The answer to this. OF course, is
that the goods are not as represented
in the catalogue. The up to date To-
cal merchant. Of course. is conversant
with these facts and can explain them
to his customers il given an opportu-
nifty. and he can also. if he understands
his business thoroughly, explain the
vast difference between the goods sold
by the catalogue house and those sold
by him.
Articles Challenge Explanations.
The cheap. nashy. fimsy article can
never stand alongside Of the honest,
reliable article without challenging an
explanation.
The business man who cannot meet
this demand upon him Is not up to
date, and his education regarding the
line of goods he carries should be
touched up.
If the home town consumers are
alive and awake to their own interest
| they can begin to educate the local
merchants by demanding from then
the information concerning the differ
ence in the quality of their goods anc
! the goods of the catalogue retailer Il
! they are unable to explain they vii
| also be unable to render efficient serv
ice to their customers.
1t Is time merchants of this kint
wake up to the situation.

If you want to succeed in the world

The man who waits for the seventh

that the seventh wave is long time in

1t is doubtful if there be Il local re-
taller in the country who could not

Every woman who has ever attempt
ed TO lay hens on napkins or table
cloths or to hem them after they are
laid knows the impossibility Of doing
them quickly or well if the stiffening
Is not first removed. One way to get
them In proper conditlon,is to rub the
linen between the fingers and thumbs
along the entire length OF the hem
This gets out the stiffness and prevents
needles from breaking.
Another and better method is before
the linen, napkins particularly, is cut
apart, wet It along the line Of division
and for about an inch on each side
with a small toothbrush dipped IN
soapsuds. Not only will the thread
draw with few If any breaks, but thu
hem can be laid with much greater
case. Never attempt to cut linen by
the eye. II takes little more time tC
draw thread, and that Is easily mad,
up by the qulckness and accuracy Will
which the hem IS laid
