BUSINESS MEN
TO SEE FILM ON
TRADE TROUBLES

Every successful merchant in bust
ness at the present time is utilizing
every means possible to help him adj
vance and build up better trade.
Realizing this, Joseph Perkins, secre
tary of the Retail Merchants associa-
ton, has secured one of the most in
structive educational moving pictures
ever put on the screen, entitled
''The Troubles of Merchant and How
shown at the High school auditorium
on Monday night, April IA, at 8
O'Clock.
The film is a three-reel Essanay fea-
ture and is brim full of ideas relating
to retail business. 1t shows an old
style store building, high windows pre-
venting a good display of goods, bad
arrangement of stock, lack of proper
management and no system, which
makes the clerks indifferent-result
ing in the proprietor almost becoming
a failure The scene changes, however,
when the merchant concludes to adopt
systematic store tages on an attract
i've appearance, goods are displayed
so they will attract the attention Of
the customer, the clerks become more
valuable through courteous and
prompt attention to the trade-in fact
there is such a transformation that
new customers are attracted to the
store, and the merchant again be-
comes prosperous.
r. H. Kennedy will lecture with the
pictures. By aid of stereopticon slides
he will deal with the following sub
jects:
Retail Failures and Their Causes;
Store Organization; Newspaper Adver-
Using; Window Display; Clerks Eff
cheney; Selling Meenods; Credit Bust
ness; System in Retail Business.
This lecture was secured through
the courtesy of the National Cash
Register Company, of Dayton, Ohio.

dation from business organizations

'Nakomis" is presented here by the
Wesleyan Glee club on the night OF
April "a. The club comes under the
