A Permanent Institution.

A Permanent Institution.
do you consider the department store
permanent institution"
"Emphatically. yes. 1t is here to stay,
and there is no indication of a return ia
the old system"
Mr.. Woodward said he was aware Of a
prejudice in some quarters against depart
ment stores. but he did not know whether
this feeling was disappearing or increasing
He thought it not well founded.
Questioned by Mr.. Kennedy of the COM
mission, Mr.. Woodward stated that his eS-
Enlistment had not adopted the system OF
40 cents 80 cents. S499 scheme Of marking
goods. 1t would be bad taste, he declared
for him to state whether he thought such
system proper practice. 1t also ema-
mated from the Paris Bon Marche. IF we
sell for less than a dollar" said he, I'VE
sell for % cents"
By reason of the fact that department
stores buy directly from the manufacturers
wherever possible the jo6bers and middle
men are disappearing. The profit was
smaller now, however. than before this IN
termediate dealer dropped out. The public
gets the greater part of the saving. Mr..
Woodward also said that the scientific
methods in manufacturing at present in
vogue have done away with the low-class
of merchandise. The struggle now is to
produce something handsomer in design
than the other fellow.
Mr. Kennedy took the witness into the
field Of industrial combinations or trusts.
Mr. Woodward said the trusts had had no
particular effect upon his business, al
though he came in contact with them in
nearly all its branches. He told of the
glass combine making a proposition Of 30
much per cent rebate If all goods during
the year were purchased from their COM
bine. Such an arrangement precluded the
purchase of any glass article from outside
parties, and was not entered into. He said
goods we're secured from the trusts at no
reduction, unless such an arrangement be
made.
Buys From Trusts.
"Are you under compulsion to buy from
any of these combinations?''
81 am afraid SO. That is, we want to
supply our customers, and II they want
what the trust makes we pay the trust
price and get it. We never had a threat
from a trust"
DO you consider trusts beneficial?"
yes"
I'm what way?'
"In cheapening the cost Of production.
which results, generally speaking. in a re-
duction in the price to the consumer A
fair profit. wise management and legitf-
mate dealings all around form the basis
for good and successful commercial enter
prise 1t Is not always wise to buy at the
lowest price"
MIR Woodward said the trusts control no
staple articles exclusively. His hrm Is
compelled to buy from single establish
ment only in cases of articles covered py
a registered copyright or patent.
The present is a golden era in business.
The conditions are good in the south, Mr..
Woodward said. and elsewhere.
