IIOHfcliLlUi. OilE TEACHING THE TRADE TO BUY AT HOME. On account of the great slump in business in the past year, - v, K,..i. mn nf th town nt Ottawa. Ohio, made an invests-1 ... uiv r -. tion, and, by this investigation, lound facts thut caused them to, 7: open their eyes, says the National Retail Clothier. During three, -' recent months they found that something near $20,000 had beeni r ot "f their little town in post office money orders for mer-j - chandise, 2o00 money orders averaging $8 each, representing this f ' r i. il, e cririn inl,nlitnnB I j au.ti Ui ...oncy ,v.-..uB v - At the railroad ticket office - 3400 tickets had been sold to Lima, Ohio, a city ol over ju.uuu ln habitants and only 18 miles away. "- This, together with the mail order business and the automo biles that go on shopping trips to the city of Lima, was estimated to bring the total amount of 71 town at close to $100,000 every three months, or nearly $100,000 -Z per year. "Z This immense amount of money was slipping away from them j lj ji , j r uay uy aay anu 10 Keep it, au nunie iiieuni. nn mucaac in uumuv that was worth while looking after. They called a meeting of the business men of their little city to decide upon some course to take to stop this constant stream of outgoing trade. A mid-week sales day seemed to offer possibilities, nt least it was worth trying. Every retailer in the town would offer as an inducement one or ZZ more bargains on that day each week. This, it was thought, would be quite an incentive, one that would bring the buying pub- lie to trade at home at the same time get the people into the stores nnd acquaint them with the buying possibilities at home. With this intention, thirty business firms organized a retail- ers' association to start a trade-at-home campaign. The first sales day was set, each business man advertised through his home paper and by printed bills his bargains ofTered for that day, and then awaited results. The morning of the first day's sale came. Every retailer was eager to know what would materialize. Before noon many of the Z advertisers ran out of the bargnin article and had to substitute for .Z it. Not only the bargain articles hBd a big run, but there was an Z increase in the sales of goods that were not advertised as bar Z gains. It was the biggest Tuesday in regard to sales during the year. : " On this day one grocer sold over 400 pounds of coffee ; a hard . .1 ware store 1000 pounds of nails; a meat market sold 300 pounds 1-of lard before noon; another grocer reported felling 643 cans of peaches, with a limit of three cans to a customer, and was sold out at 1 o'clock. Three of the dry iroods stores renorted bv far the best business thov lmrl linrl mi snv reported having sold more than double the amount of goods they - - had ever sold on any day except Saturday. Other business places also reported an exceptionally good business. These sales have been repeated each .week, nnd business has increased more than 50 per cent in 30 days. These sales have done more than was hoped for in building up their business, and they will be continued indefinitely, for through them the people are learning to buy at home. .And they are aiding greatly to build up home trade.
