THE RETAILER IS A PUBLIC SERVANT

In commenting on the future of the
retailer, DR.. Paul Nystrom, professor of
Marketing, Columbia University says:
1T seems necessary to me to make a
statement on what believe to he a danger
Gus trend in retailing, namely shorter
hours of store operation.
Retailers have a ptblic zee to
perform and that is to sell goods to CON
SINNERS when consumers want to buy them
Furthermore, in the years that lie imme-
dfatelv ahead of us, if this country is to re-
can prosperous peacetime conditions
With full employment, retailers must sell
more goods than they have ever sold be-
fore. 1t is going to be difficult, if not
impossible, to increase retail sales if at the
same time we cut down the number of
hours of store operation.
"A retail store is not like a factory that
can be operated or closed down at will. If
it is to serve its proper purpose, it must be
open to the public at the time that the
public wants to shop. There are millions
Or customers who are at work in factories,
offices and on farms, who eant~shop dur
ing the middle of the day. Factory hours
are not shopping hours. There is real
danger to our economy many effort to
match store hours of operation to the hours
of operation of the industries.
Among the great advantages of the
American distribution system, from the
standpoint of consumers, are the numerous
types of competing retail establishments.
For example, the chain stores, while only
doing little over twenty per cent of the
total retail business, have since their in
ception had a salutary influence on con-
sumner service. PROFESSIONALLY, hours of
store operation in the distribution industry
are tailored more closely to consumer
needs because of the chains.

TO BOMB ANTARCTICA

Captain Eddie Ricleenbaeker, noted
'fier., makes the interesting suggestion that
atomic bombs be used in the vast unchart-
ed areas of Antaretica, to increase know
ledge about rich mineral deposits that are
supposed to be in that region.
Pointing out that explorers reported
the presence of gold, iron and copper, as
we'll as coal and the possibility of oil, the
aviator proposes that aircraft and atomic
explosives might unlock the ice stores
that withhold the potential riches of the
Antarctic Continent.

Chapter l

III sighed sadly as she looked
- about her. The place looked
abandoned and forlorn.
Angelina's wedding had been
| like a cyclone ind she had been
right in the middle of it., seeing
caterers, sending out invitations
arranging for the wedding break
fast, listing the presents and en-
gaging detectives to guard them
Some of these things had to be
paid for Immediately and Di, not
wanting to bother Angelina, had
exhausted her meager funds.
Surely, Angelina would settle up
before leaving on her honeymoon.
But she had not, and Di was now
almost penniless.
With a sigh, she was closing
the door when she caught q
glimpse of herself in the mirror.
That image depressed her. A
slender, fair-haired girl with
blue eyes and a detached, absent
minded air, she was pretty in a
way, but it was not way anyone
noticed.
Perhaps she'll remember and
send me a check" sighed Di, as
picking up her hat and coat she
went downstairs to wait for Con-
nor, Angelina's chauffeur, who
was calling for her.
"I'll find something to do to-
morrow" she told herself.
She had telephoned that morn
ing to the landlady of the room
ing house where she had spent a
horrible month before she had got
her job with Angelina, and the
laf1dladyt had said there wasiSa
vacant room she could have, at
seven dollars a week. She had
highly unpleasant memories OF
that house, but she did not know
where else 10 go.

A miser is person who has heaps of
money and no taste for all it can buy; but
he, paradoxically, is not selfish otherwise
he would blow it in on himself, instead of
eventually leaving it for others to enjoy.
As the word implies miser is miserable
without the aptitude to acquire happiness
with abundance of the means at hand.

HOT WATER

Far more important than any political
party, for more important than money, is
adherence to the truth. For that reason our
blood warmed when we read that Harold
Ickes, secretary of the interior, had re-
fused to tell lie to save any party's or
anybody's face.
Ickes during the Ii years he had
been secretary, was a straightforward
and plain-spoken man. He had never held
back his punches when he knew he was
in the right, and his irony and sarcasm at
times were admirable. 1''3 =
}ft Key Westers may recall Ickes' tell
ing somebody-we cannot. recall who he
was :, you've got ants in your pants -
Besides, at all the hearings in which he
had testified before congressional COM
mittees he was never at a loss for words.
But it is not as ready speaker that
The Citizen is now considering him; it is
as man determined to tell the truth, re-
CARELESS of whom it involves.
Loose talk to gain ones ends, despite
what they may be, betrays mind that
cares little about the truth. During the last
few months the people of Key West have
been RECALLED, if we may apologetically
use that term, with a plethora of loose
talk, which, as we have remarked often,
leads only to disputes and the. creation of
enemies, which retards the progress of
a eityzsna pr big. .ssnN 40 AseS
a Rrge and cQunter-charges have
been iying hiek 9ahd fast and chaJe not
accomplished single constructive thing.
The only conclusion to be reached is that
some men would not find life worthwhile
if they cleared their minds of contention.
They seem to prefer being forever in hot
water.

this. even when full discount is
