A Pungent Contribution Citing Some Of the Reasons Why Trade Does ' 11 Stay at Home. . ,.r. "One of the Guilty" grows sarcastic, in rsooal and humorous by turns in are u ut article in The Star. His humor li excellent and will undoubtedly find appreciation; but be Is touching on a subject that has reached that stage wbere it ceases to be food for joke. It has passed the melo-dramatlo stage and Reynoldsvllle merchants! are facing a tragedy that can only be averted by the adoption of the up-to-date methods of our Bister towns. The writer, presumably a merchant of this place, can' perhaps explain, to the satisfaction of everyone, why if Iteynoldbvllle shopkeepers are passing out goods of quality, with a varied selection and "hog courtesy" to their customers a good half of the town's befct buyers, those who are after goods at fair prices, do the greater part of their shopping In DuBois. An Inter view with any of the leading merchants of that place will convince "Mr. Guilty One" (he defines his position well) that Reynoldsvllle trade Is a big Item to them. There must be a reason for this. Ev ery person, no matter how low born, has sufficient patriotism in bis make-up to watch with pride the successes of home Institutions; and no person leaves his home town to buy when the selec tion is good and the prices are right with the home merchant. Yet the people are going In hordes to other towns to make their purchases and Mr. Guilty didn't solve the problem when he wasted lead on the mathematical joke of the 0 to 1 ratio. Just now we are nut dealing in soaps but cold hard facts, the realization of which means something to the Reynoldsvllle mer chant. Mr. Guilty depreciates courtesy, as do many other merchants of tnis place, and this might go a long way towards assigning a reason for the inability of Reynoldsvllle storekeepers to hold their town trade. The man who does not recognize courtesy, In hlmBelf and employes as well, as a business asset, may be a man who does a little business, but he is no "business man." The storekeeper who makes no effort to secure itrade by making It a pleasure for the people to deal with him, belongs in the down and out class a position on the scale which many Reynolds vllle "business men" would now find themselves if they took time to wake up and look around. The trouble lies' not with the people, "the real live knockers" (better to be a live knocker than a deadmerchant),but with the shopkeepers of this place. The majority of them are so far behind the times that they are liable to be lapped. The Reynoldsvllle merchant buys In small quantities, hence he pays a bigger price and charges more, show ing but a small selection. The natural result is that the townspeople pay their car fare to DuBois and purchase where they have an assortment and save money. ABk any merchant in, the town how business Is. The answer Is not even "fair;" its invariably "rotten." And the solution is, more courtesy, an en deavor' to get business by showing people that you appreciate their pa tronage, letting them know what you have to sell and above all things have something for them to buy.. A glance into the advertising columns of a local newspaper will show you that the Reynoldsvllle merchant has a jolt coming that will orj should wake him up. You mark the unprogressive mer chant by the conspicuous absence of his name in the advertising columns of the local papers. Count the advertisers and you enumerate the progressive merchants. Reynoldsvllle's list of the latter coula be printed on a postage 8 tamp in sixty point type. "Guilty One" casts a slur at the cash buyer. Hesays, "for no one knows but ter than the business man what class of people buy for cash." Take it from a live one: Handle your cash customers as though they were made of glass and you will have enough cash to spare to hand a Bnug sum to the Business Men's Association for another "Steal Works." Cater to your credit trade and the sheriff will get you If you don't watch out. One of Many. Temperance Rally. The WC. T.
