"off-style closc-out goods Of splendid
value for the money" because the
Smiths seem u~ninterested in such
goods.
Nationally advertised goods are In
demand and the up-to-date merchant
must carry them, Calnan said. More
than ever before, advertising plays q
major part in his business. The most
powerful advertising media, he said,
are farm and daily papers. the radio,
circular letters and billboards. Be-
cause hardware is not convenient to
transport and prices. as a rule, are as
low as those prevailing in cities, the
small-town merchant who keeps an
up-to-date stock should lose nothing
to his city rival. Calnan said.
Square Deal Is Essential
Emphasizing the value of personal
contact and confidence, Calnan said
his pressure sales methods are taboo
and the idea is to be truly helpful to
the customer.
During the rush season of harvest
and threshing, customers buy hur-
riedly and depends largely upon the
dealers recommendations as to quail
ity and price. Calnan said. He
averred that the merchant who Is
careful to give the customer a square
deal at such times merits the buyers
confidence and wins that particular
Mr.. Smith" for a permanent GUS
toner.
The example of their neighbors
plays q large part in debating pdr-
chases, Calnan said. If one man
buys something and it works out well
his neighbors buy the same thing.
Purchases by N person inspire the
desire Of possession in others and
they buy also.
Pointing out that customer good
Will" is the mc;t precious possession
OF the retailer, Calnan said compe-
tent and experienced clerks as well
as a policy of friendly honesty create
a bond between merchant and custo-
mer which builds up the business.
Personal Contact Needed
Jensen also urged close personal
contact between dealer and customer.
He named John Smith, the farmer,
as his biggest customer and named
'cutomer confidence as the biggest
factor In small-city retail selling.
He said the easiest way to lose q
customer is Ito make state
ments that we cannot or will not
stand back of. If his confidence be
lost. he is very apt to do his buying

Well-Fitted Store First Need
Calnan said most customers buy
because they need the goods and the
first duty of the hardwareman is to
adequately meet the needs of the
people of this community. Listing
advantages which his store has, Gal
nan said 24-hour electric service per-
mitS proper lighting of salesrooms
and display windows: a weekly paper
with large circulation carries its
story to the buying public; fire pro-
lection is adequate and taxes, rents
and insurance rates are reasonable.
Because of these conditions, he said,
overhead costs r reduced as COM
pared with stores in larger cities and
the saving permits the hardware
dealer to employ competent help. in
stall modern fixtures. keep his store
clean and orderly and to sell at rea-
sonablc prices.
Oversclling Doesn't Pay
Calnan said most persons buy
necessities first and luxuries later but
that it is important not to 'oversell7

French government had not been ap-
preached on the question of eliminating
double taxation upon American firms
with branch factories or subsidiaries in
France, but that the subject had been
discussed between Treasury and State
Department officials.
1t has been reported here that the
French government was planning an
additional tax Of l8 per cent on profits
OF American concerns in France, which.
with the present taxes of Is and 18 per
cent, would raise the taxation on Amer
lean firms operating in France to a
total of 81 per cent.
Mr.. Cotton made It clear, however,
that no decision has been reached by

THOMAS GAFFNEY TELLS OF CONDITIONS AT NOME AND
 ALONG THE LOWER YUKON

Thomas Gacney, Democratic can- didate for Territorial auditor, arrived at Fairbanks few days ago. He is touring the country in the interests of his candidacy and will go to the Third and Firsts divisions. Speaking of 1conditionsstat Nome and other places visited, he spoke as follows to the Fairbanks News Miner:
 "The MoneIccuntry, taken as a : whole, is.enjoying fairly prosperous season." Mr.1Gaffney said. "In addi- tion to the Hammon company num- Der of small outfits have installed :. dredges and hydraulic plants on ground that was run over in early days. Like all other parts of Alaska, prospecting and mining by the indi- ] vidual is ,hampered ylack of trans portation facilities. There is an ur- gent-.and undoubtedly justifable de- mand for road extension into the out lying districts from Nome, and it is upon this demand that the develop ment and prosperity of the division depends Atosa large degree"
 Sentiment zfor the International highway is not lacking on Seward Pe- ninsua, Mir Gaffney finds. "The peo- pleaof the Second division are strong .ly in favor of the proposed Interna- tional highway" he declared "They realize that the development of any 2 one section of the interior is bound to ultimately benefit every other sec tion. And it. is reasonable to suppose that in time our government will ex- tend the highway to the shores of Boring. Sea.
 'I may be visionary, but it is my firm belief that the great undeveloped natural resources lying between the Tananaa valley and Cape Prince of Waes on the American side of Boring Strait will warrant the construction of such a. project"
 The lower Yukon fro mits mouth up to Anvik mad poor fur catch last winter, remarked Mir. Gaffney. At the various trading posts and com i. mnnities in that section of the river 1 heard strong protests against the closed mink. season which is to be in- augw hsed in that zone next winter. The census enumerator for the Wade Hampton precinct, which extends from. Marshall to the Kuskokwim and takes in the Yukon delta, told me there was population of over 2,000 soulsg in that area. Ninety per cent are natives depending in large de- gree for their sustenance on trap ping. Approximations are freely ex- pressed that if the law is enforced the natives will suffer from destitution.
 -There appears to be revival of prospecting. and mining in the Mar shall district. A hydraulic plant was landed atStuyahok, about 20 miles from Marshall. Individuals have been
