THE POWER of style
"It's just what they're wearin'
on Fifth avenue" was u phrase
that an old time merchant used
often to employ. Apparently ha
found it useful in .selling goods.
Merchants frequently say that, it
helps them a lot in inducing cus-
tomers to take merchandise, to
assure them that tlio gocds are
precisely what is being worn in
big cities.
Modern elothun; is .standardized
to on astonishing degree, Ti'udo
publications that show the. latest
fashions are taken by phfcticpl*
ly every store that handles these
goods. The cross roads cothin^
shop in 8aiL Ueinardjno counjy,
California, and the one in Aniioa
took count>, Maine, see t ifnilar
publications illustrating the sty-
los. They are visited by sales-
men who feature similar lines.
Sci;ticnul tasted govern the
choice to some extent. But, in
the main you get the sumo fash-
ions in some place a.< tho other.
Tho big producers and whole-
salers would fall in six
months it' their merchandise was
behind tho game, or' did not cor-
respond with the thiugs being
used in New York and Chicago
and San Francisco.
Tlio result is that a live mor-
tliant, who advertises enough to
keep his stock moving, is bound
to havo new* stuff all the time.
Any enterprising stuito keeps
right, in touch with the modem
fashions, through tho stores iu a
place like Drumright will not go
into the ocOant^ic temporary
freaks that break out in big
cities, but which quickly pass out
cf sight. If you buy of a good live
dealer in your home town, your
apparel will look just as if you
bought it on Fifth avenue, New
York. 0£ course njivcne must
exercise seme judgment in mak-
ing purchases, but there is uo
place that sells moro freak stuff
than the big city stores.
Some oi the gudgeons how-
ever, still think they must pay
the high prices of metropolitan
ptores to get the modern looking
styles. Hut if they realized how
closely tho live stores all over
the country keep step with each
ether, they would never go away
from their home town for any
such purpose as this.
