I A Frank Statement As a business man you must realize that our advertising would be a foolish waste of money if we ! only succeeded in selling one “WHITE STAG” to each smoker who tried’them. Our advertising of the “White Stag” Extra Mild is based on our experience that if one gets a “White Stag” into the smoker’s mouth, we have made a steady “White Stag” smoker. " t This cigar makes its many friends because it has all the good qualities of the other good cigarsand none of their faults. Try One Today Then You’ll Smoke ’Em Every Day Any Place One Nickel ■

ATTRACT WOMEN TO YOUR STORE They Do Most of the Family Shopping. KEEP TO THEIR STANDARD They are More Observing Than Men and Will Not Make Their Purchases in Disorder and Confusion —lmmaculate Array of Goods Pleases Them—The Shiftless Merchant Fails.

[Copyrighted, 1914, by Thomas J. Sullivan.) An acorn Is not an oak when It U sprouted. It must go through long sum inert and fierce winters and en dure all the frost and snow and than der and storms and side striking winds before It is a tail grown oak. Not Half a Man. So man Is not a man when he Is created. He Is only Jwrt begum His manhood must come with years. He who travels through life prosperous and goes to bls grave without a wrinkle is not half a man. Difficulties arc God’s errands nnd trainers, and only through them can one attain to the fullness of manhood. And what a chimera Is man, what a confused chase, what a subject ol contradiction—a proposed Judge of all things and yet a feeble worm of the earth; the great depository and guardtan of truth and yet a mere huddle Os uncertainty; the glory and scandal of the universe! Women Greatest Shoppers. Man Is n sort of dependent creature, and that Is why woman took him tn ehargo and relegated hlin to ttie rear of the procession, at least so far as the purchasing ngent of the home necessaries goes. Some extravagant guesser has guessed that 80 per cent of all retail buying is done by women. We guess that that guess Is too high. Men have more to do with the family shopping than they are often willing to have their wives, daughters and sisters admit to friends. Men are the court of last resort. and the case Is often reversed, as the exchanged and returned goods department of almost any store can testify. Perhaps the excuse of these departments would be largely reduced if the stores were made more attractive to men, if it were less unusual and less embarrassing for them to shop. Oer tain ft Is that, even though the women make 80 per cent of the family pup chases, the men must be catered to In any store that Is to succeed. Women Very Observing. But, primarily, the stores are for women. They make up the majority of every merchant's customers. For them the rigtit merchandise must be secured; to them the merchant must meke bis appeal. Just as surely as women are naturally tnore observing than men. just so surely will the merchant make the mistake of his life if be attempts to WE'LL WASH EVERYTHING BUT the baby. And we guarantee you satisfactory work, or it don’t cost you a cent. Decatur Laundry. DON'T BUY YOUR TIRE OUT OF town until you get our prices. We can do just as well in prices as any one anywhere.

run bis store m a sloppy, stipsuoo way. The successful store must be kept up to the woman’s standard. Many men who are gond merchants tn other respects fall here and then wonder why they do not get the trade —wonder why It goes to the big city •tores or to the retail mstl order houses. Attractive Stares Win. Observing women who are careful •nd conscientious housekeepers are •ot going to buy in disorder and confusion. One way a merchant can place himself out of reach ot competition Is to make bls store so conspicuous for Its attractiveness, its cleanliness, its immaculate order, its con venlence for women, that even the most particular of the sex will show her delight In it This Is the most effective and least expensive advertising a merchant can do. lu tile business work! ot today there ' is no place for a weakling. Business 1 fa u man's game and must be played In a man's wny. Shiftless Merchant Fails. Tlie failure of the merchant who : keeps a dirty, sloppy store, in an Indolent shiftless way, means another revolution of the wheel of progress. His trip to the scrap faenp Is for the general good, for the betterment and advancement of the industry he would keep In disrepute That man is al ■ ready on the greased side of the tobog gan. It Is but a question of titne when ■ • you will hear him fait ‘ Woman's keen eye soon sorts out the storekeeper from the real alive, op to 1 date merchant and It does not take ■ her any great length of time to forget that the dead, sleepy storekeeper ever existed, and be Is so dumb and brain ■ less that bo can’t account for the loss t of her trade. She Will Tell Him. 1 Let him ask any woman in bis town why ho failed to get her trade, and 1 she can and will soon tell-film that tb< ’ sooner such a business man or store 1 keeper as he retires and leaves the field to bls more progressive competitor the better It will be for himself and i the entire community. 1 — — — r Yhe Poor Dear! > Mr. Binks—Why so unhappy? t Mrs. Binks—l bate that Mrs. Next Door with a deadly bate, and I’m per- . lectly miserable over It. , Mr. Binks—But she doesn’t know it , Mrs. Binks—That’s why I’m unhappy, j • -Chicago Press.
