Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am man
As years old and have had some one
to come to for advice until recently.
so that now l am perplexed about a
serious question and am writing to
you. l am the sole proprietor Of
confectionery store and for the last 10
years l have made a comfortable in
come from it, enough to support me,
and l have saved few hundred dol
lars.
Lately, however, business has been
poor and the shortage of sugar and
sweets has been so keen that 1 found
when l figured up my profits for the
year just past that had just about
broke even. / have been wondering
whether l can't get into some other
business or do something SO as not to
lose the little have saved. Can you
suggest something for me to do or tell
me what to do. l do not have to
make a change right away, but with
time to think it over and get your
answer l can arrive at something.
This has worried me considerably and
l am anxious to get it settled.
BUSINESS MAN.
1t seems that you are experiencing
| the same difficulty that so many sof
the small retail dealers throughout
the country are having this season.
You are, however, very wise in seeing
the cause Of your apparent failure and
in being farsighted enough to look for
something else to do now before you
lose all of your little savings.
| If you were little younger I
would suggest that you enter the ser
vice of the United States quartermas-
ter's department. Men of business
ability and experience in retail stores
such as you have had could undoubt-
eddy be of service to the government,
and it would do no harm for you to
write to the quartermaster general,
United States army, Washington, D. c.,
asking him if there is not chance
for you to get commission in his de-
partment.
If that is impossible why not apply
to some of the wholesale dealers or
jObbers with whom you have had
considerable business during the pass
few years? There are a great number
of positions open just now for book
keepers, stockroom keepers and the
like left by the younger men being
called to the front. These dealers
know you from your dealing with them
and would at least give you a courte-
Gus reply and very probably have a
