SMILE, SMILE, SMILE
AT YOUR CUSTOMERS

Will II. Farley, business lecturer.
las this to say to salespeople:
Treat a customer as you would a
guest in your home. If you maintain
this attitude toward the buyer you can't
go wrong. Remember, it is not the man
who hands you the pay envelope who Is
your boss, but the customer in your
establishment He is the one who
supplies your money and it should be
your chief aim to cater to this person.
'The things that are bothering the
merchant today more than general
conditions are laZineSs. careleSsness,
mistakes and indifference. Through
these leaks the losses to his profits
result
'Smile all the WHILE" he advises the
snlespeople. "Ninety per cent of our
shoppers today are women, and 60 per
cent of the merchandise used by men
is purchased by them. Why? For the
simple reason that red bloOded man
has found he cant go into store and
confront the attitude of many sales
people without desiring to, scrap. The
men know, what they want when they
want it. Men are better customers
than women. Smile, girls, smile, and
get them back into the stores.
Newspaper advertising is the one
means by which you can carry your
message direct to the homes. Make
your ads plain, simple; be honest in
your statements and see that your
copy is changed regularly. a news.
paper is read in its entirety in most
homes. The paper folks wouldn't
think of running the same news four
o. five days in succeSSiOn-yOur posi-
ton as an advertiser is just the same.
Every store owner would like to
pay his help more. hut volume is a
necessary requisite to that end. and
it can be obtained quicker and cheaper
through service than in any other way"

Reports from Camp Roosevelt, the

near MuskegOn, Michigan. are to the
effect that it is the biggest year since
the camp was inaugured in 1919. The
hot weather has made the long, sandy
bathing beach one of the wonder spots
Of the camp, and the boys are rapidly
acquiring healthy coat of tan. The
shady woods, with their deep ravines
and cool hooks, invite those boys who
DO not take so kindly to the water.
The rifle range, one of the finest in
the country, is we'll equipped for thor
0ugh instruction in expert firing. A
corps Of skilled instructors are ready

is that, while several hundred boys are

BUY AT HOME.

y = -
1t is claimed by what seems reliable
authority that the apparent unwilling
ness of the large mail order houses to
lose on the immense stores of merchan-
disc carried by them has brought about
q big decrease in their sales during the
last few mOnths-monthly losses in
sales running from $5,OOO,OOO to $15,-
600, 600. The decreases amount to more
than 80 per cent Of the usual values Of
business. One Of the largest mail or
der houses had total sales in February
1921, Of about $l4,OOO,OOO as compared
with $2S,OOO,OOO in February, 1920.
Another had sales in February, 1921,
of approximately $5.5OO,OOO as compared
with over $11OOO,0OO during February,
1921. This condition is general The
time has come when people should see
the advantages of supporting home
business enterprises, not only for the
interest Of the individual, but for the
good of the community at large.
The welfare of the community is
largely dependent upon the success of
its merchants and the prosperity of
its population. 1t is well known fact
that mail order houses pay no taxes
except in cities where they have their
headquarters, or own property. They
&c little or nothing toward assisting
numerous movements promulgated from
time to time for community betterment;
they build no roads; they contribute
rothing to schools, libraries, churches
or any Of the other activities which
make our community worth living in.
The volume of business lost by mail
order houses indicated that the con-
fidence of the public may be shifting to
the retail merchant where it belongs.
The home retail merchant has, as
rule, been fair; has labored faithfully
to serve efficiently, and has worked for
only fair margin of profit. The pub
lie should show its appreciation Of the
fact that town merchants are supply
ing goods at fair and honest prices by
them instead of sending
away from home.

A Joyous Time.

You who are accustomed to rising
before or with the sun, the early
morning hour is the finest time of the
day. 1t has a rich quality that no
other hour owns. 1t is then that the
new day is received fresh from the
creator, keen-cut and sparkling as a
jewel. The early morning has still
ness, freshness, sweetness and
fragrance that are all its own. To know
what beauty is one must be up before
sunrise and witness the slow and
stately approach of the day, the wonder
full shifting of cOlOrs in the east and
the splendid sun itself as it energies.
At no time do birds sing so earnest
~ and jOyOusly as in the morning. We
do not all react to the sights and sounds
Of nature alike but it is a sad-hearted
and mighty mOrOSe citizen who can't
feel some sort of inspiration by watch
ing the wonderful sight of rising sun.
We have reached the hot summer
months when fellow likes to get every
minute of sleep that he feels Is coming
tc him. And we don't blame him. But
if you will inquire of the men who rise
early you'll quickly find out that it is
a good remedy for being able to sleep
sOundly. They go through the whole
Gay feeling fit and fine, and when dark
ness comes sleep comes as naturally as
could have been expected.
Don't take anyone's word for. it,
hut get in the habit Of early rising
" urself and see il it doesn't benefit
you. Hard as it may be at first to
accustOm yourself to sacrificing whole
hour Of sleep in the morning we honest
~ believe you will find it paying in
yestment. Just glancing ut our healthy
friends from the rural communities who
have always been early risers, we are
quite sure you can do the same thing
with profit

A Big Idea!

If the next big war is to create some

and swiftest way to break into the mil

birds for airplane chasing. A news
dispatch of recent date states that an
a,rman down in South America who
few from Lima to Cuzco, a distance Of
700 miles, was pursued by condor the
entire distance and when the airplane
lad reached it's destination and was
preparing to descend, the big bird was
close in on it, apparently preparing to
attack it. The condor is a native of
South America, where it is found in
the regions of the Andes, and Is often
seen on the Pacific coast during the
rainy season. However, it's favorite
haunts are elevations OF 10000 to 10000
feet The condor is a huge bird. 1t
treasures four feet from the point of
the beak to end Of tail, and nine feet
between tips Of wings. 1t is a giant
among birds and Is very swift on the
wing and as agile as kingfisher. The
