received no note whatever from the
American government in connection
with the present crisis. Even in case
= necessity arises for Japan to take
upon herself the duty of discharging

Clerks Should Study Advertisements


What is more irritating than to step
into store, after having seen bar
gain advertised by the store, and be
told by the clerk, who should know his
business, that you were certainly mis-
taken, that the store had not adver-
tised the goods you asked for. This
thing happens too often, says Mer-
chants Trade Journal.
Some time ago q man was seen to
enter q large clothing store and ask
to be shown a wash vest advertised at
$1.9s. The clerk behind the counter.
when approached by his, customer.
sarcastically remarked, You must be
in the wrong store, neighbor. This
store does not sell goods OF that
Glass;" The customer protested that
he had seen this stores announce
ment In the morning paper and he was
sure of 1t. Just then the floor mana
ger happened to be passing and over
heard the conversation, and ap-
preached the customer and asked what
the trouble was. The customer, who
quite naturally did not like the atti-
tude of the clerk behind the counter,
told his trouble to the floor manager.
With q snap of his finger that floor
manager instructed his clerk to apply
at the office Immediately for his time.
saying that the store had no use for
a clerk who did not keep himself
posted on the stores advertisements.
Then he called another salesman and
directed him to wait upon the GUS
toner.
Now, there was an instance where
both the department manager and the
clerk were at fault. The department
manager certainly should have seen
to it that this clerk, and every other
clerk. has q copy of the departments
advertising, and If the clerk had been
thoroughly alert as he should have
been he would have made 1t point
to have gotten the morning paper con-
tanning the stores announcement In
order to know what was advertised
and would not have displeased q Gus
toner as he did. In some of the large
department stores Of the cities 1t 10
the duty Of the aisle men. or floor
managers, to see that every salesman
in every department under them has
a copy Of the stores advertisement.
The clerk should always know what
goods are advertised and the Adver-
tised prices. He isn't thoroughly quail
flied to stand behind the counter and
serve the public II he doesn't know
these things.
