WRITER in The Grocery Worldhas the following remedy for stop-ping the sampling of his goods : It has always been my custom since Ihave been in business here to expose vari-ous goods in their original packages in frontof my counter. I have taken considerablepains in making attractive displays of thesegoods, and have always believed that theyconstituted a good advertisement. I wouldexpose such goods as dried fruit, cakes andsometimes candy in buckets. In mostcases the lids were left off in order to makethe display more attractive. Such articlesas these would be attacked by everybodywho came in the store. I watched onewoman one day who had to wait a fewminutes for the filling of her order, andI actually saw her eat ten dried halvesof peaches. I weighed the same quantityafter she had gone, and discovered thatthey weighed nearly an eighth of apound, being of a very large size.
