well know, certain department
stores of national reputation have
adopted the plan OF no free de1iv-

we are acquainted in connection with
their basement lines.
In addition to this, the mana ger

fact that they have been able to
make the charge and satisfy their
customers, in the face Of the com
petition OF the big stores in the near

tion along even these lines can ac-
complish.
Another innovation which is now
being seriously considered by re-

PRODUCTION Of some system of reim-
bursement to the store for the ex-
pense and risk which charge ac-
counts involve. This plan. like the
charge for delivery, has already
been adopted by certain stores in
their underprice basement. The
thought of making the method one
OF general application has grown out
OF the feeling, so general among
merchants, that the trade OF many

they will accept them when deliy-

been taken on a road which but n

by long precedent and by the com
petition between the various stores.
This in itself is much, but it prom
ises to be greatly surpassed by pro-
gressiVe stores in various centers

ture. Prominent merchants and
their arrangements are frankly ad
mitting that, their minds are now
turning toward still more radical
changes. For example, when lust
two years ago the Economist urged
that retailers can no longer afford
to make all deliveries free" we
ourselves felt that our suggestion
would find scant approval. Yet to-
day the idea OF making a charge for
deliveries is prominent in the minds
of many leaders in the dry goods and
department store field. They feel
that this would be fairer not only to
the store, but also to such OF their
customers as help them to cut down
expenses by taking goods with them.

LOOKING AHEAD.
(Dry Goods Economist. }


There are two important changes
in retail methods which though once
looked upon as impossible are now
receiving widespread consideration
and, In some cases, have been put
into actual operation.
The war conditions, with their
constant augmentation of the cost OF
doing business, accompanied by in
dications of tendency toward
economy on the part OF consumers,
are gradually bringing retailers to
an entirely new. attitude toward GER
tain problems of their business.
The emphasis recently laid uopn
the necessity for curtailment of the
number of delivery trips by the
stores and for the elimination as far
as possible OF unnecessary returns of
merchandise has shown merchants
what can be done by accomplished
concerted action and by consistent
adherence to carefully devised
program. Not all stores by any
means have as yet fallen in line with
the suggestions OF the Commercial
Economy Board at Washington. and
in far too many centers co-opera-
tion appears to have been blocked
by the obstinacy of, Just one or two
concerns. Nevertheless in other
centers the daily delivery trips have
been reduced, charge for special
delivery has been provided for. the
stores have stiffened their backbone
as to requests for special delivery,
and various steps have been taken
to lessen the amount OF goods sent
