When Big Store Takes a Big Step
f Street at
We nth

TWO years ago Washington's oldest furniture
i store became Washingtons newest department
store Itwas big step from the ways of furniture
store to the hustling bustling methods of modern
department store. A great number of additional
employees had to be engaged, trained and fitted into
the organization. Re-arrangement of floor space
throughout the store was necessary. Innumerable
other essential changes were made. Naturally dur
ing this PERIOD mistakes occurred. But SO far as is
humanity possible, they are not being made today.
Evening star., 1928-11-26

WAS the advent of this store as department
w store welcomed by the public of Washington
and vicinity? The question is best answered by a
few figures. From January to October 81 of this
year thousands more people have visited the store
and, during this period, 50, ,534 more people made
purchases than during the corresponding period the
previous year. LAST MONTH OUR BUSINESS
INCREASED 219o OVER OCTOBER, 1927.
These cold figures surely proof that the big step

BUSINESS MEN AND FARMERS

Many business men claim that the
trouble with the farmers as a class
is that they do not farm scientifcal-
ly. They will often point to the
cases of business or professional
men who have operated farms. A
good many instances can be found
of such men who though without
much previous experience, have yet
been able to make such work prof
table.
But it would probably be found in
the majority of such cases, that
such business men farmers have de-
voted themselves mostly to some one
speciality. They would perhaps raise
poultry on some big scale, or locate
near some large city and specialize
in market gardening. AS the result
of very thorough study of one line,
they would become highly expert.
Where such men have gone into
general farming, so that they need
ed to cover a wide range of different
propositions, it was much more diff
ficult to become expert on all those
lines, and their chances for making
the enterprise financially profitable
would be reduced.
There are certain suggestions that
business men would commonly make
to farmers. They would favor keep
ing careful records, so as to know
just where the profits and losses
came from. If they were running a
dairy farm, they would not be keep
ing COWS that did not pay for their
iced.
The business men would common
y favor specializing, and they
would say that many farmers spread
'ut too much and try too many
hings. They would urge their far
ner friends to concentrate on a few
hings, suited to their soils and To-
ality, and try to learn everything
he scientists and practical men s
ould tell them about those few t
hings. In that way they become {
lore expert, and they would not be
onstantly losing time by changing g
rom one kind of work to something f

ECONOMICAL ADyERTISING

Competition for business is keen
and likely to remain so. This year
and the years following. are time to
buy advertising economically to
match in advertising the increased
eficiencies of production.
Newspaper advertising is low-cost,
productive, localized advertising. 1t
is the logical aid of business at a
time when volume is large, when
hand-to-mouth buying puts a premi-
um upon flexibility and control.
Newspaper advertising permits
more speed because it has four
wheel brakes.
Newspaper advertising can be To-
cused without waste upon the mar
kets of the greatest buying nation
on earth. 1t reaches the greatest
number of people and its seed is
sowed in fertile soil. That is, the
merchant buying newspaper adver-
tising space knows it is covering mis-
trade area and reaching the maxi
mum number of old and prospective
in that territory.
The Milford Chronicle is leader in
this rich market for advertised goods
in lower Delaware. It's readers look
to it for shopping information and
news of the commercial world, and
its advertisers look to it to apprise
the public of shopping advantages
and opportunities they offer.
Newspaper advertising, and news
paper advertising alone, can sell ev-
from patent medicine to au-
omobiles. 1t has done it, is doing it
Ind will continue to do it.

ly unbecoming issuing from a busi-
ness man.
Constructive criticism may find
fault with existing conditions but it
always is said in a way that sounds
like boosting. Knocking" is talk
ing too much about what the COM
munity isn't. Boosting" is talking
about what Milford is and can be.
The man in business, whether or
not he deserves it, gets most of the
credit or blame for what his COM
munity is. If he criticizes adverse
ly he is, in the public's eyes, Just

That community which is with
out faith in itself is without hone.
And if its business men lack faith
in it how can the community expect
to enjoy the faith of the lay citizen?
However, the faith Milford demands
of its citizens is not the blind faith
required of citizens of less FORUM
ate cities.
The wise business man never
knocks, regardless of how bad busi-
ness may be. He knows the "ham-
mer" may rebound and strike him.
Knowing an optimistic public is a
buying public and that consumers
tighten their purse strings with
he first cry of hard times, he ex-
lales optimism with every breath.

WHY FARMERS NEED THE
TARIFF

There are two aspects of the pro-
tective tariff that are of particular
interest to American farmers. One is
its effect in adding to the cost of
importing foreign products that
compete directly with their crops.
The other is its influence in proVid-
ing a broad and active market for
the things they have to sell.
The second is by all odds the more
important of the two. OF the total
farm output of the country, 85 per
cent is consumed within its borders;
only Is per cent is exported.
The domestic market of the Unit
ed States is the greatest market in
the world. The average expenditure
of the American family for food and
clothing, under which classifications
are included practically all farm
is greater than in any
other country. 1t is larger because
the policy of protection to American
industry has led to the payment of
better wages, and the maintenance
Of higher standard of living than
prevails elsewhere.
This is a phase of the tariff ques-
ion that is seldom dwelt upon by
hose who advocate opening our
markets to the products of the whole
world, yet it is the feature of most
yital importance.
THE TEST of generosity is the
lbility to contribute cheerfulIy to a
worthy cause even though tight
vad does the collecting.

VACATION TIME

OOluSIuluS more Jldn cnange OF
location is necessary if vacationists
who are able to take only two
weeks from their work each year
are to get the best results from the
time. There should be as nearly as
possible complete reversal of the
activities of the individual during
his employment at home.
The surgeon general of the United
States Public Health Service says
that indoor workers should make as
nearly as possible a complete
change to outdoors, and that work.
ers in the open will find their great
est recreation in reversing the con-
ditions with which they are famil-
lar in their employment.
The fact is that very few persons
are overworked physically, but
what they need is a change of en-
Vironment that will give them the
mental relaxation that is necessary
if the keenness for their tasks is
to be restored in the brief time
usually available for vacations.
There should be a minimum of sug-
gestion Of the job which has been
temporarily abandoned.
Vacation should be a definite
change from vocation, and unless
this can be secured to the maximum
degree much of the value of the
period of relaxation will be sacri-
iced. The person who can manage
% adapt himself promptly to condi-
ions that will produce the desired
'esults may count himself FORUM

1t should not be necessary to sug-
,est to any one the wisdom of care
ulness in the matter of eating and 4
