PLEASE THE FARMER'S WIFE.
: ProviJe Accommodation For Women
and Children Who Spend a Day or
an Afternoon In Town—Headquarters
I With Home Comfort*.
j Some meivliiuits wonder why so
j uiau.v of tln> women on the farms kee[>
j mall or.ii'f catalogued constantly on
| hantl and buy articles from ihe big
city houses which they might purchase
from the home stores to equal advan
tage l»id it ever occur to you that the
towu merchants who make any special
provision for the comfort of farmers'
wives and daughters who patronize
the stores are scarcer than hens' teeth?
A recent writer iu Collier's has some
thing to nay which may offer a valua
ble suggestion iu the matter of keeping
and increasing home trade.
Suppose you're a Kansas farmer's
wife, says this writer. You have driv
en into town for street fair day In the
wiltln;; heat of the prairie summer,
your husband, the three small children,
Including the baby, under the big yel
low umbrella strapped to the wagon
seat. Shopping done, the wagon un
hitched in a vacant lot, lunch eaten in
its shade, the man goes back to the
holiday street. The woman stays be
hind 10 mind the children. She might
goto a store, to be sure, where she
would be lu every one's way. Well
meaning folks would give the children
candy until their little hands would
stick to^ everything they touched, in
cluding their mother's skirts, ami there
would lie nothing to do but go out into
the street and walk, then return and
wait and wait. Ko all that long after
noon she sits on the grouud. holding
Ihe baby iu the little patch of shade.
The sun beats down; clouds of dust
envelop them; the children's hands and
faces become grimy. Finally, at t5
o'clock, the man returns, hitches up.
They watch the balloon ascension ami
start home. Then what? Supper to
get. milk to strain and put away,
dishes to wash, chickens to shut up,
calves to feed and the tired babies to
bathe and soothe to sleep. The woman
had looked forward to this outing as a
much needed change. When she final
ly gets to bed she is too tired to sleep.
Her holiday had been speut under a
wagon on a dirty vacant lot. The
shade of the trees of her own yard
would have been pleasanter.
"This," writes a woman from Car
bondale, Kan., "is the condition In the
average town. There are numerous
places where the men are welcomed,
where they can spend an hour without
a thought of being In the wfty. Should
not these busy women have-a place of
their own where, when their shopping
Is done, they can take their babies and
visit and rest and go home refreshed
and strengthened rather than utterly
worn out?"
Collier's asks if this is a case for
some plutocrat with money to donate
"or the establishment of a town club
for country women or should it be
looked after by the township or the
county? it a;;nars thftt It should be
looked after by the Individual store
keepers. Here Is .< line opportunity
for some enterprising merchant who
wants to sell goods to the women who
live on farms.
Suppose you are a farmer's wife and
you drive into town for a day's recrea
tion and shopping. Instead of having
to keep the children by the tied up
team and eat n cold luncheon on the
grass or in the dusty street you take
the little ones to the enterprising store
of Blank «.V Co., gmeru! merchants. In
the store building Is a commodious
room set aside for women and chil
dren. There are cozy chairs, tables
with the newspapers and magazlues in
easy reach, a couch or two for loung
ing or napping and a motherly woman
ou duty to look after the children. I
You find In this store a place where
you may wash the dust of the drive
from your face and do up your back
hair aud see that your hat is ou j
straight. You make the rest room your
headquarters for the day, leaving your I
bundles there as well as your children. '
You are free togo about town oner
rands, returning at noon to eat your
luncheon front one of the tables, per
haps with a cup of coffee hot off the
little stove provided for that purpose. !
You meet here also some of the wo- i
men who live In town and who drop iu
to rest and chat while doing their
shopping. When the time comes for
you to bundle the childreu into the
wanon and start for home you will feel
a great deal better than If you have had
to undergo the experience of the wo
man described above.
If Blank & Co. offer you such a club
room, where will you do most of your
trading'- With Blank & Co.. of course.
Thus the firm gets H.ore than value re
ceived for the expense of maintaining
the clubroom and in addition has th«
satisfaction of making the farmer's
family comfortable for the day.
Any merchant who has the enter
prise to open such a rest room lu con
nection with his store and advertise
the fact Is bound to get profitable re
sults.
Who is going to be the first to make
this sensible bid for the patronage of
farmers' wives?
Va'ue of Good Road*.
The farmer is by no means the
only one who benefits by good high
ways. Every town merchant Is vital
ly concerned In the good roads move
ment, whether he U aware of the fact
or not.
