By Advertising In Looal Paper Ha Combated the Catalogue-Persistent Sticking to th? Line Brought Baok Hla Former Patronage, One of tho famous utterances of General Grant was, "I will fight it out on this lino if it takes all Bummer." Grant fought lt out, though it took a long time, and won. Ho had mapped out bis plan of campaign, and he hewed to .tho line. Business ls protty much Uko a battle. Thu muu who succeeds must look a long way abend, map out his plan of campaign, select the Uno along which ho must fight and stick to tho line. In a Now ISnglnud town lives n mer chant who somo mouths ago found his patronage rapidly falling off becauso so many of his customers wero buying goods by mall order. The Inviting cat alogue and tho luring advertisements in tho mall order periodicals hud tompt od thom boyond roslstnnco. Local trado wan falling off with a rapidity that was startling. This particular merchant did not sit down and fold his bands, lotting things go to .smash without on offort to provont /Ho did not run about tho streets tooilug his mur 'm tli? manner ' of ancient- toms and crying, "Woe's mol" Not a bit of it. Instead, this merchant put on his thinking oap and resolved to combat the enemy. In tho first place, ho made note of tho sort of ammunition the en emy was using. Tho enoniy always trios to find tho ammunition that will do the most oxocution. The other side usually finds lt ndvlsablo to imo the same kind of ammunition and shoot a littlo harder and straighter. This mer chant was aware of these facts, and he turned them to account. Accordingly ho began to uso tho samo sort of ammunition, and lots of lt. Tho ammunition was advertising. Ju tho uso of tids ammunition tho local merchant really had tho advantago of the city mall order enemy, for tho lat ter was doing his shooting nt long rango necessarily, while tho homo mer chant did not have so far to about. Ile could use tho local paper for his gun, take bottor aim and bo surer of hitting the mark. So this live merchant thought out n plan of campaign and hewed to the lino. When ho saw a mail ordor bargain advertised in tho catalogues and tho littlo weekly and monthly jour nals, the cheap affairs that aro pub lished only to carry mail order ads., he took a shot at lt with an advertisement in the homo paper. Ho kopt well In formed of tho euomy's operations by reading tho catalogues. Hero and there ho plckod out tho weak points tn the enemy's lino-bargain offers which he could ruoet himself with a bargain Just as good or botter-nud gradually he got thc local peoplo so deeply inter ested In tho struggle that they began to take sides. Naturally thoy took sides wtth tho homo merchant, whom thoy know per sonally. They began making moro fre quent VlsltS tO his Hfor<> nnl?lnrr tr, . s , j,., un i nw i ni i ipili,, 11 II mu?', ino Hume line, and ho says now that ho ls not Worried about mall order competition. Ho bas learned how to compote. His buslnoss is growing, and the amount he spends for ammunition ls all clear profit, because lt coir.es back to him multiplied. Tree Planting Club. Realizing the valuo of trees to a town, net only as a means of beauti fying it, but also os health producers, John Oreor of Wayeross, Ga., bas or ganized a forestry club, which ls al ready doing a splendid work, says a Tlfton (Oa.) special dispatch to tho Atlanta Constitution.
