During the next few months local merchants should advertise. National manufacturers are utilizing the great power of advertising in the distribu- ton of their products. The success full department stores are also using large space in the newspapers: but the smaller retailer has yet failed to advertise as he should. Perhaps this is why he is small---one cannot tell. There surely is some reason why the people flock to one merchant and pass by another. Statistics certainly indicate that the reason is closely connected with the advertising. Let me also take this occasion ot urge re- tailers to use the newspapers in a dignified way rather than attempting to use bill boards and novelty con- trfvances. During the past two months l have motored considerably throughout different sections of the country. At almost every cross road is some sort of sign, a windmill or something else sold to some bank or merchant who thought he had dis covered cheaper or more effective method of advertising than his news paper offered. As matter of fact he unconsciously disfigures the high ways, endangers life and makes enc mics instead of friends. Merchandis- ing is d profession and should be treated in a dignified way. More over, how banks can adopt such cheap appearing methods of publicity is beyond the comprehension of most businessmen. Yet I understand the temptation having once fallen for outdoor advertising myself much against the advice of the Gundlach Advertising Agency which handles our copy"
 MT. Babson added a word of cheer to those retailers who fear the chain store.
 Instead of worrying about chain stores says he. the independent re- taller should copy their good features and avoid their pitfalls. The chain stores are revolutionizing retailing. They are introducing many good fea- lures from which every retailer should profit. But chain stores have many troubles ahead. When their employees organize into labor union as is inevitable with such big units then the independent merchant will again have great opportunity I, however, do believe that 1t would be wise for independent merchants to get together more among them selves and form small chains which they themselves can control. Per sonally l should not want to strug- gle with one lone grocery store; but had just as soon have a group of dozen grocery stores.

BABSON STATISTICS PROVE RETAIL
 TRADE HAS RETURNED TO NORMALCY

Wellesley Hills, Mass, April 2O.- Roger w. Babson, who has recently been checking figures on the retail trade of the country has today issued a preliminary statement. According to his analysis, retail trade averaging all sections of the country is again back to normal
 Some sections are still behind the good years of 1919 and 1920" says MT. Babson, but many other sec tions are ahead. Retail trade was the last to feel the effects of the de- pression. When a slack business hits a section the financial interests feel it first; the manufacturing and farm ing interests feel it second; the job bers and wholesalers feel it third and finally the retailers hear it. Hence, although retail trade con- tinues good long after Wall street is blue it does not come back again un- til sometime after Wall street comes back. There are, of course, a few exceptions to this general rule. The profits of firms ike Tiffany, the jew eler, who sell largely to the very wealth, follow close to stock market movements; but 95 per cent of the retail firms lag year or more be- hind.
 ''The best retail trade today is in the industrial cities of the east. Where two years ago, mills and fac tories were shut down, they are now working overtime. Cities like Pitts burgh, which year ago were work ing only SO per cent of their capacity, are now back to nearly 100 per cent. Akron, which three years ago had the highest percentage Of unemployment in the country, is now advertising for men. Detroit is again back to nor nal and the volume of retail trade in most of these cities Is equal to or greater than it has ever been. Of course, this does not mean that profits are as large. The public is showing more discrimination in it's purchases and is shopping about more. The volume of retail business. however, is back to normal in these cities.
 Any concern in an industrial city which is not doing normal business today should clean house and ascer- tain wherein the difficulty lies Cities which are about to enjoy wage advances are in an especially favor able position. The retailers of these cities should do the best business during 1923 they ever have done The mill cities of New England are in this class.
 ''T'he farming communities may not be back to normal although statisti- clans differ greatly as to what is normal. If we call normal the few boom years of the war, then the farming sections are still below and may be for many years to come. If, however, we consider normal as the average for the past 20 years and in addition allow a proper amount for growth, we will find that the retail trade of most farm sections is now back to normal or will be shortly. Therefore, I say that something is the matter with the retailer who is not now doing a normal business. He either is poor buyer or a poor salesman. Either he is mixed up in some outside enterprise and is not attending to business --of else is not posted as to fundamental conditions. There is a hole in his economies somewhere and 1t Is up to him to nnd 1t.
