A member of the leading dry
goods firm in New York said: “For
the year 1886 we shall send out no
traveling salesmen—as I am satisfied
advertising pays best and is leas ex-
pensive.’’ He further remarked:
“When losses by had debts made
by salesmen on the road, and claims
allowed for orders not agreeing with
prices and samples are taken into ac-
count, together with the large trav-
eling expenses. there is no profit in
this kind of business, and we shall
abandon it. We will advertise ex-
tensively and reach the trade through
this channel.” Another of the large
dry goods firms have no salesmen on
the road, and gives as a reason that
the outlay exceeds the profit. The
matter of expense is receiving thor-
ough attention in the dry goods in-
terest, and is a move in the right di-
rection. Salaries have been reduced
on an average of ten per cent.
There has also been a reduction in
the working force, and finally, the
question of traveling expenses has
been duly considered. With west-
tern jobbing firms this class of ex-
penses is the largest of all, and the
hou-cs transacting a medium trade
do it almost wholly on the road The
system is a poor one at best, as the
jobber never conies in personal con-
tact with fully half of his customers,
who are led and controled by the
visiting salesmen. Business done in
this manner is too much one-sided,
as the jobber does not acquire the
necessary knowledge of customers,
which is requisite for giving judici-
ous credits. In place, therefore, of
travelers, insert judicious advertise-
ments, offer inducements liberal and
effective, and there will be a change
for the better.
There must be system, however,
in this change, otherwise it will be
of little avail. Advertising is as im-
portant a department of business as
any other. If done in a spasmodic,
haphazard manner it will prove a
failure, as much as other loose,
slipshop methods. Firms that have
amassed large fortunes

owe their
chief success to a wise and liberal
use of printer’s ink. Buyers well
posted know where the best goods
are sold at lowest prices, and adver-
tisers who carefully study their own
interests discriminate in favor of
journals whose circulation will prove
of greatest benefit.
Mr. Sam Star who conducts the
advertising department of his estab-
lishment attributes his success to
printer’s ink. By this channel, and
with strict adherence to the truth,
he has placed the Star Store on a
footing which no competitor can
reach. Wbst jhe Star Store adver-
tises they will always perform, and
by adhearing to this policy, they
have built up a trade that is second
to none in the state.
Purchasers should not fail to close-
ly observe every thing that the Star
Store has to say to them in their ad-"
vertising notices, Jo this issue of
the Gazetteer they invite special
attention to their line of spring and
summer goods which cannot be car-
ried over, and must be sold. Great
bargains will be given. You will
do yourself an injustice if you fail to
call at the Star Store and look over
the stock and see the inducements
offered to the public.
