HOW TO GET TRADE.
OF BUSY FARMERS
Stanford. Conn. Pharmacy Builds
Up n Remarkable Mail Order
Business fn Rurni Sections

The West End Pharmacy. Stamford
Conn. has been extremely success
full In building up n direct mail trade
with farmers in this vicinity, because
the store management has taken the
time To find out something about the
farmers problems ald the manner in
which he conducts his business.
Although many pictures have been
painted OF the modern farmer and
his scientific methods. he is still n
man of toll. ami time is the scarccst
thing In his life. II Is only on few
occasions thatJhe Is able TO come into
town. and ,Kcn only for limited
stay. But his demands for the ncccs-
sites and Injuries of life are Just as
regular as any of the townspcoplc.
When a mail order Is received at
the West End store n clerk files IL
with all other incoming mail and
phone orders. If he has not the goods
or materials on hand he notifies the
farmer at once and specifies when he
may expect them. II he has the mcr-
chandisc wanted. he wraps IL accord
ing TO parcel post regulations. and
sends it at once. Yet this store does
all OF it's mail-order business In
spare time.
1t keeps it's accounts accurately
and renders hill to its rural Gus
toners each month. Much time is
saved by keeping data on prescrip-
tons and orders which are likely
