Views onAdvertising Are Given
By Speakers at Merchant Clinic

Varied views on advertising
were aired yesterday before a
Merchants Clinic at the Shore
ham Hotel.
A local clothier warned that
over jealous promotion such as
the annual George Washington
Birthday sales, can do harm to
the merchandising standards Of
the National Capital.
ut is my own opinion that
we're cutting our Threats, :"
Gerald Grosner said.
Over-emphasis on the George
Washington Birthday sales,
which are given wide publicity
over. the country, he indicated.
is casting reflections on Wash
ington and is his oponion, is I'M
necessary to increase sales in a
city like the National Capital.
Good merchandising and care
fully enviSioned promotion
would make up any loses from
the omission of such sales dur
ing the business year. in view
of the thousands of white collar
workers in the city, Mr.. Grosner
suggested.
Mr.. Grosner heartily Endorsed
bonus" contests for statesmen to
encourage their interest, but he
warned merchants to be sure
such contests are conducted so
the winner receives a fair re-
ward.
NJ. Belmont Yer Standing
speaking at the Merchants
Clinic in the Shoreham Hotel,
said that present-day methods
call for selling a prospective
customer before he gets into the
store.
If selling can't be done by
your statesmen, it has to be done
by your advertising" he de-
clared.
He said retailers should pro-
mote sales. rather than low
profit merchandise, give-away

prices, loss leaders and easy
credit items.
There is a new moneyed-aris-
tocracy in the country today
which has the buying willingness
to purchase anything a merchant
has to sell. Retailers who say
the public has stopped buying
have simply stopped selling" he
said.
He said many merchants still
do not realize that they are back
in a buyers market situation,
and have to promote their goods
effectively in order to sell them
The Merchants Clinic was
sponsored jointly by the Wash
ington Junior Chamber of Com
merce and the Sales Executives
Club Of Washington.

Retailers Convention
In New Orleans Hears
I'd. {. Controllers

Representatives of two WASH
ington stores were speakers to-
day at the 33d annual conven-
ton of the Controllers Congress
of the National Retail Dry Goods
Association in New Orleans.
Richard w. McEwen, control
Ter for the Hecht Co.. addressed
the assembly in the Hotel Roose-
welt on Determination of
Branch Store Gross Margin"
For William Hahn & Co., Con-
troller Abe Coonin presented
THE Case Against Net Profit
Determination.
The Hecht Co.. its controller
said. has accepted the philosophy
completely in all divisions, that
separate gross margin data by
department by stores is not nee
essary to obtain an above aver
age gross margin performance.
I'VE in the control DIVISION"
Mr.. McEwen added. consolidate
the purchases. mark-downs.
shortage, discount and altera-
ton expense for all three stores.
by departments, into a composite
gross margin for one depart
ment. The buyer of the depart.
ment receives sales and mark
downs separately for the three
stores and of this information,
the buyer acts as the clearing
house for the mark-down break
down by stores rather than the
controllers office issuing a re-
port" He concluded by explain
ing that experience had taught
him that the composite gross
margin provides all that is need
ed at a lessened operating cost.
Mr.. Coonin pointed out in his
address that Hahn's branch store
managers responsibility is See
ing that the store is properly
serviced and direct pay roll costs
kept within an agreed percent
age to sales in his store" The
company has been operating
branch stores for more than
