THE VALUE OF GRAPHIC CHARTS
By
THE MERCHANDISE MAN.

Another thing the graphs show
ed me was that in every sale
the higher priced merchandise
was sold in preference to the ad-
vertised items.
Now there was nothing new or
startling in this. but what / was
after was the reason, so that we
could better govern our pur-
chases, merchandising and adver-
Using.
did some personal investigat-
ing in the store and that of
several competitors and found
our fault lay in inappropriate
varieties.
We were too heavy on higher
priced lines and too light on the
medium priced lines that the ma
jority Of people had in mind to
pay for a bag, suit case or trunk.
l also found out that when we
offered travelling bags at $40 we
were very busy and sold more
of the SIS bags, but when we ad-
NCLkAocA P4O ud6o VIC uAu 1OA kCk
a corpOrals guard to respond.
We followed the dictates of the
public the following year and car
ried a larger line Of SO to SIS
bags in stock, and the sales were
FIVE times those Of the previous
year.
We also carried a line of bags
and suit cases up to SIS, but the
call was so small that we did not
spend more than a line mention
Of the fact.
This was only one of the many
things the graph showed up, and
if you use them in your store
they will show you many things
you are not now aware of, and
which a little study will find q
solution.
Ny next article will be on q
scientific study Of mark-downS
and how some factories lost q
good account by carelesSness.

URING my career as a re-
search investigator ! found
- that arriving at a sound
conclusion Of affairs by means OF
figure comparison was not the best
by any means, so l adopted the
graphic method, and it opened
big and heretofore UNEMPLOYED
field of research.
Graphs are like a mountain
range, and when completed are a
series of peaks and valleys, and
show various sorts of percent
ages.
1 had just completed a set Of
charts for a large department
store, when one of the buyers
came in and asked me what all
those funny lines meant.
"They mean," told him, ''the
true state of your stock. your
sales, and your turnovers."
Looks like Hindu to me-" he
said. land 1 don't think I'll
bother to learn it."
These graphs were taken to
the merchandise man and the
general manager and showed a
sad story of bad buying, wrong
sizes, inappropriate varieties and
the like.
One of the departments to fall
under the searchlight of research,
when shown by the graphic chart
to have more valleys than peaks,
was the leather goods section,
which carried a goodly stock Of
travelling bags, suit cases and
trunks.
At times when the store got its
shoulder under this department
and sacrificed price and news
paper space, the graph line
travelled toward the peaks, and
then when all was over journeyed
down into the valley again.
This led me to believe that If
the articles would sell under the
force of a mark-down, there was
something wrong with the origi-
nal makeup.
