time by the free use of exchange ser
vice for store business, both within
and without the stores, counts mate
rally in the annual departmental saw
ing. All department heads may be
reached simultaneously without seri-
ously interrupting their work, and in
structed concerning any change of po-
Icy or special work. Store detectives,
as well as night watchmen, use the
service for reporting at regular inter-
walls. Accidents are reported to the
proper authorities. The fire risk is
greatly lessened at all times. Even
delinquent patrons are courteously
asked to remit by telephone. In fact
there are few large stores in any large
city that could afford to do business
without telephone service which reach
es both store employees and its patrons.
New uses develop almost daily and it
is expected that the near future will
see not only all stores equipped. but
adequately equipped, with telephone
service.

Der of annual messages which we
thought would be adequate when the
Service was installed" This was the
same store that first took up the idea
in the east and that placed an initial
order of 800 telephones.
Starting with 10000 messages. one
prominent department store in April
increased its contract by 10000, and
in June by 100000 more, and finally
in September contracted for 40O, 900 an
nual messages. These changes were
all made within single year. Two
other stores are using about the same
number of local messages annually,
and one is using from $4,000 to 100000
more. Those made from one telephone
to another within the same store are,
of course, not counted in the above
number.
Since a large number of these mes
sages cause others to be sent In return.
it may be seen that the incoming tele-
phone business of the stores is very
heavy. It has been estimated that
over 60 per cent of the incoming mes
sages are orders for goods. These or
ders are now going to the stores which
are fully equipped for handling such
business. The fact that the store ma
nagers appreciate this is shown BY
the number of carefully developed
ideas for encouraging telephone shop
ping.
SPECIAL TELEPHONE FEATURES.
Among the special features devel-
oped later were inviting the public to
call up the watch department and set
their watches by telephone, distribute
ing election news, transmitting music
from a nearby theater to customers
in the store, all of which were done
gratuitously by telephone.
AS one feature of obtaining Christ
mas orders, which otherwise might
not have been received, a Santa Claus
department was opened, and num-
Der of clerks, with matured voices. re-
ceived requests over the telephone. At
ter getting the names and addresses
OF Lne yOutntul SuppllcantS they Tor
warded the orders to other clerks, who
telephoned them to the children's pa
rents for confirmation or cancellation.
In order to increase this business chill
dren were invited to call up Santa
Claus house and hear the music and
fun over the telephone. This proved
a popular feature for sick children
kept at home and for invalids who
wished to get in touch with the out
side world In the store telephones
were placed on low stools for visiting
children to call up Santa Claus.
Some stores advertised instantane-
GUS delivery of goods urgently needed
and ordered by telephone.
In the stores the saving Of employees
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-10-21

the public to purchase by telephone.
While double-page spaces dotted with
drawings of diminutive telephones and
telephone lines urged the people to use
the means provided for easy buying.
On the reverse side of every sales
check they advertised, shop by tele-
phone on rainy days. Shop from the
waiting room or restaurant to any part
of the store without moving No
charge for this service"
HOW SERVICE WAS ADVERTISED.
Call up the salesperson with whom
you are acquainted and who knows
your tastes. When you have finished
with that department ask to be trans
ferred from floor to floor and from
counter to counter. Until we have at
tended to all of your needs.
Whether you are in this city or
100 miles away, this store is no far
Their than the nearest telephone. There
is no reason why you should have to
be content with inferior goods at high
er prices than you are accustomed to
paying at your home store.
"As for quality, a child could buy
here safely by telephone. However,
should there be a mistake the tele-
phone will straighten it out in a fifty.
When, for any reason, you have cause
to complain call up Miss -- and ex-
plain the matter to her. She'll correct
the error, if it is ours, as well as if
you came here in person.
Decide how many pounds of staples
you need each week-butter coffee, tea
soap salt, flour, and sugar-and tele-
phone your order to our grocery de-
partment. The goods will be sent on
the same day each week without fur
Their notice on your part Or better
still, let us put you on our list for
regular telephone calls. We will tele-
phone as often as you say and send
the goods by the next delivery. If
you want strawberries, for instance.
ask to be put on our list and when the
market favors you we will call you and
quote prices.
Hereafter this store will never be
closed to those who have telephone
in their homes. We have inaugurated
night telephone service for receiving
orders. Carefully trained employees
will receive your order at any time of
the night and goods will be packed and
sent out on the early morning delivery.
I'VE bring the store and it's service
to you. The operators slip out a lit
tie plug here, clap it in there-and
presto! you're at the counter"
SOME RESULTS.
The result was that several of the
department stores were nearly swamp
ed with telephone orders The fact
that it was necessary for them to keep
ahead of the customers by increasing
their telephone equipment from time
to time as demands increased showed
that they were not disappointed in
hoping for a large increase of bust
ness. mot six months in service Zone

ELECTING SENATORS
BY DIRECT VOTE.

Experiemnts with the primary sys-
TEN of nominating candidates for the
United States senate have not gone
far enough to admit the forming of an
intelligent judgment as to the salts
faction the method viii bring. But
there are present INDICATIONS that this
practical avoidance Of a constitution
al provision by voluntary action is go
ing to result in complications. There
is always "a possibility that parties
will split, and so upset normal politi-
cal calculations, says the St Louis
Republic.
Oregon has gone farther than any of
the other states. There the parties
nominate senatorial candidates, and
later the people themselves choose be-
tween the nominees. The legislature
has thus only the perfunctory power Of
ratification. The coming legislature
