OF a store will be heard Of,
approved and adopted by
thrifty people all over the
country The answer is short
and easy. 1t must have what
they want and sell as they
want to buy.
1t must know the whole
range of its merchandise. No
one man can do that. There
must be as many managing
men as classes Of things to
know about. Call them BUYERS.
A buyer must know his
goods. That means more than
you think. He must get the
best in the world for the
money. How can he pick
out the best without knowing
all, comparing all, turning
pounds, francs, piasters, marks,
rupees, into dollars, comput-
ing duties, freights, expenses.
He must know wearing quail
ties, fashions, changes, changes
in makers as well as materials.
What he must have in his
stock every day is his choice
out of all the world. He
must choose for all sorts of
people. uses and tastes. Who
ever his customer, he must be
suited, whatever he wants;
suited better than he knows
how to suit himself.
Such is the stock ola ilItieth
part Of the store.
Having got such a stock he
must keep it fresh and new
and choice with customers
pickingitover every day. That
calls for management. Sales.
men have to be taught. All
this picking and choosing
against his stock must be done
through a dozen or score or
hundred statesmen. All this
helping ignorant customers
get what they ought to have
in spite of themselves must be
done through statesmen.
There is just one way to do
it. The store must fiave a
spirit as well as bone and
muscle The multitudinous
goods and fifty buyers and
hundreds or thousands of
statesmen and other helpers
constructive bone and muscle.
The spirit is the motive back
of them all.
"Themotive, you are think
ing, lis profit. Better than
that and wiser. The motive
is not the fruit Of success but
the means Of success. The
spirit Of hclpfulness-that is
the motive TO prompt every
one in the store from boy to
master.
There must be this unity,
not another: hclpfulness. Ser

Considering that Mr.. Reavor- Webb

Philadelphia's city tax rate this year is
$l.S5 per hundred on an assessment of
$6ls, OOO,O 900. The Times of that city
figures 10000 buildings in the munich
pality, giving an average valuation of
So, $50 per building and making the aver
age tax on the same 500. To this must
be added $40 year, water rent, bringing
the average up to $40 per year, or very
nearly SO per month. This would be
ample for all legitimate municipal ex-
penses, were it not that in Philadelphia,
as in Wilmington, one-third of the pro-
ceeds Of taxation is absorbed in carrying
the load of debt that accumulated in pre-
vious years before the people sat down on
the running in debt policy. As it is the
Times thinks the tax rate will not yield
the revenues actually needed and that it
would have been wiser financiering to
place it at ~ on the hundred.
