 Six policemen on hand on Saturday at the doors and inside the store rem dered valuable aid in handling the crowds and preventing unnecessary pushing and showing on the part of the sometimes excited customers.
 A regular method of letting groups of people in the store was followed, and when inside they were also directed how to pass from one part to another in order to avoid congestion, and finally to arrive at the rear door, from which they made their exit. In order that all might be waited upon with the greatest possible speed, MT. Kronig has a force of 85 clerks on duty, he said, and a special system of duplicate slips for the cashier and the delivery clerks was in force, so that patrons received their goods from the wrapping department on their way out.
