Mail Order 'Conpets'

We call our readers attention to
cry interesting and logical editorit
, this months National Groce
Us good advice. Here 1t is:
The way the catalog houses
get people in your city to send
them orders is by asking them
for their business. II the mail
orders are larger than the orders
from the local grocers, 1t is be-
cause the mail order houses are
better at asking for business.
Whether the mali order COM
petition that effects you is the
cheap sort or that OF a high
class house in a larger city, II
is to be met by asking people to
buy from you. by asking them
for their orders.
You cannot get out big cata-
logs like the mail order houses,
but you do not need to do so.
Those catalogs. even the groc-
cry sections, contain endless
items that are of little or no in
terest to your patrons. Those
catalog have Ito be made to cover
the whole country. You can
concentrate your asking upon
the comparatively limited num-
ber of items that are OF immed-
late live interest to your trade.
Ask your people for their
business by advertising to them
constantly. You can reach
them every week, perhaps every
day. in local newspapers or by
means of circulars or letters.
Don't get up one advertise
ment and send 1t out and stop
and wait for returns. AS soon
as one piece goes out forget a
bout 1t and get another ready.
Keep them going all the time,
flight after flight, and the mail
order house with be forgotten
because you are asking for trade
so persistently and diligently
that when there is need of your
goods, the buyers mind un-
avoidably turns your way.
II asking peopro to buy is the
secret of success of the mail or
der houses. there is no reason
why they should have any ad-
vantage over you who are right
there on the ground, where you
can keep in close touch with
your public and ask them in yer-
son and in other ways not open
Ito the big catalog house. Cat
alog houses work no mircles.
You really have nothing to fear
in their competition. even tho
they under sell you ina few in
stances.

men, The English army, under the treaty, will occupy German territory for fve years, and the French army will oc- cupy German territory fifteen years. In the event the allies should conclude that Germany has violated the treaty in any of its parts, the time of occupation may be indefinitely extended.
 If it costs s1, ,200.0O0 per day to maintain the American army, and a like sum TO maintain the British army, which is prae- tically of even strength with the Ameri- can army, and three times that sum to maintain the French army, thrice as strong as either the American or the English, the total burden of Germany for this single item, will approximate s10,0O0 900 per day. A German mark at present is valued at 1.9 cents. This fact
 would tend to indicate Germany's ina
 bility to meet it's obligation since the value of it's money is practically nil. Some members of Congress think, that Germany will be in servitude for all ages | to come They do not grieve on that score Nevertheless, they are oppressed | by the fact that in all probability the cost of the United States army will be
 more than s1 ,0O0,00O per day for years and years, and that this burden must bt borne by the United tSates; whereas England and France will force Germany
