Having regard to the excellent marginof profit shown on all Nixon had sold,Jones agreed, and it was further ar-ranged that if the business continued asit had begun Nixons younger brother,who was looking for a start in the busi-ness world, should be brought in to doNixons former work, which the latternowr would not be able to find time for.(To be continued.) April 26, 1918. CANADIAN GROCER 113. THERE are some opportunities thatknock so loud that they simply cantbe neglected. That is about thesituation with the trench box idea at theholiday season. When everyone wasmaking a demand on the merchant forparcels to send to the front for Christ-mas, the idea began to interest him, andalmost everyone was doing some busi-ness in this line. With some merchantsit petered out, however. They thoughtit was not worth while bothering with,and simply dropped it. There are alarge body of merchants, however, whocontinued at the business even when op-portunities knock and become less im-portunate, but stuck with it and gavetheir customers a service that they ap-preciated throughout the entire year,and found to their satisfaction that inthe long run this service had paid themhandsomely. The customer appreciatesit, is glad of the assistance and sugges-tions that may be offered and has abetter feeling toward the store becauseof the service rendered. C. McCausland,
