TO
 THE RETAIL TRADE
GEYER 6 ADAMS co. SENDS CIR cULAR TO TRADE, SHOWING HOW IT WORKS AGAINST
 MAIL ORDER HOUSE.

The Geyer & Adams Go. is this week mailing to the trade circulars showing how it is assisting the retail merchants of Arkansas to combat the peddler and mail order house. The principal element in the fight against these natural enemies of the retailer is by declining to sell to them, and thus preventing an obnoxious eompeti- tor entering the field.
 The Geyer 6 Adams Go. circular is as follows:
 Whose Business!
 Yours or the aMail-Order House?
 "Who deserves the cash business of your community the Mail-Order House, or the Peddler?
 "Who get the cash business of your community you, the Mail-Order House, or the Peddler?
 Whose goods are best from qual- ity standpoint-yours. the Mail-Order House, or the Peddlers? Yours Of Course!!
 'Why then does the Mail-Order House and the Peddler get the Busi- ness? k
 "Because-Many of the Retail Deal CTS are Asleep at the switch" Not every retailer is asleep nor are these always asleep, but many retailers are drowsing over the most vital factor in their commercial lives.
 Meanwhile the Mail-Order House, GI,,Ic Do Wagon Men gather the cream from the retailers trade, getting cash always leaving to the retailer the sale of SUI gar, four and fat-back-on charge ac- counts
 Do you accept eggs and country produce in exchange for merchandise@ Do you pay cash for produce or do you insist that your customers trade them out in exchange for other mer chandise?
 sAs the growing season is compara- lively short, many retailers accept farm produce in excess of the mer- chandise they exchange for same, pay ing the difference in cash.
 Much of this cash where the mer- chant is not on to his job rendering service to his customers and giving them first class goods finds it's way to the Mail-Order House and the Pedd- Ter. More progressive dealers issue checks or due bills, which may De traded out at any time. The advan- l tages of the plan are many Cash paid mi G,.1 oIc, T neither the customer nor the commun- | ity reaps much benefit from it. Cheeks or bills must be traded out where is sued. The produce taken in exchange for them is, of course, sold for cash, l and several months often elapse be- money enables the Retailer to dis count his bills and to buy for cash, ! thus enabling him to serve his patrons to better advantage. It assists in financing his business and, best of all. it guarantees that the money will be eventually spent at his store and re- main in the community to the benefit of everybody. Install a check or due bill system and you will increase your sales.
 Your interests are ours. And if you don't sell the profitable special ties, we cannot sell them-for we do not sell the Mail-Order, Soap Clubs or Peddler people under any circum- stances: we do our business through you

. kansas and making it 8 promotion, the I. H. C. pays an indirect compli- ment to the state.
 Born in Owen county, Ky, Mr. Nell son resided in peace and content ment on the farm until he had reach ed his sixteenth year. Then he packed carpet bag and moved in to War saw, the metropolis of Gallatin coun- ty. Like many another youth who has since become prominent, young Nel- and for three years energetically wrapped bundles, rolled salt barrels, and traded calico for buriey twist. At the age of 19 years he graduated from the ranks and entered the trade which is the dream of youngsters-he opened a candy store. This rapidly merged into general mercantile es- tablishment, which grew like MT. Fin ney's turnip.
 When MT. Nelson reached his ma jority Gallatin county had sheriff who neglected to make his bond, and the office was rendered the young merchant He accepted and served two terms of three years each.
 In 1896 MT. Nelson disposed of his mercantile interests in Warsaw and went to Louisville as a salesman for the Deering Harvester Company. He was elevated to the position of "block- man" at the end of his first year, which made him practically sales man. ager in Kentucky In 1901 Mr Mel son was made general agent for the Deering Company, and held that posi- tion with the International until sent to Harrisburg, Pa, in 1908. His sue cess there entitled him to promotion to the general agency for Indiana, which he accepted in 1913 Mir. Nell son was sent to Little Rock January 1, 1915.
 MT Nelson has never been out of sight of the farm from the day he left agricultural pursuits. He believes that a~man who sells agricultural inn plements should be posted on every phase of farm life, and know where to make short cuts which will in crease the yield and decrease the cost of production. His application to the development of his field keeps him in daily touch with the crops of his sec tion, and all machinery demonstra- tions are attended by him. This has enabled him to assist in designing machinery now being manufactured by his company.
 Though a resident of Little Rock only two years, N. W. Nelson has an acquaintance that is marvellous, and every man he meets remains his friend This means a great deal for the development of Arkansas. and N ". Nelson is a born developer.
