REAL MERCHANTS
All the real merchants in the country are not located
in the big cities. A recent survey of big stores in small
towns disclosed some surprising facts, a few of which
are quoted:
Garver Brothers’ store in Strasburg,. 0., 1,000 popu
lation, does an annual business of a million dollars. The
Outlaw concern at Winner, S. D., 3,000 population, sells
$850,000 worth of goods a year. A department store at
Lynden, Wash., with 1,250 people, does $750,000 yearly.
The B. & 0. Cash Store at Temple, Okla., with barely
1,000 people, does $735,000 annually. Fred Mann’s store
at Devil’s Lake, N. D., 1,300 population, sells $500,000
worth of merchandise a year.
How do they do it?
They do it through the same business policies and
methods that have won success for retailers in the larg
est cities of America. They keep good stocks, give their
customers real service, and they advertise consistently,
persistently and adequately in their local newspapers.
The old home town is a place where you pay for ten
gallons and get ten instead of seven.
Why shouldn’t the men see through the ladies? The
ladies have been seeing through the men for ages.
Those who live longest are people who have too much
sense to worry and those who haven’t sense enough to
worry.
The sins of the jaybird are that he eats eggs and
makes too much noise with his mouth. Let the man who
is innocent cast the first stone.
HOT AIR
R. L. Jones, of the research laboratories of the Amer
ican Telegraphic and Telephone Co., has calculated that if
a million persons were to talk steadily and the energy of
their voices were to be converted into heat (he does not
even exclude politicians), they would have to talk for an
hour and a half to produce enough heat to make a cup of
tea.
About the time the Wisconsin farmers convinced the
country that they needed relief, two bank robbers ruined
the play by stealing $50,000 from a country bank.
Queen Marie is not the only queen in the U. S. A. We
have lots of little bobbed hair queens.
Along with thoughts of winter and fires why not
discard that celluloid collar!
