    BAITThe days of merchandising through the use of bait are

    passing. Modem stores are making it a policy more andmore to give consistent value, and depend on honest deal-logs.

    The lurid offers of city stores, holding out questionablebargains as bait to sell poor value goods; the chain store, "specials" which lure the housewife into the shop, so she canstagger home with a basketful of goods of an unknown, private brand-these selling features are less appealing todaythan they were.

    Year -in . and -year out value, unquestioned honesty,prompt service, complete stocks of known products, are thefeatures which appeal to sensible folks.
