MALTREATED STORE CLERKS.
The reputation which some large
stores get for being disobliging TO
their customers or having uncivil
clerks could in the majority of cases
be traced directly bsck to the shop
pers themselves" writes Edward
Box, of "Systemless Shopping" in
the November Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. II make no claim of perfection
for the clerks who stand chin the
counters of our great stors where
women shop. They are only com.
mon mortals, full of faults. But
considering what they are called
upon to 60 through and endure at
the hands of thoughtless women,
constant wonder 10 that they are 90
civil and obliging. If the truth
could be known Il would be found
that they suffer far more than they
inflict suffering. If the roll could
be called of hard. working, innocent
girls who have lost their positions
because of illfounded complaints
made by influential customers
whose accounts the firm could not
afford to lose, II would be a roll of
disgrsce to American shoppers.
The girls behind the counter are
humap-although from the actions
of some women We might believe
otherwise-human in their faults.
but also in their finer feelings. Very
often they represent better families,
better breeding, than that which is
revealed to them from the other
side of the counter"
