With Other Editors
TOWNS THAT ARE WORKED
BY MAIL ORDER HOUSE,

| Do you know why the big cata-
logue houses select certain localities
with literature?
Have you any idea as to why they
would select your particular locality
Or why they wouldn's select it?
The answer is as simple as A B c.
according to Norman Rosenfield, adj
vertising manager of Sears Robuck
and Company.
They employ bureau to read ev-
cry week the country newspapers
all over the United States. There is
not paper of any consequence in
the entire country that this bureau
does not get. Now why do they dc
lit?
The bureau looks over all these
newspapers carefully and whenever
they find town where the mer-
chants are not advertising to any
great extent, in their local paper,
they Immediately flood the territory
with their literature.
Mr.. Rosinfeld goes on record as
saying that the results in territories
where the local merchants are not
advertisers are far greater than
those obtained by the same effort
put forth in territories where mer-
chants are advertisers.
Now, is this is true, and Mr.. Ro-
senfield certainly is in the position
Of one who ought to know, it pre-
sents an acceptable argument in ia
vor of retailers advertising in their
local newspapers. Doesn't it sound
reasonable?
There is no question but what the
mail order Bugaboo has long been a
thorn in the side of the legitimate
retail business, and if Sears, Robuck
and Co. follow the plan as above
described, it is only to presume that
the other mail order houses get their
information in like manner.
AS we look at it, Mr.. Roseefeld
virtually tells retailers of the coun-
try that the only way that they can
combat the mail order houses is for
them to advertise and advertise reg
ularly.
Now we pass this information on
for what it is worth, and we believe
it ought to be worth a great deal. If
you are a merchant that does not
know how to use newspaper advertis-
ing it is high time you found out.
The best way to find out is to look
over the advertising of retail drug
firms in the metropolitan cities and
medium sized cities. You will see
the advertising in these papers de-
signed and written by experts. You

ace and a nuisance. When fooling
around the mechanism Of the Tin
Lizzie it is almost certain to drip in
the grease, or it may be that it will
catch in the machinery and endan-

Furthermore, when the weather
becomes warm the bow tie looks
cooler. 1t gives full opportunity for
the breezes to play over the embon-
point. 1t looks somewhat pert and
saucy, perhaps, compared with its
more dignified cousin, and for this
reason may not be favored by the
more conservative person, but for
the vestless days it has its decided
advantages.
Of course down in this June-land
the battle of the ties does not take
place. Onl ypeople who have some
dignity of position to maintain,
which seems to demand the discom-
fort of vest, ever wear the things

tie is on in the north. About this
time of year the men emerge from
their winter seclusion behind that
queer piece of wearing apparel
known as the vest, and find them
selves at the mercy Of the long,
flowing four-in-hand ties which have
been snugly held down during the
winter, but which begin to fly in the
spring breezes to the great discom-
future of their wearers.
With the annual shedding of the
vest, for whichc there is no earthly
excuse, anyhow, the bow, or batwing
tie comes into it's own. When the
vest is no longer available to hold
the horizontal tie in place, and the
