For some unknown reason, it is be-

is utterly absurd. Only last night
one. Of the best known business men

International Falls to Bemidji and

Naturally, some parts of the road
compel slower driving than others,

STATE AUTO LICENSE
INSPECTOR IS COMING

Jitney drivers and those whose
business is that of professional
chauffeur had better brush up on
what they need to know to obtain a
state license, which allows them to
legally run a car in their business.
Not one of about 40 such in Bemidji
have any license to operate a kusi-
ness car and this is according to w.
O. Larson, who is a state license in
spector, headquarters in St. Paul.
The inspector has written Chief
Essler that he will be in Bemidji soon
and take a look at those who haven't
licenses, also at those who have or-
solete auto numbers and those who
haven't any numbers on their cars.

Several merchants accepted the IN
vitation of F. P. Mann, president OF
the Retail Merchants association OF
North Dakota, and also president or
the Federated associations of the
state. to be in the Elk club rooms
Wednesday night and hear him speak
on the promotion end of business
institution, in which Mr.. Mann mar
rated how in 1891 he had been trust
ed by wholesale grocery for $1,000
worth of groceries; with which he
started in business, the now depart
ment store doing 100000 worth OF
business last year, while this year 1t
is. expected $4vO,O00 worth Of busi-
ness will be done. This is Devils
Lake, N. D.
And the secret of the big stores
success is ADV ERTIS1NG and PUB
L1C1TY as he asserted.
How It's Done.
The building occupied by the Mann
brothers, is large three-story struc-
ture and contains departments in
hardware, drygoods, crockery, gro
ceries and clothing, each in charge
of an experienced manager. In the
various Zines, the manufacturers fire.
uuently send out fully illustrated de-
scriptive advertising matter to the
store and these are mailed with
personal letter to a list of $500 GUS
toners. Special sales are frequently
held, something new in each, and
when these are staged the farmers
are notified by letter, wnlle in the
newspapers are run double page and
page advertising. A point in illus
tration is that special silk sale
brought in over 81 1000 in one week.
Policy of Honesty.
The Mann store has policy OF
homes If boys suit doesn't wear
as it should, new one is subst1tu-
ted. The store does a large business
in fur goods and if an expensive fur
coat should happen to burst. as they
frequently do, it is always repaired
and made good by the store. The
policy is carried out in every detail
of the business.
Combat Mil Order.
AIR. Mann also told how they met
the insiduous methods Of the big
mail order houses. He secures cata-
logue and meets every price. He
showed his hearers a gaudy red and
black typed bill from one Of these
houses, where sugar was offered for
5 cents per pound. But there were
other articles that had to be Tpur'
chased to obtain the sugar af-ehis
low price, and many of the other ara
ticle5 were charged for at exhorbi-
ant prices, so the total amount paid
by the deluded customer was more by
far than if he had traded at home.
Advertise" Mann Slopan.
Mr.. Mann urged the merchants tc
use generous space in the newspapers
CT their town. He urged that nc
matter how good the stock or the heW
goods arriving that people would pas:
the store, for no effort had been made
to attract their attention to wha1
