A policy or interior expansion, the
introduction of better methods. bet
ter service. and making possible a
quicker turnover" OF stock, has
been adopteS by the George wyman

sion Of South Bend as a city. I'm
provements of every sort for the
convenience OF the customer, and
sincere effort to give real service
are but the beginning OF a program
OF growth planned by those heading

expressed his enthusiasm at the
prospects OF growing South
Bend" and stated that executives
and employees of the store were
ready to grow along with South
Bend. and 10 meet the increasing de-
mands OF a rapidly increasing pop
ulatiOn.
Install New System
Anticipating the growth Of our
city" he said. we recently installed
the most efficient service in handling
cash and charge transactions that
can be obtained. AL cash is center
ed IN one place. Three persons
work on a single transaction at one
time-clerk. Inspector. and cashier
giving the quickest possible ser
vice to customers. 1t is now mat
ter of q few seconds only 10 com
works Ike this: the clerk makes
cut the check, placing the check and
money received in the tubes; the in
spector wraps the package while
change is made by the cashier, the
change being on It's way back be-
fore the package is completely
wrapped. The inspector then hands
change and package TO the clerk
who in turn gives them TO the Gus
toner. All charges are automaticaI-
ly separated and go directly to the
authorizing office from where they
are returned immed iately-withOut
teIephoning or oeiay or any sort
10 the wrapping station.
we are very proud OF this system
and the quick service II offers. There
is no better made. We are glad at
any time to show the working OF
our tube system 10 customers who
are interested. II is really worth
seeing.
More Floor Space
Another move toward expansion
has been the securing OF 5000
square feet Of floor space IN the
basement of the Farmers Trust
building. This viii be used for the
storage and assembling ware house
for dolls. toys, and other articles
secured from all parts OF the world
Tor youngsters and grown-ups.
The daylight basement Is an
other recent addition which has
proved very popular with the buy
ing public. 1t IS there that the
radio receiving station secured re-
Gently has been installed. the public
being invited TO listen in on any
news or musical programs that may
be received.
Forge To Front
"A New York and a foreign buyer
adds to the service which from now
on will be offered South Bend peo-
PIE. Through our foreign buyer we
have direct representation in Paris.
He is familiar with and buys from
Germany. England. Austria. Bel
gum. Italy. and other countries
merchandise thai can be procured
20 better advantage there .than In
the United States.
we are, am gao 20 say. one OF
group OF stores that is bending
every energy 10 derive and put into
actual practice such methods and
plans as will best serve the locality
in which their work lies. our for
eign representation is but one OF the
plans being considered.
George Wyman and Co. can be
depended upon to keep TO the frcnt
and assist IN any expansion purpose
that Is FOR the good OF South Bend"
