Qood work has just oeen accom-
plished by the Better Business Cont-

of a group of half-a-dozen noute-
to-house canvasser, selling hosier.”.
These salesmen used ss an argu-
ment tor selling tlftlr good, not
only a good line of ta'k but also
a demonstration with a nail-file,
said demonstration being alleged by
them ' lo prove the exception
ytrengen and -durability of th*
hosiery. In making this alleged test
the nail-tile Is slipped inside of
the stocking, pushed down to the
toe and then drawn rapkrty up-
ward. Thi. makes a sound a*- if
the nail file were ripping tt .<b-
lip. But the file I. quit* smo lb at
the point and despite the ripping
sound it in no wise indicate, any-
thing as to the'strength'of the fab
rid. In abort, the alleged rest ft
»o' lost whatever. The swindle iiss
in the fact that th<t salesman; wells

Higher price than they could be
bought for In any store.
On investigation the Boston Bet-
tor Business Commission found thm
these canvasaeis were fiojng a tre-
mendous business by the aid of thi
nail-file test.
"The Texas Retail Dry Goods As-
sociation." said F E. Morris*, exc
cutlvc secretary. "Is trying to in
duce the local mercbaw** in each
town and city, to get i
laws passed as will adequately lax
the itinerant merchant and the
peddler, but first the state law will
have to be changed. Tl e attention
of legislators will be culled to the
rank injustice suffered uy local, n er-
chants who have to tuffci' many
forms of unfair competition. The
local merchant Is a builder in th,'
community, he employ, your peoi le.
Ae pay. hft taxes, he supports «I1
of your civic and charitable insti-
tutions. Your local people suffer
when they buy from irresponsible

moves in seasonally ■ tc reap the
berefit of crop money, etc. If (h-»
goods of the merchant who .moves

people have no redress. Itiuy as
well «« the merchant should Ti-

and the guarantee becomes nothing
but “blue sky" wjicn tile goods (nil

do. Local merchants a>'<h always to
be found, and do not -(Misrepresent
taeir good* When they have guo<ft
that they must sell l-cc.ause the
public demands thoso goods, they
usually have a sign in their store,
o!r state to the customers that the
goods are not guaranteed.”
“Thousands of cases come urder

people have been mute led on .tar-

“There is not the slightest rea-
son why adequate control and su-
pervision should not be had of these
itinerants, nor why they should not
be adequately taxed."

YOUR GAS SERVICE ”
PLANNED YEARS AGO
C1 That you may enjoy the blessings of natural gas, service is planned years ahead.
Gas wells are uncertain. They decrease in quantity and pressure or fail entirely. •
The demand for gas is equally uncertain. Mild weather means little «as consumed—a
“norther” means a demand for the maximum quantity on an hour’s notice.
Remember this about natural gas—when you want it every one else in this part ©f
the state wants it. ,
