Fred Mann Tells Cleveland Merchants
How He Built Business

dippy at last. That kind of a store
will scare the farmers away"
"But the farmers are just as proud
of that store as we are. We had a
rest room for women-a thing un-
known before in that part Of the
county-had a lutte booth where
we served coffee free on Saturday
afternoon, and when we have spe-
cial occasion, like fall or spring OPP
ening, we have some music, just to
create friendly feeling and show
the folks we are glad to be able to
entertain them.
"The weekly paper became daily,
but it had only 1000 circulation, so
to make certain We could get the
effects, we wanted, we bought our
own type. When our advertisements
have been printed in the paper we
leave the type standing and print
them again on sheet which we mail
to all farmers"
Mann uses a distinctive label on
all MS Snoe boxes, publishes a store
magazine, mails personal letters to
the women when he thinks he has
something in stock they would be
interested in, and during the war he
published all the national airs in
pamphlet form, with only his store
name in small letters by way of adj
vertising, and distributed them
among the school children of sur
rounding counties.
When Mann was elected president
of the North Dakota Retail Mer-
chants Association in 1917 he made
a survey to find out why third of
the business of the state was going
to mail order houses. His survey he
said, showed that only 10 per cent of
the merchants were live advertisers.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-01-20

Cleveland, O., Jan. 14.-Some nov
ed methods of advertising were de-
scribed by Fred P. Mann, of Devils
Lake, N. D., in explaining to the
Cleveland Garment Manufacturers
Association how he enlarged his bus
mess in a town of 5000 inhabitants
to one approaching three quarters OF
a million dollars annually.
Every time a good soaking rain
follows a long dry spell he writes let
tiers of congratulations to all farmers
within a radius Of as miles of Devils
Lake, he said.
Every time he gets in new line
of baseball gloves and bats he sends
letters to all the small boys for miles
around telling them about it.
81 started in business with a 1000
stock of groceries bought on credit, y
Mr.. Mann said. 81 borrowed $50 from
my father with which to pay the
freight.
"a few days after went into bus
mess newspaper friend of mine in
duced me to try little live adver-
Using. So we framed little ad
which ran nthe first page of the
weekly paper. The other merchants
of the town also advertised but their
ads were limited to an announcement
of "Our Spring Line is in" which
stood in type week after week until
fall came around, when fall line was
substituted for Spring line
''That first year we did $8,4OO
grocery business. Gradually we be-
gan adding other lines. In 1907 we
built one of the finest stores in the
northwest. 1t cost $4,000 and we
spent $4,000 more for fixtures.
"It's too bad,' everybody said.
Mann is a nice fellow but he's gone
