The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1917-03-23

A special to the Indianapolis News
from Marion, Ind; says that after
hard fight of seventeen years against
competitors who advertised, Gunder
Bros, dry goods merchants, the oldest
mercantile firm in Marion and at one
time the largest retail house in north
ern Indiana, have given up the hope
less struggle and sold out their bust
ness.
When gas was discovered In Marion
the town began to grow rapidly, and
competition in all business was soon
encountered by all the old local mer-
chants. The new merchants adyer-
tised, but many of the old established
firms were slow in believing that it
was necessary for them to use print
ers' ink, as they knew nearly every
man in the county. All Of them who
are now in business concluded that it
was necessary to advertise in order to
hold what trade they had and to in
crease it. except Gunder Bros, who
absolutely refused claiming it was
money thrown away. The firm had the
best business site in the city, but the
store was never filled with shoppers.
Thousands passed and repassed the
place day after day without stopping.
The firm carried an excellent line of
goods and treated customers WELL but
only few farmers and some of the
old citizens of Marion patronized the
place. The store is now closed for in
voice
Most merchants now agree that ad-
vertising IL "a necessity and that the
best medium IL the local paper.

LONDON STOCK MARKET

LONDON, May "a. While trading in
securities on the Stock Exchange was fairly
brisk today business was checked In the
forenoon by Empire Day demonstrations on
the floor. The undertone Of the markets
was strong.
The gilt-edged section, which hardened,
was cheerful. Allied bends were buoyant,
with a good, fresh advance in Russian de-
scriptions.
Americans were quiet and weaker and
Canadian Pachcs sympathi2ed. In spite
of good earnings Grand Trunks were
heavy,
Home lines were spotty and mixed but
the shares of Argentine roads moved
upward
Kafirs improved on the settlement OF the
strike at the Rand. Some rubber and oil
issues were better.
