"In scientifically managed stores,
every clerk is sales barometer.
whose reading is always visible to the
manager"
The head of big Chicago depart
ment store. looking over the sales fig
ures for the month, noticed that the
clothing department showed Q slight
FILLING off from the presiding month
and from the corresponding month
OF the preceding year.
On examining the reports of sales
OF each employee In, the department
he found that three OF them had
made less sales than during the pre-
seeding month, or during the cores
bonding month of = the preceding
year.
a further study, of the. figures
proved that these three clerks had
shown q steady falling. off while the
other two clerks IN the same depart
ment -had8gradually built up their
sales.
The two clerks were costing about
eight and one-half per cent on their
gross sales, as against nine and a
half per cent for the same clerks for
the preceding year, a nice increase
in efficiency. a1r1 -In Z
The other three clerks who show
ed falling off were costing around
eleven and twelve per cent. That is,
their salaries equalled eleven to
Twelve per cent of their gross sales.
This brought the salary cost Of the
department up to ten and a half to
eleven per cent OF the sales. "a.
1t was not necessary for the man
ager to call in the department head
No conference was necessary. The
figures told the whole story. Two
Of the five clerks were good clerks
and three of the five were unprof-
liable and inefficient. ain aanIirr
