Sanchez forged forward and caught his daughter roughly by the shoul- der, but she put her hands on her slim hips and shook him off disdain. fully. “I'm nineteen,” she said, Brideman.” Sanchez flung up his hand, snapped his fingers. His brown face was ashen gray. For a second or so the stranger hesitated, scanned the faces of the principals in the little play. Then he smiled, picked up the cards, deftly shook them together and shoved them over, “All right,”” he said, “and you may have the deal in the bargain. One hand to draw.” Brideman, steady sa rock, dealt laid down the pack and picked up his hand. He discarded two, picked up the pack again and looked at the other. The young man threw down four cards and smiled. The girl by the table flushed like a sunset. A slight chance he took to win her, in all truth! In silence Brideman dealt him four cards, took his own two, and in si- lence they both spread down their hands, face up. stranger Brideman held two queens and a Jack, a five and a trey. The stranger held four Kkings straight, and a nine spot—the card he had held from his discard. Lolo, watching, saw this card turm up and the flush deepened in her dark cheeks. ‘With an oath Brideman bungled up from the table. “Devil's luck!” he said hoarsely. “but you're sold, Lolo, body an’ soul!” —with which word and, a mocking laugh he lurched to the bar. And Lolo, looking up with her wide black eyes and her pomegranate lips| parted like moist rosebuds, smiled at Only Redstar across the fence in & en with his ewn perfection.

About Retailers—the Growing Mass and the Dwindling Class Goods which are well advertised na- tionally by the manufacturer are large- ly sold to the public before they ever reach the retailer. i Goods which are not advertised by the producer must be sold by the re- tailer. In the one case, the manufacturer has done a great part of the job; in the other he has left it all for the dealer to do. For many articles, national advertis- ing creates an actual demand, so that all the dealer need do is to say, “You can buy it here.” In other lines, the advertising identifies the product in the possible buyer’s mind, arouses his in- terest in it and establishes his confi- dence in the maker, upon which the dealer can cash in by his own sélling efforts. But with unadvertised goods, the re- tailer must start from scratch, Retailers who favor nationally ad- vertised lines believe in selling what the public wants. They are a growing mass. : Retailers who favor unadvertised lines believe in selling what they want the public to buy. They are a dwindling class. The ranks of these latter retailers are rapidly growing smaller because most of them are learning that public confidence is the basis of successful sel- ling; that quick turnover is a shorter and surer road to profit than long dis- counts on _slow-moving, dust-gathering goods; that even those customers who appear to swallow their selling talk on unadvertised merchandise have a dis- couraging way of not coming back for more, Just the other day a paint and vare nish dealer in California wrote to a manufacturer in the Middle West whose name is known through national advertising wherever varnish is used, “We are discontinuing our other lines and hereafter will center our efforts upon (mentioning the name of the ga}ker’s product) because'the demand or it.” About the same time a printer in a northern Ohio city was telling his pap- per jobber that thereafter he intended to standardize on a certain nationally advertised make of bond paper be- cause “everybody knows it, and it is so easy to sell.” And a druggist who carries packaged chocolates stated that he stocked only the nationally known makes, with the exception of one make well known 10- cally, because all he had to do was hand out what the customer asked for and take the money. Ten years ago—yes, even five—the manufacturer’s salesman who went around to the trade and talked about his firm’s national advertising was like- ly to be met with the statement that it would be a lot better if his concern took the money it was putting into ad- vertising and used it to enlarge dis- counts to the trade. Today, the fact that he is a real na- tional advertiser is a tremendous asset with the trade to any manufacturer, and his salesman’s portfolio of adver- tising is as important as—very "fre- quently more important than— his sample case. { Published by the New Britain Herald in co-operation with the American Association of Advertising Agencies THE HERALD HAS BY FAR THE LARGEST CIRCULA- TION OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW BRITAIN It is the Only Local Newspaper W\ith An Audited Circulation Danny Meets The Boss AND WHAT ARE “You GOING To BE WHEN You GROW LP.To BE A MAN- A LAWYER OR DOCTOR, OR WHAT * | HAVEN'T DECIDEDYET ALL RIGHT, GULL- THUAT'S A ) BARGAIN— 1 QUIT th YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DADDY, DON'T You P THAT'S WHAT EVERY BODY S5AYS BUT | CAN'T HELP 17!
