PRINTERS INK.

c. W. Felt, the Nez Perez live
wire merchant, has bought the Will
H. Rugg store in Peck, and proceeds
to take page in the Peck News to
tell the people what he has to sell,
and what his business is. Felt is the
greatest advertiser in the Northwest.
He knows the value of printers ink,
and the local newspaper is used most
literally. At times Mr.. Felt uses
two, sometimes more, pages in a
single issue, and keeps everlastingly
at it, He has beat the mail order
houses to a FRAGILE, and did it by
using printers ink. If Felt sells a
line of goods everybody in his ter
ritory knwos all about it. They
know why that particular Inc of
goods is carried by Felt, and they
also know why it. is better article
for the money than they can BUY from
the mail order houses. For some two
years Felt has been publishing prices
from mail order catalogues, and then
showing how he sells the same article
for less money, or a better article for
the same money. And he uses his
local paper to reach the people in his
territory because the home paper has
long since been acknowledged the
cheapest and best of advertising
mediums.
So successfully has Felt met the
mail order house DOGGY" that his
name has become familiar throughout
the country among merchants, and he
has had many calls from mercantile
assemblies for the why and how he
does it. Mr.. Felt will tell you that
one of his most effective weapons is
printers ink. He might have all
the goods in the world, and his prices
be lower than all competitors, and his
goods mold on his shelves while I'M
scrupulous mail order houses, by de-
ception. by tricks of the trade known
to every legitimate merchant, would,
by their catalogue advertising, carry
off the bulk of the trade from under
the nose of the home merchant. Felt
has used his local paper to educate
the people, and has kept trade at
home.
In the average country town COM
paratively few people know anything
about the merits of the goods carried
by their local stores, nor what lines
the home dealer handles.
The mail order house is an ADVERT :
ing expert, knows the value of
printers ink, and counts advertising
one of the most essential elements of
business.
Here is sample paragraph from
one Of Felt's recent ads:
page 2. They, Sears and Roe
buck of Chicago, quote you their
2k3l6 pearl button at cents the
dozen we offer you this season good
second quality pearl button in all
sizes at one cert dozen.
Here is another from the same page
ad:
page 30 They quote you their
36K3636Oi oil cloth at 26 cents; We
will fill your order on oil cloth at the
old price of 25c.
Felt takes the new fall catalogue
of Sears and Roebuck and shows tina,

cents pound less than the mail ordel

that" is an expression often heard
hut, consider Glenn Warner, miracle

For is years Warner led the Carlisle
Indians and in those is years Harvard.
Syracuse, Brown, Pennsylvania and
other big eastern schools were frequent
victims. Three years ago Warner left
Carlisle and the Indians have not won
an important game since.
Then Warner went to Pittsburgh
and backed tHm which had been
considered mediocre with his ingenuity
With the result that Pittsburgh has
not lost game In three years and for
two seasons has been considered the
best team in the east.
Warner is striking refutation to

From his men Warner demands ag-
gressiveness and absolute obedience.
f1e tells them what to do and they must
do it his way. He doesn't care how ag-
lgressive they are. In the Cornell.Pitt
game In 1915 seven Pittsburgh men
we're disqualified for roughness.
Warner, perhaps, is responsible for
more individual stars than any other
coach, and this takes in Stage ana

Jim Thorpe, the greatest all.round
athlete of all time, was developed by
Warner. So was Mt. Pleasant, one OF
the best quarterbacks the east has eve,
seen, and the two Guyons. At Pitts.
burgh he has developed Peck, the great
center; Heron, wonderful end; Hast.
ings, De Hart and McLauren, consid.
cred one of the greatest backflelds ever
grouped on one team.
Warner was Cornell man and after
he left college coached there.
He wasn't much of success at Cor.
nell and two years later went to Car.
isle. where he soon earned the repu.
tation of being one Of the first coaches
