OF the most Interesting processes to be seen
In the whole establishment. No matter
what they may be, the goods are taken into
what Is called the receiving room, which
occupies the entire top floor OF the new
building 90 by 1876 feet. They are sent up
there by an elevator on the Gallatln place
side OF the store. In this receiving room
they are changed from invoices to mer-
chandise ready for sale. According to their
character they are, put into compartments,
where skilled employees receive them. open
every package, count or weigh or test every
individual article TO see that the manufac-
turer has kept his word with the buyer,
mark the retail selling price on them, make
out tally sheet and send the goods to the
department In which they are to be sold.
In this receiving room begins the elaborate
system OF checking and cross checking by
which only can the proprletors OF the great
store prevent loss.
Every piece OF goods that goes to. a de-
partment Is charged TO IL and the depart

and many other things are kept in such
