MERCHANTS.
Did you ever really give the
subject of the local merchanl
and you any serious thought?
Perhaps you patronize local
shops and stores as a matter
of loyalty, but as this is not a
lecture it will do no harm to
read this, anyhow.
Your local merchant is first a
citizen, a resident of your com
munity the same as you are
He lives in your community,
pays his part along with you
for the upkeep and improve
ment of your community! ht
raises his family and sends his
children to school—schools
which he helps, with you, to
maintain. No matter what his
line of busines, he spends
money with other business
men of the community.
Summed up, the money ht
makes in the community is
spent in it. Were it not for youi
local merchant there would be
no progress nor prosperity. He
is here day in and day out, giv-1
ing his time and energy and
money to whatever will benefit
the district.
He is afellow citizen!
Is he not entitled, then, to
consideration ?
But there is something more
than a call for your loyalty to
him as citizen to citizen—neigh
bor to neighbor.
Living here as he does, he
comes to know his customers.
They are to him not “just cust
omers,” but “fellow citizens,”
“neighbors.” As he will be I
here tomorrow and the next
day and the next year, meeting
his customers face to face, day
after day, his business gets
his personal attention-every
transaction is a personal deal
ing between him and the pat
ron.
He is your neighbor-your
fellow citizen, building for to
morrow and next year, and
fully cognizant that the only
way to build is to sell goods
at prices that are as fair as
can be expected under local
conditions.
i
Not as low as Outside price!
perhaps; but can you consist
ently expect him to sell Seattle
bought goods at Seattle fig
ures, after transporting thorn
hundreds of miles at excessive
traneporation rates and in a
land where everything he em
ploys in the conduct of hie
business and the maintenance
of himself and himself and his I
family cost far greater than j
i :n Seattle? Analyze for your- !
i ^elf his situation and you will j
i speedily realize that the prices !
he charges are no more than
fair under the conditions.
Furthermore you will realize
that what you pay him is only
a trifle more than the same i
commodities would cost if you
imported them y'ourself, after
paying the original cost,
freight, charges, wharfage,
and haulage charges. Besides
your local merchant is in him
"elf a guarantee of his goods
and prices and services..
So not alone out of a sense of
loyalty to your community, but I
for your own sake buy of our j
home merchants.

GOOD TASTE.
At a convention of merchants I
it was the consensus of opinion ;
that the taste of the American ;
people has improved greatly
n recent years and is stillI
growing more discriminating. :
Several speakers at the con-j
vention gave most of the credit
t to newspapers, magazines,
the radio, movies, schools and
museums and their education
al influence upon the general
public.
Better taste among buyers
imposes on manufacturers and
merchants and their agents the
:olemn duty of keeping pace
both with their products and
their own powers of discrimi
nation between what is in good
and what is in bad taste. It be
hooves the retailer to educate
his sales forces, his advertising
department and himself.
Those who produce or pur
v«y clothing:, household furn
ishings, books, music and art
objects to the public should
come ify to the popular stand
ard> and if they can keep sev
eral jumps ahead of it both
they and the buying public will
gain by it.
But there are representatives
of all groups which bear some
influence on the public taste
who do little or nothing to
cultivate taste j'some are them
selves deplorable examples of
lack of it. Nevertheless they
exert an influence, undoing
much of the good work accom
plished by those who improve
the public taste by improving
their own. They account for
some remarkably ugly but very
fashionable things which still
find buyers.
Much of the bad taste shown
comes from believing it good
taste to have immutable tastes
or of having too implicit faith
in the tastes of others.

One description of a hick town

but their own.
Hubert T. asserts that laziness
is so common it is vulgar.
We read an ad which said
“Why keep your baby car
riage now when your son is six
feet tall.” Well we have known
of occasions when a baby car
riage came in mighty handy
after that, even if it was a bit
out of style.
Success consists lai'gely of
being there on time.
Sometimes a man will spend
more on his fad than on his
family.
The world will never improve
so long as sons continue to
grow up chips of the old block-1
head.

“How is your business going?”
“Like clockwork.”
“Why, I heard you had failed.”
“So I have. They’ve just wound

As the plumber entered the

“I know why,” said the cat.

DONT’S FOR BACHELORS
(By a Divorce Court Judge)
“Don’t marry a girl who
dresses in a slovenly ‘artistic’
manner. As housekeepers such
girls are awful. Their houses
hog pens!
“Don’t marry an intensely re
ligious girl. Hers is a passion
ate, unbalanced nature. She
may turn Holy Roller and run
off with the highpriest.
“Don’t marry a heavily scent
ed girl. She has queer ideas
and may come to a bad end.
“Don’t marry a girl who is ov
er-modest, always protesting
against one-piece bathing suits,
bare back gowns and so forth.
Such girls are not to be trust
ed.”
