Beating Prices Down

A speaker from Seattle. Wash
suggested at the recent conference
of governors and mayors at Wash,
ington, D. C, that the mayors of
cities make an effort to reduce the
prices of necessaries of life. He
suggested that they call in their
home merchants and ask them to
take steps to get prices reduced all
around.
This is something along the line
of a movement started recently by
the Flint, Mich, Board of Com
merce. They called together $50
retailers of that city, and got them
to agree to reduce prices AS re-
suit some of them must have done
business at a loss. But they report
an increased trade, which they feel
will help develop a broader business
for the future.
1t is a question whether retail
merchants should be asked to take
such step before producers and
wholesalers reduce prices. Retail
trade is being conducted on a mar
row margin of profit. closer thar
ever before
But at least the retail trade
should stand together 10 a determin.
ed effort to persuade producers and
jobbers to come off their high perch
Merchants may we'll give salesmen
to understand that the present high
prices produce suffering and tend tC
upset business. Producers anC
wholesalers would much better bs
content with small profits, rather
than bring on a business depression
The wholesale trade frequently
gets the idea that it practically
Monroe City Democrat., 1919-06-06

Sooner or later some settlement
of this question will have to be
reached. The transportation system
is notoriously inadequate. The
country has grown rapidly. the de-
mand for food products has grown
much faster. Yet the railroads are
practically where they were 10 years
ago Either the government will
have to take hold and build the
needed facilities, or means will have
to be taken to induce private capi-
tai to undertake the needed con-
struction.
Meanwhile as has often been re-
marked, a good substitute for a
railroad is a line of motor trucks
circulating about the country dis
tricts. These should radiate into
the surrounding districts from every
center of farm country. and such
services are fast being established
in many localities.
Monroe City Democrat., 1919-06-06
Value of Reputation

II is amazing how business rep
utation will last once it becomes
thoroughly established. A man
walked into drug store the other
day and bought a cake of shaving
soap. He remarked aftarward that
it had just the same familiar trade
name as the first cake he ever
bought for his downy beard thirty
years before During that time no
doubt hundreds of rivals had tried
to get a foothold But the estab'
.lished line. if kept up and we'll push
ed, will hold its line against a field
of competitors a long time
In most cases where some noted
article has maintained its hold that
way for a period of years, it will
almost invariably be found to have
been accomplished by a consistent
policy of advertising, If you make
no special effort to push an article,
it will gradually fade out of the
stores. But the established lines
figure on a certain percentage of
publicity every year and they know
they have to keep it up.
A good will of that kind has such
a tremendous cumulative value,
showing better returns constantly
for a given amount of publicity
work, that the returns of publicity
should not be figured merely on the
results shown in the first years OF
promotion. The owner of the propo-
sition should be satisfied for few
years with moderate return, il
he is building up a business that
by and by is going to become g
permanent possession.
The same policy applies both tc
nationally advertised goods. and tC
a retail store. The returns from
efforts to increase sales, and in par
ticular of newspaper publicity, are
not to be measured. as some mer
chants think, with the sales tina
come in from day to day as the par
ticular notice of that date is read
For every sale made immediatel!
as a result Of advertising, man!

A watch that stopped on NJ Mans
Land in France at 2:S0 p, IN. October
2, while its owner lay with both legs

the deadly shrapnel of the enemy.
The watch was given to Guy Reed,
another Monroe County boy, who
lay by the side of Power. also badly
wounded, but who recovered Pow

TRANSFORMATION Problems

Many authorities on country life
say that the one great obstacle to
rural proareSs is the inadeQuacy of
rural transportation. They assert
that a great increase in railro ad
facilities is needed, including elec
trio lines. They plead for the con.
struction of many thousands of
miles of steam. and electric branch
lines, out into the country districts
not conveniently situated to rail
roads.
Yet how are you going To get
that increase of transportation?
The building of railroads and cleo
trio lines has nearly stopped, Peo.
pie who have had money to invest
were not satisfied with the rates
established by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which they be-
lieved insufficient to make the Sc.
curities of these roads as safe as
other investments. They do not
know what rates will be established
when the roads return to private
control.
Hence it has been difficult to Sc.
cure funds for new railroads EIec-
trio lines are in particular disfavor
with investors, as a great many OF
these roads have gone into the
hands of receivers. Their expenses
have enormously increased, and il
is not possible to raise the rates tC

Removing Poverty

Accidents that cripple a person
for life cause poverty in many
families. The number of injuries
in mills. mines, and on railroads
has been appalling. Twelve years
ago, out of each 1000 men employ
ed in the iron and steel business,
242 were killed or injured. That
number has been greatly reduced
since then by an accident preven-
ton campaign But it is still un.
reasonably large
While the workmen's compensa-
tion system offers the injured ma q
