Wednesday his topic will be 1.-The
Present Competitive Situation and
How the Smaller Merchant May Sue
ccssfully Meet It."
THE increased attendance OF the
last part of this years trade season
over the same week last year seems
to me to indicate that the merchants
have come 10 realize that San An
tonic is n worthy marketing center,
said Henry Carr. sales manager OF the
A. r. Frank Dry Goods Company.
"The larger number of retailers
present indicates that many mcu who
formerly did their buying in eastern

rection and to within 10 miles OF
Houston, in the other, We have had

season believe.
NO idea as to the amount of goods
sold during the two weeks can be OBJ
tanned for several weeks Mr.. Wolfe
said, for the reasons that no check
has been made on the mileage returns
being given out-of-town buyers, and
that much goods bought now will not
