EACTORY rs APPARENT
Minneapolis, IN order to Be Perfect Buying Center

advantages Which the Trade IN This IS
Section Is Entitled TO-.

It is the aim of the best business men
In Minneapolis to make of their city a
perfect buying center for the retail and
wholesale houses of the west and
northwest. To this end they are great
ly interested in securing for the city a
tremendous diversity of jobbing and
manufacturing interests. 1t has been
frequently pointed out in the journal IS
industrial page that the city will grow
apace as a buying center, as it will be-
come more and more unnecessary for
buyers in the west to go farther east
than Minneapolis to secure full stocks.
This condition will hold good when
Minneapolis jobbcrs feel justified in
carrying sufficiently large amounts of
merchandise to take care of all of the
northwestern trade, and when Minneap-
oils manufactures are sufficiently di-
versified and large enough to supply the
major part of the demands of the
northwest jobbing trade.
For many reasons this is so. There
is a saving to the retail and jobbing
houses in Minneapolis territory of the
mileage expenses of buyers from this
city to eastern points and back, and
also in living expenses while on buying
trips. The saving on freight is fire.

Local Business Large.
This paragraph points to the fact
that at least one Of the local factories
is pushing to hold trade in Minneapolis
territory. But the local business is not
to be sneezed at. An estimate OF the
average annual volume Of the down.
town house furnishing trade is ,00Qf
900 and for the city is $3.50, 600, with
an estimate for 1905 of 5000, 900 and
$8,00Q,000. A good proportion OF this
is furniture. q.
Among the heavy Minneapolis furni.
ture factories may be mentioned the
well-known names of the Barnard-Cope
Manufacturing company, Ford Manufac-
turing company, Grau-Curtis company,
Levin Brothers, Luger Furniture COM

Table company, Cree Dickson Manufac.

| Yet this goodly list does not get a
proper proportion Of the Minneapolis
and northwestern business. One reason
is incapacity to cope with the great de-
mand in turning out product and an
other is that diversity Of styles is not
} sufficient to keep buyers at home.
Furniture men believe there is no rea-
| son why furniture center such as ex-
; lists at Grand Rapids, Mich, may not
be established in Minneapolis, for there
: is the growing business to support it.
! The Grau-Curtis company is one Of the
first to make new move for increased
business. It is to put up four-story
: factory and office building at Central
, avenue and Seventh street NE to cost
; about $4,000. This is in the furniture
district and near the new $4,000 build

A Specific Need.
The necessity for more furniture fac
tories is being urged now as move
toward the end which is being sought
by business men, the Commercial club
and by other organized bodies and by
Individual rea! estate agents.
The need Of a chair factory has al
ready been described in this page.
of furniture factories additional compe-
tition and breadth Of diversity in
styles is sought. So long as furniture
stores and house-furnishing establish
stocks outside Of the city it is not q
good furniture manufacturing center
1t may be urged that sufficient va
riety in style is not offered by the Min
neapolis factories and that goods cal
be bought more cheaply in bulk else
where. If this be true it is simply al
argument for enough more factories t.
make more styles, sufficiently backet
with capital to sell at the best marke
prices. The Furniture Journal says:
Furniture distributing centers ar
becoming more and more important fac
tors in trade. Advantage has to b
taken Of everything in the way o
freights. Competition has never bee
so keen as now. Certain territory Yves
Of the Mississippi and particularly Yves
Of the Missouri river is largely dom
j. mated by jobbers. Des Moines, whic
is the great geographical and railroa
, center of Iowa, promises now to be

enter more effectively the territory. !

quently equal to a normal profit for the
smaller houses west of Minneapolis.


smaller houses west of Minneapolis.
Important Considerations.
1t stands to reason that the Min
neapolis jobbing houses can get lower
freight rates in car and trainlots than
the smaller houses which must buy at
less than carlots. 1t stands to reason
also that the factories can save for
their customers the difference between
rates on the raw material and the
usually much higher rates on the fin
ished product. And a third element of
saving is that of time, inasmuch as
buyers can get to the Minneapolis mar
ket and back in at least a week less
time than to the eastern markets, and
orders can be filled much quicker from
Minneapolis than from the east. This
last item is much appreciated by houses
in Minneapolis territory, because of the
elimination for them of possible delays,
seen and unforeseen, between eastern
cities and Minneapolis, both on &C
count of freight congestion at big rail
road transfer points and thru the wash
outs in summer and billiards in win
ter.
A fourth element is in the amount Of
capital required by the small houses to
carry on business. They are enabled by
the nearness of the market to buy often
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1905-04-01

and therefore to carry smaller stocks.
This saving in turn permits the more
rapid development Of business, because
of the less capital required.
And, going a step farther, the near
ness Of the market makes it possible to
do more satisfactory business, both
to the storekeepers and to their Gus
toners, as the storekeepers are freed
stocks and the customers can have
fresher assortments of merchandise to
choose from.
To the end that merchants may come
often to the market, the Twin City and
Northwestern Merchants association
provides several spring and fall excur-
rsions at low railroad rates, which are
sufficiently patronized to show the ap-

Function Of Jobber.
Jobbing houses are nothing but large
merchandise clearing houses. In this
day of division of labor jobbing houses
do their part in assembling goods Of
certain line to save buyers from the
necessity of chasing over all Christen-
dom to pick up stocks, by attending to
that feature of the business themselves.
Wholesale men testify to the necessity
for their own existence by maintaining,
each of them, pickup" departments
to 60 out and secure articles in other
lines which their customers prefer to
buy in one order rather than to open
small accounts with several houses. For
! the same general reasons manufacturers

An enlargement Of the clearing house
idea is then to make the city a big
depot or manufacturing point for all
lines Of goods, as the typical wholesale
house aims to carry all the products in
it's particular line. .... -.
Another point is that Minneapolis

to demand that business by virtue OF

fection of form to show IL of, but
