Stoves of all kinds at reduced We sold a Suit Saturday to a St. Louis traveling man. He was a total stranger to us we had never seen or heard of him before. This is his comment after making the purchase "I would rather buy in a good clean small town store (like this) than to buy in a large city store. In the small town store I can deal with a man who has authority, who knows his business, and takes special pains to give me what 1 ask for; whereas in the large city store I am waited on by a S12 a week clerk, who would rather sell me undesirable merchandise, and make a qood fat p. m. pin money) for himself, than to give me what I really want." In other words, the proprietor of a large city store offers a fat premium, known as a p. in. to his sales people who are sufficiently glib of tongue to work off undesirable stuff on an unsuspecting public.
