Make Systematic Study.
In a circular letter from tbe Amer
ican Press Association, they state
tbat one of the biggest mall order
bouses In Chicago la feeling tbe ef
fects of tbe campaign waged against
it by tbe newspapers. They have
fewer employes by several hundred
than were required six months ago.
Tbe reduction in the force has been
gradual, Indicating a gradual lessen
ing of orders. This is a good thing
for all small towns, and even cities
having 10,000 population.
If tbe business men of tbe smaller
place will now make a systematic
study of the reason people buy of
mail order houses, and then plan their
advertising campaign to combat these
features, and in many cases along the
lines adopted by tbe mall order houses
themselves, another big reduction will
have to be made in the number of
poople errtployed by tbe mall order
concerns.
Not a Candidate.
Although I have been considered for
several months as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for county
treasurer, I have decided not to enter
into tbe campaign at thU time for
tbe reason that there are three other
candidates at Reynoldsville for the
same office and I think it would mean
sure defeat for all four of us. I an
nounce my withdrawal from the con
test so that my friends can make a
choice from among tbe other candidates
for the treasurershlp, who are all good
men, any one of whom would fill the
office of county treasurer very credit
ably. I want to thank the large number
of friends who, unsolicited, promised
me their support and Influence If I
would enter tbe contest for the nomi
nation. C. A. Stephenson.
