SHOPS AND THINGS

A RE American and English depart
n ment stores based upon and de-
veloping along a different theory of
merchandising?
This question was raised within the
last week when retail stores assembled
here in national convention discussed
the problems of the merchant in this
country, and at the same time a Lon
don firm, opening a branch office in
New York City, expressed TIE policy
of his firm.
When w. D. Ager, New York repre-
sentative of Harrods, Ltd, of London,
opened his Office for business a week
ago, he announced that there was moth
ing in the world which his firm would
not undertake to supply for its Gus
toners. 1--WE sell everything" he said,
and backed up that statement by pro-
vlding within one week such different
things as parts of the trousseau for
Princess royal Of England and 5000
live chickens for country customer.
1t is the opinion of Miss Marion
Taylor, merchandising representative
OF several magazines, however, that if
the department store in this country
IS to develop along the most profitable
and efficient lines this all-inclusive
policy cannot be followed. Miss TAYLOR
placed her ideas before the National
Rat1Il
Thursday.
Personality is the thing which
counts most in every store, Miss
Taylor believes, and therefore it
should be developed and fostered until
1t will be recognized by the customer
at once.
1t is practically impossible, she says,
for one department store to cater to
ali classes. Few are large enough and
cosmopolitan enough to do this. There
fore, to be successful a store should
undertake to fill the wants of certain
classes or groups in its locality. Grad
ually the community will recognize
the ability of certain stores to satisfy
certain wants.
There is no better indication that
store is getting itself OVER" Miss
Taylor says, than to have a customer
say, I like that shop, you always get
what you want there This indicates
that the merchant has q clear ccncep
ton of the groups which he wants to
serve. When a woman, for instance,
goes into a store knowing that that

WOODLAND AND WOOD
VS.. THE wooDLO1

The increased interest in private
forestry, particularly with reference
to farm forestry. has brought about
the general acceptance of the term
woodland" or woods" instead Of
the original one OF "woodlot," ac-
cordlng to the Forest Service of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
A large proportion of the wood
land in the eastern United States is
in irregularly shaped tracts, spread
ing out over ridges, ravines, slopes,
swamps and poor land. whereas
"woodlot' carries the idea Of
small sized, regularly shaped, and,
in a large section Of the country,
fenced tract. When applied to the
large or irregularly shaped tracts,
1t is obvious that the word made
quately describes the conditions.
"Woodlot" probably originated in
New England and seems fairly we'll
established there. so long as only
conditions like those in New Eng
land we're considered, wood
was accepted as adequate, but in
the last few years farm forestry has
been developing rapidly thruout the
country.
Woodland" and woods" are
more satisfactory, more expressive
and avoid the possibility of creating
confusion in the MINDS of the peo'
pie over most sections of the coun.
try where the word "woodlots" has
never been in local use,

tlvlties planned for American Legion

Efforts will be made to have at least
one million men and women who
have worn the uniform Of the Unit
ed States during the war, enrolled
as members Of the American Legion
prior to the November demonstra-
tlon. A plan will be proposed to the
National Convention to set aside

American Legion Day to commemor-
ate the service of the American Army
and Navy in the Great War.
