brief for immedinte use—and to
thool hibraries, few of whiclh possess
the means for buying expensive
books, this little compendium is
priceless
Besides an outline history of the
ttate, it enumerates the various
military organizations which par
ticipated in the hostilities, and
gives the names of Georgia officers
and soldiers on the roll of hono
the names of general officers of the
Confederate army appointed fron
Georgia, a complete list of the en.

INDIVIDUALITY IS A FACTOR.
E€mall Merchant Who Depends Upon
Ctherg to RKun His Business Will
Prove a Failure—Question of Buying
Stock Important. o
After all, individuality = counts in
business as in other things. System
i$ uecessary, as are all the mechuanica!
aids, but above and beyond these suc
cess or failure depends on the man,
The personal equativy cannot be neg
lectedd. ~ Mére rules will never take
the place of the character, manner,
method, clhiarm, magnetism ‘and inti
mwate teuch with customers that be
long to the merchant himself. 'This is
true even of the great departinent
stores of the cities. One man suc
cexds, while another fails, yet their
outer metheds, the mere machinery
of their business, are not largely dit
ferent, at least so far as appearances
go. It is the animating spirit, the soul
behind the muachine, that in the last
analysis is the deterwining factor
There ure frequent little turning points
in a business as well as in a nation
where a slight change of direction, a
featber’s weight in the scuales, may be
decisive. 1t is Lere that the individual
counts. Emerson has said thuat an in
stitution is *“the lengthened shadow
of a man,” and it is equally true that
a business concern reflects the nature
of some dominant personality. This is
especially true of the village or coun
try store. In it the merchant comes
into personal touch with his customers,
he buys goods, arranges the stock, di
rects the advertising and shapes his
business in a huszdred ways. His spir.
it animates it. Ee alone is the arbiter
of its fate. He determines its success
or failure.
’ In the last analysis the winning of
home trade depends c¢n the individus!
merchant. There are certain general
| rules that can be luid down. certain
l methods that can be outlined, certain
- guggestions that can be made, but be
, yond these tke merchant himself iy
| the trade winner and trade holder. If
l hie has the knack of it, the kuow of it,
be will win in spite of catalogue
houses, city competition, rivals in busi
ness and all other obstacles. His en
ergy, his methods of buying, of cutting
corners, of keeping accounts, of dis
’ playing goods, of advertising, of tell
ing his customers the truth, of win
| ning their confidence aud triendship,
of selling and buying for cash or as
I uearly so as possible—all these things
and many more that are peculiarly bis
own will determine what sort of a
stisiness he builds up and wmalntains,
This line of thought was suggested
by a sentence from an address of Med:
ford Walls of Church Hiil, Md., on
“How to Conduct a Country Store
Mr. Walls deals with his subject ip
such u sensible maunner that his talk
is comimented on and largely quoted
by James C, Henry in the Cleveland
Leader. Here is the seuntence that
struck my owun eye:
“Back of all rules that may be laid
down there must be a certain individ
uality, and so fair as my observation
, goes 1 find it true that the man who
Idues not run his own business, but
leaves it solely in the hands of his
!clel'l;s. will either not miake a success
Lor else will svon have none to run.”
The clerk in the big department
store is, for the vast wmajority, the
wnly point of contact that is had with
!“the powers that be.!™ And likewise
in the country store the clerk is sec
ond in importance only to the pro
prietor, [for this reason Mr., Walls
iinsists that the small merchant should
have “as oxperienced and capable help
[t}d the business will justify.”
| Awd the practice once upon a time
80 largely in vogue of exaggerating
*the quality of goods is now relegated
» to the past, along with haphazard and
| uncouth arrangement of the stock.
y Modern store ftixtures, with their ac
‘compunying cleanliness, have replaced
the former, or should. and’ it is bet
ter to miss a sale than to have a cus
tomer tell us we have misrepresent
ed” is now the rule of business of the
- successful merchant, whether his
)store is a ten story building or a sin
igle room at ‘‘the crossroads.”
In his advice Mr. Walls lays em.
‘phasis on the question of buring,
Iwhlch by some is said to be of more
importance than being able to sell.
“He says: “We will never be able to
buy to the best advantage until we
«have established a reputation for pay
) m‘nts.”
. Another condition which the “new”
country merchant has completely
overturned is the matter of credit.
His prototype almost without excep
tion followed the ‘*‘unlimited” plan,
' Six months was probably the average
time before “John Smith” would set
tle his account, or it might be a year.
~ But this was not business accerding
to the modern meaning of the term.
*“A customer ought not to expect it,”
says Mr. Walls.
:' Advising ‘ the country merchant to
advertise liberally, Mr. Walls declares
‘that the time has come when he must
follow out some system in keeping
count of his expenses and profits. It
i 8 as much a part of the new era as
is the discarding of the *free lunch”
cracker barrel.
This system of keeping account of
everything that has to do with the
business and being able to Jay one's
finger on any detall, however trivial
it may seem at first sight, is one of
the keynotes of “How to Conduct a
Country Store Successfully.”
