Causes for Retail Failures

The losses in the retail businesses S
of the country last year amounted to
Sl64,000, ,000, and of this amount only
nine tenths of ! per cent was due to
extravaganza. These statistics were
made known to members of the Sales
manship Club of New York at a lee
ture last night at the Bush Sales Com
pany's auditorium. by w. II. Farley, of
the lecture bureau of the National Cash
Register Company. The club is con-
Quoting series of meetings. at which
prominent business men have been in
vited to talk
Mr.. Farley said that the great mass
Of retail losses was due to four rea-
sons; incompetence or inexperience,
lack of capital, specific conditions, such
as fires and floods, and fraud. Incon-
petence and ineXperience, he said, were
responsible for 297 per cent of all the
losses. These factors, he continued,
are in turn due, for the most part, to
a lack Of proper organization. By means
of the stereopticon lantern he then
showed various charts of organizations
and advocated the pyramid" plan of
organization for all retail business.
This plan is founded on the distribu-
tion of responsibility and authority. A
store with only four clerks can be so
organized, he said.
The value Of newspaper advertising
Was emphasized by the speaker.
Mine men fail because they do not
advertise enough where one fails be-
cause he advertises too much" Mr.. Far
ley asserted.
The lecture finished with a three
reel motion picture showing the regen-
GRAFTON Of a retail merchant through
the use of system and organization.

SilO Takes Vanderbilt
Ave. Corner for Galleries

James P. Silo's Galleries, at the
northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and
Forty-fifth Street, after a certain date
in the near future will be located in
the store in the Vanderbilt Concourso
Building, at the southwest corner of
Vanderbilt Avenue and Forty-fifth
Street. The premises were leased yes
terday from August Hecksher, who
owns the building, for sixteen years at
rental that will aggregate 100000.
Clark T. Chambers negotiated the deal.
1t was Mr.: Chambers who arranged the
lease of the present premises of Silo's
Galleries to A. Jaeckel & Sons, fur
riers. now on Thirty Street west
of Fifth Avenue. The move of Silo's
will develop a lot of speculation since
it is radical change. Art dealers have
been moving north in the Fifth Avenue
zone, and in Fifty-sixth and Fifty
seventh streets are to be found the
greater number of them. The Wander
bilt Avenue premises measure 10Ox1OO.

Sail ON First Boat
For Brazil i'm Year

The Lamport & Holt liner Vauban.
released recently from transporting
American troops from France to this
port, sailed for Brazil and the Argen-
tine yesterday filled to capacity with
American business men in pursuit of
South American trade. She is the first
vessel of the line to leave New York
1or South America in nearly a year.
At least forty men, many of them Of
hcers of big corporations, were on the
pier prepared to sail if there CHANGED
to be any eleventh-hour cancellations.
Dut no passenger gave up his accommo-
datlon: Premiums of all sorts were
offered by those on the waiting list for
chance to embark, and many who had
never travelled second class before
@ LOOK second cabin accommodations
Inc Vauban carried 235 saloon, 1876 sec
ond ana 100 steerage passengers.
|. henry Hirsch, of Adolph Hirsch g.
Co., or this city, one of the Oldest firms
importing South American products,
td sald the cream of the South American
trade already had been taken by Brit
ain, France and Scandinavia. and that
American interests, through lack of
transportation and restrictions of the
war Trade Board, were three months
late.
" South America is filed with all
sorts of products that we need" said
Mr.. llrsch, "but the European markets
have got in ahead OF US. American
business men will find prices higher
tnan those already arranged for by
european nations. There has been en-
lrely too much governmental restric-
1lol on business and trade generally.
Inc War Trade Board has not been as
alert as the trade boards of Europe.
America should cast off her restrictions
and let business proceed as it did in
peace times. The sooner this is done
the better it will be for the country.
we VIII have about three or four
months of hesitancy in business and
after that, if we are not handicapped
by Washington, America will have
about four years of the most wonder
tul business in her history"
Alfred II. Benjamin, of this city, an
independent meat importer and repre-
sentative OF the Sansinena Company of
Ruenos Ayres, a competitor of the
Swifts and Armours, was one of the
Nauban's passengers
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - South
American markets are to be rendered
more accessible to the exporter in this
country.
Announcement was made to-day by
the War Trade Board, in confirmation
OF an earlier statement. that there are
now so many ships available for trade
with the east coast of South America
that 1T will no longer be necessary to
continue the shipping preference pro-
cedure for these ports. This relaxa-
tlOn Is made possible nv the | ot n, n +
of shipping for the east coast of South
America made by the Shipping Board.
Doing away with these shipping
preferences will save the American
exporter, interested in the South
American trade, considerable incon-
venience. 1t was stated by the War
Trade Board that companies have been
instructed to disregard any outstand-
ing preferences heretofore granted.
