Praise for Women EMPLOYEES

"The women, we find are more con-
scientious, more painstaking, more in
dustrious and stick to their work bet
ter And these things with us count
for honesty. Our women buyers, for
instance, worry if the goods they have
bought do not sell well. The women
follow the thing up to the end; the men
are often apt not to care if their judg-
ment proves to have been bad. These
things may seem rather wide of the mark
at first thought, but we believe such
faithfulness and feeling of responsibility
make for honesty.
LAS to breaches of trust, which might
involve actual stealing of money, there
is little of it and quite likely there is
little difference between men and women,
but what difference there is would be in
favor of the women. Stealing in the
business of a department store outside of
petty thefts from stock would have to be
done by buyers for the store with the
connivance of the manufacturer. 1t is
done, of course and it is done more often
by the men than by the women
I'VE find the same greater attention
to business by girls and women employed
in the lesser positions that we do in the
higher ones. As to shoplifting, probably
the women shoppers do most of IT, but it
is by no mems confined with women.
