YOUR STOREKEEpEH
AND TIE WAR

This country owes a debt Of
gratitude to the retail industry.
For no industry has shown a
more aggressive and cooperative
spirit in dealing with the tremen-
dous problems imposed by our
war economy. That goes for chain
stores, independent stores, da-
partment stores and all other ac-
cepted forms of retail distribu-
ton.
Long before Federal price con-
troll was adopted, retailing in ge-
neral went to work to hold prices
down. Whenever possible, it low
cred its operating costs and pass
ed the savings on to the consumer
In many instances, it voluntari-
ly reduced its own modest mar
gins OF profit in order to control
prices. 1t is a significant fact that,
over long period of time, whole
sale prices increased to a far
greater extent than retail prices.
In other words, had retailers in
creased their mark-up on the "a
sis of the wholesale price index.
the cost of living would have
been substantially higher than it
actually was.
AS shortages and priorities
became more severe, retailers
took the lead in advising consum-
ers on how to select anil use
suitable substitutes. They issued
factual information which show
led the consumer how to make
many kinds of articles last long
er. And in the food field, retailers
are an important factor in ad-
vancing the National Nutrition
Campaign, which is designed to
guide the housewife in preparing
healthful, appetizing meals at
minimum cost.
Today, retailers are proving
their abilities as statesmen of War
Stamps. A short time ago, ere
tailers for Victory" drive was
started, in which all kinds and
sizes of stores participated. The
object is to sell $l,OO0.OOO,OOO
worth of War Stamps and Bonds
each month for the duration. Re-
ports on the early weeks of the
campaign show that, as usual,
Americas retailers are doing the
job with complete and spectacu-
lar success.
Your store, in short, is more
than just a place where goods
are bought and sold in routine
fashion. Retailing is working to
protect the consumer to the ulti-
mate of its abilities on the one
hand-and to give maximum SER
vice to the war effort on the
other.
