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.

der my observation to prove it.
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. In less than six months she was
selling more dresses to the younger
women than had previously been sold
in a year to the whole community.

The village will give any decent

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

reach out as far as automobiles can
travel.
