STRIKE is RELIEF

Trade Journals Are Optimistic
and Welcome Showdown
With Labor.

mess Situation.

While the steel industry Is entirely in
muddle because OF the steel strike,
weekly trade journals take an optimistic
view OF the situation IN reviewing con-
ditions. One OF them points. out that
instead of feeling depressed about the
situation steel makers are relieved that
the showdown with labor has come. The
pig iron market has slowed down to
almost a standstill, but there has been
no material shortening of the Lake SUI
perior ore movement, 1t Is indicated.

not doubted in the trade. is counted on
to clarity the general Industrial situa-
tion. The only fear seems to be that IL
collapse does not come early the Admin
istration may attempt to force an end
prematurely.
THAT large numbers have come to
feel that the merry go round of price
and wage advances must be stopped is
indicated by a wide approval of the
policy of the mills by industrial estab-
lishments which consume steel and ap-
preciate that they would be embarrassed
II there should be a long drawn out con-
test.
Events of Monday emphasized that
the policy of the steel companies whore
a plant is seriously crippled Is to close
It down at once and allow 1t to remain
idle until 1t can be operated without
danger to lives Of employees or to- the
property.
THE effect of the strike on the Lake
Superior ore movement is not yet clear.
Lake vessels have brought down nearly
enough ore to meet requirements up TO
the opening of navigation next year. The
vetoing of the tonnage tax bill by the
Governor Of Minnesota assures the ore
trade that 1t will not be burdened in that
way for at least another year.
with the exception of the selling of
some 10000 tons of foundry grades In
Boston territory, the pig iron market
has shown almost no activity since It
became proba BILE that there would be a
strike. Not many merchant blast fur
naces have been affected by the strike.

ADVERTISING GOODS
RATHER THAN PRICES

When asked the secret of the tre-
mendous volume of business done by
the Wanamaker stores during every
holiday season for years. w. r. Hotch-
kin. formerly advertising manager for
.. w. silently opened a copy of a
December newspaper and pointed to
one of the announcements which was
spread across an entire page.
At first glance there wasn't anything
very distinctive or out-of-the- ordinary
about the copy-just long list of ar
ticles, with the price of each. Not a
word of description or a particle of
what is known as selling talk" But
the headings which read For Mother y
For Son. For Daughter" What a
Man Would Appreciate" and the like.
Under each heading appeared some
two score suggestions at prices rang
ing from fifty cents to as many dollars
In answer to objections that this use
of space merely to list few of the
items in the immense store was waste
full, the master merchant would reply
that the thing which worried most peo-
pie around Christmas was What on
earth shall I give so-and- so?" Men
particularly. have very little time in
which to shop, and those who can spare
the time do not care to wander around
without any fixed object in view. They
prefer to. have a definite goal, with al
least an approximate idea of tho
amount which their purchases viii
cost. Hence the Wanamaker lists have
proved highly successful-not only in
attracting new trade to the stores, bul
also in moving lines in certain depart
fnents. lines which are emphasized by
appearing at the head of the various
sub divisions of these shopping list:
which feature goods, rather than then
prices or quality.

on card: Il see that you advertise

Comfortable Chairs Brought Fay .
Fortune.
Many small retail merchants and
manufacturers take the stand that
/ there is a magic in success Only a
favored few attain it. The greater per
cent must be content to drudge along
on small money returns, and in lit
tie shop. Luck simply throws the dice

A few years ago Fay was a one

was almost an alley. He cleaned chairs
and did odd jobs with furnituer.
Then came an inspiration.
Said he: Il began to notice that
folks complained of never finding an
/, absolutely comfortable chair. There
was always something the matter with
them. Finally the vogue for those big
coy, snug fireside chairs arrived. But
they were all terribly expensive.
