Ask!
Ask!
Ask!

He who asks most gets most, There is no getting
‘away from the truth, It is something like the tortoise
nnd the bare. The race in business is not to the
awift, nor to the clever, nor to the brilliant min, but
to the man who is most dilligent—to the man who

keeps on doing his plain duty.

You are a retailer. You want to get business,

Yoru want to svell cach day's sn es. Wi, you will sell

more each day if you ask! ask, ask! buyers to buy

your goods,

You etn hardly go around canvassing” homes and
Inivers fuce to face, This practice would he too
costly, though nndoubtedly would be effective. Ent
yon can see newspaper advertising: in this way you
ean do your asking for business. You are not requir-
ed by the buying public to do smart advertising, The
Iubiie gust wants s. be ifoomed avai what you
have to sell; and if you will add reasons why the
public showld buy what you offer, then you will get

“more customers. The yublic wants information, ond
it won't object to a little urging. Spending money [s
for most persue s tiie nu serious mrss, and thes
therefore like retail merchants advertisements ty be

"plain, straightforward statements o£ fact.

Rural Merchant
Has Troubles
Like > all Others

The life of a country merchant is
not always all sunshine and ease, by
a long way, In our ramblings . last
week end we called upon one of the
merchants in a nearby town and we
found him quite unsettled in Bis mind.
It appears that not long ago his: cow
presented him with twin calves and
it was his desire to ship the calves to
Kitwanga on the night train just the
night before we called. Early that
evening some ‘guests arrived at the
mnerchants house and they stayed some
little time, in fnct it was quite dark
when they left. The crates for the
enives had not been built, It wats
dark aud the bits of lumber were not
all where they should Haye Deen. The
electric Ughts were not burning and
only wv candle in a can was ovnilable
ta shed light on the operations. The
better: half (the merchants better
half) was pressed into service as the
officinl light holder, The work was
folng along as well ns good be expect-
ed when the busy merchant put down,
his pet hammer and could not find it,
His better half, not knowing the dif-
ference in hammers, handed him an
old one with a rounded head. . The
first nail thereafter was about to re-
ceive its first’ blow, but the hammer
silpped off the nail and hit the busy
merehant’s thumb. That delayed op-
erations sume little time and increased
the tension somewhat. Finally the
crntes were finished and the calves
safely enclosed. The busy merchant
found it ‘was just train time and. he
nude one grand rush for the depot to

| find he had to sit there. and wait un-

til the ‘hour of midnight. Jt was eold
