| accompanied the Arkansas Press
Association on its trip to Memphis.
My last previous visit there was on
my way to the Worlds Fair or
Columbian Exposition at Chicago in
1898, twenty-six years ago. The
town has grown some since then. I
was quite we'll acquainted there then,
but the only one of my friends l
could locate was Mike Connally,
known to the world as Col. M. W.
Connally, one of Americas most
brilliant editors. He has not fully,
recovered from stroke of paralysis,
which he received some two years
ago, and only visits his Office once
week now. He is one of the editors
of the Scimiter and his writing con-
tinues as brilliant as ever.
Memphis Park System.
Through the courtesy of the Mem
phis Chamber of Commerce we were
driven over an excellent park road,
part of which along the Mississippi
river is known as the Riverside
Drive. Overton Park is one of the
finest in America. l spent nearly a
half day looking at and interviewing
the animals. They were of the un-
animous opinion that they would pre-
fer their liberty and return to their
natural haunts, above all other things
in the world.

weeks old and would not weigh over

manned constantly in front of it's
mother, which always kept her nose
touching it so that she could protect
it from all dangers. Later on
heard roars coming from that direc-
ton, but I do not know whether it
was from Mamma Hip, or Papa Hip,
who is kept in an adjoining tank by
himself, for fear he might hurt his
baby. He was so ashamed of this
treatment and insinuation that he
should be considered dangerous to
his own dear baby that he kept his
head under the water all the time I
was there.
The sea lions from California were

THRIFT AS AN ALL-CASH
MOTIVE.
(By James H. Collins.)


"Many store owners have gazed
with longing eyes across the divide
that separates a cash-and-charge
store, and one that sells only for
cash." says the Dry Goods Economist
Comparatively few have dared
cross the chasm.
Up in Rochester, N. Y, large
department store recently changed to
the all-cash basis after careful pre-
paration that assured success, and
the advance campaign is described by
that journel. The establishment (the
Duffy-Powers Company laid the
foundation in all-cash non-service
departments which were already
operating splendidly. One of these
departments was groceries, and
another the self-serve basement, re-
failing practically all kinds of mer-
chandise on the all-cash non-service
plan. They had started to test the
plan more than a year previously,
and results told the story of success
in their popularity and turnover. In
January, 1918, the cash business was
1928 of the total; in June 81.4 of the
total, and in December, 1918, 1873 of
the total. By February it had risen
to 1913. Thereupon the company de-
cided to put the whole business on a
cash basis and began with editorials
in its advertisements, announcing the
change, supplemented with letters to
credit customers. A twenty-page
"Cash Book" was also circulated.
Employees were called together and
given full details of the plan, and
substantial cash prizes were offered
to departments making a daily quota
of sales the greatest number of
times during the coming month, this
quota being calculated on the basis
of previous cash-and-credit sales
combined, with a view of holding all
business and adding a substantial in
crease.
From the start this store was not
only able to boost its selling quotas,
but the all-cash plan received hearty
support from both customers and en-
ployes.
Several reasons were laid before
the public to demonstrate that cash
is better basis for business than
credit, viewed from the standpoint of
store policy:
1. Being paid cash by its own
customers, the store is able to buy
for less, and buy for cash itself.
2. The store can operate for less
cost by eliminating useless expense.
8. 1t can sell for less when SELL
ing for cash only.
A. 1t can pay good salaries to en-
ployes and merit loyal service.
5. Through the cash policy, wise
ly carried out and Loyalty supported
by the public, the store can be made
an institution that will benefit its
community and be model for other
communities.
One interesting feature of the
chance was the plentiful use of the
word "cash" itself. This was freely
played up in advertising, put on all
window signs and placards, and in
the electric lights, also appearing on
every price ticket. The price tickets
read "49 cents cash" and all items
quoted in newspaper accounts were
"Cash price 40 cents"
Many merchants, of course, elect
to continue on credit basis.
Uncle Sam has been conducting
for the past two years a campaign
which is bound to help any retail
merchant who plans to cross the
same chasm, turning his business
from a credit. to a cash basis.

There were lots of other kinds of
animals there, nearly everything
from squirrels, rabbits and guinea
pigs up. There were birds of many
and varied kinds. There was a
great big lot full of ostriches. There
were pheasants of all kinds including
some from China, which looked like
they might be closely related to our
domestic chickens. 1t is my honest
opinion that Little Rock should be
ashamed of herself for not having a
better zoo than Memphis. Why
Memphis is not even a state capital.
