The Precise Meaning
of and Cause for Cut
Prices and Clear
anCe Sales

By j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia

When YOU see a suit of clothes marked down say from S3O
to 800 80, YOU generally assume that the merchant was over
stocked. But when you see a cut price on a diamond or a dining
chair or any other staple article less responsible 1or ls sale 10
style, YOU are apt to question the legitimacy of that sale.
Therefore the following facts, which will be A, b, ito every
buver and merchant, will probably be interesting news TO you
Aside from the store that merely lies about it's prices ana
the store that cuts the figures on some trivial article as a bait,
there are four contributing causes for a cut price.
The cause which most people already understand, OF course
is too much stock. No buyer can tell just what pattern OF a suit
or dress or what color in a fabric is going to be most popular. 80
when it is found that any article is not eagerly bought, 1t Is
quickly reduced in price. The reason for this is too evident 10
dwell upon.
The second cause is the financial one. Every merchant
allows himself and each of his buyers just so much money for
every stock of goods carried. For example, a shoe department
which is allowed $4,000 upon which to do business must 90
business on that much capital. The buyer must be in the market
for new goods at certain seasons of the year. If his capital Is
all tied up in old stock he will not be able to buy new STOCK.
Therefore he must have ready capital even at the expense or
profits.
The third cause is your mental effect on the people who nave
to sell the goods. The moment you, the public, do not buy a GER
tain article, that article Immediately loses value In the eyes OF
the man or woman who is selling it. Again and again the buyer
is obliged to cut the price of perfectly good merchandise simply
because you, the public, have made his salesforce lose falth
in it. The moment you won't buy it they can't sell it.
The fourth cause is the interest on the investment. A stores
money is made by the number of times it is able to turn It's STOCK
in a year. The greatest dread of any store is Of stock which does
not "turn." Some merchants have figured that it pays them to
sell every article in their store at least once a year. And such
merchants do this even with such staple articles of rising value
as diamonds themselves.
These are the four laws for clearance sales and cut prices,
and, knowing them, you should watch the advertising eagerly
for the many advantages you are sure to find.

THE SPIRIT OF BROTHERHOOD

After reading the following token
from the news of recent date, do you
wonder that John D. gives pennies to
Sunday school children:
New York, April 17,-John Melin,
the Sleepy Hollow inn keeper who de-
fed John D. Rockefeller for years. was
buried Sunday from the aims house.
John Melin years ago owned a cor
ner plot in Sleepy Hollow, opposite
the entrance to the Rockefeller estate.
He had conducted a saloon there for
years before Rockefeller came to Po-
cantico Hills, and refused to sell.
Rockefeller bought all the property
around Melin, he put in as tenants men
employed on his estate and issued an
order that none should %patronize
Melin. The result was that Melin lost
his business and finally went to the
aims house. Rockefeller finally got
the property.
OF course he got it. John Is a Sun
day school teacher and a leading citi-
zen!

WHAT NEXT

Happily the majority of the fathers
and mothers of this country do not
think like the woman mentioned in the
following from the Argus-Leader:
THAT it is passing out of style for
educated cultured women to become
mothers and that the sacred task of
motherhood should be left to the wo-
men Of the lower classes Is the doc
trine preached by a prominent club wo-
man Of Duluth. According to an AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch this woman ad-
vocated the selection of lower type wo-
men for breeding purposes. And IL
cranks like this are the results Of cul-
ture it Is not likely that the race would
suffer much If her advice were follow
ed; only just what does she mean by
lower type women?"
What on top side of earth will be
the end Of a country in which so many
people of this class are today living
and preaching their absurd doctrines?

are road funds now lying idle in the

poses ard yet nothing can or will be
done to remedy the shameful condi-
ton of the roads of the county. The

 The final Womans Party rally in Phoenix, according to the committee ln charge. IS to be the most spectacular of any of the political meetings of this suffrage first" organization that is doing battle with the democratic party. A large stage has been built for the affair. which will be draped in the purple. white and gold tri-coler of the Congressional Union, and the stage or namented with palms and flowers.
 Mrs. Frederick A. Stafford. vice. chairman Of the Marieopa county com mttee. and Dr Marion Walker Will Hams, Arizona member of the National Advisory Council. are to be the local representatives of this final beautiful affair in which lneZ Milhollard Bois- sevain. the well known beauty and feminist. is to make the final appeal of the Womaiu's Party 10 the voting women of Arizona.

Moreover, the hypocrisy of the charge has been made apparent through the production of conclusive evidence that MT. Wilson's managers were trying to do exactly what they charged Mir. Hughes with having done. MT. Hughes has never agreed nor promised-I use the words of Mr. Hapgood and the writer of the statement put out in this morning s papers by the democratic national com mittee-to reflect in his public ad- dresses the opinions of any particular group.

Walter Benweu Hinson, D. D. IL. D.. who is to deliver a series of evan gelistic lecture sermons at the First Baptist church. is expected to arrive in the city today and will open the series of meetings at 730 o'clock tonight.
 Dr, Hinson very recently closed an engagement in Pueblo. Colo. of which the press says:
 pr. w. B. Hinson, of Portland, Ore gon, superintendent of evangelism for the western states, has just closed a brief hut great meeting with the churches of Pueblo. He was with us for two Sundays and the intervening week and was able to do in that time a really wonderful work.
 "He is homietcal in his makeup to a degree, and sermons leap from his lips. il would seem almost without effort His preaching is always strict ly and illuminatingly teXtual and one is amazed at the way he makes a text of scripture live as he unfoldS it's beauty and eXalts his Christ before you.
 With keen analysis and scholarly exposition and simple yet forceful pre- sentaticn, with a profound faith in God and a deVout love for Jesus Christ. and an unbounded desire to lead men into the kingdom, he pours forth his soul in messages that invariably reach the heart, illustrated as they are from almost every realm of knowledge and embellished with the richest gems of literature, for one would think he neV- CT forgot a single thing he ever read.
 Ranging from the conversational tone to the highly explosive, he fear lessly attacks sin and powerfully pre- sents the truth. always holding his hearers as in wise till the last word has been spoken.
 High as were our hopes everything we expected of Dr. Hinson was more than realized
