FAIR DIVISION OF TRADE.

I Formerly merchants made customers lot q
! lifetime Trade was handed down from father
| to SON. If parents had always patronlzed
certain store, the sons and daughters kept on
| buving there. If merchant had always dealt
fairly, one was as slow to go elsewhere as 10
discharge a faithful family physician. In the
old DAYS people hated to change trade rela-
tons
| Whatever can be said in favor of that point
of view, it has gone by now. People like to
change around from store to store They like to
test out various merchants and patronlze the
one that for the moment seems to have landed
the best bargains. The fact that they bought
goods at one place today and were satisfied, by
no means proves that they will buy there to-
morrow
Hence it becomes necessary for merchants to
keep up a constant campaign of solicitation by
advertising. In order to get business they do
not as formerly have to work against fixed trad
ing habits 1t is not difficult to secure new
business The person who bought of the other
fellow Yesterday will go elsewhere today if 1t Is
proved to him that it is worth while.
No one store has any monopoly of bargains.
Sometimes one viii make a strike, sometimes an
other. The only way for would-be purchaser
to find ont where he can buy to best advantage
is TO read the advertisements carefully. There
is an economy of time, effort and money IN not
ing what the merchants say through the news
papers The man with real bargain doesn t
keep still about it

stamps should be affixed to letters
