The definite action by the various

The customer need but walk up to a

Even admitting that the greater part
of the goods sold in the average store
cannot be handled in this manner, Mr..
Edison believes that the proportion of
goods that can be disposed of by the
automatic plan is so large that the cost
of store operation will be greatly re-
duced. That means under modern
methods of competition that the GUS
toner will get the benefit in his pur-
chases.
Nor does Mr. Edison think that the
