EXPERT SHOWS
RETAILERS HOW
ADS WILL PAY

An interesting lecture on retail mer-
| chandsing was given last night at the
High school auditorium when r. H.
| Kennedy, expert lecturer of the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, told of
| the causes for loss in retail business,
and how they could be remedied The
lecture was given under the auspices
of the Retail Merchants association.
More than 200 merchants and sales
people were present. Stereopticon
slides and motion pictures were used
throughout the lecture by Mr.. Ken
nedy to emphasize the various points.
inefficient business methods cause
the great majority of losses" said Mr.
Kennedy He then cited figures to
prove this fact, showing that last year
6494 retail merchants failed This
means twenty-one failures every bust
ness day; one every thirty minutes"
he said
Particular emphasis was laid on the
value of newspaper advertising to the
retail merchant in the lecture. Mr.
Kennedy said in part:
More people can be reached oftener
and at less expense by newspaper ad-
vertising, than by any other medium
But don't spend few dollars advertis-
ing, and then say advertising doesn't
pay. Make advertising a continuous
policy of your store and you will not
be disappointed with results The
proper method of preparing newspaper
advertisements was shown by Mr..
Kennedy.
Window display problems, efficiency
of clerks, store organization, selling
methods, system in retail business,
and delivery problems were also dis
cussed in an interesting manner.
The three-reel motion picture film.
troubles of Merchant and How to
Stop Them" which was shown in con-
nectlon with the lecture, was a big
feature of the evening. In a vivid
manner, the trouble of a merchant
who conducted his store along out-of-
date lines were shown. Although this
particular merchant was slavins ..ong
IA hours day, he was on the verge of
bankruptcy, with no prospects of ever
succeeding. BY eliminating his leaks
and losses, he became successful in
financial way.
The chief character in the film vas
Mr.. White, a merchant. His store was
located in an old, unattractiye builL-
ing. High windows prevented good
display of merchandise. The sidewalk
in front of the store was dirty. Con-
Sequently, many people passed. his
doors to buy elsewhere. His CLERKS
were indifferent. Poor business meth
ods lost him what money he took in.
t!e seemed to be hopelessly il debt
At this point a change came He
was induced to install modern brsi-
ness methods. He cleaned up his
store, kept constantly in touch with
every detail of his business, and
soon he became a prosperous mer-
chant.
The lecture was one of the best ever
given in this city.

Lafayette" Suggested

Geography has not been slighted in
the selection Of names. nor has ro-
nance stood unlimited outside the
door when several offspring OF the
automobile family have been chris
tened.
The naming OF the new lafayette
Is an interesting example. Somewhere
in the memoirs OF Gen. Lafayette
is a reference to the incident which
led to the selection OF his illustrious
name for the Indianapolis-bred car
sponsored by Charles w. Nash. James

c. Howard
Back in the sunset years Of the
eighteenth century. Gen. Lafayette
visited an English family. OF which
an executive OF the Lafayette Motors
Company is a direct descendant At
the time of Gen. LaFayette's visit to
the English estate. the head of the
family was in America, and the Illus
trious guest from France took the
absent fathers place at the ceremony.
Consequently. the name OF LaFayettI
has been especially honored in this
family ever since. and was suggested
by the executive as an appropriate
name for the new company.

HEADLIGHT GLARE MENACE
PROBLEM FOR ALL PEOPLE
Solution Offered by Society of Illuminating
: Engineers Explained BY Auto Manufac-
turer-Only Two Makes Equipped.

The elimination OF the glaring
headlight. the last remaining un-
spived feature of the modern auto
mobile, Is q movement in which the
entire public as well as the automo-
bile industry, should be vitality in

Ansted, Of the Lexington Motor
Company. Connersville, Ind.
There are 100000 motor cars In
use in America. according to the
best available statistics. The aver

ELIMINATION PROCESS
FOR AUTOS PREDICTED
Keen Competition to Bring Intensive Selling
Methods, With Survival of Fittest,
Says S. M. Howe.

THE time is not so very far distant
when automobiles. priced at 5000 and
over. will have to be sold through in
tensive selling methods, because OF
the keen competition which is certain
to result" says S. NJ. How. general
sales manager of the Haynes Auto
mobile Company. For the past year
there has been a great and unusual
demand for automobiles OF all de-
scriptions. The insat able cry for de
pendable cars still exists. but the big
problem with most all of the automo-
bile factories is solely one Of produc-
ton. Almost every factory can boast
OF a roster of 1000 or more untitled
orders.
This state of affairs has brought
about something more than the fact
that automobiles are needed and want
ed by people the world over. II has
led executives to higher amb tions. II
has imbued the men who control the
output of large automobile factories
with the desire to I'LL as big a part
of this demand with their product as
they possibly can. You can pick up
almost any automobile trade paper and
read about some mammoth factory or
factory addition being started or con-
templated. The daily newspapers con-
tain similar items. There are also
many write-ups announcing new auto
mobile productions. All these things
must surely indicate future trade
monopolies and keen competition
ahead.
This year there is plenty Of room
for all. In fact. there is a demand for
great many more cars than Will be
manufactured. 1t seems that every
body wants an automobile. Today it

Is not question of selling, but one
OF Milling the demand How long is
this favorable situation going to last
Certainly there will come time when
the gap between supply and demand
VIII not be SO pronounced. When this
time comes 4 will call upon every bit
OF fesourCefulneSs that automobile
rnerchandiserS possess to influence the
car-buying classes to choose their par
tlcular cars. Intensive selling meth
DDS will consequently have to be called
into operation
Eventually the automobile busi-
ness will go through what Is called
the process Of elimination. A new
era will be reached. 1t will be the
survival of the fittest In this era
there will. of course. be found hun
rdreds OF thousands of automobile
buyers, but they will show their
preference and choose from a limited
number of kinds of automobiles.
There will be no room for the car
that was hastily designed without re-
gard for the users interest. Only the
well-known cars that have stood the
test of time will be considered bv the
astute purchaser. Countless cars will
be engulfed in this vortex Of discrim-
lhdIlon. countless cars will be elm
mated. The future success OF auto
mobiles will depend entirely on the
amount of prestige they will accumu-
late from day to day through con-
sistent performance in the hands of
owners.
ITO easily imagine what the future
OF the automobile industry will be,
one need only recall to the mind the
process of elimination experisnced by
the bicycle. the typewriter. and the
cash register business. One can
quickly count the remaining institu-
tions that control the present outputs
OF these daily necessities. The pub
lie, however. is responsible for this
situation. and rightly so because the
public invariably demands the quail
ity product. These monopolies exist
today because those large institu-
tions have demonstrated to the buy
ing public that they are better equip
ped and qualified to produce those
requirements. The many other con-
Germs which had equal opportunities
at the start failed to compete be-
cause they did not build for perma-
nence. nor did they prepare for that
inevitable time when supply meets
demand and the process of elimina-
tion follows"

ward not only reduce the light, but
do not permit OF the use Of an up

II am sure that those manufac-
turers with the best interests of the
industry and the best interests OF
the public at heart would give all the
support at their command to the
movement. as 1t is generally con-
ceded in the automobile industry
