A too common mi* take ia tha' -her«
ii jwl so moth business to be had in a
town, and tha- your competitor cut*
the trade in haif.
That s not *rue. As a general rule
the more tradesmen he more trade. A
wide-awake com pet tor will increase
your business—provided, of course,
that you also are w,de-awake.
Two first-clans stores of any (rive*.-
character in a block are far better than
* monopoly would be for either
The place for a you:.* lawyer to lo-
cate is not in a 'own where there are
no lawyers, but a town where there are
many prosperous and good ones.
Where the long-irreen is to U- found
in sizeable bundles, there the forward,
looking basinets men are gathered to-
gether and where no bright-eye-: husi
nesk-buiiders are itaoding guard on
the watchtower of prvgreaa, there the
very aliment sor of pic*; . to be
found.
Competition doe* not kill trade. I

No one man can get all the f . - em

There's always a lot of h .-m. % f<
the other man, if he 'ri -« ir.tel gently,
to get it—in Lawto or #-Sseahere.
Don t shy from your competitor
and for goodness sake don't a« j . •
thai he is your foe Get a- . .ted
with h;m. He m' y teach you some-
thing.
Don't knock your ^rrpetit/^r. Do.
encourage buay-bodie* -*ho bnr/ you
tale* of him. Be a axld play the
game, always rememoerin* that whom
tbt unleashed fate* of fury would de-
stroy, they first make mad.
Beat your competitor to it if you can
—and the surest way, folks, to do this,
is to sell better gods, use fairer meth-
