INDIANA'S BOY TRAPPERS
Coantry Lads Make Tidy Sum By
Selling Pelts to ST. Louis Fur Dealers

Eot small part of the great fur
business of st. Louis, and also OF
otlser fur centres, is done with the
country boys of Indiana. The fur
buyers of st. Louis think so well OF
the. Indiana boys that when the an
nuaf price lists are sent out many OF
them go to the young trappers, who
ado to their cash on hand by this
wister avocation, says the Indianap-
oils News.
| Gne of the most important skins
in which the country boys traffic is
skunk. The pelt of a skunk will
measure about six inches broad by
eigtteen inches long, including the
tail Prices vary from SO to 81 for
8: IN that is all black except a white
spo on the head dcy-ii to the mostly

Gems to 81. Between these two
cone the skin that is black and has
two white stripes running halfway
bae~ tc the hips. worth from 81 to
g. and the pelt that has two aar-
row stripes running all the way blk
wh.fsh is quoted from SIPS to 81
The possum, too. has a price set on
his skin sufficiently high to tempt the
farmer boys away from warm fire
at light. 1t ranges from 35 cents
to 3, depending on size. The musk
rat IS another denizen of Indiana
streams that must be on his guard.
His spelt will measure about six by
flfte<n inches and is quoted at Is
cents to 40 cents. The coon, that
tt'asbrother to the bear. dare not
ven lre forth on a moist night in
seas hs of sustenance lest he run the
danger of traps or big-mouthed dogs.
His skin can be sold from 81 to
$2.25S for an ordinary specimen, to
$1.Elsto SO for a dark one.
T7sem mink, while not at all plend-
full, may often be found along Indi-
ana streams. His hide will measure,
PERTAINS, three and one-half by four
inches and is quoted at from so
cent, to 50 for pale specimen, to 81
to $2.b0, for an ordinary one, and
from $1.75 to S325 for a dark one.
The fox is not quite extinct, but it Is
rare in Indiana. Occasionally one is
caught and If the skin Is In good
shape and of good red it is worth
from $4.75 to $3.50. 1t will measure
perhaps eight and one-half by twen-
ty-efght inches.
Tie country boy usually runs his
striuE of traps once a day, sometimes
twics, in the morning and in the ev-
enings II the weather is bad the
traps may not be visited more than
oncsin two days. Most of these ami
mala hare established paths or runs

of them are exceedingly wary and
can discover a trap and will give it
a wide berth.
TIE amount that the boys on the
farm may make varies with locali-
ties and conditions, but many of

the peddler for rabbits to what their
skfrs bring them at st. Louis or New
York. will make from $40 to $40

81, ia.a'77c,ised Goods

A noted speaker once made the
statement that he always looked with
suspicion on goods that were not ad-
vertised. While this, perhaps, is an
extreme statement, it can be truth
fully said that the very fact that an
article Is advertised, Is, at least, cir
cumstantial evidence that it pos
sesses merit, since no advertiser
would risk money in buying adver-
tfSing space unless he was reason
ably certain that each sale he made
would make, or would assist to
make, other sales. The advertiser
who sells but once to a customer, or
but one of his articles or machines
in a neighborhood will not be able
to advertise very long.
In this day and age one can trade
with dealer or manufacturer in a
city a thousand miles away and be
assured of receiving as fair treat
ment as he would from local dealers.
Manufacturers of advertised goods
know that honesty Is the best policy
that a pleased customer is the best
advertisement.
Many claim that in the final calcu-
lation, the purchaser pays the adver-
tising bills. Perhaps, in a strict
sense, this is true, but this does not
necessarily mean that the purchaser
pays more for advertised goods than
he would have to pay for goods that
are not advertised. In fact, the re-
verse Of this Is usually true. Adver-
tised goods can be, and usually are,
sold cheaper than goods of similar
qualities that are not advertised. Ad-
nnft osr
mand, and this demand calls for the
most efficient and economical meth
DDS of buying raw products, of manu-
featuring, distributing and selling.
The automobile manufacturer who
makes and sells but five hundred ma
chimes a year could not possibly sell
as cheaply as the manufacturer who
| makes and sells one hundred thou
sand machines. The manufacturer,
of course, tacks the cost of his ad-
vertising to the price, but the adver-
tising stimulates such a sale that he
Is able to cut the cost of manufactur-
ing and selling to such figure that
he can still sell cheaper than manu-
facturers who do not advertise.
We farmers owe debt of graft
tude to advertisers and the papers
that carry their advertisements. Had
-no-m separator been advertised,
we farmers would today be skim
ming milk in the old-fashioned meth
cd that our fathers used thirty years
ago. Had no moving machines been
advertised, we would still be har-
vesting our wheat and oat crops with
scythes. Had no seed drills been ad.
vertised, we would still plant oul
fields in the "chicken-feeding" man.
ner employed years ago.
And so it Is with all the improve
ments that have benefited farming
conditions and lightened the labor o.
} farmers the advertiser has blazet
the trail. Agricultural papers anG
, experiment stations have not beer
lax in calling attention to, and ad
vocating the use of, these improve
, ments and appliances, but the manu-
facturer-the man who has the ak
to grind-the man who spent hare
cash in advertising the article int
general use, is entitled to the mos
, credit.-T u. Richey.
