IT THE
METHOD OF
MAIL ORDER
MERCHANDIZING
Mail order concerns de
mand cash in advance. They won’t
take a chance. They won’t trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are worthy of it, he will extend it
gladly. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cask—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It’s not just. It’s
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don’t
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—with low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are rot) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.

QUIT EATING BEANS
AND SAVE YOUR TEETH
TOKIO, Jan. 19.—If you would pre
serve your teeth, quit eating beans.
This attack upon the merits of
the popular succulent lentil that
made Boston famous comes from
Dr. Tsurukichi Okumura, professor
at the Tokio Dental college. He
has made a study of the causes of
decay in teeth, and, after an an
alysis of 150 varieties of food, he
has come to the conclusion that
beans are “most harmful to the
teeth.”
IRISH GIRL OPERATING
GREEN LINE OF BUSSES
LONDON, Jan. 19.—The first wom
an owner of a “private” motor-bus
fleet in London is a fair-haired Irish
girl, Helen Jane Kelly, who has but
one regret. The authorities will not
allow her to drive any cf her own
“private” craft.
“I chose the business because the
possibilities of it appealed to me. I
shall have six vehicles on the roads
in the next few days. It is inter
esting work, and it has proved fin
ancially successful.”
Miss Kelly, who comes from the
Irish Free State, has painted her
fleet green, with the name “Sham
rock” on both sides of each bus.
POWERFUL CANNON FOR
COAST DEFENSE ASKED
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20.—
Modern coast defense guns out
ranging those of any existing battle
ship, should be installed to protect
American coast cities of great strate
gic points of our insular posses
Oiv/liO buvu CiO LklKJ ± it 11 (i lit <4. CcillUl
and .Hawaiian islands, Brigadier-Gen
Dennis E. Nolan, deputy chief of staff
of the army, testified before Mie sub
committee which considered the war
department appropriations bill hear
ings upon which were made public
today.
Possibly of use of long range
railway artillery in this connection,
he added is being given every con
sideration.
Many years of planning and in
tensive study, General Nolan said,
were represented in the plans for
coast defense fortifications which
are on a “sound basis and indis
pensable for the protection of larg
er seaports.”
Ex-Kaiser’s Siory of the
War Placed on Market
BERLIN, Jan. 20.—At the same mo
ment as a volume by the ex-kaiser ap
pears upon the market the German
reicli publishes its archives in two
volumes entitled, “The Great War of
1914-1918.”
William IPs book is a naive ac
count of the wonders of the Island of
Corfu as it struck the royal party
when it first took up residence in their
villa, and will not enhance the repu
tation of the Hohenzollern family
from a literary standpoint.
The reich’s documents are undoubt
edly themost important contribution
to the vexed question of the origin of
the war yet issued in Germany. Apart
from their great value as an authori
tative presentation of events from the
German standpoint, they sift the evi
dence offered by foreign presentation
of the same subject. The first volume
treats of the early battles on the west
ern frontier, and ends of August 27,
1914. The second deals with the Rus
sian front, the operations of General
von Prittwitz, the battle of Tannen
berg, and the fights in Galicia up to
September, 1914.
The first volume is of the greatest j
interest to military experts as it deals |
with the alteration of General von ;
Sclilieffffen's strategical plan of op- !
erations by General von Moltke, who
is regarded here as responsible for
the German defeat. Von Moltke’s per
sonal characteristics, modesty and a j
tendency to self-distrust, are looked i
upon as responsible for his failure as I
a leader to realize the natural short
comings of General von Buelow. lead
er of the second army, whose inter
ests were directed more towards a
personal success of the second army j
than a combined success of the first
and second armies.
