man conducting a retail lumber yard,
and if there is any personal prestige
to this man, he can do as above out

Second-Meet these catalogue firms
at their own game. What l mean
by this is, in some way it is up to
Mr.. Retailer to obtain through some
channels these catalogue prices and
terms,-in other words, Mr.. Retailer
should know as much about these cata-
logue terms, prices, methods, as well
as their grades and quality, consider
ing their services, as he does about
his own, so he may know just what
he is talking about and be able to
show Mr. Customer all these points
in a congenial and business-like way
using no sarcasm whatever. Show
them where we stand ready with a
stock on hand, to furnish them at q
moments notice, show them where oul
stock is better; show them where they
can get this as they want it; show
them where we keep it in our shed:

could not expect we take it and al
low him but very little, and show
him where he would lose money here
too. Then if he wants to buy a
straight car, and is in shape to take
it from the car, explain to him where
we can give him the benefit of the
unloading and where we will stand
ready to help him load and check
the material, so he will get just what
he pays for, and show him if there
should be a few pieces short, we have
it in the yard and stand ready to
make it good, and where he deals with
these catalogue firms, if he is few
pieces short, or where there may be
few broken pieces, it all amounts
to money, and even though they
guarantee correct count, they are
so far away and hardly worth the
time and extra grief to try and get
his money back, and then a chance
where he would not get it, as there
are so many of these that are not
responsible, and furthermore, they may
be out of business most any time for
good reasons; show where these cata-
logue firms violate the laws of the
United States and where they have
been indicted for this and naturally
would involve them where it would
cost them time when they cannot take
it, besides cash money to go and
come, and worst of all, stand chance
for fine with the shippers.
Explain to them our terms, end
! the catalogue terms, if they want
to buy from US at the same price, ex-
plain to them it would not be more

in advance, for them to unload and
load, for them to wait from three
weeks to two months for shipments
when they wanted it without delay
but as they have paid for it in ad'
