Politca,ess in the Shops.


Berliner Tageblatt: THE Associa-
ton Of Speciality Shops in Berlin
writes US that there us more n
more outspoken complaint Of increas-
ing impoliteness and inconsidera&e-
ness Of clerks in the shops toward the
public. In many these COM
plants are not limited to the behavior
Of the clerks. but are also directed
against the proprietors. In view Of
these facts the following associations
express lively regret over this un-
pleasant result Of the necessities of
war economy: The Association. Of
Berlin Specially Shops, the Associa-
ton OF German Warehouses and
Trading Houses, the Association of
German Branch Shops. the Society of
Textile Retail Dealers in Greater
Berlin. the Imperial Association Of
German Merchants Of Fine Provisions.
the Society Of Berlin Dealers in CO.
lonial Wares. and also the wal COM
S1ission in the, interests Of consum-
els These are the regular representa-
lives of the standard retail shops Of
Berlin. The people Of thu shops, pro-
prietors as we'll As clerks, are urgent
~ recommended to treat the pur-
chasing public with uniform polite
ness and civility. But the public is re-
quested not to forget how difficult are
the circumstances connected with the
Bushes ass Of selling almost any of the
necessities Of life at present; ana it
Is respectfully asked to show sympa-
thy for the hard and thAnkless task
Of the salesman"
