Failures.
"While
the
grass
is
growing
the
horse
is
starving;"
and
thus,
while
the
new
district
is
becoming
peopled
the
funds
of
the
small
shopkeeper
are
gradually
eaten
up,
and
he
puts
up
his
shutters
just
at
the
time
when
a
more
cautious
speculator
steps
in
to
profit
by
the
connection
already
formed,
and
to
take
advantage
of
the
new
improved
condition
of
the
locality.
It
seems,
therefore,
desirable
for
the
small
capitalists
rather
to
run
the
risk
of
a
more
expensive
rent,
in
a
well-peopled
district,
than
to
resort
to
places
of
slow
and
uncertain
demand;
for
the
welfare
of
the
small
shopkeeper
depends
entirely
upon
the
frequency
with
which
his
limited
stock
is
cleared
out
and
replaced
by
fresh
supplies.

Precautions.
But
should
the
small
capitalist
still
prefer
opening
in
a
suburban
district,
where
competition
is
less
severe,
and
rents
and
rates
less
burdensome,
there
are
certain
precautions
which
he
will
do
well
to
observe.
He
should
particularly
guard
against
opening
a
shop
to
supply
what
may
be
termed
the
superfluities
of
life;
for
the
inhabitants
of
new
suburban
districts
are
those
who,
like
himself,
have
resorted
to
a
cheap
residence
for
the
sake
of
economy.
Or
if
this
be
not
the
case--if
they
are
people
of
independent
means,
who
prefer
the
"detached
villa"
to
the
town
house,
squeezed
up
on
both
sides,
they
have
the
means
of
riding
and
driving
to
town,
and
will
prefer
choosing
articles
of
taste
and
luxury
from
the
best
marts,
enriched
by
the
finest
display.
