Marseilles, based on her win over
Strcator Friday night, looms up in the
horizon ~ real title contcndtrs. The
quintet from the town east Of here
bumped Ottawa High twice and
whipped the College Ave on two occa.
sipns. McCurdy has been the main
performer for the Marseilles team and
looks az II he were one OF the best
bets Of the season.
Ia Salle-Peru, confident over their
win from Ottawa last Friday night

possesses enough speed. curves and

sun OF the trio. He has twirled eight
shut-outs during the past season and
is ''doped' to work against the locals.
The infeld OF the MarQuettes is re-
garded as the fastest thing in shoe

as to who he will send to the mound

winner of this tournament as there
are several teams OF about the same
strength. Morris. Hall and La Sale,
however, are among the favorites
picked by the dopesters.
Luther College will open with
Streator and an interesting game Is
expected. The lads from across the

BUSINESS AND RAIN

A greater volume Of business is being transacted
in the United States just now than at any former time
in it's history. Some Of this business is in the manu-
facture Of munitions. but this ia but q small part of the
total. Az a matter Of fact, we have increased our food
exports. Part Of the increase is due in a more or
exportsexports. Part Of the increase IL due in more or
less indirect manner to the activities Of war. War has
enhanced prices of almost everything. The products Of
the soil are bringing more money to the man who pro-
duces them than ever before, and the man who works
for daily wages is receiving better pay than ever. This
money is being distributed throughout a hundred chan
nels. individuals all over the country are buying goods
and making improvements on such a scale that the
aggregate runs into enormous figures.
Business has been good in North Dakota. Travelling
men have been making record sales, and there has SEEM
ed to be no limit to the demand for goods Of all kinds.
Recently there has been a slackening in those sections of
the state which are most in need Of rain. In these Soc
tons, while actual damage to crops has been scarcely
perceptible. the spring has been so dry that it was felt
that unless rain came soon great damage would result.
One salesman for an agricultural implement house had
a deal pending with q customer for the sale Of a num-
Der of drills for next springs delivery. Last week the
customer declined to discuss the subject at all. He said
that the condition was becoming SO critical that he
could not oven consider the matter. Monday 1t rained.
and during a telephone conversation on another matter
the salesman asked: What about those drills?' Send
them along" said the customer. I'VE have had a fine
rain and everything is Oil right"
That is one of the ways in which the weather at
fects business.

How National Advertising Simplifies
Telephone Ordering
copyrsht-Mallory, Mitchell {

Copyrsht-Manory, Mitchell 4 Faun)
Iii a MATTER OF ECONOMY for the dealer to handle e.
tensiyely advertised brands; Especially is this 50 in food products.
c,,,l Economy OF time results from what we have called CON-
SUMER ACCEPTANCE or the willingness Of the consumer to
accept advertised products without question. In IS busy a place as
the ordinary grocery store this isa factor of decided importance.
a very definite way in which this principle Of consumer. ae-
ceptance results in economy for the grocer is by increasing the
amount Of business done by telephone. In many groceries which
feature advertised brands, as much a. rs or so per cent Of their
total business is done by telephone.
This huge percentage is possible ONLY because these stores
handle the product which people have come to know through the
advertising. People can ask for the product BY the brand name
the ADVERTISED name and know just what they will receive
1t rs not necessary to go to the store to SEE the article and re-
eeive the salesnnan's assurance that i is a quality product.
vertising and has only to specify the brand name when ordering,
which can be done as wen by telephone as by a personal visit to
the store.
Consider the advantage to the grocer.
1t means that the work of putting up orders may be disui-
buted more evenly throughout the day. 1t means that it is not
necessary to have idle clerks during a large part of the day in or
der to have help enough for the rush orders which are always a fea-
ture OF the ordinary grocery store. It means that these rush
hours are abolished to q large extent. It means fewer clerks are
necessary.
In short, the handling of advertised brands of food products
means s%iupf6ed se1ing-6ltng RDERS with wer-known and
acceptable merchandise instead Of high-pressure selling.
