Tricky Built District.

The district is thickly built up.
Story upon story are added to each
building until they constitute a wilder
ness of skyscrapers. The fire hazard
increases with every floor. Insurance
rates soar with the high cost of every
thing else.
Other items of this sort might be
added almost indefinitely, for all of
which Wauwatosa shoppers must help
to pay when they take their patronage
from Wauwatosa merchants where it
belongs-and carry it to the distant
city.
All the stores in the city are not like
the one described in thu foregoing.
Some are like the stores in Wauwatosa
where honest prices are charged,
where you get 100 per cent in value
and in service for every cent you
spend there. But you don't go to those
stores when you so ON shopping ex-
pedition to the city. because they are

tions are more like those in your home

Bills Tell.


Bills Tell.
Twenty steps from the high
rent district"
This identical slogan is well known
to readers OF the display advertise
ments in the papers published in a
certain large city in this country. In
substance it is well known TO the read
ers of the advertisements in any large
city. because the closer a store is TO
the center Of congestion in that city
the greater is its overhead.
Taken inversely, it is also true that
as the site is at some distance from
that center, the lower is its overhead.
other thing being equal
The rule works out with such exact.
ness that the rise or fall in this over
head can be calculated with every
pace of that distance, as the advertiser
mentioned in the foregoing has demon
strated
Where many persons are crowded
together. the cost of living is forced
up as result, The greater the con
gestion, the higher the cost To re-
lieve this congestion and make it pos
sible for the man with a moderate in
come to live in comfort and to provide
for his family adequately. there is a
centrifugal movement in every large
city from the downtown section to the
suburbs. On a larger scale. but for the
same end, there is the movement from
city to country-'back TO the farm"
or to the small town.
Damage Is Averted.
The balance is restored by the time
the movement has continued for some
time from the big city to, say Wau-
watosa. 1t is like a lightning rod that
high voltage and so keeps the storm
clouds from storing up force that
might hurl bolt earthward and
wreak great destruction.
| IT costs a huge sum to run a store
on desirable downtown corner in a
large city, and the cost for the extra
charge. is assessed upon every person
buying goods there. The site on which
the famous Flatiron building in New
York is located is a good example OF
this. Everybody wants that corner.
and the competition for its possession
has raised the price to a fabulous sum,
In the same way many a store site in
9 big city is inflated in price until it is
assessed several times its real value.
but taxes must be paid on it, inflated
value and all Every dollars worth of
