which he disposed of clothing at cost
plus overhead and took no profit, al
lowing his books to be audited by a
disinterested committee.
And out of it he built public con-
fidence in his store and its policy.
More men traded with him. BY in
creasing his volume of clothing sales,
thru reductions, he boosted his sales of
furnishings on which price reductions
were not heavy.
Turnout the war period Voiland ad-
vertised heavily. In his editorials he
predicted the increase in prices long
before they came and advised the pub
lie to buy. Many men did buy and
thanked him for the advice later.
When prices eached the peak Voiland
urged his customers to buy only what
they had to have. By this time they
were following his advice. Then the
market broke and when it did Voiland
got the business of the men who had
postponed. at his suggestion, the buy
ing of a new suit.
Ads Will Sell Anything.
Voiland believes advertising will ac-
complish most anything. Once he de-
cided to sell overcoats in June. The
not be done and he didn't want to
guarantee results. Voiland told him
he didn't want a guarantee.
He went ahead with his plan. Over
coats were placed on sale and well ad-
vertised. The ads explained that Vol
land was selling overcoats in the sum-
mer because he felt that prices would
be higher in the fall and he wanted
to give his customers a chance to get
fitted out before the hike came. The
coats sold. Voiland cleaned out his
stock and got his profit. In the fall
in prices. He didn't get spectators
markup but he didn't need it for he
had a double turnover.
Trust in Newspapers.
Six years ago Voiland was not es-
pecially well known. Today he is the
most prominent clothier in Topeka.
Six years ago his store was on the
North side. Today it is in the heart
of the busiest retail section of the city.
In a location where other clothing
firms have gone into bankruptcy, Vol
land has achieved a sensational sue
cess. And newspaper advertising has
done it-multiplied volume thirty
times since Voiland began using it
twelve years ago
tisements are taboo with Voiland. He
docs not believe they pull. Movies, he
says, get bad faction, because they
delay the theater patron in seeing the
picture which drew him there and for
which he paid a fee to view.
Voiland says billboards can reach
only a limited number of persons,
those habitually passing along a GER
tain street. and that the number of
transients passing by any given loca-
ton, especially of the main bushes
streets, is negligible.
So, out of a very satisfying expert
ence. Voiland has placed his entire
trust in newspaper advertising. He
uses nothing else. He says he never
will so long as he remains in the re-
tail game. He is fully convinced that
advertising will do for him in the
next twelve years as much or more
than it has done for him during the
twelve years Just passed.

There are more ways than one of

man was cited for meritorious conduct
this month because he set successful
mouse traps in passenger cars on his
run, and eXterminated the mice.
A New Contest Planned.
Now the Rock Island Magazine has
announced a new contest. 1t isn't a
contest in seeing who can run an en-
CINE the greatest distance on the least
coal, or who can beguile the greatest
number of passengers into buying
their tickets via the Rock Island, or
who stcan load the most cars with
freight in the least time, or anything
like that
It's contest in chicken raising and
egg producing. q
The magazine recently closed it's
pretty girl contest, and has now turned
its attention to chickens with feathers.
The interest of the Rock Island maya

very extensively toward chickens of
pretty nearly all the types there are.
