MERCHANTS MUST
BUILD 4DACkFlRE"
Can Beat Mail Order Houses at
Their Own Game If They
Win Do 1t.
ADVERTISING ONLY WEAPON
Catalogue Concerns Spend Hundreds
Of Thousands of Dollars Annually
to Create Demand for Their
Merchandise.

Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
The forest ranger and the prairie
farmer have learned that they must
fight with fire. They know that when
the all-consuming forest or prairie fires
are sweeping toward them their only
hope of safety lies in the "back-fire."
By kindling and carefully controlling
a fire of their own they force the big
ger fire to burn itself out, finding no
further fuel on which to feed.
The merchants of the small cities
and towns are learning that in waging
their fight for existence they must
adopt the tactics Of the men of the
West. The great mail order houses
of the cities are the consuming flames
which threaten to wipe out the retail
merchants of the small towns unless
the latter, realizing their danger, take
steps to remove the menace. The re-
tail merchants, as whole, are begin
ming to realize that they must fight
fire with fire and that to save them
selves they must build a back fire.
Advertising is the weapon with
which the mail order houses conduct
their warfare on the retail merchants
of the small cities and towns. The
mail order houses do their advertising
through their own catalogues and
through certain publications which are
known as mail order advertising me-
diums. A big mail order house spends
hundreds of thousands of dollars mere
ly on the preparation and publication
of its bulky catalogues.
Business Built Upon Advertising.
The catalogue houses also spend
thousands upon thousands of dollars
in advertising in the mail order pubi-
cations which look for their circula-
ton to the people of the small towns
and the rural districts. Advertising in
some of these mediums costs as much
as from $40 to $50 for a single inch,
yet the mail order houses find it profit
able to pay these high rates. Their
business is built upon advertising and
if they were denied the use of the
mails for their advertising for single
month their business would be de-
stroyed.

SUGGEST TREES AS
WAR MEMORIAL
KIWANIS CLUB APPOINTS
COMMITTEE ON NEW
PROJECT

The primary matter of interest at
the Kiwanis club luncheon last Mon
day at the Bells Hotel, was discus
sion of a fitting memorial to the men
of Wausau and Marathon county who
served their country during the world
war. Kiwanis were heartily in favor
OF project which involves the plant
ing of some 1000 trees along the
highway between Wausau and Roths-
child, to create a Memorial drive,
VIII Investigate
A committee consisting of Harold e.
Damon, DR.. r. W. ones and Louis c..
Leak has been appointed by c. T..
Parker, president, to investigate the
project and to make a report at flu
ture luncheon.
Newman H. Bells, lieutenant dur
ing the war who saw service in
France, and who is member Of the
KiWanis club, made the suggestion.
1t was proposed that elm trees be
planted, and no other makes more
beautiful shade tree in this part of
the country. According to one of the
prominent members Of the Kiwanis
club, some 500 trees might be planted
by members of that organization
alone, and it is felt that a move so de-
sirable would be assisted by many
other individuals and clubs, who
would likewise take care of the
planting of a number Of trees.
Cost Considerable
The cost of perfecting such drive
would be considerable, and members
of the Kiwanis club We're doubtful
whether their organization could take
care of the proposition alone.
A La Crosse Kiwanian, Sam Hyde,
spoke for a few minutes upon being
introduced. Mr.. Hyde is here with
large exhibit of Hereford cattle that
he is showing at the fair. He told the
1t is his third year here on
similar missions and that the man
agement of the Marathon county fair
had adopted the best policy toward
of any of the fairs he has
made. He was enthusiastic about the
local fair and told the Kiwanians they
had every reason for backing the
officers in making ii bigger fair.
The members of the club were then
treated to a musical selection from
Faust on the mandolin by d. A. Cald-
well, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce.

i In advertising, the local merchants
find the only weapon with which they
can beat the mail order houses at their
own game. This does not mean neces-
sarily, only newspaper advertising, al
though that is the big gun in the bat
terry employed by the successful mer-
chant in his battle for trade. Adver-
tising is big word and it covers big
field. There is no longer to be found
the man who does not believe in adj
yertising. Every merchant believes in
of display in a show window is adj
vertising. The only difference between
that kind of advertising and advertis-
ing in a newspaper is that where the
one reaches dozens the other reaches
hundreds. Attractive window displays
are, of course, an important adjunct of
any retail store. They serve their pur-
pose but this purpose is only to attract
the attention of those who may be
passing by the store. There are other
forms of advertising, such as personal
solicitation, but printed matter must
always continue to be the chief reli-
ance of merchants in attracting Gus
toners to their stores.
Advertising Begets Confidence.
The buying public has learned that
the store which takes the people into
its confidence through it's advertising
is the one in which it may expect to
get the best bargains and the most sat
isfactory treatment. 1t knows that the
store which advertises consistently and
regularly has the best and most up-to-
date stocks because this store sells its
goods more rapidly than the one which
does not advertise and, therefore, is
not forced to carry over old stock from
one season to another. The public
knows that the store which advertises
can place lower prices on its goods be-
cause it turns over it's stock oftener
than the store which does not adver-
tise and therefore does not have it's
capital tied up in slow-moving mer-
chandise.
The mail order house does not get
it's business by merely letting the pub
lie know that it has dry goods or hard
ware or groceries or some other COM
modify to sell. 1t creates a demand
for it's goods by placing in its catalogue
attractive pictures and detailed de-
scriptions of the articles which it has
to sell. The lure of the mail order
catalogue lies in the fact that the
merits, or alleged merits, of the mer-
chandise offered are placed before the
prospective purchaser in the most
graphic manner. The local retail mer-
chant has the~same opportunity to do
this that the mail order house has and
can Go it much more effectively than
the mail order house can. The retail
merchant can talk to the people Of his
community through his home newspa-
per and that is something which the
mail order houses as rule cannot do,
for the local newspapers through a
sense of loyalty to their communities
and their home merchants will not ac-
cept, the advertising with which the
mail order houses would flood them if
they had the opportunity.
