Neb., has given a pretty exclusive knock out to the idea that mail order houses and peddlers can put local stores out of business. That is, if the local merchant 'knows his stuff. Mr. Anderson runs a store in a town of only about 1,300 people, yet he does a business of about $300, 000 a j'ear, selling his wares to home folks. He recently discussed some of the ideas and methods which have enabled him to build up such a phenomenal trade in a small vill age. Of course, those methods include the studying of his customers' needs, careful buying and selling dependa ble merchandise at a reasonable profit. Rut his principal secret of success lies in reaching out for an ever widening trade area, bringing peo ple from unusual distances to his store. In doing this he has naturally adopted the most effective means ever employed by a local merchant for that purpose Newspaper adver tising. And he gives it credit for his success. Here are his own words: "I have no sympathy for the mer chant who sleeps between advertis ed blankets, on bedsprings that the nationally advertised, sleeps in ad vertised pajamas, who . puts on ad vertised underwear, shrt, garters, shoes and clothing when he gets up in the morning, who eats advertised cerials and breakfast foods, who rides to work in an advertised car, and then, when he gets to work, re fuses to advertise. "If I were to start in business again today, I would invest 5 per cent of my gross sales In advertis ing. It pays."
