MERCHANTS LOSE

Key Westers probably will learn a
good deal about the intricate features Of
the law against passing bad checks when
Edward J. Cahill goes to trial in criminal
court next month.
From sad experience, however, many
Key West merchants already have good,
working knowledge Of the Statutes And
most Of what they know is of very little
help to the man who is swindled.
Robert Taylor, bar operator who is
pressing the charges against Cahill, said
several days ago that the two $50 checks
he cashed for the man represented small
part of the total in rubber" he has ac-
cumulated during the season. The only
reason he pressed the charge in the present
case, he said, was because Cahill already
had been arrested in Miami and he thought
there might be a chance to get part of the
money back.
The present season is one of the worst
local merchants have experienced in the bad
check line, apparently. The number of
persons who nave been brought to trial,
however, is very small.
Under the present law, it is obvious
why so few of the swindlers are arrested.
The merchant has no chance of recovering
his money through criminal action, unless
the person who passed the check desires to
Tighten his sentence by making restitution.
Most people dislike the idea of send
ing anyone to jail, perhaps for several
years, when by so doing they get no benefit
for themselves. The frequently used alter
native of using the threat of jail to brighten
the check passer into paying works some
times, but not very often.
The whole business is difficult prob
lem, but there ought to be some way to
solve it.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1941-03-27
ADVERTISING A SALES FORCE

Advertising is not miraculous system
to enable merchant to sell shop-worn,
out-of-date merchandise for the same
profit that he expected to receive when the
goods were newly arrived in his place of
business.
In fact, advertising is not a device to
sell anything that is not the most up-to-date
that the customer can secure for his money
The merchant who sells goods know that
his merchandise must meet competition
which means that it must be as good as
anything offered to consumers whether the
offering is through personal conversation in
his store or in the columns of a newspaper
through advertising.
Advertising doesn't increase the utility
of the articles advertised to any prospec-
tive buyer This is the basis of many at
tacks upon advertising by those who do not
realize that advertising is modern sales
manship. Business men employ individuals
TO sell goods. They do not expect statesmen
to improve the goods sold in order to Justify
their salaries. Statesmen are only expected
to sell.
Advertising is a sales promoter. 1t
does not affect merchandise except to
speed-up it's transfer from merchant to Gus
toner.

ITALIAN NEWSPAPER CORRECT

It is rather unusual for us to find an
ANALYSIS of a situation in an Italian news
paper which commends itself to us through
the cogency of the reasoning involved.
Such an exception recently appeared
in the Corrierre Della Sera. of Milan, Italy
An article discussing the recent decision OF
Congress to fortify Guam called attention
to the refusal of Congress to vote SINH
lar appropriation on earlier occasions and
said:
From this one deduces that Congress

correct and we do not believe that Con-
