LOCATING A STORE

The methods used In locating a
store by present day shrewd merchan-
dtsers can be used by the man now in
business who feels that he is not
making a success.
Business exists primarily to give
service to the buyer. The business
that succeeds is the one whose proprie-
tor realizes this and strives in every
way to perfect its service. In locating
a store or in recognizing a business
the entire community from which pos
sible customers can be drawn should
be surveyed
These questions should be answered
by man before starting a retail es.
Enlistment:
Is this a manufacturing city or a
city supported by surrounding farming
territory?
Ii this is manufacturing center, are
the industries of such a nature to
give steady, all-year-around employ
ment at good living wage to the
employees?
If this is a farming center. is the
surrounding country prosperous? Are
the farmers up-to-date and progress
sive? Do they paint their barns. take
care of their machinery, and build up
their soil
