. , . . . WHAT ONE MERCHANT DID . i , . , Correspondent of Home Trade League T entifies to Value of Publicity * v- vOno Ono country merchant writes the lIomo Trade league as foows ] ) : "Slnco 1 hnvo adopted the city Idel\ . of advertising-naming now goods with prices , and at the same Umo making known what I deslro to dls. pose of at or about cost. to make room for now goods-my sales bavo not. only Increascd very largely with regu. lar customers , but. I hnvo secured many new ones. Not. only this-In. , . stead of the farmors' wives spending from a half to nn hour and n half lookIng - . Ing about. the store to see what. there Is In stock they may want. and taking the clerk's tlmo who othorwlso would have a chance to seH goods to several other customers , they como In and ask for the very articles they have 6'een advertised and which they l1avo already decided they do want. from seolng the advertisement in this weekly - ly pnper , and tilO result. is I have been able to dispense with ono of my clerks to whom I was laylng $500 per year. " This merchant. furlller says that. this saving of cJerk hlro expended in this sarno kind of advertising during the year will , ho is confident , increase his trade 50 per cent. . and that he can already name 28 customers who but very recently' ' have been buying .thelr . goods almost entirely from Chicago catalogue houses. This experlenco WiUlOut doubt can be duplicated by thousands of other men in business throughout the coun. try. It is to be feared that the aver. age merchant In the smaHer towns has nowed ] ) himself to get Into a rut , and It Is ono from which he must swiftly emerge If he has any desire to "stay , . - IS HUMAN WEAKNESS THE DESIRE TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. AN IGNIS FATUUS TO AVOID V" One Cause That Has Led to the Downfall - fall of Many-Fall < 1cy That Ever Tends Tow < 1rd Evil. A man who won the confidence , respect - spect and admiration of the people of his state was elected to the United . States senate. Soon it is discovered " that he was "owned by the railroads , " . , hought by fayors and Instead of representing - senting the Interests of the people who sent him to his high place in the nation's councils , preferred to rep. resent the corporations that made It possible for him to ride over rail. roads without cost. It Is only a demonstration - onstration of human inclination to get \ 60methlng for nothing. The member of a slate legislature was accused of showing special atten. I tion to legislation favorable to the ' railroads and corporations. He was charged with riding on passes ; and In . f ct it became known that his prine " " , clpal supporters , too , rode free over the railroads. Another illu tratlon of the human desire to secure something for nothing. The mayor of a city regularly occupied - pied a box at the leading theater ; hnnded out a free street car ticket to the conductor , enjoyed free drinls at ! the bars-another example of the man I who wanted somothlng for nothing , and at last his greed caused him to enter Into dishonest deals that landed him In the penitentiary. On certain days of the month at numerous supply depots conducted by county and city charities , long rows of men and women can be seen awaiting their turn to get. a smnJl SUIJply of flour , sugar and other neces. sarles of life. Some are helpless , de. formed , and their lool s indicdte want k and misery , but there are others who f have no appearance of need. Here again we find men and women leaving . ' pride and selt.respect behind because j or the desire to secure something tor r ; . I' nothing. On special sales days In the retail districts of every large city great I' crowda can be seen about the en. I J trances of the great department . . stores , crushing , fighting to get to the bargain counters , all bent upon getting something of value for lIttle or. nothing. j From the highest walks of lIfo to . . the lowest the all.prevalllng and dome inant trait In ovldence to show the weakness of the individual is the ! struggle to got something for noth. ing. It Is based upon u Imowledge of this fralllty of humankind that some great business enterrlriscs are hullt. Wonderful hargalns are advertised , and the masses rush to buy , without calm.roasonlng in the matter of any comparisons of valuo. Good husl110SS judgment Is cast In the Imcl4round II ) ' the madness to get somethlng for nothl\lg. The got.rl'h-qulck operator uses the same nwtholl8 to lead to his trail vlc. tlm ! ! with dollars as do the railroads , . . . the big delliLrt ment stores and the , , " oth rs who hnvo certain olJjects to gain.

" The methods of u gone eratlon ago , It must be remembered , are not necessarily udalltel ! to the conditions oC to-day.

A favorite phrase muc1 ill use to.day Is "Get business ! " and to get business you lDust go after It. Is it reasonable to eXIJect it will come to YO\I un. sought ? Take the experience of this Home Trade league corresponllent ns a guide. lie had the goods. lIe wanted to sell them. lIis llroceedlng was simple. Through publicity , which in his case simply meant attractive and truthful advertising , he brought the goods and the people together. Re. sults were never In doubt. ' 1'0 SUlD up , successfully to compete with the powerful catalogue houses of the cities the country merchant must in a measure adopt their meth- ods. They have won by publicity. 1\Ieet them on that ground , Match advancement with advancement. YO\1 have the medium in your local paper. Let your advertisements sa ) ' sorne. thing , and mean wh t they say. Let the people know what you have to sell , and depend upon it , they will come to buy. lows the frauds to succeed. There Is magic in the "something for nothing" deal. It Is a bait that catches people in every rank and walk of life , It often is the cause of the downfall of men who have all the abilities to suc. ceed. It is a fallacy that tends to. ward evil. There can nothing be gained without adequate compensa- tion. "Tho somothlng for nothing Is an Ignis fatuus that the wise will avoid. D. 1\1. CARR. SHARP PRACTICES. Schemes by Which People In Country Districts Are Defrauded. Ono of the wInning 'games ' that Is wldeh' played Is the givIng of prizes for the sale of baking powder , fiavor- ing extracts , etc. Numerous con. cerns are interested in this lIne of business. Premiums are olTered to club raisers , and an outfit for canvassing - vassing is sent for a dollar or so , or perhaps furnished free If some person will vouch for the honesty ot the ap. plicant. Dut a "bond" Is required as security for goods sent. The offer is so attractive that lDany are inducell to order a lot of the goods to get the premium. The goods are of the cheap st and most trash ) ' Idnd. The soap , the extracts , the species are all of an inferior quality often adulterated - ated and unwholesome. The person who orders them realizes that the lot Is worth little. If they are not sold by the agent , It matters little to the concern sending them out , as the IJ01" sons vouching for the honesty of the "agent" will be informed that they wIll be held for the price of the goods , and to save trouble , the agent will send the money due , and make the best of a bad bargain. It is a good thing to avoid all propositions that offer much for little. Give Charm to Town. . Attractive streets , well paved , good sldowalks , clean allpearlng buildings , signs arranged well , all go to add a charm to a town. One of the things that often givcs strangers to 11. town 11. bad impression Is the loose manner in which storekeepers and others take care of the oxtorlor of their IJlaces. Often not a sign about the vlace is to be found to designate the character of the business carried on , and this can only be kno by a peep through the open door. The windows are often arranged In such a way as to glvo lIttle knowledge of the goods Imndled. During the summer time awnings hanging low over the walks , so the passer.by must. stoop to avoid them , are founrl In many IJlaces. Just a little care is needed to improve along these lines. An attractive sign does not cost much and Is 11. good in. vestment for the storelweper. Clean. liness in front of business Illaces maltes a good impression , In fact strangers wIll seldom enter a store If the outside Ilppearanco Indicates slov. enllness and carelessness. The up- to-date merclmnt wIll always bo found with 11. well-cared.fol' estalJlIshment.

" London Inn Responsible for OrIgin of Common Saying. , The old Inns of England Imvo been responsible for the origin of many common sayIngs , An Instance of this Is the proverbial phrase "Ho has gone to the devil. " On Fleet street , LOl1don , near Temple Dar , was once a tavern which was known by the strictly - ly old.fashloned name , "Tho Devil and Saint Dunstan. " It was famous for Its good dinners and excellent wines , and received a large patronage from the lawyers of Temple Bar. It was familiarly Imown as "Tho Devil , " and when a law'er left his office to go tI1ero he usuall ) ' left a no. tice on his door , "Gono to the Devil. " There were some who patronized the tavern to the neglect of their business , and the notice was so regularl ) ' exhib.
