ADVANTAGES OF
TRADING AT HOME
Most of the reasons why many
peopie trade with mail-order houses
and in nearby large cities rather
than in their own town can be found
in the business houses of the home
itself:
Failure to find out what the cus
tomer wants, and to have it in stock
when they call.
Failure to play up and capitalize
on these advantages: Personal touch,
proximity to customers which enables from, especially in woman
them to inspect the goods ana 10 i-syi-iuuui.i

To offset this advantage of buy
ing at home, there is the disadvantage
of not be ng able to carry complete
lines of merchandise. This is a ser
ious handicap for many merchants
and cannot be completely overcome
because a merchant in a Small city
cannot afford to carry the same as
sortment of sizes that is absolute y
essential in a larger store. However,
something can be done.

dise which is not m stock at the
time of the request. You can do it by
putting out "feelers" just prior to a
purchasing trip. You can do it by
closely watching the social, business
and political leaders of your city to
?;2fi 0C5 00 ' see that they are purchasing from
you and your competitors. You can-
do it by reading both the trade pub
l'cation and general magazines in
order to find out what they recom
mend. The second advantage you have
over your out-of-town competitors is
that, assuming that you are not
primarily a cut-price store, you do
offer merchandise of quality equal to
that of these competitors. National
advertising has been a boon to the
smaller merchants because they can
now offer standardized merchandise
equal in every respect to that of
fered in the most exclusive store in
New York city. Do you make use of
this advantage?
This question is partially answer
ed by the third reason why so many
people trade outside of their own
th-
ple
leave your store without being wait
ed upon, it is not so much because
they are in a hurry for service. Many
customers will not ask a clerk to
wait upon them; they will stand for
a few minutes and then walk out in
disgust, vowing never to come back.
The advantage which you can util
ize is that of convenience of location.
The main reason why most groceries
are purchased in the home city is that
groceries are a convenience goods.
Although you may not be sellng a
convenience goods, you have a conven
ient location as far as the local cus-

DISCOUNTING THE COUNT !
A COUNT used to be a man in charge of a count of 500
persons to whom he was a sort of overlord. This is not
true today because of altered political conditions. We
still have Counts, but the Count business has changed
somewhat.
Business, of all kinds, has undergone something of a
revolution. It was not so many years ago that pack
peddlers were the sole distributors and transporters of
many of the household articles of the day. Their logs
set the limits for most distribution problems in those days.
Modern transportation, progressive sales methods and
advertising have broken the shackles of time. They
make a speedy job of what used to take years. Through
advertising many an article has been introduced simulta
neously in stores all over the country. '
Advertising today is the method used by business to tell
you why you should have certain goods and how to
identify those goods. The advertisements you find here
are a truthf ul catalog of needed merchandise.
Articles of all kinds and for all purposes are presented
in a pleasant way through the medium of type and
picture. The outstanding requirements of every member
of the family are met by offers of good merchandise
proved value.
USE THE ADVERTISEMENTS FOR GUIDANCE
AND YOU WILL BE A CONSTANT GAINER
