MERCHANT TELLS
HIS STORE
T
Business Man Frankly Re
lates His Opinion on
What Brought Failure
CHAMPAIGN, III.. March 24.
One of tie most remarkable state
ments ever made by a merchant on
the verge of bankruptcy was Issued
here yesterday by E. L. Murda:k,
head of the firm of Murduck Broth
ers, for 18 yeirs leading' ladlei'
ready-to-wear store In tbe univer
sity city.
The statement sots forth that the
firm Is going out of . business . to
escape being forced Into bank
ruptcy, and In -It Mr. Murduck a-
sumes the blame for the failure of
bis firm, whlch failure, be says. Is
mainly due to bis withdrawal of all
advertising, zeveral years ago, from
tbe Champaign News-Gaxette. The
part of his statement touching on
this point is as follows:
Another contributing cause, and
perhaps the greatest contributing
cafuse. Is the fact that for years
our firm, because we thought the
rate was too hfgh, withheld all ad
vertising In the News-Gazette. For
Owo years we were out of the paper.
We were without proper means of
getting mesEages about our store
Into the homes of our friends and
buyers. The result was they soou
forgot us. We tried other forms ol
advertising to supplant the N'ewa
Gazette, but we found none that
was as effective. Out business con
tlnued on the downgrade.
"After two years we saw the er
ror of staying out of tbe News-
Oazette. - Arrangements were made
again with the News-Gazette to carry
Murduck Brothers' advertising Into
the- home. In, this community. The
business began, to ' thrive but' It
was too late. Seemingly our trlendi
had forgotten about us. For too
long ' a time we' had failed to re
mind them about the splendid mer
chandise and values In our store."
