men of the city will
turn out in large numbers to hear
him.
The secretary of the Seattle Com
mercial club writes as follows in
reference to the talk OF Dr.. Parlin
before that body:

pacity, trying to straddle the fence
and draw votes from both sides.
Mr.. Erickson Is an excellent cit
izen. a man OF fair ability. but a
little 'nutty" on municipal owner

support any and everything along
this line. whether wise or foolish.

than starting Il on sound footing.
MIR. Griffiths probably knows
more OF municipal affairs than any
other man In this city. having
studied these questions In detail
for many years.
Mr.. Griffiths has taken an active
interest In every public question
having TO do with the welfare of
the community. and he puts his
shoulder to the wheel and pushes
on the side he thinks Is right.
He has ability. caution and
sound judgment, and, furthermore.
is an honest man.

Editor Star: Two years ago Gill

deem his name. and II elected he
would not run to succeed himself.
This sympathetic appeal was sue
cessful.
Now he Is again a candidate. He
has broken his word and promise.
Gill's actions are hypocritical and
untruthful. Pretending 10 be a
friend of municipal ownership, in
an underhand way he constantly
tries to injure II. He is supported
by the street car company and cor
porations whose interests and de-
sires are to cripple the light plant
and other municipal ownership
projects.
To catch votes he is raising the
false issue OF high taxes" when
he knows that public debts have
been incurred which must be paid
and no man has the power to lower
taxes until these debts are paid.
Always supported by the liquor
men. he Is now flirting with the
prohibitionists. He says he has
reformed" yet II rumors be trut.
we have at present big restricted
district and gambling is flourishing.
Besides he retains a chief of police
whose disgraceful conduct is we'll

FOR GILL

Editor The Star: Since oui
ancient Third ward was thrown
upon the screen OF fame by Coun
Gilman Hiram Charles Gill. nc
more substantial and successful
civic counsellor has waged and
won our battles.
Gill's superior constancy as 4
student of municipal affairs has
rarely been equaled, never ex
celled.
Gill is completely prepared and
scientifically trained for his Job. at
which he labors effectively from
a. m. until p. m. each day
Gill deals with conditions In
stead of theories.
Gill sits unmcved by olamor
either private or public. He does
that which ne believes to be near
est right, unmindful of conse
quences or opinions.
GIL Is the only mayor big
enough aud brave enough to ap
point a committee OF really repre-
sentative citizens tn discuss and
dissolve a serious labor strike. He
exercised the power and right 10

army of amateur officers, whose
personally perpicious activities de
layed termination of the team
sters' troubles Mayor Gill's ini
tiative at that time proclaimed
permanent public policy worthy oi
universal approval and emulation
lie then and now advocated arbi
tration and adjustment in prefer
ence TO coercion and clubbing.

deserves rousing reelection.
