The Cash and Carry" system is
alright but the merchant must not
forget that it's up to him to do
bit of educational work. If our
stores can sell for less the merchant
must show the customer: he must
advertise his prices so the people
can see. In other words the ner-
chant must go out and get the bus
mess just as the catalogue houses
go after it. And there is no way
space in the home paper. Display
advertising in q local paper-one
full page a week-costs about the
same as postage on drop letters plus
the value of addressing. So the
merchant who advertises in good
local, home paper can sell goods a
little cheaper than the merchant
who floods the mali with circular
letters. The reason for this is that
the home paper pays no postage for
the papers it sends to people living
in the county. We can mail one
thousand papers week to residents
of Clearwater county for nothing.
The merchant pays $40. postage for
one thousand drop letters, and $50
a thousand for regular letters, be-
sides the cost of envelope, paper, and
addressing, another cent each, Of
$40 per thousand. Figuring on the
basis of the Blackfoot Republican
