Our Oyercrowded Retail Trades


Recently published statistics state
that there Is one grocery store for
every 800 persons throughout the
United States The same piece re-
lates that there is u shoe store for
every $50 people, one mems furnish
ing store for every 200, one hard
ware store for every $500 and one
dry goods store for every 5000 OF our
population. Investigation of Show
hegan's retail district is interesting
in connection with the above. In
the following statistics are included
also the professions and manufaetur-
ers to certain extent. Most of this
information is gathered from the
Maine Register. 1t is defective in
some respects. Fer example In
speaking of Cigars and Tobacco" on
~ three are listed, When 1t is well
known that there are at least doZ-
en- places selling these articles, altho
perhaps there are only three or pos
sibly none at all devoted exclusively
to retailing cigars and tobacco. 1t
would be quite To the advantage of
any line or business to make certain
that an enumeration of establish
ments be made as high as the truth
would warrant 70 illustrate: Four
teen grocery stores only are given in
the Maine Register. There are GER
tainly more places than that where
groceries in considerable quantities
are sold. 4 man in Houlton, fer in
stance, thinking of locating in the
grocery trade somewhere and depend
ing upon the Maine Register for in
formation might reason that ii there
were only fourteen groceries in Show
hogan this would be good place to
come.
The Reporter is anxious to list cor
rectly all Of the retail trades, not
alone for the sake Of general inter-
est but for the considerations men
toned above. It Is therefore sug-
gested that each trade mail or bring
to this Office list Of all the places
dealing IN goods or furnishing SER
vice in its line. II this suggestion
is acted upon We are sure we can

able to the community and of ser

ROtarians Listen to Fine Talk

A Rotary meeting of unusual inter
est was held Friday noon in connec-
ton with the weekly club luncheon
IN Grand Army hall After the usual
pleasantries and singing of Rotary
songs, President Merrill presented the
gavel to Herbert l.. Emery. a Water
Vile Rotarian, who briefly addressed
the gathering on the matter of boys
work and introduced c. X. Ober OF
New York as the principal speaker.
Mr.. ODER has been for forty years
connected with Y. M. c. A. work in
all parts of the country. He was
active In establishing the Y M. G. A
in Maine and is good example of
the Rotary Club slogan Service
Above Self Mr.. ODER in speaking said
that he came in contact with Maine
thirty years before he was born as
his mother was a native of Maine and
had told him much about different To-
calities in the Pine Tree state. He
spoke particularly upon the boy prob
lem which he said was Easy II you
get the right key to it," Then Mr..
ODER went on to demonstrate that
the boy himself Is the key, adding
that the finding and training of lead
ers was the great trick with boys.
During his talk he paid fine tribute
to Thornton w. Merriam, a Skowhe-
gan boy who has become very sue
cessful in Y. NJ c. A. work. Mr..
ODER gave personal experiences in his
wide field of activities, talked on the
Y. NJ. c. A. movement and boys CON
ferences with their results. His clear
and concise statements gave the Ro-
tarans much to think of along 10.
cal movement for the improvement
of the ideals of our boys and young
men. ~
