Seeds THOMAS "When a merchant says it does not pay to advertiso, what do you tell him?" "I just ask him was the reply. "What portion of the population of this town has been inside your store during the past two months "Very few merchants ever claim that they have had ten per cent of the population.

Most of the non advertisers would be glad to get one per cent with any regularity." "Then I say, how are all the rest of the people going to know about your goods? How can they tell whether it would be for their advant age to patronize you or not. If you have good values, or special bargains how do they know about it A great many of them rarely or never pass your store. Tho majority that pass give you only a glance. You are not getting their business, having done nothing to interest them." "Then I go ho continued, "to say there are throe ways to get some of this trade now slipping past them They can send around solicitors from door to door, distribute circulars or hand bills, or advertise in newspa pers. The newspaper notice is read carefully while a solicitor is summarily turned down, and besides the advertising is 20 times choaper than canvassing.

And hand bills are chucked into the waste baskets, while newspapers are read. If you don't care to use any of these meth ods, I i ist of the people of this town will continue to pass you by, without kuowing anything about your goods." Those remarks fit here as well as in the town where they were made. A merchant must tell tho public about his goods in order to get trade. Alfalfa seed 10c, 17c, 18c and 20c per pound.
