“ This is a high-class store.
When I w rite a woman a letter
or send her a bill, I w ant the
envelope it comes in to look like
it came from a first-claim place;
when she opens it, I want the
letter to be properly typewritten
or the bill to be property made
out in a business-like w ay, so
that everything connected with
the communication w ill impress
on her the ¿act that it is a high-
class, reliable place she is dealing
with.
“ It is a fact that a badly
wrapped package, loosely and
crookedly tied up, prejudices the
recipient against its contents be­
fore it is opened, and a neat
clean package prejudices the
house wife in favor * it before vit
is opeoed! We must take ad­
vantage of these things if we
hope to be the best gropers in
this town.
“ These arc the reasons that are
back o f my insisting on you al­
ways inserting this little card in
riie envelope erf every receipted
bill.” The Old Oroceryman held
up a card which read?
‘ •We herewith enclose redript

accept our thanks.”
“ And,” he went on, “ these are
the reasons why I insist on your
taking the name and address
of every person who sends us a
customer so we may send them
a letter o f thanks.,
“ These things cannot be done
in proper style, * in impressive

has some class to it; and such

" I with you had talked,to that
man,” said the New Clerk to the
Old Oroceryman. ‘‘He showed
me plainly where he could save
us several hundred dollars every
year on our stationery and

HIGH SCHOOL NOYES
Teere was a box social given
a t the schoolhonse in district 93
which was quite an enjoyable
affair, about $26 collected for
clock, painting o f house on in­
side and library books. I sug­
gest that the program be changed
somewhat, as we have acknowl­
edged the rights of the ladies in
political affairs. I propose that
the gentlemen provide the boxes
and the good things contained
therein, and that the ladies do
the bidding and the buying. And
after enjoying the contents with
their gentlemen friends, the ladies
keep the boxes in memory o f the
pleasant affair. This idea may
be original and unique, perhaps.
Then I will claim the credit.
