The business men and clerks cf ihu
city who attended the meeting oi" the
Commercial club last evei-nnrr felt
amply repaid in the splendid exposi
tion of business methods shown by the
film, "The Troubles of a Store Keeper
and How to Overcome Them," which
was prepared and exhibited by the
Na'ional Cash Register company ot
Dayton, O., to show the difference be
tween the old out-of-date methods anTt
the modem systems which .the cash
register has made possible. The meet
ing was held at Coates' hall and the
building was comfortably filled by the
citizens, business men and clerks to
enjoy the unusual treat afforded by
the film, as well as the accompanying
lecture by Mr. C. W. Miller, one of the
tfneient experts of the cash register
company, who is touring the country
in the interest of his concern and giv
ing the public the benefit of the expe
rience of the cash register company
in handling their business and Ln im
proving the methods in all stores over
the whole world through the use of
the UD-to-date methods. With the
party appearing here were, C. W. Mil
ler and E. Shalter, the motion pictuic
operator, of Dayton; T. W. McChire.
C. H. Sells an 1 H. O. Bcnford of the

The stery is an interc.-.iir.g one .
all cla-ves r.f merchant - While the
film depicts the troubles of a grocery
keeper, overy retail merchant find.;
that he has expei ieaecd some, and in
many cases, all of the ti oublef.that
are shown. It is an educational film,
pure and simph-, with very little of
the advertising smack to it.
The first scene shows a grocery
conducted along out-of-date lines. The
proprietor and his clerks are not alive
to their opportunities. They do not
take proper care of the ca.-h taken in.
nor do they have a satisfactory sys
tem of caring for credit sale:; of goods.
The inevitable result is shown. The
store gradually goes from worse to
worse, until finally, in a di.-honrtcned
condition, the proprietor is about to
give up.
While he is in this state of mind, an
agent of the Cash Register company
appears. He attempts to sell the
merchant one of the company's latest
model registers, claiming that the reg
ister will overcome all the difficulties
the merchant is having.
The merchant is convinced that ho
does not need the machine, but in the
face of this desire are the past-due
bills of the wholesaler, notes at the
bank coming due, and his possible in
ability to meet the next month's rent.
He decides against purchasing the
register, and in a further attempt, the
agent requests an interview with his
wife, who, like the merchant, sees the
possibilities of the machine, but in ad
dition to the difficulties her husband
,is experiencing, she is wanting a
piano-player, an automobile, and some
new furniture for the home.
The agent, however, persists, and
offers to visit the store-keeper's bank
er, wholesaler, and landlord, which he
finally does. During this visit he suc
ceeds in convincing them that it would
be a good thing for the merchant to
have this new store equipment.
Finally the sale is made and the
cash register is installed in the store.
The film shows how the agent not
only installs his register, but holds
schools for the clejks of the store,
teaching them up-to-date business
methods and from time to time visits
the merchant to see whether he is
getting all the benefits he should from
the register.
The final scenes show the progress
of the store operated under more ad
vanced methods. Steady improve
ment is shown. The store is increased
in size, more clerks are added, cus
tomers who left are returning Mid
