amounting Il 341.4s6.oo according 20
the records In the ONCE OF City Audi
tor c. II. Sheppard. the bcst showing
made by those in charge OF the city
government for several years
Much OF the credit Is due to the
finance committee OF City Council
which committee includes James II.
McManus, chairman, James 8. Evans
and John r. Henry for tho rigid ocon-
omy they havs exercised at al, times
and their continual efforts to have all
city departments do the saims thing.
However. without the corporation
given by these departments. with one
or two exceptions. they admit this
fine showing could not have been at
ftsined. City Solicitor Reuben Sat
terthwaite also aided materially by
his efforts TO collect baek tnxcs.
Another important factor is the un-
precedented amount of taxes collected
by Elmer II. Klund. tax collector OF
tho Northern District and John l.
Dolan, tax collector Of the Southern
District.
The total amount collected by Mr..
Klund's of1ce for tho fiscal year. 1922,

MERCHANTS ADVISED TO
ADOPT NEW METHODS
BY Roger W.. Bahson
Can Rights Strictly RssrvodD

wellesley Huis. July lst. 1922. In
an interview today Roger w. Bahson
appealed to merchants to study tho
self help" stores. lie believes that
tho small merchant has great oppor-
tunity " no will only adopt modern
methods and advertise more. He In
sists that tho public does not demand
the Chain Stores but rather demands
economical and convenient service.
People buy from tho chain stores be-
cause that Is tho only place in their
community that thcy can get such
service, no continued.
Chain stores arc having a trcDcn-
dous run today. They arc %springins
up like weeds in every community.
Local merchants are beginning TO be-
come panic stricken. They fear that
the chain store is 10 swallow up every
thing. Grocers. drugsists. and cloth
ing dealers arc especially troubled
Considering tho tremendous number
of small merchants this IL a problem
In which every one should be interest
cd. There arc. for instance. over
400. 900 independent grocers in this
country. To havo their business
wiped out would result In a tremendou,
economic appeal. All together there
arc over 1000. 900 small merchants in
America who are vitality interested In
this problem, az they will be wiped
out II the chain store proves 10 be the
legitimate method OF merchandising
Personally I feel hat this change
10 dtfa IN tho fact fhut Tho chain afnrr
comes nearer 10 giving the public
what II wants and prospers for that
reason. II the local merchant viii
adopt the Same ~up-to-dats methods
of economical mercha ndising no need
have nothing to fear from chain store
competition. These newor ard es-
pecially these self help establish
ments are doing n splendid business
because their plan Is practical and
because they arc being operated b,
young men with initiative and en-.
thuslasm. The railroads did a I'm,
business when they were go operated
20 or 30 years ago. Chain stores
however. will nave their troubles JUS
as the railroads have had theirs.
The self help" system eliminates
labor difficulty TO a considerable ex
tent and presents a most interesting
study both as to service and 10 cost
Il appeal particularly 10 merchant
OF the older school and urge them T.
study very carefully these self help
stores. with heir SELF help" service

chain. Any merchant, however. can
install a self help system Of selling
independently. OF course, this means
moso thar re%organIzing the frtures Of
his store.
He must change hia entire attitude.
Tho self help stores for instance are
very dependent upon Advertising, much

local merchants. The latter must nd

not a merchant, merely a statistician.
Statistics. however. clearly Indicate
that II the local merchant continues
an ut present he will be eliminated from
American industry to make way for
more modern machinery Of distribu-
ton.
I'm regard 10 chain stores securi-
ties. Most OF these merchandising
companies should do we'll for the next
TOW years. Mall Order concerns Will
also prosper. but J predict that even
stores like tho A. & T. will some day
change over to n self help" system.
They will DO forced TO in order to sur
