GET TO THEM.
Wmr each successive return of
autumn come a long string of inevi
table needs and requirements ou the
part Of the guneral public. There
are the many things made necessary
to properly clothe and equip child
ren for school ; the heavier elothiug,
and more of it, for each member of
the family; the various articles that
conduce to comfortable living in
cooler days, and so on through the
whole list of human desires that are
manifest with the corning of the fall
and winter season. As a retailer,
you have provided for your trade the
articles in your lines for which you
expect a demand. The salesmen
from the jobbing houses, as well as
the printed matter they have sent
you, hare not failed to impress upon
yon the necessity of preparing for
fall trade, and their efforts to assist
you iu meeting this demand have re
sulted in tilling your shelves and
stock-room with goods designed for
fall and winter trade. Now, how
are you goiug to pass along to your
customers the buying impulse you
received from the salesmen and the
printed matter ? That is a question
that is worthy of as serious conside
ration as any problem that ever con
fronts you in your business life, i
Upon your answer to it, ami your
actiou upon it, will depend the vol
ume of your trade. Whether you
simply "hold your own'' or increase
tho number of your customers will
be determined by the means you em
ploy to convey to possible customers
an intelligent, convincing story of
the goods you have to sell and the
advantages to be gained by dealing
with you. When the end of the sea
son comes you wynt it to lind you
with very little of the season's stock
on hand. The way to insure this
pleasant couditiou is to get to the
people early and often with your
business announbements.
Before we express doubt concern
ing the adequacy of the new assem
bly the Russian Czar is about to es
tablish, -wo had better consider our
own Legislatures and Congress as
bodies "representing" the people.
The report of the discovery of a
well in Kansas that spouts hot nit
is not going to create any excitement.
Hot air wells have been too common
in Kansas since the days of Lease,
Simpson and Peffer et al.
Col. Bryan stys he expects to
"unearth something" in the Philip
pines. If he has the digging fever,
he ought to take a shovel and report
for duty to the Panama canal fore
Some wealthy New Yorkers um
about to launch another big Life In
surance Company. They may have
noticed of late that a life insurance
company is h "good thing."
.
The Czar has bneu criticised be
cause he would not call an assembly.
Having called one at last, he is crit
icised just the same. You never
can please some people.
,
While you are waiting to "get
around" to doing some advertising,
the other fellow may "get ahead"
with his.
The Virginia primaries are now
safely over. The earth "almost
quaked" but not quite.
