Two Problems Presented.
The smaller merchant is always con-
fronted with two problems. it is sug-
gested. One is how to get a complete
variety of a given article. so as to af-
ford his customers the widest field for the
selection of what they want; the second
is how to get what he does get at a price
sufficiently low to enable him to make
his retail price attractive to his custom
ero and at the same time keep it from
being runous to himself. The Hub Fur
niture Company has its mammoth store
on the southeast corner of 7th and ID
streets, and ii takes a great deal of stock
to fill the four floors and basement of
those two great buildings and their three
supply fountains the big warehouses
from which the stock is replenished. The
immense quantities demanded for this
purpose alone would ordinarily, 1t is
pointed out. give the Hub a big advan-
tage over the smaller merchant, both in
securing a wide variety of the many ar
ticles kept in stock and in fixing the
buying cost low enough to enable the
sale of the articles at a retail price far
below the average. But the Hub Furni-
ture Company owns NOT only the store AT
9TH and d streets, but eighteen other
stores besides-five of them in the great
city of Chicago and others in 1ndianapo-
lis. Minneapolis, Omaha Rochester. Mem
