Miss Cantwell Buys. Merchandise in
New York,

Miss Anna Cantwell of Ye Novelty
Shop, has returned from New York
City, where she spent several weeks
buying merchandise for this rapidly
growing institution.
Miss Cantwell is candid in saying
that it is hard to secure merchandise.
This is getting to be an old, old story,

buyer for a store. Labor conditions
are very serious in New York City,
more so than in Chicago, for instance.
Workers start operations at nine o.
clock or thereabouts and quit at five,
receiving most, any price they ask.
The cost of merchandise goes up as
the production is reduced. Then ev-
erything else goes up accordingly and
soon the workers demand more wages.
And so it goes. ~
Miss Cantwell was fortunate in Sc
curing some very pretty merchandise,
much of which has already arrived
