a a HOSPITAL AT FARGO T0 BE EXPANDED BY 37 ADDITIONAL BEDS Administration Structure Will Free Space for New Wards in Old CLAIM FILING IS EXTENDED Adjusted Compensation Appli- cations to Be Received to March 15, if Passed fargo, N. D., Feb. 11.—A new ad- ministration building for the U. 3. Veterans bureau in Fargo. to cost probably $100,000, will be built during the coming spring and summer. Jack Williams, department adjutant of the North Dakota American Le- gion, and T. O. Kraabel, state veter- ans service commissioner. were given this assurance last week in Washing- ton by General Frand T. Hines, direc- tor of the Veterans bureau. General Hines told the North Da- kota men that the building will be erected as soon as funds become; available from the general hospital construction fund appropriated by congress recently. Construction of the building will provide new quar- ters for the regional office of Veter- ans bureau here, thus making room for about 37 additional beds in the veterans hospital. The hospital now has 57 beds. Hundreds of bills affecting former service men have been introduced in} congress, the North Dakota men de- clare, and both major parties are looking to the American Legion to gather them all together and prepare suitable legislation. However. includ- ed in legislation that is presumed will be passed by congress in the near fu- ture is one bill which will extend ‘until March 15, 1931, the final closing date for filing of adjusted compensa- tion claims, Williams said. There were 110,000 claims filed after the last closing date, January 2, 1930, in- cluding more than 300 from North Dakota veterans. This latter num- ber, however, does not include those who have never filed for compensa- tion. former service men in proving claims due to service because records were ‘The great difficulty encountered by | Devils Lake Getting Lot of Conventions Devils Lake, N.

HARDWARE DEALERS ANALYZE HABITS OF | AVERAGE CUSTOMER Important Merchandising Prin- | ciples Developed by State | Association |} Fargo, N. D., Feb. 11—(%)—The habits of John Smith and the mem- 's of his family got a thorough ing-over” at the state convention | of the North Dakota Retail Hard- | ware association, which opened here today. - The examination will continue throughout the convention, which will close Thursday, and when they leave for home the hardware dealers hope to have a better appreciation of | what the Smith family thinks about |. To escape charges of being | “snoopy,” however, the hardware men | hasten to explain that “The Smith | Family” is merely a name given to the average customer of the hard- ware store and the examination will be conducted from a business rather than a personal angle. John I. Rovig, Mandan, president of the association, introduced the Smiths at the opening session today and among those who reported their ob- servations were L. 8. Jensen, Edin- burg; W. J. Gust, St. Thomas; J. W. Calnan, Berthold; A. F. Hoff, Wishek 1 and A. N. Eliason, Beach. Well-Fitted Store First Need Calnan said most customers buy because they need the goods and the first duty of the hardwareman is to adequately meet the needs of the people of this community. Listing advantages which his store has, Gal- nan said 24-hour electric service per- mits proper lighting of salesrooms and display windows; a weekly paper with large circulation carries its story to the buying public; fire pro- tection is adequate and taxes, ‘rents and insurance rates are reasonable. | Because of these conditions, he said, overhead costs are reduced as com- pared with stores in larger cities and the saving permits the hardware dealer to employ competent help, in- stall modern fixtures, keep his store clean and orderly and to sell at rea- sonable prices. Overselling Doesn’t Pay Calnan said most persons buy necessities first and luxuries later but that it is important not to “oversell” the customer, since that is less prof- itable than underselling. Good, medium-priced articles s¢ll best and the Smith’s look to color and style more than ever before, with the result that he has quit buying “off-style close-out g of splendid value for the money,” because the ma seem uninterested in such Nationally advertised goods are in demand and the up-to-date merchant must carry them, Calnan said. “More than ever before, advertising plays a major part in his business. The most Powerful advertising media, he said, are farm and daily papers, the radio, circular letters and billboards. Be- cause hardware is not convenient to transport and prices, as a rule, are as low as those prevailing in cities, the | small-town merchant who keeps an | up-to-date stock should lose nothing | to his city Hival, Calnan said. Square Deal Is Essential Emphasizing the value of personal | contact and confidence, Calnan said his pressure sales methods are taboo and the idea is to be truly helpful to the customer, During the rush season of harvest riedly and depends largely upon the dealers recommendations as to qual- ity and price, Calnan said. He averred that the merchant who is careful to give the customer a square deal at such times merits the buyer's confjdence and wins that particular “Mr. Smith” for a permanent cus- tomer. The example of their neighbors plays a large part in dictating pfr- chases, Calnan said. If one man buys something and it works.out well his neighbors buy the same . Purchases by one person inspire the desire of possession in others and they buy also. Pointing out that “customer good will” is the mest precious possession of the retailer, Calnan said compe- tent and experienced clerks as well as a policy of friendly honesty create a bond between merchant and custo- mer which bulids up the business. Personal Contact Needed Jensen also urged close personal contact between dealer and customer. He named John Smith, the farmer, as his biggest customer and named “cutomer confidence” as the biggest factor in small-city retail selling. He said the easiest way to lose a farmer customer is “to make state- ments that we cannot or will not stand back of. If his confidence be lost, he is:very apt to do his buying elsewhere, and since the automobile MONEY FOR YOUR CHILD'S Es SCOTTS .
