In every small town Lhere is a char- acter commonly known as the “vil- lage cutup,” also a certain contingent which “hangs around” grocery stores, unhitches customers’ horses driven to town to trade, beats the freight train to the next town and turns the cows into Uncle Reuben’s cornfield. The idea is to make trouble for Makers and it was the business of the world to train men to chop off heads and to cry “scab” at every man who here, that every small town as well tarrh and Asthma Gives In- stant Relief.

A great business man has said “we deal with our friends—our enemies will not trade with us.” So, you see, business is founded largely on confi- dence—and confidence is certainly not founded on price cutting.

The truth is—price cutting tends BEM“”I, MINN. toward dissolution, disintegration, ) dissatisfaction, dissatisfied customers —and you know the prefix “dis” means disease and these things just mentioned are all forms of disease. In other words, price cutting brings about a diseased condition of busi- ness. If you are in doubt about the truth of this statement, simply go into any town where there is a price cutting war in process and you will gather some valuable information that will assist you to know what not to do in conducting a store. The salesman who cannot present facts, merit, quality and who under- stands a certain article of merchan- dise will not cut the price, and for this reason this man is a salesman because he sells goods on the basis INSURANCE " Hutfman.
