.Mail Order Houses.
Tills Is what Herman Itosenrteld,
advertising manager for Seats, Itoe
huek & Co., recently told the members
of the American Ad Club at Its enliven -
tloii:
"We have a bureau whose duty it is
to read each week the country news
papers from all over the country.
There is not a pat?er of any consen
ipience in our trade territory that the
bureau d<M?s not get. This hurean
looks over the papers and when we
llnd a town where merchants do not
advertise In the local pai?er, we Imme
diately flood that territory with our
literature. It always brings results far
In excess of the same effort put forth
in territory where the local merchants
u*e their local papers."
May lie the above Is the reason so
much mail order literature Is sent In
to this territory, and we have heard
It said that a great deal of mail or
der business Is done in this section.
Mr. Merchant, can't you put a stop
to part of this business, at least??
Tugahto Tribune.
Kasy Credit Makes "Dead Heats."
The Twin City Hulletin says under
the above head that "Indiscriminate
granting of credit with little or do
attention to the financial responsibility
of the person receiving tlm credit has
undoubtedly had much to do at vari
ous times with the failure of mer
chants. If a customer goes to the
bank to borrow money he must of
necessity assure the banker of his
desirability as a credit risk. Yet the
v.'tme man can go to many a store and
obtain almost any quantity of merchan
dise on open account, with no investi
gation as to his responsibility or proa*
pects and with no security whatever.
It has been estimated that "Jt> |>er cent
of the failure.? in retail merchandising
is dm- to unwise credit giving.
"Then, a ni tears little room for ilouht
that If the l'dail merchants of our
towns would forget their Individual
desire for volume of business and co
operate with their coni|>etltors for the
establishment of a comprehensive rat
ing system, keeping the same constant
ly corrected ui>-to-dat*. that many ol'
the losses existing under present con
ditions would .be stopiHMl. The con
sumer who Is worthy of credit would
be benefitted by such a bureau. Inas
much as the stopping of losses due to
bad accounts would be Inclined to low
er a merchant's costs of transacting
business.
"Still more would each Individual
merchant belonging to the credit as
sociation receive benetlt.
'?I,ocal credit bureaus are well worth
the serious consideration of all the
business interests In every town In the
count ry."

FERTILE TASMANIA.
Nicknames Applied toi the One Time
Convict Settlement.
"Tasmania is perhaps the most iutcr
estiiiK of the states of our coimnon
wealth," remarked the Australian. "It
is a large triangular island lyihg to the
south of Melbourne and was once a
cohvlet settlement.
"The climate is delightful and the
soil remarkably fertile. . The island is
practically one large orchard. As fruit
trees do not require much tending, lei
sure is a notable characteristic of the
Inhabitants, and Tasmania is lenown
throughout the antipodes as 'the ?aud
of lots of time' or "the land of sleep a
lot.' Is Is nlso called 'the jam country'
ond its natives familiarly termed 'jam
eaters.' This' is on account of the pres
ence of an enormousxcannei'y on the
island, where some of the orchard
products nre converted into Jams, Jel
lies and preserved fruits.
"But this by no means (*nds the list
of Tasmanlan ijieknamcs. Two Dutch
explorers, Tasman and Van Dleman,
had to do with the discovery of the
island, and. although t he name Tas
man is now used, it Is often referred to
in old schoolbpoks as Vim Dieman's
Land. We find it amusing to twist the
latter name a bit $nd call the Tus
manians 'demons,' which Is a shame,
as they are the 'mildest and best fel
lows in the ~ world. They speak of
themselves as 'Tasies,' ond that may
be accepted as their unofficial designa
tion."

a reason of more importance present*

used for the benefit of Germany and
