ETcrrlh.njr for the Hick Ilnnm PnONK MAIN An address Given before on Iowa audience recently by T. K. Kelly, nationally known sales expert and lecturer, the report of which is taken from an Iowa newspaper, should prove of general Interest to the La Grande community since It touches on the peddler problem Tho report follows: In discussing present day ten dencies in merchandising Mr. Kel ly declared thnt the retnllors of the country were fuel tiff n more serious invasion or their business because of tho rapid Rrowth of hauar-to-house selllnjr than they hnd ever faced before. "The bell-rlnrer," as Mr. Kelly terms the houoe-to-house. sales man, "Is selling thousands upon thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise In each community In the country that should be sold throuRh the established retail Htores of that district. The bell rlnfrer hi a (trowing competition to retail stores because the house wire Is not Informed of the econ omics of distribution und she be lieves his unfounibd nnd unsup porte, claim that he can sell bet ter nnd cheuppp than can tho re lull stores. "The shame of the situation is that the retailers hae allowed him to continue, Ms coune of what I may fairly term fraudulent claims and their only answer has been to attempt now and then nn ordinance would piac a tax ond require, a bond on the part of the canvas tier, practically nil of which at tempts have resulted In little or nothing-. "The remedy Is hot In legislation it Ih in th right sort or sgres lv action on the part of the re tailers thenisolves. ''It is only necessary to refer to the Specialty Salesman's Magazine, published at pouih Whitley. Indi ana, to see tin- rMravngant basis on which the house-to-house sales men are paid, rommtsslons are pnid to them by the manufacturer of those products which are eold In this fashion that are many times greater than any proportion of the sale price Chat can be devoted to the vrag'-a of salespeople. In retail stores. 'Retail etores are entitled to the business which the canvasser ere Miking, and doa'1 think Uul Ult problem 1 the other fellow's nnd not yours, because there is not a single line exempt from this com petition today and In tho next five years we will find, unless we take speedy action, that the competi tion will be far greater from the house-to-house salesmen in every line then It is today. This applies 10 the hardware dealer, to the fur niture man, to the dry goods mer chant, the clothier, and to each and every retailer. "Tho great weapon that the re tailer possesses Is his local news paper or newspapers as the case may he. The retailers of any com munity can unite in an advertis ing campaign through their local paper to educate the housewives In that district and the buyers gen erally to the advantages of buying through the local stores. They can arrnnR-e their merchandise and displays In their windows to back up their newspaper campaign and to tie up with it." To Build Hospital Immediately , WASHINGTON, J). C.

SCIENTIFIC excavations in the ancient city of Kish, so we are told by a news dispatch, show that women carried vanity cases forty-nine centuries ago. Why did not the luxuries of that old civilization spread to the rest of the. world? Why were the delicate and pleasure bringing things of life buried nnd hidden away for so many ages? Without the-printed word, information could hardly be spread to other countries, and the knowledge of events and things could scarcely be preserved. Today, if a bet ter rug is produced in Kurdistan, it is soon advertised for sale in American newspapers. If a better necklace is made in China, a printed advertisement will shortly describe it and quote the price on the other side of the globe. Advertising publishes the secrets of good things from one end of America to the other. The newest and best products of forty-eight states are told about, fully and truthfully, wherever the public press is read. Read the advertisements nnd you keep from being buried like Kish. Advertisements tell you what is best to buv where to get it and what to pay for it". tsi I 1 1 1 1 il 1 V
