In pursuance Of the keep it all in
the family" policy. hundreds OF small
shopkeepers in the city are finding both
convenience and profit in the manage
ment Of their shops. The prime object
in the management OF the average
small store is economy, and in keeping
all in the family. in running the busi-
ness without any hired help. in living
either in the rear of or above their
stores small shopkeepers solve the
secret Of the much desired economy and
prosper accordingly.
This method OF shopkeeping enables
the family of extremely moderate
means. whereof the head and main sup
port is employed during the day, to 20
INTO business on a small scale without
in any way interfering with the work
OF the chief bread winner. The hus-
oand and father may continue to work
at his vocation while the family at
tends to the store. At night when he
returns from work he can take his turn
at acting as storekeeper. II there are
children in the family even this is not
necessary, the young people taking care
OF the store during the evening while
the father enjoys the peacefulness OF
