becoming greater and greater asA.the
days 90 by, to the sacrifice of the small
merchant, Of the small grocer, and even
to the small market-man. This gigantic
institution, Overwhelming in its power,
is recognized as permanent business
institution, and, therefore, it is worthy
Of the consideration of every young
man about to enter business.
Perhaps the best advice that I can
give to the young man is to enterethe
department store unless he knowso
something better suited to his ability
or to his inclination. There is oppor-
tunity here for him, and there is lack
of opportunity; and these conditions
prevail in every line of business, in
every store, in every office, in every
town, and in every city,,
The best way to take up the business
as permanent calling Is to go right
into department store and begin, eat
the bottom. The application may sbe
made by personal call or by letter.
Many of the department stores adHer-
tise for clerks, bookkeepers, statesmen,
and other workers. From few to Sew
eral of these advertisements appear in
the want columns Of the daily news
papers. The would-be department store
employee should follow carefully the
want columns of the newspapers, and
answer the advertisements by letter or
by call. es
| In regard to the school education nee.
essary for success in the department.
store: a common school education is
essential; the graduate of high school
has better opportunity than have
those whose school education ceased
with lower school. While, upon gem
eral principles, I believe it is rather
i difficult for one to have too much seh6ol
education-for one can never tell when
this education will come into profitable
play-I hardly feel disposed to recon-
mend the expect-to-be department store
employee to enter, or to graduate from,
a classical college OF institute Of tech
nology or other technical school. It
would appear, if one judges by results,
that a general education beyond the
high school can hardly be considered
more than advantageous. However, I
should advise any boy, whether he in
tends to enter q department store FOR
not, to graduate from classical col
lege if he can do so without too great
a sacrifice. should most emphatically
advise the boy who insends to enters
profession to become a college graduate e,
even at heavy sacrifice; but ] would
not recommend more than ordinary, sac
rifce if one is to take up purely Com
mercial business, like that of the depart
ment store.

vironments, and to reach in time his

store may not give the young man of
much ability as wide an opportunity for
advancement, assis presented to him in

Certainly, the department store is the
best place for a young man enter If he
is without active ambition and is rea-
sonably Industrious and of ordinary

some other entrance into business, not
with prejudice to the department store,

other direction.

bition may be better OFF in the city
department store, for there he will
quickly rise to the top or close to the
top, and become a business giant, q
commander Of men and things.
The city department store is q great
machine, run by machine methods; and
each clerk, yes, even the head clerk, is
but a screw, or bolt, or wheel, or
spring of that gigantic engine. For
this reason one IS individuality is not
much in evidence, and it takes a long
time for ability to be recognized.
This is both an advantage and a dis
advantage to the boy just starting into
business life. To be part of great
machine gives him the most strenuous
kind of discipline, the grade of disci-
pine which lis fair and which plays no
favorites. This discipline may be Of
inestimable value to the boy, and no
other place offers this discipline in
larger quantity or better quality than
does the department store. Then, even
if the boy is only a mediocre, he will
probably remain d self supporting part
Of the machine just SO long as he de,
sires to stay; but, if he has more than
ordinary capacity, his ability will sooner
or later be recognized, and he will be
come an officer in the firm, head sales,
man, a department manager, buyer
or will occupy some other official and
executive position.
I have no sympathy with the hue ano
cry which is continually rising from the
counter, and which has for years an(
years been but one wall of, dissatisfac

store clerk has no opportunity rests
upon the basest Misrepresentation. NJ
