THE MAIL ORDER CHANCE.
Sears, Roebuck Get in Where
the Merchants Don't
Advertise.

Mr.. Herman Rosenthal, adver-
Using manager for Sears. Roebuck
& Co. of Chicago, recently told the
members of the American AID Club
one of the methods by which that
company extended its trade. He
said:
I'VE have bureau whose duty
it is to read, each week, the coun-
try newspapers from all over the
country. There is not paper of
any consequence in our trade ter
ritory that our bureau does not
get. This bureau looks over these
papers, and when we find a town
where the merchants are not ad
vertising in the local papers, we
Immediately flood that territory
with our literature. 1t always
brings good results far in excess Of
the same effort put forth in terri
tory where the local merchants all
the time use their local paper.
As the Commercial Association
Of Madison, Wis, has pointed out,
this statement rather "lets the cat
out of the bag" 1t let's it out,
indeed. squareIy into the lap of the
small town merchant who, while
failing to advertise judiciously in
his local paper, berates his fellow
townsmen for assisting in making
dividends for the mail order com
panies.
As has been stated in this paper
before. we believe the merchant
whose business is cut into most by
the mail order houses is the nom
Using OF the spasmodic ad-
vertisiug merchant of the small
town, and we do know that those
merchants who are regular and
persistent advertisers on their own
account have little time and spend
less in complaining of people send.
ing their money away from home.
The fact is that the mail order
house would have hard Shedding if
the merchants of the rural towns
and small cities were awake to the
opportunities that regular and in
telligent advertising -holds out to
him. 1t does seem that the rural
merchant should learn trat one
lesson from the nail-order mer
chant.

gether new respect for the old captain.
No one knew better than Alan that It
took a special brand Of courage to
whip him with words but the captain
had not stopped to stun his own ears
with cotton wool before engaging the
enemy. He had risked all in one
liquid, stinging. overwhelming vOlley
and he had won.
The captains code was peculiar, to
say the least. and held the passionate
pilgrim in ample regard but, as be
pointed out to Alan, 1t was a code of
honor. 1t played a game within rules.
He further remarked that the hawk
was a bird Of evil repute but person
ally he preferred him to the eagle that
fouls its own nest. There were other
pregnant phrases that hung in Alan's
mind for some time and half awak-
ened him to a realization of where he
stood. Many a man, propped up by
the sustaining atmosphere of a narrow
world, has passed merciless Judgment
on such sins as Alan's-metal, un-
proved, sitting in judgment over the
bar that twists in the flame. But the
captain was not one OF the worlds
confident army Of the untested. he
