His "Ten Commandments' . !
Won Wealth on Prairie.
Most merchants, in opening a. store,
hunt for a- suitably prosperous com
munity in which to locate it. But Jim
Tbackery opened his on a prairie and
permitted a town to "coagulate"
around it. Jim Thackery's store was
opened in Cleveland. OkUu, when
Cleveland consisted solely cf his store.
rnacKery is now wortn nan a mil
lion, - but even in the days when lie
and hia family were the entire com
munity he did a fair trade.
There was a population in Cleve
land, even if there wasn't a commu
nity, but it was an awfully transient
population. New "York has quite a
reputation for a transient (popula
tion, but it never could hold a candle
to Jim Thackery's locality in the old
days for transientness. The popula
tion was transient at that spot be
cause it was always traveling from
Kansas City to Texas, or from Texas
to Kansas City. It paused at what
is now Cleveland only to take a deep,
breath before fording the Arkansas
river or to do a little trading In Jim's
store.
Jim was twenty-two at that time.
He lived with his uncle and "aunt, andl
they were all poor together.
His inventory showed such, items
as groceries, clothing, guns and am
munition, tobacco, pipes and blan
kets. The store was Just a one
room log hut built between the river
and the higher hills, far enough up so

that the annual floods would not waiter
his stock nor bring too many " floating
assets Into his business. . -
His customers were Indians and
others, but principally Indians. The
classification "others' Included . cattle
drovers, freighters and trappers. For
quite a while Jim was unpopular with
f h xrhitA Tiomilatlnn of that crenera.!
section of the map. They thought he
"business ideas." But gradually that
attitude wore Itself out,
Jim Thackery didn't know much
about the "science of merchandising"
when he opened his log hut to the
Indian trade, but he had a pretty firm
grasp on certain fundamental business
principles. He calls them his "Ten
3om.mandmeki.ts of Business.' and
seta them forth in this manner:
. First. Thou shalt not wait J for
something to turn -up, but thou shalt I
pull off thy coat and go to work that
thou may est prosper in thy affairs
and make the word "failure" spell
"success.--
Second. Thou shalt not be content
to go about thy business looking like
a bum, but thou shouldst know that
thy personal appearance is betetr than
a letter of recommendation.
Third. Thou shalt not try to make
excuses, nor shalt thou say to those
who chide thee. "I didn't think.
Fourth. Thou shalt not wait to be
told what thou shalt do, nor in what
manner thou shalt do it, for thus may
thy days be long in the Jot which
fortune hath given thee.
Fifth. Thou shalt not fail to main
tain thine own Integrity, nor shalt
thou be guilty of anything that will
lessen thy good respect for thyself.
Sixth. Thou shalt not covet the oth
er fellow's Job, nor his salary, nor ;the
position that he hath gained by his
own hard labor. -
Seventh. Thou shalt not fall to live
within thy income, nor shalt thou con
tract any debts when thou canst not
see thy way clear -to pay them.
Eighth. Thou shalt not be afraid to
blow thine own horn, for he who fall
eth to blow his own horn at the pro
per occasion findeth nobody standing
ready to blow it for him.
Ninth. Thou shalt not hesitate to
say "no" when thou- meanest "no,"
nor shalt thou fail to remember that
there are times when it is unsafe to
bind thyself to hasty judgment.
Tenth. Thou shalt give every man
a square deal. This is the last and
great commandment, and there is no
other like unto it. Upon this com

Retires After Selling
Eight Million Toys, n.
After making a record of selling
8,000,000 toys in six years, A. P. Breni
lser, of Reading Pa, has retired from
business and la now looking fjar some
other field to conquer. He believes
that he has worked the "toy game"
dry and is perfectly willing for other I
people to take it up where he left off.
When he sarted But Brenlser rented
a store room sixteen by forty feet in
size out of the high rent district of
Reading, in a section where only ad
vertising could make a business a suc
cess. TLater he moved into a build
ing with three stories and a basement
and was hard pressed for room at that.
As his original capital he had $2,000,
two show windows and two eyes that
saw every possible opening for busi
ness. "If you interest the child, you will
soon get the father and the mother."
Was the motto he followed. Therefore,
with his newspaper advertising, his
windows and his novelties Brenlser
used too picture shows and their ad
vertising slides, billboards and an ex
tensive mailing list which, he obtained
thrrtdeh making deliveries.
Postcards mailed to children seldom
failed to bring repeat orders and ev
ery now and then Brenlser would
mail out hundreds of Invitations to
holiday openings, distributing souven
irs to the children. In the last place-
likewise In the first Brenlser kept
track :of the proper way of figuring
profits and the exact amount of his
tnmvr. na that he would not only
know that the business was going well
but how well 1 was going.
mm it is remembered that Read
inc hna only about 110,000 people. It
will be seen that Brenlser sold more
than seventy toys to every person in
Reading in the six years oi ms uugi
ness. or an .average of twelve a year
not nprflnn.
He never let anad go stale, and no
ruv .nace. movies or otner meai
ums was neglected by this enterpris
onr after toy buyers. ' His re
tirement has left a gap in the toy
trade of Reading, but, his success has
firmly impressed upon tne meriuBuu
of that city the value of consistent
and persistent advertising.
Price-Tagged His
Store Into Profits.
Hugh MtfWilllams success dates
from the night ho slipped outside his
store and overheard the remarks of
two men who stopped to look in the
Window and passed on.
It was all a question of the little
price tags which were not there.
"When he had moved his stock of
clothing, trunks and gents' furnish
ing goods to the new location in Mi
ami, CXkla.. he had high hopes, for
there was room and to spare for an
other such establishment. He was a
good salesman and he employed com
petent clerks. He brought with the
name of "a good man to deal with."
One evening after closing hours, ho
banoened to be standing in front of
his store when two men stopped for
a moment to admire the really splen
did values there displayed.
"Great stuff, that," said one. "Just
look at that brown suit, that shirt, that
pair of shoes and that tie" pointing at
each in turn. "Wouldn't that make a
swell outfit?"
'It sure would, answered his
friend, "but he's got no mark on them
to show what hey were priced a. They
probably cost more than we could
pay.",
Hehad solved the problem, People
wished to see the price of an article
that struck their fancy, and not be
compelled to ask for it. Yes, he had
a good stock, splendid value, attract
ive displays, , but they were not
"marked."
That was all very well for his old
home town, where every one knew
him and his reputation for square
dealing, but it wouldn't work in this
"city of strangers."
McWilliams has not only his window
display plainly" priced, but each and
every article in the store, no matter
how insignificant. All who enter may
read. -
The first month after "decorating"
his stock with price tags his trade
increased fully 20 per cent. And since,
in six months, it has doubled.
