THE ORIGIN OF, "rEMNANT-DAy.'

A few years ago large stores were con-
fronted by serious problem in making
the proper disposition of the odd lots,
left-overs and other remnants when ag-
sresate a considerable volume OF mer-=
chandise in the course OF Z week, $ busl-
ness So far as Richmond is concerned,
this complex question has been happily
decided by The Meyer Store, B'ousilee
and Broad Streets. which is the acknoWi-
edged representative department store OF
the South. The plan of the Meyer store
is to collect all small pieces, remnants
and goods furnished, bent, rumpieds
rnussed or otherwise not justas they came
from the manufacturer. All this takes
place Thursday night, which is really
the time set aside for inspection OF the.
whole store, and some of the highest
class goods must be strictly up 10 the
mark or have their dignity lowered the
next day, Remnant Day" All these.
goods are sold at ridiculously small
prices. mostly for advertising purposes,
and merchandise without a benish Is
frequently put in Friday-Remnants DAY
TO NAL Ike greater the day The Meyer Store
has made great.
