HOME MERCHANT
YOUR STANDBY
AT ALL TIMES
Your cerdit is the backbone of your
standing in the community.
And it’s the home merchant who
gives you credit, gives you satisfac
tion.
He puts himself out to satisfy the
smallest shades of your preference in
what you buy.
He exchanges your purchases if
they are not satisfactory.
He gives your money back if you
demand it.
( He is the man who stands in per
son back^ of his guarantee, and makes
good any losses you may sustain
through faulty goods.
That one word, “satisfaction,”
sums it all up.
And there’s a great significance in
that one word. The richness and coin
fort of twentieth century civilization
are linked up with the development
of more varied individual wants, and
with the satisfaction of those wants.
And just as the most progressive
and happy community is that which
has the greatest variety of wants
and the best opportunity of satisfy
ing them all, so the most progressive
and happy individual is he whose
wants are not only met, but minutely
cotlcfi ad
Primitive man has few wants; and
they are easily satisfied. Gum drops
and glass beads suffice to delight the
Eskimo. The more civilized the man,
the more intricate are his wants. It
takes not just gum drops, but varied
refinements of confectionery to please
the inhabitant of an advanced com
munity.
Not rough standardized glass beads,
but delicately and individually design
ed jewelry is the demand of the
highly civilized man or women.
The whole world has been in fear
ful conflict over this very issue. It
is the issue between civilization and
savagery, between the Prussian prin
ciple of standardizing the individual,
and the American principle of exalt
ing the individual, giving the freest
play to his wants and abilities.
Your standing as a free member
of progressive civilization is not en
hanced when you fill your needs only
vaguely, and satisfy them just as
vaguely. The highly civilized individ
ual feels his wants keenly and with
many clear-cut shades of personal pre
ference. He therefore insists on satis
fying his wants by personal purchases,
picking out his choice from a great
variety of goods actually put into his
hands for individual examination.
That means satisfaction.
That is the satisfaction.-.which the
home merchant gives—which it is his
whole business in life, his whole am
bition, to give.
The merchant with whom you, as
a person of refinement, prefer to deal
is the home town merchant who sets
for himself two tasks:
First, by personal, cordial co-opera
tion to ascertain exactly what you In
dividually want, whether it be in the
style or fit of a garment, the quality of
a foodstuff, the craftsmanship in a
piece of furniture, the type and bind
ing of a book.
Second, his task, having ascer
tained the exact shade of your want,
is to satisfy it precisely and perman
ently the article or refund your money
if satisfaction is not perfect.
That is service; that is satisfaction.
It is the keystone of the modern
commercial structure to demand and
to get these two things?
Do you demand them? Are you an
Eskimo in an igloo, waiting for a
cheap semblance of civilization to be
sent to you, in the form of a stan
dardized bauble? Or are you a live,
progressive, civilized, modern, not
taking whatever standardized product
some exploiter fattening on profits in
another region chooses to send you,
by the mail and catalog process, but
going forth yourself to get exactly
what you individually want of the in
finitely varied products of civiliza
tion?
The home merchants helps you to
be the latter. Service and satisfaction
he alone gives you, and he alone can
give you.
It is your duty not only to him hut
to yourself, to your city—to your civ
ilization—to give the home town mer
chant your heartiest patronage.

BRITISH WOMEN GIVEN
MEMBERSHIP IN NAVAL
; ARCHITECTURAL COEEGE
LONDON, May 22 (by Asf Delated
i Press).—British women have scored
1 a new triumph by securing 'admis
sion to the institution of naval* archl
i tects as members. The vote taken by
i the institute on the question was 491
b to 220.
1‘ When the result was announced Sir
*» William Smith moved that women be
t admitted as members on equal terms
t with men. Sir Alfred Yarrow, in sec
i onding the motion, mentioned the
*■ case of women joiners who were em
t ployed a short time ago in building
f a destroyer. He said they made a
i- "magnificent job of it,” and the boat
■- was accepted by the admiralty with
out a demur. He mentioned another
i boat which recently attained_a speed
l of 38.6 knots.
l “That,” said Sir Alfred, "is the best
speed yet obtained. The lines of that
t ship were determined partly by a
- young lady named Keary."
The motion was carried.

TOTAL PRODUCTION OF

DAWSON, Y. T., May 22 (by Asso

world $200,000,000 in virgin &SMr ac
cording to records of the royalty''col
lector of the Dominion government
here.
The Klondike sent to the great war
600 of its stalwart sons. Stress of high
cost of equipment and supplies, due
to war, slowed down gold production
during the years frofh 1914 to the end
of 1918. But with the approaching of
peace, large dredges which have been
Idle are expected to revive their op
erations, and the estimated forty
eight miles of placer creeks of proved
values within a few miles of Dawson,
miners say, soon will hum with re
newed activity.
The greatest year's gold production
of the Klondike was during 1900, when
$22,275,000 worth of virgin gold was
shipped. In 1918 the last year of the
war, recorded production fell to
$1,935,820,
