wealthy, women shoppers like to get
bargains.
Since 1921 we have cut down the
number Of individual articles handled
in our stores to about 5000. In this
connection we analyzed our stocks of
merchandise and eliminated all un-
necessary duplicates. We began to
specialize In those which have public
preferment. This policy enables us to
concentrate more. Moreover, it en-
ables the manufacturers to specialize
and to apply Ford principles of mass
production. Since adopting these more
scientific principles of merchandising
we have increased our turnovers from
8 to a year, thus heightening the
rate Of profit on invested capital"
No SaturatiOn Point.
I asked Mr.. Parson whether the
Woolworth chain had approached the
saturation point.
There Is no saturation point for
u.s." answered Mr.. Parson. land there
never will be. The need for f1ve-and.
ten-cent stores won't be saturated
until the country stops growing. The
chief factor for us is the necessity
for finding satisfactory locations at
a fair rental which will assure a min

year. There is a disposition on the
part of some landlords to ask higher
rents than any business can support.
I'VE keep out of the real estate
business, except where it is necessary
for special reasons. We concentrate
in retail merchandising. We do no
manufacturing. We do not wish to
become involved with plants and
equipment, but prefer to remain free
