Is In thu shoe hiiiliico. He Is In competition Willi two other shoe stores lu town nnd three general stortw. He Is also fight ing for trade lu competition with mall order houses lu Chicago, Minneapolis und Kanstt city. Yhen lie puts lu n atock of goods he finds that he cannot buy any cheaper than the stores already In the field, lie can have shoes made with bis own name on them which net hint u prollt on nu average of Id 1-il per cent per pair, hut lie Is dealing with u value then which the people of his coimii mil ty l;n:v nothing uboul.tand he realizes t.'mt It will be a hard pull to sell only lltoso shoes which bear his own name nnd which hnve no Identity as to value with the nvcrage consumer. lie lluds the other stoics are established, doing a comfortable hnlues. They are Jiut as popular hik-ImII.v as ho Is, and he look aliout f.ir txiino aid to enable lilui to break into the shoe trade. It I logical, then, that he should de termine upon some nil vert Isiil brand of shoe tluit Is known to every fam ily In his neighborhood, which has Iwen advertised so oiTecllvely that the standard of value I llxed lu the pub lic's mind, so that when he hangs up Ids sign und put hi advertisement In the papers that he handle shoes the people will Immediately romo to him because they recognise thrt he Is marketlm; u well tlellucd shoe value. In n town like Crcsco John Smith can generally get mi exclusive agency. He can have u slum that Is not sold by iiny other store lit hi town ho can have u shoe that Is not sold by mall order houses nt nil and that net him on the nvcrage its good u prollt us an iniadvertlscil brum! of shoes. It Is true that his initial prollt on tho advertised Hue of shoes may bo smaller than the prollt that I marked on the uoimdvorllsi'd um, but the nd vertlsed shoe soldom requires a clean up sale or u cut price to move It, whereas this I the regular procedure with the uonailverilsed shoe, so that the prollt percentage margin per year Is us good or better with the advertis ed Hue as It Is with the nouudvcrtNcd.

Tho ilenler gets from the iimiiiifiic turer this friendly co-operation be cause tho dealer Is the solo represent ative of the Hue of goods lu tlio deal er's neighborhood. Tho manufacturer desires to build tho dealer's account us much as possible. He therefore sup. piles him with advertising matter, booklets, circulars, window ideas, and so on, and enables the dealer to be a live, progressive advertiser. Printers Ink. TOWN BULLETIN BOARD.
