Playing the Game.

Retail trade has to play the game
according to the spirit of the times and
the business customs of the period.
There was a time when few merchants
paid much attention to show window
displays. Their windows were small
narrow PANIED affairs, often no bigger
than what you can see in an old dwell
ing house. "A few fly specked and shop
worn goods were kept there month af-
ter month. MANY merchants rarely
washed their windows. A merchant
might be able to get along very we'll
in those times without dressing up his
windows.
When the idea of attractive displays
came in the merchants who put in
handsome plate glass and who took
pains with their showing gained a
great advantage. 1t Cost money to do
it. but their competitors simply had
to do the same thing or create a very
unfayorable impression.
The merchants attitude toward ad-
vertising is just the same. In the old
days store could do good business
without it. But today store that does
not advertise seems as much out of the
spirit of the age as the store with old
fashioned windows and no, attempt at
display.

Rock island Plow Co. Successful Pur-
chasers--Heiders Will Continue
Making Ladders and Eveners

Carroll, Jan. announcement was
made this week OF the sale of the pat
ents and machinery pertaining to the
manufacture of the Heider tractor to
the Rock Island Pillow company of Rock
Island. ILL., This announcement comes
as a general shock in the business cir
cles of Carroll, as it was entirely I'M
expected and will mean great loss to
the business of the city.
The change becomes effective at
once, and as soon as possible the trac-
tor plant will be dismantled and re-
moved to Rock Island. However, the
Heider Manufacturing company Is not
to leave Carroll, but will continue in
business here in the manufacture of
ladders and eveners. This part OF the
plant is doing an excellent business.
having large contracts for the COM
ing year. all of which will be filled as
usual. Only the Heider tractor is in
volved in the change.
The Heider company started bust
ness about fifteen years ago and has
thrived, and will remain in business
making eveners and other agricultural
specialties that they have been making
in their other plant.
The Heider company had contracted
for about $150,000 worth OF tractors
for 1916. which contracts will go with
the patents to the Rock Island PloW
company. The change decreases their
pay roll about $4,000, which was prac-
tically all spent with the Carroll Nmer-
chants.
