THE FEATHERHEADS Big Business Uses Newspaper Advertising Merchants Advised to Study Needs of Buyers; Advertising Held Be of Great Value. Catalog houses and chain de partment stores need not be a menace to the merchant who wins the confidence, tho respect uml the friendship of those living with in the trading radius of his store, in the opinion of W. II Farley, of th<- merchants’ service depart ment of the National Cash Regis ter company, who addressed the chamber of commerce at its Tues day noon luncheon. “This has been proved by men who have built mammoth mer cantile businesses in small country towns, businesses all out of pro- portion to the population of their communities. A million-dollar busi- ness in a town of less than 2-HMI can not be built by counting dol lars. It can not be built by assum ing to tell the prospective custom er what ho ought !o buy But it has been built by counting noses, by creating in the minds of the residents of tho community a do- si re to visit the store, by creating in their minds a desire for tho nierehandiso offered, by having an open mind as to what the customer desires and by meeting that da- mand. The question of price is But the not usually paramount, manner in which the customer is handled and tho impression with which he leaves tho store aro para mount. “Mercantile establishments us ually do not take full advantage of tho newspapers, tho livest thing in the world, brand now with ovory issue, Usually they have advertising services to offer the merchant, usually they can bo a great aid to tho merchant in cre ating the desire on the part of the resident to purchase the merchan dise offered in the community. You aro wasting your time adver tising the catalog houses by knock ing them. Forget them, have an open mind townrd your customers, foster a cordiality towaril them that will croato a desire upon their part to trade with you, delivor goods that will create a desire upon their part to trade with you again, keep counting noses instead of dollars and the dollars will take care of themselves. ” (Cuts courtesy Portland Telegram.)

Registration on Opening Day Nearly Equal to That On October 1, 1924. New Commercial Course Found Popular, Attracting 48 Students at Start. Registration in Cottage Grove grade schools Monday, the open ing day, was 552, compared with an enrollment of 554 on October 1, 1924. This indicates that by October 1 of this year the enroll- nient will reach n figure consider- ably higher than that of October last year. Registration in the high school was about 220 against a registra tion nt year on opening day of 234. Enrollment of freshmen this year w’as 65, whilo last year the total wras 102. Total enrollment probably will pass tho 1924 enrollment by a good figure before October, ac cording to Superintendent Haya. He expects 40 or .50 names to be added to tho rolls before that date, including the high school. “Enrollment this year indicates a healthy condition,” Superintend ent Hays said yesterday, 11 Every- thing has started off satisfac- torily. ” Two now teachers were added to tho staff this year, one in tho grades and one for the high school. One now course, commercial, was added. This course is already proving popular and ' 48 students enrolled in it the initial day. The teachers’ training course will rot be given this year, as this was automatically dropped when the state decided to combine these courses in the additional stnto nor- ma! schools. Assignment of lessons was made Tuesday and first clnsses met yes terday. Rooms are well filled but no congestion exists. Mrs. Charles Hall is substitut ing as teacher of tho third and fourth grades on the west side. Tho teacher assigned to these grades resigned a few days before school opened and Mrs. Hall will fill her place temporarily. Miss Fern Hays is substituting for Miss Queen, whose father is seriously ill. Thirty five high school students answered first call for tho foot ball team, it was announced by F. L. Grannis, high school princi pal and athletic director. Practice will begin at once on tho new field on tho east side. Engraving work. The Rentinel. x fr Notice to Advertisers !
