composed of different materials, as
iron. nickel, enamel. leather or wood.
In many instances it is possible to
ship these parts separately, to be as

whereby there is an enormous saving
in the amount of duty and the goods
lowered in cost, which makes them
more salable because of this saving
Another subject that should com

American manufacturers is shipping
goods by the cheapest route. This is
not always done. and the consequence
in many cases is increased cost.
In addition to the foregoing mat
tiers that work a great hindrance to
the extension of American trade is
the question of terms of credit. in
which the, American manufacturer
demands cash before shipment, a re-
quirement not insisted on by any
other country.

sulate if by some action or report

EngliShman'S Criticism of
AmeriCanStOreSAnSWer
Selfridge's Manager Unjustifed in Saying Gus
toners Wait Too Long for Parcels.

A, f. Cowper, one of the important
men in the organization of Selfridge
& Co, which in turn has, perhaps, the
most important department store in
London, recently made a visit to the
United States. He spent most of his
time, of course, in looking over
American department stores, and be-
fore he departed for England freed
himself Of some criticism.
"One thing which struck me was
the time it takes to complete a pur-
chase and get your goods wrapped
and delivered" he said.
AT home we have no bundle wrap
pers; the clerks wrap the packages,
and we find it saves time and mis-
takes. When a customer has made a
purchase and the goods are shipped
by carrier or messenger to a distant
cash and-bundle desk, every second
she has to wait is magnified to a
minute, whereas if the goods are
wrapped by the clerk, the customer
is getting the full attention of that
salesperson, and if a minute or two
should be lost, she is seeing the ac-
ton all the time, and does not feel
that she has been lost sight of. In
Sefridge's We use cash registers, and
we find them great savers of time"
Atlanta merchandise experts do not
agree with the English student of
store service.
Mr.. Cowper in the opinion of va
rious Atlantans approached on the
subject, magnifies the Importance of
the transactions where the purchases
actually are taken away by the buyer
They remark that while it may be
the custom in London for shoppers to
carry home their purchases, nine out
of ten customers In Atlanta demand
delivery by wagon.
At any rate, they say, there is very
little delay, and it is much better to
free the salespeople from the duty
Of wrapping packages.

WHAT ATLANTA MANUFACTURERS AND JOBBERS ARE DOING
Silk Dyers Strike;
Feathers Face Bar;
Ans.-USe Flowers
MiIIiners Think That for Once They
Can Predict Styles for Fall
Well In Advance.

Flowers will be popular on wom-
ems hats for fall and winter wear.
In July this is a dangerous predio-
ton. Circumstances, however, make
it fairly safe prophecy. in the opin-
ion of c. B. Palmer, Of NJ. KutZ Co,
wholesale miIliners.
Dame Fashion might take a notion
to dictate ribbons. But the silk dy-
ers' strikes in Paterson, n. J., have
caused an increase of 20 per cent in
the cost of ribbons, and even at these
advanced prices, deliveries can not
be made. At best, goods can not be
promised before August Is or Sep
TENDER l, and even if the mills re-
open, they are likely to be over
whelmed with the orders which have
been accommodating.
Feathers, again, might have been
Fashions favorites. But right now
there is trouble in Congress over the
importation of feathers. The milli-
ners and the Audubon Society are in
the throes of bitter struggle which
will decide whether feathers will be
admitted at all under the new tariff
Remain only fur and flowers. For
three seasons. velvet and silk flow
ers have been increasing in popular
ity on fall and winter hats, and, with
the scarcity of other materials, are
likely to take the ascendency this
fall
Small hats will rule-that is, small
er than those which have been worn
for the past few seasons. Crowns will
be round, with turned-up brims, ac-
cording to Mr.. Palmer. What will be
the favorite colors. besides the sta
pie blues, browns and black, no one
will know until September l.

last Monday to cover the Southern

FOREIGN DEALER.
SEES MISTAKES
Of AMERICANS
Slow Delivery and Demand for
Money in Advance Hinder
u. S. Trade Abroad.

Slowness in delivery of goods or
rule Of full prepayment are doing a
great deal OF damage to the business
interests of American exporters. Con-
sui w. J. Pike, Reichenberg, Austria,
prominent importer in that city not
long ago, and received a reply setting
forth the reasons why American bust
ness is not greater in Northern Bo-
hernia. According to Mr.. Pike. this
importer more than three years ago
established an important commercial
agency in Reichenberg. The organi-
cation covers all of Northern Bo-
hemia. It has go branch offices, all
Of which are engaged chiefly in the
exploitation of foreign made mer-
chandise.
At the time Mr.. Pike took up the
matter Of increasing American bust
ness in that part of the world. the
importer was getting his merchandise
principally from Germany, France
and England Following a notice
published on the foreign trade oppor-
tunities page of The Daily Consular
and Trade Report, however the or
ganization has entered into extensive
business relations with firms in the
United States. Now most Of its pur-
chases are confined to merchandise
produced in this country.
Capital Tied Up.
The letter received by the Consul
from the importer reads:
Respectfully referring to your es-
teemed favor Of the Sth instant, l
would be obliged to inform the honor
able consulate Of methods to put an
end in the future to the mistakes
which are made in exporting by
American firms.
"A great evil that exists for the i'm
porter is that the total payment for
the merchandise ordered must be sent
in advance. If the merchandise were
delivered promptly to enable quick
sales, the loss of working capital and
of the investment would not be SO
considerable, but Notwithstanding the
total payment is sent in advance, the
merchandise is only delivered in two
or three months, and then only upon
urging by cable, which all entails
considerable costs
ITO illustrate: Early in February
sent through my bank payment for
25 vacuum cleaners to Blank & Co.,
New York and after much urgency
received to-day the reply that prob
ably the goods will be shipped to-
morrow. In the meantime not only
can / do no business, but I have also
invested the money; in other words,
have the money lying unemployed. In
view of the large force of statesmen
dependent upon goods for delivery,
such business conditions require too
large working capital with large ex-
penses and costs.
This invariably slow delivery is
not the exception, but true as TO all
frms-I could give you the names of
large number of firms, the sale of
whose products I was forced to dis
continue and to break off every bust
ness relation because of failure to
promptly deliver the goods.

Managers Of Atlanta department
stores made tests at random to dem
onstrate that il takes on an average
80 seconds for the delivery Of a pack
age and the making of change.
Lucian York, manager of Richs,
says:
I'VE have a system which we be-
lieve is the best yet devised from
the viewpoint of the customer, and
Selfridge's certainly have nothing to
compare with it. We use an identi-
fication COIN
Departs at Once.
Most of our charge customers
have their parcels delivered. After
the transaction is made the customer
merely gives her name and address
to the salesperson, shows her identi-
fication coin, and departs at once.
Even when the customer takes the
parcel with her, the wrapper in the
stand has 1t ready in a jiffy. Time
records to gauge our wrappers show
that on an average they use less
than a minute.
The delivery of packages, after ALL
IS simply minor matter. What our
American people want broadly is
service-the right merchandise at the
right time at the right price. In Eng
fish stores customers still are impor-
tuned to buy; in fact In many of the
stores it is almost impossible to leave
without buying. Fancy such a condi-
ton here!
Again, here we make every effort
TO get what the customer wants. We
anticipate the styles, bring on new
models and patterns.
when the customer purchases
these goods she buys them at our
risk-if they are not pleasing to her
when she gets them home she is at
liberty to return them. Here the Gus
toner is always right-in England
from what l understand, she is more
at the mercy of the storekeeper."

years old, was the woman in the case.
