A Circular Letter That
Missed by 400 Miles.

A family in which there are several
young men left an Eastern city near
ly four years ago and moved to Du-
luth. A day or two ago they received
four letters that had been sent to theii
original Eastern address 400 miles
away and forwarded here. All were
from a mems furnishing store back
there that INDUCES in the expensive
practice of circularizing customers.
And, as usual with so many firms that
follow this custom, it continued using
an old list on which the names ana
addresses had not been checked for
several years. The waste in this one
instance was cents in postage in ad-
dition to the stationery and time in
volved.
Some years ago one of the great
est merchants in the world, John
Wanamaker, became convinced, after
careful study and investigation. that
the practice of sending out circular
/ letters was antiquated and did not
! pay. He called the department heads
of his Philadelphia store into confer
/ ence and asked for their frank opini-
ons about it. Without exception ev-
cry one of them favored the continu-
ance of the seasonal letteres. They
contended that their customers ex-
4 pected them and that loss of bust
ness would be certain If the practice
I was stopped. Mr.. Wanamaker said
nothing and, assuming they had con
WINGED the boss they were right, the
various executives prepared their let
tiers as usual. But they were secretly
held up.
At-the close of the season another
conference was held and the matter
of sales brought up. Every depart
ment reported that business had beer
/ unusually good and some of the mer
referred to the circular letters tina!
Mr.. Wanamaker wanted to stop as be-
ing partly responsible for it.

The editor of The Reveille, published at Linn
Creek, Mo-, grew tired of the merchants telling
him that it did not pay to advertise, and there
fore added to his printing business well selected
stock of merchandise. His printing outfit was
small and there room enough in the building
to accommodate the printing outfit and the stock
of goods. He commenced to advertise his mer-
chandise in thorough manner and az this time
is the leading merchant, the leading shoe dealer
and the leading dry goods merchant in the town.
He has not only proved that it pays to advertise,
but finds that there is more money in the mer-
camille business and will quit printing, which has
been taxing all his energies for several years
without satisfactory compensation.-Exc

half appreciated what Redwood Falls Fire
Department means to this corner of Redwood

we'd give them such banquet they wouldn't

Gentlemen" Mr.. Wanamaker is re-

ing an experiment and your reports
splendidly bear out the conclusion |
reached some months ago. None OF
your letters were sent out, and all the
announcements made by this store this
season were included in our newspa-
per advertising.
"The truth is that only small per
centage of circular letters are ever
read. The time and money spent Oh
them can be used to better advantage
in giving our advertisements the per-
sonal touch that will always attract
attention.
Hereafter this store will take it's

the newspapers and discontinue the
circular letters. Everybody reads

Among the many fine editorials written OF
Woodrow Wilson we have found few that speak
truer than the one reprinted on this page from
the Duluth Herald. Whether the reader agrees
with the administration of MIR. Wilson or with
his peace plans summarized in the Herald ar
ticle, has little to do with the matter. Even in
the face of stern disagreement there must be a
feeling that the Herald has painted adroitly and
truly picture of pathetic martyrdom for a
cause.

"Woman Juror Fired for "Cuss words"

Certainly it was not because she is woman

not because she is a clubwoman; therefore il
must have been because she is Democrat that

Herald Subscribers Have
Opportunity to Save Tidy.
Sum on Subscriptions

For the first time in several years
the farmers of the northwest have
harvested a good crop and every in
dication points to selling price of
the product of their land and labor
that will bring satisfactory returns.
The collecting of newspaper sub
scriptions has been a serious prob
lem for all publishers for a number
of years. Because of conditions the
Herald publisher has not made vig-
orous attempt to collect subscrip-
tons of late, with the result that we
have a large amount of money out
standing in this department of our
business,
For number of months the pub
Usher has considered how best to
handle the situation this fall. We
have had number of opportunities
to put on subscription campaigns for
prizes of various sorts, but experience
has taught us that these contests are
unsatisfactory from every point of
view and result in much bad feeling
on the part of those who have been
inviegled to become participants, and
all prize giving plans were aband-
oned.
The cost of newspaper making has
not decreased in any particular and
the $500 subscription price for the
Herald is a reasonable one. In order
however to stimulate subscriptions
we have decided to give all Herald
subscribers a reduction of rs per
cent on their subscription price for a

any state in the union this year.
Litters from eight different breeds
of swine have been nominated for
the contest. Duroc-Jerseys lead
with i85 entries, Poland Chinas come
next with SO, and Chtster Whites are
in third place with 81. Other breeds
represented are the Hampshires,
Berkshires, Yorkshires, Tanworths,
and Spotted Poland Chinas.
Martin county leads the state with
80 filters nominated, Mower county
coming second with %, and Freeborn
county third with IA. Dakota coun-
ty has enrolled IL litters, Rock coun-
ty IL, and Dodge county 10.
Results of the contest cannot be
announced until November. The ag-
ricultural extension service of THE
university is cooperating with the
Minnesota Livestock Breeders as
ISOLATION and the Minnesota Swine
Growers association in carrying on
the project, with H. G. Zavoral of
University Farm in personal charge.
Cash prizes totaling nearly $1,000
will be distributed among the win,
ners.
Five pigs constitute the average
litter grown in Minnesota. If the
same tonnage of pork can be pro-
duced from fewer sows with less feed
a real economy in pork production
has been brought about. This is the
goal of the Minnesota ton litter con-
test.

limited time. We will allow any of
our subscribers to settle their sub
scription arreages on the basis of
S1.5O per year up to and including
Saturday, evening, Nov. 1, 1924 :.
The only string attached to this pro-
position is that the subscription must
be paid one year in advance. New
subscriptions will be taken at the
$3.50 rate. The regular rate will
apply to subscriptions settled on
any other basis.
The regular price for Herald sub
scriptions into Canada and other for
eign countries is $3.50 and $500 a
year, depending on the amount of
postage it takes to carry the paper
For the duration of this price-reduc-
ing period, Canadian subscriptions
can be settled on a basis of $500
per year and other foreign countries
where &c postage is required, on a
basis of $3.50 per year.
{ Within short time all Herald
subscribers in arrears will receive a
statement showing exactly how their
subscription account stands on our
books. The label on your paper also
informs you whether or not you are
paid in advance.
In order to be exactly fair to all
Herald subscribers, if there are any
who are paid in advance desiring to
renew on the $3.50 basis they can
do so. No subscriber will be allowed
however, to pay more than two years
in advance at this reduced rate.

Class Home Followers

Ten local golfers went to Little
Falls last Sunday and defeated the
crack golf team Of that city. This
was a return match with the Little
Falls golfers, the first contest being
played here during the early part Of
the summer.
Although most of the locals were
shooting much below form, they
found the Little Falls players off
color in most instances. The condi-
ton Of the fairways and the ever
menacing trees wrought havoc with
many scores. The course is a heav-
lily wooded one and requires very ac-
curate shooting. Walter Moynihan
and Mr.. Falk turned in good totals,
the others were much higher than
they usually turn in.

ney are: II. A. Falk, A. F. Strebel,
