Independent Grocers Adjust Themselves To Chain Competition Although modern big business methods are popularly auppoeed to hare drlren the Independent merchant to rlrtual hiding, etatlstlcs show that last year 66 of the nation's food bill waa paid to the 40,000 Independent merchants and only half, as much to the chain atorea, writes Jesse Halnsford Sprague, noted business commentator, In the current Rotarlan magailne. If you bellere a small bualneaa-ma- n hasn't a chance against the competition of big, corporate business, hare a talk with Mr. Jones, the groceryman around the corner," Mr. Sprague advisee. "Hla seems a pretty hopeless situation. Yet ha manages to pay his bills and keep going." While he undoubtedly has some tough competition from hla mammoth adversaries, Mr. Sprague points out, he has a lot of advantages as well. His being a "home town" man Is a great asset; his flexibility to meet chanting local conditions and his ownership and Its influence on hla own efforts are all in his favor. Many Independents live In the same building with theli business which Is a decided advantage for the independent merchant. In fact, Mr. Sprague adds; "The nt most successful dont grocers have any special grudge against their big business competitors. Some even consider It an advantage to have a ehaln store near them, because the chain store draws transient customers. For example, a friend of mine In a good-size- d New England town told me that when the chain store next door to him closed because a two big supermarket opened blocks away, his sales dropped off 910 a day." Mr. Sprague warns However, against starting In business with too little capital the outstanding enemy of all small businesses. In the grocery line, he advises at least 92,500 Invested with another 91,000 available Just in case! And yet he points out cases of successful operation on as littls as 9250; but unless you are a business genius as In the cases cited, he advises against trying to duplicate this.

Governor-ele- ct Maw Is an ardent New Dealer, a supporter of President Roosevelt, and a champion of the welfare of the irr of the people, as shown by his record In the Utah legislature, for he has fought special privilege In favor of the common man at every turn In the State, and Is recognized as the leading opponent to machine rule" in Utah.
