ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
''The Troubles Of a Merchant and
How TO Stop Them" To BE Given
at the Gem Theater Thursday
Night, October %.

Announcement has been made by
Carl Dodds, Secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce that he has COM
pjeted arrangements with the Nation
al Cash Register Company to bring to
MGysville an illustrated lecture on
retail merchandising. The lecture, to-
gether with a three reel feature film.
Troubles of Merchant and How to
Stop Them" will be given Thursday
night, October rs, at o'clock, in the
Gem Theater. Mr.. Burns, expert lee
turer, will accompany the film.
The retail merchandising lecture,
which has been prepared by the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, is de-
clared to be one of the most cOmpre-
hensive lectures on the reasons for
retail business failures ever prepared.
and has been shown before CONNER
cial bodies, convention and other Or
CARNATIONS the country over.
By means of stereopticon slides, the
lecture deals with the value of news
paper advertising to the merchants,
tells him how to prepare advertise
ments, and also explains in detail the
best methods of window display how
t.. solve delivery problems, perfect a
store organization and other inter-
esting ideas.
The feature film, Troubles of a
Merchant and How to Stop Them"
which will be shown for the first time
in this city, was prepared by the Es-
sanay Company for the National Cash
Register organization at cost of
$4,000. Expert actors were employ
ed for every character, and it is said
that every scene contains lesson for
retail merchants and their salespeo-
pie.
The film tells the story Of Mr..
White, a grocer, who was discouraged
and disheartened because of his lack
OF success. The story shows the in
difference of his clerks, his bad store
systems, his poorly arranged stock,
and other causes of his troubles. How
he finally rose to success and pros
perity through the introductions of
modern methods into his store will
I've shown in the film.
Many ideas of Importance to mer-
chants and clerks will be brought out
during the lecture. In other COM
munities where 1t has been shown 1t
has met with great enthusiasm. 1t
is expected that every business man
and clerk in the city will avail him
self of the opportunity offered by the
lecture, and that large attendance
will result. No charge will be made
lor admission.
A special appeal is made to our
merchants to permit their clerks to
take advantage Of attending as many
# the sessions as can be arranged
without extreme inconvenience.
A higher educated clerk means a
better salesman for you Mr.. Merchant
and it is needless to tell you that a
better salesman means more profits.

g p. IN. The letter follows:
Louisville, KY, October 10, 1917.
Miss Alice Lloyd, Chairman,
Mason County Food Conservation
Committee, Maysville, Ky.
My dear Miss Lloyd:
Nearly one hundred counties In
Kentucky have been organized for the
Food Pledge Card Campaign during
tliS NCCh VI oStobCi
The Chairman in practically every
county has secured splendid array
OF workers, which is the aggregate
will constitute an army that will
make this one of the most successful
campaigns ever conducted in this
country Every County Chairman
seems to realize that she is part OF
the war working force Of the United
States, and there Is little or no dis
position to avoid the issue. 1t is this
spirit that must pervade the entire
campaign.
There is no medium better calcu-
lated to bring about this result than
the massing of forces with the result
tant inspiration that comes from CO.
workers being in touch with each 9TH
er.
1t is with this idea that we venture
the suggestion that before October q,
you have general meeting of all OF
the members of the various commit
tees in your county for final instruc-
tions, at which time the opportunity
might be taken advantage of to have
them addressed by some particularly
forceful speaker. Such meeting
would give a zest to the campaign in
general that would mean bigger de-
gree of success than might otherwise
be obtained.
Yours very truly,
w. +. MORROW,
