Irresistible Force Strikes

THEY TALK ABOUT TRACTOR PERFORMANCE THERE
Evening star., 1939-12-17

To get some consecutive idea of store
mechanics, let's assume that you have pur-
chased toy. Your requirements are modest;
you wish to pay cash and have your purchase
delivered, wrapped as gift. The girl who
waits on you was hired the Saturday after
President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving. She
speaks French and Italian. Perhaps this detail
seems unimportant to you but it isn't to the
store. It needs 700 interpreters.
She accepts your money and slips it into
the pneumatic device that carries it to one of
three tube rooms. Fortunately for you, it isn't
necessary to visit this place, which is noisier
than boiler factory. At the peak, $40 women
work here. Each day hundreds of thousands
of dollars pass through their deft fingers. So
far as you are concerned, the transaction is
completed in few minutes. But let's go along
with the toy you have purchased.
1t goes down one of seven spiral chutes that
lead to the two floors followed out of the
ground beneath the lowest selling floor. If the
chute is clear - if no thoughtless clerk has
put velocipede on it the toy arrives
safely at its destination and is put on one of a
hundred conveyor belts. Sorting bins line the
paths of these belts, each bin representing
certain area in the city. Well over thousand
people work here. Sixty-hve people work on
single detail: packing gay holiday baskets of
fruit. liquor and candy.
Men in this department have train and ship
schedules at their fngertips. They know how
long it takes package to reach Burma, and
how midget automobile should be packed to
arrive safely on the Gold Coast. They have
(Confinvsd on poee 1O)

Der of people flowing through each depart
ment. Day-to-day changes are frequently
necessary. If a jam develops around the hand
crocheted-snood counter, more space will have
to be found elsewhere. It's superb feat of
jigsaw juggling.
What would you do if five or six thousand
extra people appeared for lunch? But never
mind. The store can't call the riot squad when
this mob of hungry employees descends. With
its normal load more than doubled, the store
cafeteria survives only by adhering to hair
line schedules. Employees are relieved for
meals so that they will arrive at the cafeteria
at exact, prearranged times. During this
period, foods served are those which can be
quickly cooked and which are easily digested.
ANorHER backwash of this amazingly in
tegrated organization is the hospital. 1t is
stated by fourteen doctors, eighteen nurses
and four dentists. For the holiday rush eight
extra doctors are added This staff cares for
employees and customers alike. Perhaps you
have worked little too hard at your shopping
and faint. You couldn't pick better place.
Wheel chairs are strategically located behind
partitions. You are quickly tucked in one and
whisked into cleared elevator. Normal busi-
ness is upset for only matter of seconds. This
happens dozen or 90 times each day during
the rush.

be taught the velvety art of diplomacy. "a
number of times hopeful maiden ladies have
asked for husbands.) One blustery old gentle.
man came in during the height of the Christ
mas rush and wanted dead horse, which he
hoped would entice eels to a pond on his
property.
If the work burden becomes too great,
last moment from vacationing college STU
dents, anxious to earn little extra money.
The toy department, of course, presents
the greatest problem of all. Overnight it grows
from semidormant hideaway employing
fifty to sixty people into madhouse with as
many as 1,5OO workers. Display cases that
have been in storage eleven months replace
exhibits and less seasonal goods. All night
trucks rumble from warehouse to store with
an incredible variety of goods There are 125
types of dolls, and in ALL 600 different toys.
/ HE planning division is responsible for
much of the ease with which one department
is expanded and another shrunk in size.
Elaborate drawings indicate how much space
can be taken from nom Christmas goods, such
as trunks, millinery, mems underwear and
rugs, to provide space for negligees, watches,
mufflers, robes and other gift items.
Perhaps you note that the store doesn't
seem as crowded this Christmas as last. Sales
figures will very probably show you to be
wrong. More people, but, thanks to the plan
ming division, they were better handled. Quiet
departments were placed next to busy ones
to avoid hopeless snarls among the third of a
million people who will jam into the store on
peak day.
Planners keep constant checks on the num-

reasonable accuracy but there is no guessing
the appeal of novelty goods. If the new COM
bination egg poacher and drink mixer catches
the public fancy, the store must make heroic
last-minute efforts to satisfy the demand
Manufacturers must be persuaded to put on
night shifts, and trucks, driving day and
night, must be hired for the transport job
Employment began its upward surge in
August. Normally the store is stated with
1000 people. 1t needs 81 600 to handle the
holiday rush. This means that tens of thou
sands of people must be interviewed to get
the extra help wanted. One man will have but
one responsibility: to clean chewing gum off
the floor. A second will attend to canary birds.
Another, "tunneler," will be hired to dive
in jammed package chutes and clear them.
Plump, dumping checked Santa Clauses must
be recruited - usually from the ranks of un-
employed actors.
Each person selected must pass rigid
physical examination and certain aptitude
tests. Those who will sell goods must take
three-day training course. Helpers on trucks
must learn routes and stock boys must learn
requirements of departments where they will
work. Adjusters and personal shoppers must
