Increasing Retail Sales

I'D UTTING up a good 'front.' speaking literally, is one Of the
l. ways that retail stores can attract business. So says a
tail Store Planning" one Of a series that have been issued in an
effort to help the retailer solve his problems
1t is pointed out that an attractive front and entrance will
bring many a paSserby into the store who might be repealed by
of what lies within, and the passerby is drawn in by curiosity.
Such a person, finding goods, prices and service to his Or her
liking, probably will become a regular customer.
The store window is naturally the most important feature
of the store 'front.' the pamphlet points out. THE type, size,
general constructions, and lighting Of show windows must meet
the requirements Of the goods to be displayed. For large articles
OF furniture, the window space should be Of sufficient depth to
permit effective display. A soft lavendar glow, which might
cause feather fans and other dainty articles of feminine dress to
look entcngly beautiful, would intensity the gloom Of a seal
skin coat
come in. 1t is pointed out in the pamphlet that women, who do
most of the buying for the home and the family, will be interested
window shoppers for several blocks without being conscious Of a
single store entrance. Then suddenly she enters a store for which
its location, and "even its ease Of operation Of the door must be
considered. Few people voluntarily struggle with a door inclined
to stick, and few buyers on the average VIII climb steps, says
the pamphlet.
There is the main floor layout. If a customer goes beyond the
first floor, it is usually to examine some definite class Of mer-
ehandise on one Of the upper floors OF perhaps an advertised bar
gain to be found in the basement. 1t is usually the impression
gained from the appearance Of the main floor that leads an aim
less shopper further.
Great Importance is placed on proper lighting. The retailer
with a we'll lighted store will do more business than his neigh
Dor with a poorly lighted place of business, the pamphlet fuTtheT
says, and goes on: ~
Zone merchant states that as an experiment two beautiful
lamps were brought down from the lamp section and placed on
the glass top Of a counter containing W0men's neckwear. Within
three months it was decided to double the amount Of space which
for two years previous had proved sufficient for that particular
section. The added attraction provided by the two lamps ap-
peared to be the only explanation of the sudden increase III sales.
Thus it is shown that attractive show windows, With proper
display of good within. an enticlng entrance and an impressive
main floor all contribute to bringing in shoppers and making
them regular customers.

HUDSON ESSEX
CARS NOW HAVE
BALLOON TIRES

"Equipped' with balloon tires
on all models, new Hudson and ks-
sex motor ears went on display for
the first time vest erday in the sales
rooms Of Imperial Valley Finance
Corporation, the local distributors.
Besides the balloon tires and
generally improved appearance. the
new Hudson Essex line is Gistin
guished by the fact that for the
first time in motor history an en-
closed car is offered at the same
price as an open car of the identi-
cal make. This is true of the Hud-
SON super six phaeton,. open, and the
HH,lson coach, enclosed, which are
each offered now.
H'This means, said William
Lewis "that Hudson Essex has
brought cut two vitally important
Improvements in its line of cars.
First, it is the first big producer
to equip all models with genuine
balloon tires as standard equipment,
and second, it breaks all motor pre-
cedents by offering an open and
an enclosed car at an identical
price.
"'We have had for several years
the prophecy that open and en-
closed ears would sell at equal
prices. Hudson is first to make
that ideal a fact. In the Essex
line the differential between open
and enclosed ear is small. The
phrase closed ear comforts at open
car cost is now an accomplished
fact. Motorists will regard this as
one of the most significant devel-
opments of years.
Add to Appearance
"The ballon tires, which are now
standard, are desirable not only be
cause of the wonderful riding com
fort they give, but also because
they add greatly to appearance.
With them have come new tenders,
larger and much more handsome.
The performance of the balloon tire
has now been under test by the
public fora year or more, and
there is no doubt but that the pub
lie has come to want them. They
have been installed by Hludson-Es-
sex without any increase in price.
Besides the coaches, which will
make up for 10 per cent of all
Hudson Essex business, there are
the standard open ears and two
luxurious new Hudson sedans. These
latters ears are wonderfully fine
and, large, with generouslc ample
seating, space.

Nicentini tried hard to penetrate Dundee's crafty, shifty defense but seldom was able to land effectively on his bounding target.
 Once or twice, however. the Chilean got through his long right and iolted Dundee, but the veteran seldom gave ground.
