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 $3t
to $3.50, 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 for its sale to
style, you are apt to question the legitimacy of that sale.
Therefore the following facts, which will be A, B, 6 to every
buyer and merchant, will probably be interesting news to you.
Aside from the store that merely lies about its prices and
the store that cuts the figures on some trivial article as a Dalt'
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. Sc
when it is found that any article is not eagerly bought, it Is
quickly reduced in price. The reason for this is too evident to
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 DO
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 OF
profits.
The third cause is your mental effect on the people who have
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 faith
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.

table as potatoes usually are, or may
be made into flour and-used in baking.
The tender shoots forced from the
large corms may be prepared like as
paragus, and make q pleasing dish in
that form.
Culture and Handling of Dasheens.
The dasheen is grown from whole
tubers weighing a few unce They
require a frostless season of at least
seven months with plenty of moisture.
A moist but well-drained, rich, sandy
loan has been found to be a satisfac-
tory soil for dasheen culture. A large
proportion of either clay or muck IN
the soil produces strong-fiavored, tough
corms which are often unfit for table
use. Large crops are produced under
such conditions, however. and make e
cellent stock feed.
The crop is planted in February in
southern Florida and as late rs the
early part Of April in South Carolina.
The plants are spaced about 315 by 81
feet. Dasheens may be dug for home
use by the middle Of September and
the main crop a be harvested at any
time after the last of October. The
clumps of tubers are left on the sur
fhce of the ground for several days to
dry. The tops and small roots are
then broken off and the dasheens
in storage.
The dasheen is a good shipper and Is
handled by the carriers at the same
freight rates as potatoes. The vege-
table has already found It's way into g
number of northern markets.

OIL DEVELOPMENTS NEAR
MORGAN CITY
From the T~imes-Picayune.

From the Times-Picayune.
That another large oil refinery i:
likely to be established in Louisiana
was learned Thursday, when an in
portant oil investment transaction
became known with the announce
ment that the Land Trust Company,
known as the Castell project, had
leased to George B. Clifford, OF
New York, almost $4,000 acres out
Of the company's large holdings in
Terrebonne parish, eight miles south
of Morgan City.
Mr.. Clifford is understood to re-
present large oil interests and him.
self has been a large oil refiner and
manufacturer. He said that he in
tends to start oil and gas develop
ment on the land he hiss leased at as
early a date as it is possible to get
the necessary material On the site
for drilling operations:
The closing Of the transaction be-
tween the Land Trust Company, re-
presented by W. j. Castell, and Mr..
Clifford, will, it was said, probably
meal the establishment of a large
oil refinery OF the banks of the
lower Atchafalaya river on tie Cas-
tell tract leased, where there is fine
water frontage and facilities for
establishing wharves. Mr.. Clifford
said that he will certainly erect the
refinery should oil be discovered in
sufficient quantity to warrant it,
and even should oil not be found,
the Mccormack wells, sixteen miles
south of the new site, no doubt will
justify the erection of the refinery.
The LAND is on the east bank of
the Atchafalaya river, the leased
portion extending through the tract
from the river line to the line ex-
tending toward Houma and with
fresh water, which is desirable for
oil refining, and the facility for
bringing ocean-going ships to the
wharves, Mr.. Clifford said he belize
we'd it is the ideal site for a refinery.
He has been investigating the pro-
perty several mouths. w. E. D.
Stokes. a multi-millionaire of New
York, also has been in consultation
with Mr.. Castell and is considered
one of the parties in the enterprise,
which, it is ruriored, has some of the
biggest capital in the country inter-
ested in it.
Mr.. Clifford said he is satisfied
that the oil vein extending from
Shreveport through the state and
by the Mccormack wells is
underneath his land and that not
only oil viii be found but gas for
operating the refinery and piping to
New Orleans and elsewhere will be
abundant. He said he believes Ter
'ebonne parish will become one of
he greatest oil and gas fields in the
world.

day morning within an hour and a
half OF each other. The first was
at 1880 on Lincoln way w, near the
high school building where a south
side car had caught fire from a fall

out by the department without diff
Guilty. Several cars were delayed
for nearly an hour on account Of the
accident.
The second alarm called the de-
partment to the rear Of Wurz Bros.

a large pile Of paper and rubbish
had caught from some unknown
cause. The blaze was near a gaso-
line and several other oil tanks, and
had il started in the night the en-
