Richmond stand. uend OF CI.ss.

Dun's Review every week has reports
of trade conditions from It's agents in
all the leading cities OF the country.
REPORTS from Richmond have been OF
the most cheering kind, and a recent
one was especially noticeable in that
it was the most cheering of any OF the
many from other trade centers. 1t was
as follows:
business is unusually brisk for this
early in the season and collections are
better than usual except in a few sec
tons where dealers are holding of
until after the marketing of tobacco
and cotton. Retail trade has been
larger than for several weeks. Whole
sale drug houses es report more orders
are not obtainable. and this is also
true of dry goods and hardware. Shoe
salesmen are booking much larger
orders than last season, and some
houses report sales more than double
those of the same period last year
Millinery Is worry active.

MERCHANTS MISTAKES
Richmond and Other Trnde Centers
Can Profit by the Errors
of London Merchants.

of London Merchants.
Val Fisher, the London publisher, re-
Gently delivered in New York an In
tercsting address in which he preached
the gospel Of Industrial preparedness
for after the-wnr conditions. His in
Innate acquaintance with the affairs
Of leading London mercantile houses
enabled him to present some significant
facts with relation to wartime adVer-
Using. For instance. speaking OF the
policy OF Selfridge. one of the great
department store managers of London,
he said: The experience of Britains
retail stores contains an object lesson
which should not be lost on the busi-
ness men OF America. During the first
few months OF the war many stores cut
down their advertising. But Selfrdge
did not. He did not skip single day.
lie used all the space the newspapers
would allow him to use, and has con-
tinued to do SO. The result was that
Selfridge's profits during the first year
of the war were $4,000; during the
second. $750.00). and during the third
year, $1,125.000.
Persistent fostering OF goodwill de-
spite the handicap OF war conditions
brought Selfridge up from the fourth or
fifth place in Volume Of business and
fifth place in volume of bushes and
to pass competitors who cut down
their advertising at first and were UNI
able to catch up when their mistake
became obvious in diminished prestige
and profits.
Merchants and manufacturers who
think it prudent to curtail advertising
until peace has been declared are
Fishers opinion His advice to them
is to keep before the public now il
they wish to stand we'll with the public
after the war.

GETTING MORE ACUTE
observations In Shoe and Leather
Markets Lead to Belief In Still
Higher Prices.

Dun's observations in the shoe and
leather markets for the week past lead
to the conclusion that through the
placing, Of large contracts for army and
navy shoes and for material for shoe
repairing. the. quantity Of leather
available for civilian uses will be still
further lessened. While awards for the
5000. 600 pairs of army shoes have not
yet been fully completed. owing to d.
vcrgence of views regarding the ques
ton OF prices. a number OF manufac-
turers have agreed to produce their
quota at the prices suggested by the
government. and contracts for more
cost Of some $4,000. ooo have already
been closed up to this writing. In ad-
clifton, awards were announced early
this week for 1.3S3.0O0 pairs of navy
shoes. deliveries to be made both be-
fore January and between January and
April, 1919. and over 100000 pairs OF
half soles have thus far been pur-
chased. To fill these orders. shoe man
ufacturers and leather cutters will be
kept busy for months to- come, and
the maintenance OF intensive produc-
tive effort will be rendered more din
cult when the new draft goes into
operation
