Evil Th.t Were Fol lowed by an Eastern Merchant With Qood Results. "1 hardly fcuew the old place at drat," remarked the drummer who was In a small eastern town and bad drop ped In to see Brown, the merchant. My, but you (oiks have slicked up uie place since 1 was last here." 'Yes; we huve organized an im provement society lately, and were oeen busy, 1 can tell you," replied the merchant "It takes the women folks to start the ball a-rolllng lu a thing of that kind, and It bus opened our eyes to what can be done when all take an Interest In the work. Busl- however, Isn't booming to any greut extent." Mall order people cutting Into your trade?" asked the drummer. That's about the size of It," sighed Brown. Well, lt'B a shame. You merchants pay taxes and contribute to the sup port of the community and are active In building up tbe (own, but Instead oi appreciating this fact tbe residents send a great deal of their money to the big city stores." I wouldn't care so much if they saved anything to speak of by it or If thoy got any better goods, but they don't." "Of course they don't," agreed the drummer. "I sell goods enough to know that. Somehow people In small towns think they can buy best through the mall order bouses, and that Ik where they make a big mistake." 'You can't convince 'em of that,' said the merchant Well, It's as Barnum used to say- The people love to be humbugged It Btands to reason that the mall order houses cannot spend the millions they do on advertising and give as much for the money as yon fellows at home can, and people In many localities are waklug up to that fact ' Let me give you a few friendly Buggestlous while we are on this BUhject," coutlnued the drummer. "You ought to niuke s close study of Just what people around here want from time to time. Never let them ask twice for an article If you can possibly help it This doesn't mean that you must carry a million dollar stock. Simply carry what you are pretty sure will be wanted what the mall order houses are putting out to a certain extent. And let the community know what you have In stock. When they read the out of town catalogues and sco something they want they conclude you haven't got It, and away goes coin that should have been spent right here at bouie. You probably bad the same article In Btock, and for less money too. if you don't advertise. you might ns well close up shop." "Yes, I advertise occasionally," said Brown. "Occasionally won't do. It Is per sistent advertising that wins out for the mercbuut. You wnnt to spend every dollar you can afford to ln.ntl vertlslng In your local paper and keep right at It. The mall order bouses lay out thousands of dollars on pamphlets and circulars and catalogues, and you may be sure they are past masters In the art of mnklng them attractive. That's bow they get the trade they do. You can do the Bame thing In your lo cal paper and In other ways on smaller scale. It doesn't cost a for tune to get out a catalogue. It's of no use to go on advertising tbe fact that your name Is Brown and that you are lolng business on a certain street That doesu't Interest tbe general pub ic. Give 'cm prices. Tell 'em what 'ou've got to sell. Make a certalo lay of the week always bargain day ind give people some reason to come o your store. You may lose money m the venture at first but you keep it It aud 'you'll get big results before ong. Let the residents here know .bat they arc not only hurting you, but '.ie town as well, by sending their mon .y out of It. "I'll consider your suggestions." said '.ho merchant thoughtfully. "Guess I will advertise more and try .the cats logucs too." That's tbe game. Let people know iiow you feel aliout this mntter. Tut It to them fair and square and have the jtock to back you up. The mall order Uouscs are draining the country of money that should be spent st borne. nnd It Is about time tbe resident, of small towns reniized It Thousands of dollars are sent away every week for goods that could have been purchased ehenper In the local stores. The first duty of every good citizen Is home pro tection. Funny tbey cannot reason II out tbat tbe more they spend In their own town the more money tbey are go ing to keep In circulation there and the more prosperous It will make th community. Manufacturers looking for a site on which to erect a plant are not going to locate In a town where half the stores har To Let signs on them Why, If everybody traded out of town just to save a few penntea, there wouldn't be much left of It In a short time. Well, good by. Brown. I'll be around this way Boon." It wa. two month, later when th. drummer visited the store again. This rime the place wa. bo crowded wttn customers, however, that he had no chance to bring up thit mall order mai ter. but tbe grateful look and hearty bandnhnke the busy merchant gav. "Don't keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up 'til your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness, speak approv ing, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and their heartB can be thrilled and made happier; the kind things you meant to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowerB you meaut to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have any alabaster boxes laid away, full of fra grant perfume of sympathy and af fection which they intend to DreaK over my body, I would rather they would bring thein out In my weary, troubled hours and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered while I need them. "I would rather have a plalu cof fin without a flower, a funeral with out a eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Post mortem kindness does not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance back over the weary way. "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sand; their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory."- Now is the time to visit California When summer has passed In these northern states, the sun Is only mild un der the bright blue skies of Southern California.
