1 J RELIEF FROM CURSE OF CONSTIPATION THE CLINTON CHRONICLE. CLINTON. 8. C THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1930 A Battle Creek physician says, “Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause.” But immediate relief has been iound. A tablet called Rexall Order* lies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the laiy colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thoroug'h, natural movement without forming a habit o^ ever increasing the dose.

A merchant in one village was growing old without having been able 1 to accumulate any savings and his j business was shrinking year by year I as he becafne less and less able to con- I duct it aggressively. He had one g(M>d I asset in the exclusive agency for a |^>(»pular line of, let us say, cameras, i s:tuc that was not the line. This camera agency continued to be ' p; .ilitable becau.se of the extensive rt neral advertising of the manufac- Miers. The public wanted those gofxls ind they had to go to this merchant or them. He continued to cash in on the demand created by the manufac turer’s advertising, but his sales de- 1 reased as he faiknl in ability to keep' up the st(K’k and to push his business with energy. His one anchor to the' windward was this strong advertised ! line, but the manufacturer could not i fail to note that in that village they ■ were not getting the business they | had the right to expect. The manufacturer’s representative j sounded out various other merchants \ in the village. There hud even been I inquiries from one or two about the! agency. But in every case, when it came down to the discussion of actual ly taking the agency away from its present holder and giving it''to one of thjL* other merchants of th^ viUage.^he other merchant would say^ “Well, I’d like to handle the line and I could { double your sales on it in six months, but I won’t take it away from Jones, He’s always had it and he’s having aj hard time to keep going. Wait until he i (piits.*; . 1 There were plenty of instances where people ip the community, want ing better service on the line and a better stock from which to buy, sug gested to other merchants that they j see what they could do about getting the agency. In every case the sugges- tion was met with an explanation that Jones needed the business aVid they didn’t like to hit a man when he was jdown. Time after time instances like that have come under my own observation | ' to indicate the influence of the hu-! I’man element in business in the small j I town, 1 have .seen many cases where | active merchants have refrained from! 'taking the advantage they might have' I taken of the misfortunes of competi- I tors, even to lending them stock in case of fire and sometimes going so | far as to help in financing an uphill I fight. Small town merchants are not more j warm-hearted or generous in feeling; toward others than city merc hants, I hut they know the other fellow and! his circumstances and he may be a; friend. In the city it is different. ! patronize any store in the town. If one has a friend in business, one goes to that friend’s store and boosts the frien<|.’8 game. In the city one may have an intimate fnend, even a rela tive, in business and yet not have time to go the distance necessary to pat ronize him. A young man took over the shoe ting the shop irtfo attractive shape and she gave the women to understand that she was going to keep in close touch with the New York style mar ket.

If he is the right type the fact is soon discovered and there is relatively lit tle opportunity for him to “put any thing over” on the local public. His life, in a great degree is an open book in its personal and family^ phaseN as Well as in ifs business phases. If he has an extravagant family, it is known. If he has the reverse, a family ready to help in keeping down expens es, that too is known. Little is concealed in village life,' and that means that the merchant’s customers’ habits and practices us well as his own are known and he is could for him, and if he had been pos- -sessed of ariy fighting character, he' the opporturtity would have made a real success. i n®Pd a.sk for of making his busi- The village will give any decent young man a fair chance to succeed as a merchant. It will even go so far as to give him more than just a fair chance. The rest must be up to the individual. - ... . The young man who thinks of his business future only in terms of some city is overlooking the opportunity right at his own door. The size of a man’s business is not restricted in this day by the local population. He can reach out as far as automobiles can travel.
