81 . cents as formerly cost him 10
cents So he reduced his selling
price from 90 20 Is cents, and the
dealer reduced his from 80 TO %

YOU will see that the manufacturer
now made 40 per cent. on his turn

Naturally. the two other firms
coulden't compete on price, 40 they
went out Of business. The dealer
found that he only had to tie up one
third as much capital TO stock the
one brand as he used 10 tie up TO
carry the three makes on the shelves.
Now Who paid for the adver-
Using?
Did the manufacturer? II you
say yes" how do you account for
the fact that he reduced his selling
price cents per trap and still in
creased his gross profit, or margin
from % per cent. to 40 per cent?
Did the dealer pay for IL? II you
think so, how do you reconcile your
opinion with the fact that he re-
duced his selling price from 30 TO
25 cents and increased his margin
from 33 l-3 per cent TO 40 per
cent?
Did the consumer pay for II?
Obviously not. for he now got as
good a trap for % cents as he used
70 get for 30 cents.
II looks like a case Of money

close. however, we will find that the

Using were the two manufacturers

Of mice in that town remained Just
about the same, and 80 also did the
number of traps sold per year. But
every time either Of these firms lost
an account IL went TO the manu-
facturer who advertised. This
steady Increase in business enabled
him to buy cheaper because he
bought his raw materials in larger
auantities), TO manufacture cheaper
because Of better machinery,
standardized methods. etc and to
sell cheaper (heeause each salesman

A STORY OF THE
THREE MOUSE TRAPS

Il However, the next time that
anyone tries to String you along
with that old chestnut about his line
selling cheaper because his firm does
not spend a lot Of money in adver-
Using, Just remember the story OF
the three mouse traps.
In certain town three firms were
manufacturing mouse traps. Their
manufacturing costs were Just about
the same and they each did about
an equal amount Of business.
The traps cost Is cents to make (;
sold 10 the dealer at 20 cents. and
were sold 10 the customer at 80
cents. Each manufacturer made 5
cents per trap or 25 per cent Margin
on his selling price. Each dealer
made 10 cents, or 80 i-3 per cent.
margin. Each dealer carried all
three traps. for there was about an
equal demand for each.
One day one manufacturer made
up his mind to spend one cent per
trap in advertising This reduced
his profit 10 { cents per trap. He
did not advance his prices. and
neither did the dealers.
He started his advertising and
kept il up for two years During
this time the other two manufactur-
ers kept on taking thier 5 cents
profit per trap and quietly laughed
AZ the poor advertiser.
During the second year. however,
= popular demand seemed to arise
FOR this advertised trap. The manu-
facturer actually found demand get
ting ahead Of production. In seek

new machinery and found out that

What Does Living" Mean

TIFE means all things to all men. Each

poem Living" in the current Cosmopolitan.
Mr. Guest, though long favorite of the

ARIEL FONTENOT
OFFERED GOOD JOB
Chief Assistant Tax CaIIectOr
rendered Position by State
Auditor Mcfarland

Ariel Fontenot, chief deputy tax
collector of st. Landry parish, has
been rendered a position as travelling
auditor with the state auditor Of pub
lie accounts office, and in all proba-
bilities viii accept it as soon as the
rush at the tax office passes off.
Mr.. Fontenot's work has repeatedly
been complimented by State Auditor
Mcfarland and on several occasions
the state auditor has made flattering
offers to the st. Landry man. The
st. Landry tax office, since the Fon-
tenot administration, has been recog-
nized os one of the most efficiently
conducted tax collectors offices in
Louisiana, and naturally the credit
went where it was due-to the chief
deputy. who has. succeeded in putting
the st. Landry Office at the very front
rank of the vel conducted public Of
fices in this state
/. Had Mr.. Fontenot been able to get
relieved, he would have accepted the
position, it is understood. Since the
January election he has been offered
several very attractive positions and
really has been at a loss which to ac-
cept. In all probability, however, he
will take the Baton Rouge job.

Si FAIR
COMING EVENT
Festivity at St. Charles Sunday
Week Sure to Be q Great
Financial Success

Enthusiasm is ripe in the parish of
st. Landry, as also in the surrounding
parishes, over the splendid fair that
is to be given at St. Charles College
on Sunday, April IL. Scores Of peo-
pie have written to the college to say
that they viii be present to share the
festivities Of the day. Quite a num-
Der of prominent persons have done
more than this. They have wished to
identify themselves with the social
entertainment that the faculty and
student body will hold on the Sunday
after Easter and have declared them
selves patrons Of the fair, each doing
something to make the day Of pleas
ure greater success.
0pelousas. with a natural local
pride in the college that is so closely
connected with it, both in position
and in common interests, has highly
endorsed the plan Of the fair and its
citizens are contributing generously
towards conducting the day Of enter
tainment on as large a scale as pos
sible. The number Of Opelousas pat
rons is steadily increasing, for the
leading citizens of the city realize that
the greater success of the college
means the greater prominence Of Ope-
lonsas.
In Grand Coteau and Sunset, en-
thusiasm over the fair is at its high
est pitch. The activities Of sstheir
college" as the citizens Of these
two towns style st. Charles College,
are necessarily part of their own life,
and the loyal support that they are
giving the fair shows that they do
not intend for it to be anything but
the greatest success.
