Houses
Reduce Prices 10
Meet Competition
By J D. welIoeh
serrA A-.rssa- s=~,sss-s Ats.@e<.

New York. May ss-Chae&ge s
ma ,or nsAil-ogcer houses have
started mailing their midx1mras;
alers 70 millions O. homes. and
the books uniformly stress one
note. price reductions. Actually
so-eaIled reductions are SlsxheS
made IN previous catalogue prices
and largely echo adjustments Is
made by retail stores across the
nation.
More than 400 price cuts are
featured in one catalogue. and IN
additional special. of price offer
ings are spotlighted. Reductions
vary in extent aeeordtng TO the
type Of merchandise involved. bat
the company points out they are
considerably greater than At any
other sale in our history"
Stores Can Cut 6uteker.
Another mail-order house head
lines price cuts ranging from 10
10 20 per cent, and q comparison
with previous tickets reveals tta,
practically all merchandise has
been marked down 10 competitive
levels as OF the publication dead
line. Other flyers also reflect anx-
iety to hold business that may pe
jeopardixed by quicker markdosrs
possible in independent and chain
stores
Mail order sales still are concen-
trated in rural areas. but such To-
calities today are being brought
nearer by surface and air routes
TO shopping centers. More and
more store clothes" are being
bought In stores. Because the
farmers wife is buying more than
ever before. she also Is shopping
more closely. In standards OF liv-
ing and appearance she Is hardly
distinguishable from her city
sister.
High farm income Is attracting
an increasing number OF retail
outlets to the crop belts. In April
non-farm employment was OF
255. 900 while farm employment
gained 427,000. Before the war
Bucks distribution was 90 per
cent metropolitan and 10 per cent
rural. Today it Is $3.50. II is
hardly surprising that greater af-
fiuence draws keener competition
Monthly Flyers Suggested.
Maii-order houses may yet find
1t expedient to substitute monthly
flyers for seasonal catalogues, par
ticularly II material price changes
we're likely during or after cir
culation Of the books. On the
other hand, printing and handling
costs have scared, and one mail
order house has even tried news
stand sales of its catalogue TO de-
fray some OF the expense.
Periodically revised price lists
are another possibility. but they
too might lag behind swifter store
revisions. No less OF q problem
Is that of purchasing and inven-
tory. Mail-order Arms last month
returned as much as 30 per cent
Of remittances because Of "out Of
stocks" During period of de-
clining prices. their relatively large
inventory commitments entail pro-
portionate lnarkdown liabilities.
Midsummer flyers stress on
price may mean more than meets
the eye. 1t may mean the ware
house Is finding itself in closer
competition with the store.
