Building activity continues 10 he one of
the principal features Of the Brooklyn
market In Queens and the suburban dis
tric,S of Long Island sales of lots and
houses have made the trading there above
the normal for this season of the year.
Since January to date plans for about
5000 houses to cost S26,200.000. have
been filed. For the corresponding period
last year there We're plans for about 3,lOo
new structures. the estimated cost OF which
was $19.70O,0O0.
Thus the comparative building tables
show that for the first seven months Of
1911 and 1919 400 more houses have
been projected this year and that the gain
in construction cost is $6,50000
Building activity. too is not conccntrat-
ed, only one small section being dun, with
no prospect Of an awakening from its
lethurgic state in the near future.
More parts ~ Brooklyn are inviting TO
apartment house builders than at this
time last year. and there arc several
zones which FOR years have been noted
especially for rows OF cheap frame and
brick dwelling houses that give much evil
dence OF being in the initial stage Of
big structural transformation
High class apartment houses are being
put up on sites which were occupied 10y
the dwelling house landmarks.
The dwelling houses had from six 10
eight rooms, with bath. Rentals ranged
from $50 10 $40 q month. In the apart
men, houses the suites of six rooms and
bath are expected TO be leased quickly at
SEQ q month for one or more years.

of the costliest apartment houses pro-

MAST TREES FOR THE CROWN

that all trees of the diameter OF "a

MEN BEHIND THE COUNTER
Retail Clerk Most Important Factor
In Merchandising WorId-QuaIifi-
cations He Needs.

Reams and reams of stuff have been
written about the qualifications OF a
man in most every trade and profess
sion, but when we get right down to
cases the same qualities that make a
successful clerk would make sue
cessful man in any line.
l have read with much amusement
articles on the clerks department and
things Of that sort by men who have
built up successful mercantile busi-
nesses. and they tell how the clerks
should always be neat and clean, fin
ger nails trimmed voice modulated.
and give advice OF that nature in
large doses.
l believe that any human being
who amounts to much, no matter how
he earns his living. has enough self
respect and pride to care for his per-
sonal appearance. The two qualifica-
tions most necessary to success are.
of course, knowing what to do and
how to do 1t. While service must be
the watchword of every business.
whether it be manufacturing or mer.
camille, do not know Of any man who
must carry out the word Service" to
its fullest extent more than the re-
tail clerk
l believe that salesmanship over the
counter calls for just as high an order
of salesnanship as salesmanship on
the road. and In my experience behind
the retail counter | made 1t point to
study the character and likes and dis
likes of all the regular customers, so
as to make them permanent custom
ers, and to do the same with the
chance customers SO as to make them
regular customers.
To go on in an abstract way naming
the different Qualities, specifying them
as courage, perseverance, ETC., which
clerk should have is simply to
enumerate the qualities which are nee
essary to make any man a success.
believe that it is the time that
ensues between waiting on customers
that works most damage In a retail
store. The clerk should keep himself
occupied during that time in keeping
his stock in shape and figuring out
little schemes for displaying the
goods and talking them, so that when
he goes to bat the next time a GUS
toner comes to his counter he isn't
thinking of matters foreign to the
business.
If the clerk has any ambition at all,
and he isn't much of a clerk unless he
does have, he desires to become the
proprietor of the store himself, or to
become travelling salesman. 1t
doesn't make any difference which de-
sire he has. the means to the end are
the same-to study his employers
business as If 1t were his own. to
know all the why of everything, the
buying, the accounting, as well as the
selling.
/ believe that every retail clerk will
take a renewed interest in his work if
he will think of his work not as sim
ply the handing of something across
the counter, but as work which Is the
most vital and most important in the
business world
Practically all the products Of the
world are eventually sold across the
counter by the retail clerk. and to
Just the degree that he studies his
work and its significance will he be-
come factor in the mercantile world.
