(Copyrighted. I9H. by Thomas J Sullivan.) Cleanliness is next to godliness and 1 is indeed a duty. Even from the 1 body's purity the mind receives secret ‘ sympathetic aid So great is the effect of cleanliness upon man that it extends even to bis ’ moral character. I Virtue never dwelt long with filth, nor do I believe that there ever was a person scrupulously attentive toclean liuess who was a consummate villain. But cleanliness In commercialism is the most to be admired. Not Sufficiently Attractive. An unclean, a disorderly store can not hope to make a big success in these days of advancement One ot the principal reasons why rural cod- ( surners Dave gone to the large city stores and retail mail order bouses is because some ot the borne stores have not been sufficiently attractive. They have' lacked both in orderliness and cleanliness The successful merchant is the one who not only keeps his store up to the point of a man s Idea of cleanliness, but also up to the woman’s standard of perfection and strange as It may. I seem, dirty people do not like to trade] I in a dirty store, and a cleanly person will never trade in a dirty store if be can help it. and the chances are a bun ] dred to one be can help it. The retail mail order bouses show in their every move thorough recogni- | tion of ttie fact that woman has be come tke purchasing agent fur the American borne. The successful merchant Is the one who has discovered what women want and in what form they want It displayed Women Enjoy Looking Around. A woman enters a store much as a I man enters a theater—both are willing to be interested. Women enjoy look ing j The store which makes looking easl ' est and its display the freshest and most varied goes a long way toward inducing her to confine ber shopping to

that one store. The success of retail mall order bouses peaces that shoppers enjoy leisure in their inspection of goods which they propose purchasing, as! their immense catalogues are but a c is play of their wares and can be studied at leisure and ideas formed as to Just how the actual goods themselves would correspond with the attractive Ulus j trnted I , WE’LL WASH EVERYTHING BUT, the baby.

The catalogue bouse is hundreds ot miles away, asks payment in advance. , causes the consumer endless delays, talks in print about mere pictures ot goods, but in «plte of all these disadvantages it do.-s interest and convince by means of its displays in its cata fugues and the opportunity ot the shopper to “shop undisturbed. st * The up to date retailer Is persistently asking people to tiny tils goods, not by constantly boring them with spoken or written questions, but simply by the] method and manner in whieb bls goods are displayedst st His goods must talk for bim, and' talk effectually, and the language must be wordless. * “ But the pulling power of price and quality will not overcome the handicap of a dirty, disorderly stock and store. I * Cobwebs and trade were never good friends. kt it They clash whenever they meet Don’t let them meet. Cleanliness an Asset. Dust is a parasite that eats into profits Don’t throw away your prof its.

Untidiness and nncleanliness are I not alone found among some mer : chants, but they are too often found in the home, the professional man’s ■ office, the hotel and on the farm as well, and I sometimes think men ano women so thoughtless and shiftless must have cobwebs on their brains. r f Then. too. sueeess never dwells with r.utldiness Whn-h shall it tw?
