The Humble Notion Counter.
:. Writing on the Department Store at
Close Range" in the September Every
body's, Hartley Davis says:
The arrangement of departments is
Of such Importance that it may mean
the difference between success and fall
ure. Henry Siegel, who has started and
developed some of the biggest depart
ment stores of the country has devoted
years of thought and experiment to this
matter ard ne always decides personally
where the departments shall be placed
and what space they shall occupy. In
0ther stores the arrangement of DEPART
ments is determined by many confer
ences. The general rule is simple Ar
ticles that come under the head of lux
lries, like jewelry, are always pushed
to the fore, where they will be the first
things to attract attention when people
enter the store and the last things to
catch their eyes when leaving. Depart
nents like those devoted to cloaks and
suits and millinery are on the upper
doors, where they can have plenty of
space and customers can be served COM
without crowding.
Now the notion counter can sell ar
,icles at or below cost because it feeds
/.
other department draws such a steady
stream of people into the store, without
advertising. This is because 1t sells the
particular articles that women conttn-
lously need, day in and day out, and a
good notion section, cleverly placed at
he rear, will thus keep busy several
departments that might otherwise strug-
sle for existence. The under-cost prices.
t should be said, apply only to the sta
'les; by adding to the department !
novelties, on which there is a very con-
iderable profit, the whole can be made
o show a fair return on the business
