A MENACE TO RETAILERS.
Buying Exchange Threatens to axe
Business From Small Merchants.

Buying Exchange Threatens TO axe
Business From Small Merchants.
It is a question whether or not the
buying exchanges can be made to sup
plant the jobbing houses and the
wholesale establishments, says the Ag-
ricultural Southwest In certain lines
It may be possible to make the ex-
change a power, but in general lines
II appears that it will be a difficult
matter to improve upon the establish
ed system of distribution. In fact, the
manufacturer cannot well maintain de
pots directly under his own supervi-
sion in the different distributing points.
Neither can the manager of an ex-
change establish warehouses at all i'm
portant points and carry in stock goods
for distribution. This would be mere
" q multitude of wholesale houses I'M
der one management and would not
be any improvement over the present
system, but rather a menace to the re-
tail trade
1t is possible for dozen or more
stores to combine and do purchasing
collectively. In fact. this is now plan
pursued by a number Of western con
Germs. But we venture to say that as
an economical proposition the buy
ing exchange will not be found more
advantageous than the established sys-
TEN of from manufacturer TO jobber
and from jobber TO retailer, a system
that is the outgrowth Of few thou
sand years Of commercialism.
