The question of neighborhood and brotherhood is heard on all sides in our lodges and fraternal orders.

How Alexander Untied the Knot Bf Herbert Kaufman. Alexander the Great was being shown the Gordian* Knot. “It can’t be untied,” they told him; “every man who tried to do it fell down.” But Alexander was not discouraged because the rtst had flunked. .He simply realized that he would have to go at it in a different way. And instead of wasting time with his fingers he drew his sword and slashed it apart. Every day a great business general is shown some knot which has proven too much for his competitors, and he succeeds because he finds a way to cut it. The fumbler has no show so long as there is a brother mer chant who doesn’t waste time trying to accomplish the impossible—who takes lessons from the failures about him and avoids the methods which were their downfall. The knottiest problems in trade are: /—The problem of location. 2— The problem of getting the crowds. 3— The problem of keeping the crowds. 4— The problem of minimizing fixed expenses* 5— The problem of creating a valuable good will. \ None of these knots is going to be untied by fum bling fingers. They «are too complicated. I'hey're all involved together—twisted and entangled over and about each other—so intertwined that they can’t be solved singly—like the Gordian Knot they must be cut through at one stroke. And you can’t cut the knot with any sword except the newspaper—because; 1— A store that is constantly before the people makes its own neighborhood. 2— Crowds can be brought from anywhere by daily advertising. 2—Customers can always be held by induce ments. 4— Fixed expenses can only be reduced by in creasing the volume of sales. 5— Good will can only be created through pub licity. Advertising is breeding new giants every year and making them more powerful every hour. Publicity is the sustaining fcxxl of a powerful store and the only strengthening nourishment for a weak one. The re tailer who delays his entry into advertising must pay the penalty of his procrastination by facing more giant competitors as every month of op|X)rtunity slips by. Personal ability as a close purchaser and as a clever seller doesn’t count for a hang so long as other men are equally well posted and wear the sword of publicity to boot. They are able to tie your business into constantly. closer knots’while you cannot retaliate because th^e, is no knot which their advertising cannot cut for them. Yesterday you lost a customer-—today they took one—tomorrow* they’ll get another. You cannot cope with their competition because you haven’t the weajjon with which to oppose it. You can’t untie your Gordian Knot because it can’t be untied—you’ve got to cut it. You must become an advertiser or you must pay the penalty of incompetence. ( 'You not only require the newspaper to fight for a ' more hopeful tomorrow, but to keep today s situation from becoming hopeless.
