Other children were grouped

That is the new service that is to

great accommodation to mothers but
that it will be splendid training for

hours for this service will be eight to

WOMEN CONTROL
TOWNS DESTINY
Can Make or Break a Community
Through Exercise of Their
Buying Power.
they HOLD PURSE STRINGS
1t Is Estimated That at Least 80 Per
Cent of Retail Purchasing Is
Done by Feminine
Shoppers.

Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
1t has been said that the hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand that rules
the world and nowhere is this more
literally true than in the world of
trade. The woman is the purchasing
agent of the household and man, as
rule, is very glad to have her handle
the job.
1t has been estimated by some stu
dents of the merchandising game that
so per cent of all retail buying is done
by women. This may be high esti-
mate but a visit to the retail stores
of any town or city is enough to con-
vince one that the figures are not too
high. The preponderance of women
among the buyers is sufficient, at any
rate, to make not only the retailer bat
the manufacturer and the wholesaler
realize that it is the women that they
must please with their merchandise.
Because they do by far the greater
part of the buying in any community
the women have responsibility that
they do not always appreciate. The
women of town, through their buy
ing power, can make or break the mer-
chants of town and as natural con-
sequence they can make or break the
town. 1t is in their power to make
it prosperous town or dead town.
When the women of a town acquire
the mail order habit, the town may
just as well begin making arrange
ments for its own obsequies.
Hard to Understand.
Just why a woman, who is shop
per by instinct and shrewd judge
of values in merchandise, should sue
cumb to the lures of the mail order
house it is difficult TO understand but,
unfortunately, some of them do. No
one knows better than the woman who
has had some experience in the buy
ing of merchandise how difficult it is
to distinguish between the genuine and
the imitation even after close inspec-
ton. The good shopper, when on buy
ing bent, does not always take the
first article that is offered for inspec-
tion.. In fact this is the exception
rather than the rule. The merchants
