reduces the time at the counter, not only
making change but in wrapping goods
as generally is the desire when its a
cash sale. Losses on bad accounts are
negligible.
Credit is not extended on the old
fashioned six month"; or a year basis.
Now the customer settles every month,
except on particular purchases such as
pianos, furniture in large lots, etc.
Rent is not so big an item in a de-
partment store as in a speciality shop
measured by the square foot Of floor
space A speciality shop usually is only
on one floor. A department store has
many floors.
Hardly any general statement regard
ing the public will fit all people, but
what l tell you is pretty nearly correct
of the public as a body. My Observa-
ton is that the people each succeeding
year wants things that are a little bit
better than the year before and that
each year the department store grows
more and more in public confidence.
There are many expenses to Il depart
ment store which we strive to decrease,
but the department store at the same
time saves a lot of money for the pub
lie through collecting and centering in
one establishment for each individual the
interesting and useful products of the
earth.
did you notice the item Buying in
that Harvard compilation? I wonder
If the people know what buying means
to a department store? We have seventy
buyers here to whom the study of buy.

work. We have seventy men in New

omy, he added, was in delivery of goods
But" he said, ''the people except in
rare instances will not buy where they
have to carry goods. What's more,
while there would be economy in the
customer carrying home her purchases it
would not be as great a saving as gen
orally supposed. Now suppose each
customer wanted to take her purchases
with her. That would muss up the time
of the $500 to 5000 sales girls in an es-
adjustment such as ours, seeing that the
goods went at once to the packing room,
soothing the patron who was In a hurry
and insistent on getting the articles
quicker than humanity possible to for
ward them to the packers and get them
back and generally meeting the varying
demands of those about her counter.
1T is necessary in a depar cment store
to wait on the customer promptly The
customer then buys with more assurance.
If you don't watch this element of time
In selling, your costs mount higher and
higher, especially in a period like the
holiday season when we, for instance,
had 5000 persons employed.
"Unquestionably 1t costs the customer
to have the goods delivered at the home.
But what can the merchant do? l know
of an establishment which for three years
had its goods delivered to some Of its
patrons in fine delivery wagons without
the name of the department store on the
vehicles. Why? Because some Of the
patrons didn't think the store had pres
tige and, while pleased to buy there, they
didn't want the neighbors TO know ii
until the store arrived

some things and the department store
man has to study the public.
ttCONTRARY to general belief, the
~ customer and the store would be
better OF IL all goods were charged. 1t

NEW BLOOD FAVORED

Although Democrats are beginning to
show steadily increasing amount of in

campaign this year. very few names have
been mentioned for the various county
offices to be filed.
In view Of the collapse of the party
organization in campaigns gone by when
the chances Of Democratic success were
considered unusually bright at the te-
ginning Of the fight, there is marked in
clinatton on the part of prospective can
didates to play waiting game and take

county organization before throwing any
hats into the political ring.
