The DRUMMER SYSTEM ON THE
WANE,


The Cincinnati Commercial says: "a
large number of wholesale merchants
have made up their minds that the
drummer system Of doing business has
been run into the ground, and they are
about to make change. They may
either greatly restrict, or abolish it alto
gether, in which latter event they will
depend upon regular advertising as a
channel through which to influence their
customers. Wholesale merchants, sew
eral years ago, seemed to think that be-
cause in one year sales amounted to
$780, 600, they must increase them the
next to twice that sum, and accordingly
sent agents all over the country to ''drum
up" the additional trade. These men
were paid immense salaries, and, until
the depression of business that followed
the panic of 1878 came upon the coun-
try, were no doubt valuable to their i'm
ployers. Recently, however, houses that
retained their former force, in anticipa-
ton of the immense trade of previous
years, have generally been doing "kill-
ing" business; and as the lessened de-
mand for this kind of agents and the
necessity of reducing expenses continue,
their services will be dispensed with.
Already number of prominent houses
are doing without drummers, as an ex-
pertinent A New York firm, which
was offered the choice of store on a
great thoroughfare, at $1,000, or one on
a quiet street, at $500, chose the latter,
and expended the $4,500 difference in
advertising. The consequence was, the
business and profits increased. A Chica-
go grocery house, that few years ago,
employed sixteen drummers, at an ex-
pence Of $4,000 year, and did profit
less business, has now abandoned the
drummer system, and spends $4,000 of
the sum in advertising, and divides the
balance among its customers. The bust
ness has increased tenfold, and in 1878,
the net profits were $4,000. In Mil
waukee number of the largest houses,
and in ST. Louis few houses, are fol-
lowing these examples. The Northwest
ern Lumberman says that in the lumber
business there is an antagonistic feeling
to selling through travellers. The prac-
tice was well enough so long as only a
few engaged in it, but as at present car
ried on, the best interests of neither the
seller or the buyer are secured"
