COMPETITION WITH THE
MAIL ORDER HOUSES

The Merchants Trade Journal is
constantly trying to rouse the local
tradesmen to go out after their own
business and keep out the mail order
houses. In the May issue is an
article on the subject of meeting
mail order house competition in ones
local territory that many a storekeep-
err might read with profit, If 1t were
only for the encouragement it con-
tains. There are merchants who be-
lieve that the community they live
in is going to the dogs and that it is
a great personal injustice to them
that the people should send most of
their spending money away to the
mail order house instead of accept
ing the services of the home mer-
chant. The trade journal says of a
man who happened into a position of
downhill business going:
This merchant commenced to see
how things were going and he blamed
the mail order house and he blamed
the parcel post. In fact, he blamed
everybody but himself"
Then the article takes up the sue
cessful methods used by mail order
houses:
THE biggest asset the mail order
house has is their catalog, and
more money is spent on the compil-
alton of the catalog than in all the
rest of the departments put together.
"The catalog is the mail order
houses travelling salesman, their
window display and their sales force
combined. Therefore, it must be
borne in mind that no expense is
spared when it comes to the catalog
end of the mail order game. The
very highest class of ad writer's OBJ
tainable are put on this work.
Just take a catalog' and spend an
hour looking thru it, read a few of
their ads. Why these writer's can
make a man believe that n of their
$7.95 tailor made suits would make
him the envy of the most %fastidious
dressers, =
'The bunk that a mail order house
will hand you along these advertising
lines is simply amazing, and it is a
wonder to me that some of the self
respecting heads of these advertising
departments can sleep nights"
And everybody knows that bunk
is very acceptable to Americans, but
everybody does not realize that this
bunk is a mixture of courtesy, appre-
citation and enthusiasm. Anybody
prefers these qualities to Indifference.
People like bunk much better than
silence.

THE ARMY BEAMS TRIUMPH

There are things which no joke,
however good, or however old and
oft-repeated, can yer kill. The army
mule, as all soldiers know, is n Of
these. They put the attribute of a
colossal cheek to a man by saying
that it is equal to that of an army
mule. How the mule aver acquired
that fame may be unknown, unless
his cheek may be ascribed to him as
a merit by men knowing that, with
out it, he could not do the very large
part of work in war which falls to his
share. But as to the army bean 1t
is we'll known that 1t has been made
the joke of fighting men only because
they love it al they do. 1t is Scrip
Iture that man may not live by bread
alone. But armies doubt whether,
If driven to it. man might not live by
beans alone. Most old soldiers be-
lieve that he could.
Beans, cooked as they are almost
invariably cooked in military camps,
become both a staff of life and a
dainty. It is not that there Is a
necessity of special preparation. They
lend themselves readily to the crude
form of treatment they set, and yield,
in return, succulence and juiciness to
tickle the palate, and to f0rtify the
body. Their flavor is of the rare
sort which appeals to men wanting
their food not rich and rare but APP
petizing and sustaining: who want to
feel that what they are eating is not
only good to taste, but good for the
inner man. There is a tradition
among troops that the bean is the
'fightinest'' vegetable in the world.
And this tradition is not confined to
the men of the ranks. The officers
share it.
Wherefore, altho in late years we
have read much of how. the army ra-
ton has been improved, and how
made richer both in quantity and
quality, the old-fashioned army bean
is again going to the front with the
boys who are already on the firing
line. or may soon be there. There
are, indeed, some new things in the
ration now. No doubt some OF them
can make an appeal to e%picures, and
also to soldiers. But the tremendous
demand for army beans, which Is
now threatening to strain the sup
ply, and which is putting up the price
by leaps and bounds, tells the whole
story of how the men at the front,
however much they may relish some
of the new knicknacks, still hold to
the homely bean as the gift of the
gods to men who endure the burdens
of the pillar of cloud by day and fire
by night. Capt. links Of the Horse
Marines, NICE the hero of a popular
song, vowed that he fed beans to his
horse as a means of making that
war charger more strong and valor-
GUS. And the juices exuded by the
bean cooked over a campfire, without
any of the and fol-de-rols of
chefs and %epicures, is the Juice to
make an army of fighting men sing,
GLORY, glory, hallelujah, as we go
on"

SOLID IMPROVEMENTS
Music and Business

The Idaho cafe installed a beauti-
full orchestra piano last week, which
looks like a piano and sounds like
an orchestra. 1t makes eating even
more of a pleasure to have music
with meals. At each table is a slot
arrangement for starting the player
machine. just as 1t Is at the Bon
Ton. Three f1ourishing business
houses of Blackfoot now furnish
their patrons with good music; the
Empire Cigar store with its big cabi-
net photograph and excellent supply
Of records, and the Bon Ton and
Idaho cafe with their player pianos.
More Flowers
M. N. Austin, the flower man, on
Southeast Main, Is charging his
greenhouse to some extent, in order
to be able to meet the demands OF
the business. There Is nc competi-
ton in Mr.. Austin's field ut present,
but he is not waiting for that in
order to expand.
The Laundry
The Gem State laundry Is putting
in some new boilers at their plant
on South Taylor street this week.
For some time their business has
been demanding better hot water ia
c~ilities. They took over the clothes
cleaning and pressing establishment
of Mr.. Shettlemore a month ago and
have brought in an expert dry clean
er to handle that branch of the BUSH
ness.
The Spot Light
One Of the latest little publicity
schemes is the spot light, so placed
as to throw a strong illumination
around ones business sign. This
plan has been inaugurated in Black
foot by the Bon Ton confectionery.
The spot light sits on the top Of the
rear of the First National Bank
building and centers its attention up
on a large business sign that stands
v e the store, and makes 1t show up
perhaps with more emphasis than the
light of day does.
Pictures and Business
The Bon Ton confectionery has had
a series of large pictures painted for
the panels over the booths in their re-
freshing parlor. The scenes are most
ly of the moonlight shade, with but
two colors, which is the mural dec
orative idea. They are painted by
Mr.. Crandall, a local man of talent,
who owns a dry farm near Blackfoot.
These might easily pass for
exclusive imported works of art, al
tho they are simple, and it Is just a
case of enterprise and talent getting
together. The pictures add much to
the air of refinement aimed at by the
Bon Ton management.
