MODERN CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.
How Great Store Manages Its Ma

How a Great Store Manages Its Ma
 chinery in This Age.
 It's a lesson ill the modern progress of merchandising to go into gr''at store nowadays
 There's the Gamble-D Desmond Co.'S big establishment for example. i'll its brave Christmas dress of I'd and greeA. Take a walk up and down the broad aises any time nf tHe day and watch tho crowds; watch the people as they do their Christmas shopping. Note how admirably tho crowds are handled at every une of the busy cuuntcrsi with what judgment the various de- partmcnts are arranged so that those that attract the biggest Christmas crowds do not conflict and thus cause congestion in any one par, ot the store
 Then there's another thing, how clear and fresh the air is in this great, high ceiingized place wherever you go, | whether in the basement where the toys, the china ard bric-a-brac are kept and where the crowds gather every minutes, ur in the tcpmOst floor in the interesting picture gallery, the millinery salon and the upholstery sec ton.
 This is perhaps ere of the most rr- markable features of this remarkably vitiated.
 Those people who are obliged to wait several days for the goods they have bought, only they know the in | convenience of a badly managed de- 1 livery department. This feature and q l most important one it is in the con- l duct of a great store, is one of the strongest attractions toward shopping at the Gamble-DesmOnd Co.'S store | Even now in this terrific strain of the | holiday rush, when thousands of pack ages pass through the delivery and shipping room every day, the delay in | getting goods to their destination is scarcely more than a few hours. So well is this department managed here 1 that the deck is literally cleared for ac- ton between each delivery. Of course it means herculean effort on the part of the delivery manager, hours of work overtime in the early morning and at night. too, after the store is closed.
 And all these things are the dOings l VI h'f-iIlIA tliN F'INAtE"' 1tO IlAbliN knows nothing of them, sees nothing of them. 1t is the machinery, tine 1 technique, without which the stur,. would be only a mediocre, common 1 place store to which d great public would never be attracted despite fine display on the surface.
 As for the store itself this Christ mas, it is at it's best, all in green and holly red, thousands of yards of roping fes- tooned on walls and pillows, making perhaps the most effective Christmas dress they have ever had yet; an im- provement oV' past decorations in that the space directly over the aisles is kept clear, with better facilities for all lowing the air to circulate.
 The various stocks are superbly equipped. including not only the Christ mas stocks, tohse that practically dis appear after the holidays, but the regular departments with their wealth of standard, reliable goods, the kind that has made the Gamble Desmond Co.'S store noted throughout the state as the department store reliable
