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

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

tailers thenisolves.
''It is only necessary to refer to
the Specialty Salesman's Magazine,
published at pouih Whitley. Indi

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."

"Vanity Cases
Used 3000 B. 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".
