What Do You Do
If Company Comes
At The Wrong T«me
One out: of every one hundred poo
ple in the United Staten earn his
living retailing. In other words, there
are more people in retail sfiliiur
lone than in any other line of endea
vor except agriculture. Vet, after
twenty years rod around, out of ev
ery one hundred, who have -embark
ed in retail storekeeping, L.-s than
five still have their name over the
door.
The financial agencies U-’Uv .’fat
15,000 retailers fa'll each : ,.<!
85 percent of t hem 1 J,‘J'd'd
advertise. The outs'and 0g r.-a-i n
for the failure of more than M ::er
eent of these over-buying.. Oyer- J
buying mean too much “stick .urn!:.
Now. if profits lie in ouch n»rn
overs, and failures are avoided' by !
having money in the bank—and ad
vertising will not only dispose of
surplus stock bat also bring in the
money to put in the hatik you can
see not only the advisability but al
so the ehsoliite iiccc- ity of -adver
tising.
Some of our readers ran remem
ber when there were prat icnlly. rm
mail order houses. Some can remem
her the time when all the mail • d r
houses put together (and it war- on
ly a little over ten years ago) did not
do four percent of the retail busi
ness in the United States.
How do they stand today?
Of th- $15,000,090,WO worth of
retail order houses do $1.500,00(1,000
— 10 percent. And how do they da
it. ? They advertise.
The mail order house* -nd the de
partment tores who .advertise do
more than twenty-five percent of all
the rotaU business done in America
and their proportion is growing
all the time. Yet, nltbgthor they on
ly represent 80,000 of the retail
stores in the country—or about 3
percent.
That's why it .is safe to say that
advertising is thnt force which put
the “busy” in business and the
“sing” into merchandising.—end
takes the “sin'' out of both.
There ir, something in ChcrryvHic
stores that is bigger than the - tore
—bigger than the building—bigger
than the merchandise. You will find
it mentioned at the very beinning of
the 22nd Proverb, “A good name is
more to be chosen than great riche -."
“Some of you wear Hart, Schaffnrr
and Mark clothes. It is a little thing
to look for but a big thing to find,’
that 1' le fellow sitting on horse
back, blowing a horn. Do you know
what time he is playing? He is play
ing $15,000,000.
“Some of you wear Arrow collars.
Cluett, Peabody and Company esti
mate their good name as being
worth $18,000,000.
“Some of you smoko Liggett and
Myers tobacco. Their good name is
worth $ <9,000,0O(}.
Others may smoke American To
bacco products. Their good name is
worth $54,099,430.
“F. IV. Woolworth and Company,
ten cent stores, figure their good will
at $50,000,000.
Eggs By Weight.
(From The Sumter Item)
It seemed merely funny, years
ago, when a miser in a play by CoM
oni, appeared in a grocer; store with
an iron ring and announced that he
would buy no eggs that were so
small as to go through that ring.
The very idea of making a fuss h
bout the sire of eggs! But nearly
every body is doing it now.
Big eggs nowdaym when sorted
out, command the best price. The
little ones have to be mighty good
in flavor and freshness to hold their
own. And the very ancient custom
of counting egg* by the dozen is in
danger of passing out in favor of
weighing them.
Why not? The value of an egg
other things being equal depends on
its liquid contents; and since it i
nwknrd to measure them by the pint
like other liquids, it i; natural to
weigh them. A pound of eggs would
moan just about the same thing
every time, whereas one dozen of
eggs may have twice ns much, “egg"
as Another dozen.
Many vegetables and fruits, form
erly sold by “dry measure," or by
number, are now being sold by the
pound. Eggs will follow suit.
That gentle hissing nois • you heard
was General Butler sliding from the
front page.
The two groups that seldom know
just what .the people want nro con
gressmen and the people.

What You Should Learn
(The S. \. Masonic World 1
There are five things in life which ,
everyone ought ta learn. They are: |
i !, Learn to. laugh. A good laugh ;
; k; better than modi ine. When you I
; smile or laugh, your brain for the j
j moments is. frCd of the load that it;
; ordinarily carries.
Learn to tell a helpful story. A
. wed-told or' is ar wholesome and
, welcome a a ruabcam in a sick room.
I Learn to keep your troubles to
iVoumek’. The we "Id i-( too busy to
'linger ovs-r your ills and. sorrows; '
<1. [.earn to stoo , r< .thing. IV you j

keep the bad to yourself.
5. Learn to greet your iriends 1
I with a smile. They carry too many
j frowns in their own hearts to he
l bothered with any of yours.
Treat Colds Externally
For sore throat, bronchitis or deep
chest colds, rub Vicks YapoKub briskly
over throat and chest and cover with
warm flannel.
Vicks acts in two ways—both direct:

a vapor. A quick relief for the cold
