livered by r.. II. Kennedy at the John
Marshall High school last night to an
assemblage of business men and won-
en- of Richmond. The lecture, which
was freely illustrated with steropti-
con views, prepared under the dlrec-
tion OF the National Cash Register
company, is the result of thirtS-four
years spent in collecting retail mer-
~chandising ideas in all parts OF the
world, and was given under the au-
spices of the Retail Merchants asso-
citation and ADVERTISERS club.
An interesting feature OF the lecture
was that portion devoted to newspa-
per advertising. Eighty per cent of
the failures in this country, Mr., Ken
nedy stated, are by men h do not
advertise, the statistics being quoted
from the reports of the commercial
agencies. Proper window displays.
delivery problems, perfection of store
organization ard other matters were
interestingly displayed by film, pie
lures, as was also the cooperation OF
employer and employee in comforta-
BILE housing and tactful instruction.
The lecture closed with a three
reel feature film, The Troubls of a
Merchant and How to Stop Them
An audience that filled the auditori-
um of the High school. gave the
speaker close attention.
