show that Independent stores handle
| 7s.1 per cent of retail trade. Chain
stores receive 22.S per cent, with the
small remaining balance done BY
house-to-house and catalogue selling.
There has been practically no
change In these percentages In the
last five years.
On the basis of numbers, the latest
government figures show that there
are almost one and one-half million
Independent stores in operation, as
against less than 100000 chain
stores: Again, this ratio has been
remaining practically constant.
To quote Roger Babson: Despite
some OF the unfair practices offthe
chains (which now have been pretty
generally corrected), 1 believe that
they have brought far more benefits
than they have injury" This is the
view generally held by all fair-minG-
ed observers of the retail situation,
including progressive representa-
tives of independent merchants or
ganizations. And Il would seem that
the public at large holds a similar
view, as is indicated by the declin-

RETAIL FACTS

Two principal arguments are used
In support OF legislation that would
hamper or destroy chain stores
that they take great deal osIt OF the
community and leave little or moth
ing, and that they are driving the
Independent stores out OF business.
. So far as the frst argument Is
concerned, the cold statistics show
that of every dollar taken in by
chain stores, rs cents goes to the
manufacturers and producers from
whom they buy their goods. Thirteen
cents goes to pay the wages of local
citizens employed by the stores. Five
an done-half cents Is absorbed by
taxes and incidental expenses. -Four
cents goes to local property owners
in the form of rents. One and une-
half cents is used to pay the cost of
local newspaper advertising. This
leaves three cents, which Is retained
by the chains TO cover interest on
Investment. depreciation and profit.
ii So far as the second argument is
concerned, statistics compiled by the

LOADED WITH DYNAMITE

In a recent article, Gordon Cook,
a spokesman for organized fndepen-
dent retailers, observes that efforts
TO legislate the chains out of bush
ness "are loaded with dynamite so
far as the independent grocer Is con-
cerned." .e
Furthermore, he says, "Such eff
forts are futile because all the chain
stores have to do to avoid being put
out of business is to change their
form of organization. They turn
their system into voluntary chains,
consolidate stores into super EAR
kets, or follow some other plan
which will remove the penalties lev
led against regular chain groups.
Equally important, almost every
attempt to tax the chains out OF
business has resulted In additional
taxes being placed upon the inde-
pendent grocer.
There is only one way to put the
food chain store out of business and
that Is for the independents to out
merchandise them"
In recent years. volume OF busi-
ness done by chain stores. as COM
pared TO volume done by independ-
ents, has tended to decline. Unprej-
udiced economists who have survey
ed merchandising. are largely OF fhe
opinion that chain growth has about
reached it's apex and that in the fu-
ture the business done by chains
will either remain constant or de-
crease.
Independent merchants, through
mass buying associations, have met
chains on their own ground. The
only merchants who have reason to
fear chains are those who are behind |
the times and are inetiicient-and
such merchants are doomed In any
event. Merchants VIII advocate pun
itive legislation against the chain
systems endanger their own exis-
tence.

FOSTER HOMES FOR CHILDREN

! A foster home program ior youni
children who can properly be consid
cred public wards by reason OF neg
lect or dependency is beng iaancnet
by the State Board OF Charities tnrt
its Child Welfare Division. The pro
gram is being directed by G. Rollir
zane, executive director, assisted by
Miss E. Kathryn PeHnypacker, Kent
| county worker. Appropriations foI
this purpose were made by the leg
islature at its recent session and are
to be used eventuallysfer a statewide
service of foster home care for
needy boys and girls. .sa
The first steps toward establish
ing this service are being taken in
Kent county. Private agencies which
have been receiving state assistance
I'M order to give long time care to
children who might naturally be con-
sidered a public responsibility are
gradually transferring such cases to
the State Board of Charities. Other
children In all three counties are
constantly being referred 20 the
state agency by individual citizens
and other social service agencies,
who feel that the home conditions OF
these boys and girls are intolerable.
The greatest need for making such
a program effective and helpful TO the
children involved Is group or ear
nest foster parents who are willing to
share their homes and affections and
give of their time and energy In pro-
viding a wholesome substitute for
broken or highly unsatisfactory
homes, as well as being understand
ing substitute parents for children.

fering from neglect or mistreatment.
Child Welfare Agencies may know
children needing foster homes, but
they cannot give the twenty-four-
hour-a-day care that such children
need. 49, '.f,M
This is the job OF the willing, hard
working foster mother who comes to
a child-placing agency saying she
wants to look after some boys or
girls, or care for baby. Her mo-
tives for wanting child or children
may be varied or Just the simple.
universal one of love for children.
But whatever her motives she is ap- |
plying for a real job, both challeng- |
ing and responsible. The care of |
other peoples children needs to be
in such spirit Of SER
vice and with such sense OF re-
sponsibility, that courage may be
found to meet the everyday, as well
as the unusual problems, which con-
front all agencies and individuals in
in more wholesome child
hood for our least fortunate boys and
girls. -
Foster mothers who wish to apply
Tor the care of children in this new
state program will find Ia the State
Board OF Charities partner with
whom to share the problems and re-
possibilities of growing childhood.
