Andersen the "Miracle Mer chant? because in this town of Cozard with 1,300 population, he has built up a business doing an annual volume of $300,000.00 : w ? flow does he do it? Mr. Andenfa gets about a bushel of mail a day, and about half of it is from merchants ?',ho ask this question. Until he was 23 years old, Mr. An dersen "worked out" as a hired man on Dawson County farms. Sleeping in a cold froom on the farm, he would snuggle down into his blankets to keep out the 2ero tempature of Ne braska in the winter, and dream of being a real great merchant so mo day; And he saved money, spved $800 out of the $20 and $25 a month . he got on the farm. When he had $800 he went to Co zard, and found he couldnt start much" of a store on $800.. So he got a job in another man's store, rose at five o'clock, swept the store, clerked during the day, and rearranged things at night, often working until .10 and 11 ^pight. But he was learning the business. After two years he quit, borrowed $2,k>0 at a local bank and in 1906 st&rted a little store of his own. He gave his patrons service, the like of which had myver been seen in. that, community. Nor had the local. Ripper ever seen such, advertising as he began to invest ia. fes business grewk.*pd. kept on $&ivmg. Jje Wit additions to the store; and then outgrew the additions. Today he has a department store with 37,000 square feet of floor space. * Here is~a message from Mr. Ander sen to the merchants: "If I were,to start business again tbday, I would spend five per cent of my gross spies in advertising," says Mr. Andersen. r. "It pays." - "I have no sympathy with the mer chant who sleeps between advertised blankets, on a bed of springs that are - nationally advertised, who sleeps in advertised pajamas, who puts on ad vertised underwear, siiirts, garters and shoes, and when he gets up eats advertised cereals and foods for hi? breakfast, who rides to work in aA ; advertised/automobile, and whb, when he gets to work, refuses to advertise. He ought to go broke. "?I advertise some way every day. I cannot , wait for the local weekly paper, however -1 use space in dks paper every issue.
