HERE IS ONE WAY TO HELP
LOCAL MERCHANT
A B ancroft, Idaho, business man,
J. M enhard, owner of the Square
Deal store, recently has found a
way to m eet catalogue house com
petition, face to face, and to beat
it on its own ground.
Mr. H enhard’s experience is il
lum inating and is given herew ith
with the idea that it may be helpful
to m any merchants.
Mr. M enhard has w ritten the fo l
lowing letter, covering his method,
which is self explanatory:
“ I am enclosing an ad th a t I
printed to ru n in our weekly paper,
and to mail to our list and to dis
trib u te by hand.
“ This is the dandiest mail order
town I ever was in, and I have been
in a g re a t many towns, so I thought
to put it fti black and white would
be the best way. Now I am w aiting
to have our other m erchants follow
this up next week with advertising
of clothing, shoes, dresses, etc. Then,
when all the other stores have had
their day, I will start a new one and
keep it up.”
The advertisem ent used was a
double-column ten inch display, and
reads:
“ Come, l e t ’s reason together.
Here is an example. A mail order
house lists colored Indianhead at
43 cents a yard. 3*4 yards a t 43
cents— $1.51. Parcel post charges,
15 cents. Postoffice money order, 5
cents.
“ Mail postage, 2 cents. Total $1.74
“ Our price, 45 cents a yard. 3%
yards— $1.57.
“ You save 17 cents by buying at
home.
“ We have all the colprs made.
Also th read to m atch and, if you
need a small piece to finish the
dress, you can get it here a t once.
“ Think it over.”— N. E. A. Bulle

SAN JOAQUIN EGGS IN

then its position as a leading indus
try o f C alifornia is indicated by the
entry of the San Joaquin valley as a
source of supply fo r eastern m ar
kets.
The first carload of eggs from
th at region is now on its way to the
East. The consignm ent consists of
512 cases of eggs, with 30 dozen
eggs in each ease, m aking a total
of 184,320 and has an approxim ate
value of $21,000. The shipm ent was
routed from F resno to St. Louis,
Mo., over S outhern Pacific lines.
The first consignm ent, a fo reru n
ner of fu tu re shipm ents, is a result
of the e ffo rts o f the Fresno Poul-

build up n country-w ide trad e for
San Joaquin valley eggs. The asso
