The merchant is an established institution; he
is no “ middle-man” in the true sense of the word;
for he stands directly at the consuming end, which
is closest to the people; he is your friend.

What is a Merchant
A merchant is a man who operates more than
a store: he maintains an institution.
The merchant is the man who brings for local
selection the products of the world; and without
the local store in some form you would not be able
to conveniently buy the hundred and one things
.that civilization regards as necessities, nor the covet­
ed things that become the reliazations of the more
or less well-to-do.
The merchant is the man who carries on credit
those who must have time, and those who want time
as a matter of their own paying convenience; and
in either case the merchant pays you interest on
his own money.
The merchant is the man who not only must
make service and variety of merchandise his in­
side rules of success, but who must reach out and
find his customers thru the recognized avenues of
good business practice; he must find you if his busi­
ness is to reach above the mere transient trade. ■
The merchant is the man who pays taxes to
maintain local government and law and order; who
contributes to worthy charities and civic interests,
generally without whimper or complaint; you can
always find him approachable; and in the process he
exists and lets live.
The merchant Tfi* the man whom the heme
newspaper boosts without ceasing, and guards with
jealous eye all encroachments against local pros­
perity; this without condition of advertising patron­
age: for the local newspaper conf onus as a matter of
course to the recognized principles of protection to
home industry as the foundation of sectional and
even national advancement.

The merchant is the man who must resolve
questions of quality, service, price and error against
himself: for thru hundreds of years of merchandis­
ing the public insists upon the proposition that the
