Stimulating Business Instead of sitting Idle, holding their hands, and crying about thc supposed "Hard Times," the Columbia Tailors of this city, pot on a Sale last Saturday, and which ls yet running, In which they stimulated Ute purchase of tailored clothes to quite an extent. In their Opening Announcement, they gare as their reason for holding this sale, that the) had anticipated a Big Fall business, and had bought extra heavily of piece goods, trimmings, etc.; bot In view of the unsettled conditions, they had; gelded to cut the price of their Snits and Overeats to a price of Ten Dollars and ninety-eight cents for choice of vajees np to Twenty-five Dollars, bellowing that the many, many new friends and patrons that they would make would repay them for the losses they would suffer by ?eason of the great reduction In price, which they were offer ing. There's no doubt but that it ls a very difficult thing for any merchant to decide to cat the price on seasonable merchandise down to cost or less, especially at the beginning of the season; b-n-t whore conditions warrant strenuous measures, the time to pot them In effect Is at the very time that the trade ?san and will take advan tage of the sacrifice, for In proportion to the benefits that the re tail trade derives from the sacrifices made by any merchant will that same merchant profit by a marked Increase tn <*good will" of his old patrons, and added new customers and friends by rea- . son ol IMs sacrifice he ls making. Merchandising has changed a great deal In the past ten or fifteen,years, until today the merchant who doesn't realise fully that the selling of goods Is not a CONQUEST, but a matter of CO OPERATION, ead that he who SERVES the BEST Is the ONE who PROFITS MOST, 1? entirely ont of tua? wttk H.? ?ftteda cf tfee most successful merchants of today.
