CAUSE Of CHAIN
STORE GAINS
DISCUSSED
By MERRYLE 3. RUKEYsER

BY MERRYI4E y. kUkkHSER
NEW YORK, Sept, 6.--The chain
store idea continues to sweep
through the country, as chains in.
crease their sales more rapidly
than independent organizations.
As Americans raise their living
standards and take on additional
luxuries, they seem inclined to
watch their outlays for necessities
and rebel against fundamentally
high prices.
The rise of the chains has
naturally raised a storm of pro.
test among small and inefficient
merchants who have been
crowded out. Much of the com.
plant, which has been echoed In
legislative halls. is emotional Ia
character.
Objections Cited
Robert w. Lyons, executive sec.
retary, National Chain Store Asso-
citation. summarizes the obiec.
tions which have been raised as
follows:
II. That II the chain system
Is to continue II will wreck
countless businesses which are
unable to feadjust themselves to
the new order.
2. That the chain stores are
drying up the springs Of OppOr.
sunity for the young men of our
80. That the chain stores are
paying starvation wages.
II. That the chain stores pay
less taxes than their similarly
situated competitors.
IS. That the chain stores are
not community minded
IS. That the chain-stOre growth
implies not far distant nlOnOp.
oily.
:. '"rhat the chain store Is
mechanizing and de.persONaIizing
our civilization.
Where Conflict Lies
As matter of fact, the real
conflict is less between little bust.
ness and big business than be.
tween efficiently managed enter.
prises and inefficiently managed
concerns.
Lyons, writing on food chain
store merchandising. stresses the
subioined seven factors which he
says account for the uccess OF
both chain stores and affluent in.
dependent merchants:
1. A retail store must be well
lccated-must have ready access
to consumers.
2. The store must be attractive
In its exterior and interior design
and must constitute a nappv trad.
ing place for Its customers.
3. 1t must maintain a steady
supply of adequate stocks of good
and salable merchandise.
4. The factor of service must
be carefHlly weighed and measured
in, relation to the needs and de-
mands of customers and the re.
ouirements OF competition.
8. The relations OF employees to
consumers must be carefully
studied and intelligently disci.
plined and developed.
8. Good management, which sug.
gests the proper correlation and
direction of every department of
the business. must be present.
z. Prices must be reasonable.
Lyons feels that the key to
chain store success is explained
in the words, standardize, sim.
plify and economic.

Baby Sal Sorio

Los ANGELES, May 2l. U.H--
Although floored in the fourth round
with punch which appeared low,
and apparently suffering with Il
sprained right hand from the fifth
round on, Tod Morgan easily retain
ed his junior lightweight title last
night in a 10 round fight against Sal
Sorio, hard hitting Mexican.
More than 1900 fans crowded
into Wriglcy Field to see the fight,
in which the Seattle champion gave
the challenger a fast boxing lesson.
In the third round Sorio clipped u
stiff right to the champions chin
and followed with II swishing left,
which apparently struck low, and
dropped Morgan to the floor. He
was up without a protest.
Sal rushed out desperately in the
ninth and tenth rounds, trying for
a knockout, but was unable to get
past Morgan 5 stiff left iabs.
