DISPELL DRESS STRIKE Hundreds of manufacturers and wholesalers, each a leader in his line, whose very existence depends on the independent merchant, are placing their vast resources back of the modern, right merchandising independent merchant, thus putting them in a position to give the utmost in value and, in many instances, at a lower price. When the independent merchant passes out of the business world the manufacturer and wholesaler, whose only sale possibility he is, together with all concerned in these vast enter- prises, does likewise. In determining value quality must always be con- sidered, for, with the wise independent merchant, a sale is not completed until the purchaser has received full satisfaction; New York, Feb. 13—(#)—Threat of | % 8 strike in New York's vast dressmak. ing industry was dispelled Thursda: but new labor clouds gathered in the fresh possibility of a strike of build-|% ing service workers, A.

The price dces not interest her if the style is not correct. In this the large manufacturers and wholesalers, composing the great majority engaged in these lines, whose business depends on the independent merchant, exert every effort of their large trained staffs to aid the wide awake independent merchant in giving style when the style is style, and are constantly in touch with the resident buyers in the style centers that represent the inde- pendent merchants, thus assuring direct weekly shipments of the newest in styles throughout the season as soon as they appear in the market. Our resitent buyers see that not only the style but the price is right; --- BECAUSE--- The wise independent merchant applies first hand information in his buying, gained by personal contact with customers in his particular terri- tory, and is not subject to the views of so-called “high power” superin- tendents who are, in many instances, thousands of miles from the com- munities served. The independent merchant in rendering community serv- ice dces not have to submit his activities to head offices, miles away, for instructions, only to be advised that they cannot give the aid desired as they would have to do the same in other places, all of which was against their “policy” regarding the building up of the comfnunity from which they are taking daily toll; ‘Wednesday evening.

NUMEROUS FIRES CAUSE CONCERN FOR PROPERTY OWNERS --- BECAUSE--. | This is the speed age of merchandising. Shopping center resident buyers for the independent merchants now work two weeks ahead of the market. It used to be two months or more. Foresight, planning, and a new working schedule for the modern independent merchant make it possible for him, instead of trying to figure what might be good, to know what is good and to have it when it is good; --- BECAUSE--- Of a wise charge account policy. The increased volume of business that the A. W. Lucas Co. enjoys by reason of its wise charge account policy, reducing losses to less than one-half of one per cent while increas- ing its volume of business done by more than twenty per cent, makes pos- sible u greater value than can be given by a strictly cash policy. This accommodation is extended at no increase in price under the guise of a “slight carrying charge” or otherwise. If your credit is good with the Bismarck-Mandan Credit Bureau it is good here. The greater the volume the greater the value. And the A. W. Lucas Co. takes advantage of every possible trade discount to further reduce cost of merchandise; : “The premium will not break you but a fire might.” Our record-breaking winter has strained chimneys and fur- naces to the limit.
