Embarrassing Situation

The following story is taken from
an article entitled behind the Scenes
at the Bargain Sale" published in tnU
January Woman's Home Companion:
In one of the exclusive shops of
! Boston when it became a question of
tightening the burden of carrying large
stocks of high priced garments by hav-
ing clearance sale, the point of price
reduction became actually embarrass-
ing: not that the firm was unwilling
to cut the price low enough, but they
feared that the Skephcal public would
actually doubt the legitimacy of the
ark-down, and so lose faith in the
published announcements of the firm.
The head of the house approached
the advertising manager, who was in
the act of tabulating the regular selling
prices and the reduced sale prices for
and said:
Il see you have some $115 gowns
and dresses marked down to S3S and
$40: is that according to the wishes of
the head of that departments"
'Ies, sir-and the valuations are
absolutely accurate"
But if you announce such a cut as
that, won't the public question the
enormous first profit we apparently
derive, if your comparisons are to be
any criterion for regular business?"
II don't think it will hurt our repu-
tation for moderate profit taking" an
swered the advertising manager. I'VE
explain in our 'ad' that this is an I'M
usual cut, much below cost"
at is too dangerous a thing TO ex-
pertinent with Take those S115 gowns.
sell them at S3S and $40 if you will,
but quote them with an original sell
ing price of S75, and make equal cor
rections throughout the lists. Do not
have any one cut approximately more
than a one-half reduction, at most"
This merchant was undoubtedly
right. These gowns had actually cost
$50 or 800. but he did not wish to
imperil that intangible asset of his
hOuse-the unquestiOned faith of his
customers.
