Goods In Plain Packages.

Were it not so serious it would be
amusing to read some OF the smooth
arguments the catalogue houses ad-
vance to their readers in an effort to
induce them to send in orders. They
say that goods are sent in plain pack
ages because many merchants who buy
Of them to sell again object to having
their name appear on the boxes. We
know we are safe in saying there is
not one single merchant in the whole
United States who ever ordered any
goods from these concerns. The state
ment is made in an effort to make the
consumer believe that be can buy as
cheaply as his local merchant can.
But printed matter that will sell
goods is within the power of almost
any local retailer Most all the expert
advice is little more than empty gen
eralizing about nonessentials. 1t is not
literature, remember, but advertising,
that you want to write. Knowledge of
words and type and the ability to
write fine Introductory para graphs and
striking headings are not to be de
spised. Of course. but the facts, not
fancy ways of saying them. are what
induce the people to spend their money
in the local stores
The merchants knowledge of his
store, his goods and the people is more
than an offset for any lack Of ability to
coin catchy phrases or to use technical
language in telling the printer how he
would like to have his advertising
look.
When the merchant sits down to
write his ad. he should imagine that
his hardest customer to sell to is seat
ed on the other side of his desk He
should write what his talk would be
if he were determined to make a sale
to that customer when in the most OBJ
stinate Of moods. He should write it
ali down. then lock ii in his desk for a
few hours, later cut out all the super
tiuous words and print the facts with
out any trimmings.

The first hypocrite was the man who
stole the livery of the court Of heaven
to serve the devil in.
Some people speak as if hypocrites
were confined only to religion. but
they are everywhere, people pretend
ing to wealth when they have not d
sixpence, assuming knowledge Of which
they are ignorant, shamming cul-
ture they are far removed from. adopt
ing opinions they do not hold and pre-
tending honest business roles which
are far from the legitimate.
As a man loves gold, in that pro
portion he hates to be imposed upon
by counterfeits. and in proportion as
man has regard for that which is
above price and better than gold he
abhors that hypocrisy which is but
its counterfeit
Lying before the writer is the acme
of hypocrisy. 1t is a catalogue of one
of those mail order houses, and on one
page three sewing machines are adver-
tised The first is declared to be the
most perfect sewing machine on the
market" the second is said to have
more good sensible ideas than any
other" while the third is praised as
being 'the most superior sewing ma
chine on the market
Now, which of these machines really
is the best? Which of them is as good
as the one your retailer sells and guar
