Pressure of Competition.
Pressure of competition and desire
for sales volume has led also to
the broadening of the policy of leas-
ing departments Of retail stores. Ac-
cording to the Department Of Corn
merce, at least 80 per cent Of the
department store of the country lease
one or more departments. The idea
is that these leases assure certain
revenue without risk, that they
broaden the scope of the store and
benefit other departments through
the number of additional customers
attracted. This policy is most no.
ticeable in medium sized department
stores in cities Of from $4,000 to
100, 900. Some retailers, however, arc
emphatically opposed to trusting
even minor departments to outside
individuals or organizations.
Millinery departments are the ones
most frequently leased and so called
syndicates have sprung up which
lease millinery sections in number
of stores. thus establishing chains
of leased departments for the dis
tribution of their merchandise.
