GROWTH OF CHAIN STORE DOES NOT SPELL
DOOM OF RETAIL. SAYS CREDIT LEADER

Researches that have been con-
Quoted in the past five years prove
quite definitely that there are a great
number of unnecessary failures among
retail stores. They arise not alone
out of the defects of a debtor but out
of the neglect of creditors. There
is a mutual responsibility that exists
between debtor and creditor. This
is persistent factor which cannot be
overlooked and the manufacturer and
wholesaler in the face of this should
carry his part of the responsibility by
exerting himself to decrease the avoid
able waste. The promise to accom-
plish this is found in a study of a
debtors problems. The whole atmo-
sphere of business is constantly
charged with problems. There is
often too keen desire to avoid these
difficulties in the hope that the one
Immediately concerned will provide
the solution"
Mr.. Tregoe points out that recent
observations, regarding the retail
store, indicate that it's average life
is 7.57 years. These observers find
that the dry goods, furniture and
clothing stores have the shortest life,
while hardware, grocery and shoe
stores have much longer lives.
1T is interesting to observe from
various business researches that those
retail stores which have the longest
lives have the smallest average pro-
fits. Besides this, those stores which
have the most rapid turnover in their
stocks are not necessarily those
which have the longest life. Hard
ware and shoe stores which have the
longest lives of any retail stores have
the lowest rate of turnover.
zone surveyor of the situation be-
lieves that dead stocks have lot to
do with the unhealthy condition in
retail stores. In the National Asso-.
citation of Credit Mems adjustment
and bankruptcy. work this condition
often arises and trustees and bank
ruptcys often find themselves with
large amounts of dead stock which
while they cost originally large sum,
represented very little actual assets.
This is situation that needs the
man. 1t should be part of his bust
ness to see to it that the retail stores,
numbering about 100000, shall be
healthy outlets for manufacturers and
wholesalers goods The credit man
too often encourages weak retailers
to start again in business, which they
are untitled for.
sit has been found that there is ap-
proximately retail store for every
"a families; a grocery store for every
81 families; and drug store for
about every 43 families. While the
credit man encourages these numbers
/ in the retail business, he is weaken
ing his front line trenches from which
he must get his goods over the, top
1--WE shall have to give 1re-consid-
GRAFTON to the question Of quick
turnover and to encourage people
through credit, entering the retail
field. These mushroom stores too
often terminate business through
forced sales, bankruptcy or the loss
and waste of original investment,
usually too small. By more careful
study Of retail merchandising and a
review of the whole situation, the
credit man can do a large share to-
ward wholesome merchandising"

 When the roll call of jurors had been completed, Attorney Henry Shannon, chief counsel for the ac- cused, offered 10 show that Freder- ick Peterson. one of the states wit resses, had been arrested in 1922 for ernbezzlcment and had been sentenced to jail.

OTIS SKINNER HAS FONDNESS FOR RAGS

 Nineteen years ago Mir. Skinner played in The Honor of the Family" when he created the role of Colonel Philippe Bridau. He has elected to revive the old colonel, who is very much a rogue, and the veteran actor dug from the moth balls the col onels old down-at-the- uniform.

 Deplores Commercial Stage
 Mir. Skinne- deplores the com mercial aspect of the stage.
 T don't want to be one of these old fellows who gloats on the past, but 1t Is all so staggering. Why. do you know, that there are 50 legitimate theaters in New York where major productions are being presented Everything happens so fast"
 And then to youth.
 Youth is handicapped on the stage today. They are not given d chance. In the past there was a school Of expressionisn; player had a chance to express himself. To- day it is a study in suggestion and repression. Players are cast as to type. They play themselves and many Of them do 1t exceedingly we'll But out of this type of acting we will never find any Shakespear- ian actors"
