PAGE SIX THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO 'PT~TTPSflAV WFT~RTTARV 4th 1fl4~ A thorough knowledge of mer- chandising was shown by Rotar- lan Robert "Bob" Cochran, the manager of the Stedman Store, Bowmanville, in an illumninating address given before the members of the local Rotary Club, gatherec for their luncheon-meeting at the Balmoral, Friday, January 22. He struck a note so typical of *his modesty in his opening words: *"It is natural for each of us to be proud of the trade or profession he happens to follow, so when I say that I arn a merchant and proud of it, I hope that you will not think that I am casting any aspersions on other callings. If I were not proud of my own call- ing, you would be justified in ask- ing me why I did not change to I. something else. As I do not wish to change, you may like to know why I tbink being a merchant is something to be proud of." Speaking of the essential fune- tion a merchant perfarms in mod- ern society, be said: *'We can visualize a community s0 healtby that it needs no doctors, so peace- fui that it needs no lawyers, or even s0 good that it needs no ministers; but we cannot imagine a modern city, town or village without merchants. To inquire whether the community makes the merchant or the merchant makes the community is something like discussing which came first, the hen or the egg, but I think you will agree that one of the marks of a good town is good stores. "The merchant bas a long and bonourable history. The voyages of the great explorers in the l5th, l6th and l7th centuries are so in- teresting from the point of their contributions to human knowledge that we are apt to forget that these contributions were mainly by- products of commercial ventures.

Try iti The Impraved Way -govemnments or private interests -in the hope of finding new mar- ekets for European products and new products ta be sold in the 9markets of the Old World. The purpose of the first circumnaviga- tion of the world was not ta prove Bthat the world was round - that had already been admitted - but fta discover whether the Spice Isîlands, the basis of Portuguese prosperity, were properiy witbin the Portuguese sphere of influence or whether they migbt be claimed by Spain. Portugal controlled the trade routes ta the east, sa the only safe route of approach ta the Spice Islands for a Spanish expe- dition was westward. "Incidentally, the spice trade fumnishes an illustration of the function of the merchartt, which is ta provide (at a profit, if possible) the goods bis custamers want. Spices were a necessity for aur forefathers wbo lacked the con- veniences of refrigeration. I do not think that spices prevented the decay of meat, but they dis- guised its more obviaus effects. The commercial importance of the spice trade declined as better methods for preserving meat were developed. The histomy of merchandising cantains many in- stances of the decline in import- ance of some types of gaads and the increase in importance of other types-changes dictated by chang- ing feshions or needs of the ulti- mate consumer. "It can easily be seen that the merchant must be alert to antici- -pate changes in consumer demand. This is more true taday than it was a generatian aga, for the reason that changes cen accur more quickly. To take one example, in a popular moving pîcture a few years ago, 'It Happened One Night,' one of the scenes - you might caîl it a strip-tease act - showed the maie star, Clark Gable, undmessing, and also showed that be was not weaing an under- shirt. It is reparted that there was an elmost immediate decline in the sale of men's undershirts whemever that picture was shown. "In wamen's feshions, the influ- ence of the mavies is even more impressive. A new fashion origi- nating in a Hollywood production quickly becomes familiar ta wom- en in evemy community on the continent and creates a demand thet the local merchants must be pepared to supply. The movies bave a direct influence on the sale of kitchen gadgets, bouse fur- nishings, china-in fact, almost everything we or our wives buy ta add ta the beauty of aur per- sans or aur homes. If you notice a merchant wbo is a regular movie-goem, please don't jump ta tbe conclusion that be bas a soft 1f e. He may be merely putting extra effort into the study of bis business." With tbe movies as an influ- ence on the cbanging pattern of merchandising, Mm. Cochran link- ed the automobile. "Befare we bad aur modemn ease of transpor- tation, smaller cammunities tend- ed ta become isalated. Merchants in the smaller tawns and villages had a virtual monapoly of trade, tempered ta some extent by the inraads of the mail-order bouse and occasianal shopping trips of their regular custamers ta nearby cities. "The automobile gave custam- ers the appartunity ta show their independence and the movies, the ýMpr2u' Rotarian Bob Cochran Outlines The Crowth of Merchandising SHAW'S FARM FORUM Met at the home of Mm. and Mrs. Austin Wood, Jan. 27, with 22 present. Elmer Cox was con- venor. Four groups were formed ta discuss the subiect, "Credit Unions and Farm Credit.. It was decided the only available sources of credit in aur community are chartered banks and private boans. These sources are not practical for those whose need is greater. due ta higher rate of înterest and farmers being unable ta give ne- cessary security demanded. Credit Unions arganized by the farmers themselves with a sympatbetic understanding of the farmer would be beneficial. £ I minob- ject ta help the man of small means and not ta take advantage of bis necessity. Farmers wouid need ta have study groups ta get information on Credit Unions, booklets for use in Forums are available. In order ta become ai member one must subscribe at least $5.00. We shauld secure the services of a Credit Union specialist who bas been instrumental in mek- ing a success af one. There are many successfully operated Un- ions in Quebec, wbere the system first began. We were pleased to see The Statesman quoted in our paper, "Farm Forum Facts." S.S. NO. 4 FARM FORUM The Farm Radio Foru mof S.S. No. 4, Darlington, met an Jan. 25 et the home of Mm. L. J. Courtice with an ettendance of 26. The subject for discussion wes Credit Unions. Rev. H. Linsteed gave the meeting some informa- tion regarding Credit Unions. 1. (a) Banks and persanal boans are the only sources of credit in this cammunity. Bank interest is et the rate af 6 per cent., and interest on personai boans is fram 4 ta 7 per cent. (b) Bank rate of interest on on short term boans is too bigh, and too much secur- ity is demanded by benks and boan compenies. 2. Credit Union money wauid be kept in the cammunity for the bènefit of the community. As the Credit Union rate of interest would be lower, the laan would be of greater value ta the borrow- er. And one would feel freer to go ta a Credit Union in which be was e shamebolder for a boan, than ta go ta a bank. As very smell deposits cauld be made in the Credit Union, tbrift would be encoureged. A borrower wouid feel free ta borrow from e Credit Union et seasonal times when be really needed money badly, radios and magazines witb nation- al advertising increesed the vani- ety of their needs or whims. These influences bave, I think, been mainly responsible for the changes in merchandising methods we bave seen in the pest twenty-five years," be stated. Mm. Cochran touched on the particular type of merchandising in which he is engeged, that of the chain store. "The growth of the chain-store method of mer- chandising bas perelleled the rapid changes in general mer- chandising metbods. It is true thet there were chain stores long before the developments which I have outlined began to occur, but their opemations were mainly con- fined ta the lerger centres of population. Their passibibities of grawtb were bandicapped by the seme circumstances as iimited the possibilities of expansion of indi- viduel smaib-town merchents. "It is importent ta remember thet cheins of stores, with few exceptions, were expansions of a single store. In some instances the development was accidentel. There was nothing magical about the pracess. The ules of good business were not suspended in fevour of chains, and not al cheins bave been successful. "As you know, one of the attrac- tions of chain stores ta the average consumner bas been the reesonabie prices et which their weres are sold. The chains have no patent in these savings. One of the most obvious is the cesh-and-carry sys- tem of selling which wes intro- duced by the chains but bas been adopted by many other merchants. The saving due to that system is really earned by the customer and is rightly passed on to bim in the fomm of lowem prices. Other sav- ings arise througb careful buying, efficiency in warehousing, rapid transportation, quick turnover of stocks," be concluded. An expression of appreciation ta Botarian "Bob" for bis inter- esting talk ta the club was voiced by Rotarian Gea. W. James. "It is one of the fînest classification talks that I bave had the privil- ege of bearing," bhe said. Farm Forums MAPLE GROVE FARM FORUM Maple Grave Farm Forum met at Ernest Twist's witb twelve pre- sent. There was a fair discussion on Credit Unions. It was decided from what had been leerned that Credit Unions were a good idea and were a benefit ta short time loans. Decision was made ta study Credit Unions for March. Refresbments were served by the hostess. NEWCASTLE FORUM Newcastle Faim Forum met at the home of Wellington Farrow January 25, with 25 present. in- cluding Rev. R. E. Morton. Subi ect for discussion wasi "Credit Unions For Farmers." It was agreed in aur Forum that "<Eredit Union," as we understand it, is not needed in aur immediate community. But it was generaily agreed that further study sbould be made of the set-up of Credit Unions. Sorne good contests were canducted by Mrs. Honey, after wbich lunch was served. Next ,Meeting will be held at the home of Mm. and Mrs. Harry Jase, New- castle. but when a bank would think his security was poor. For longer temm and largerI boans the government should loanj ta the farmer at a reasonable rate of intemest. A Credit Union would be or- ganized by following instructions laid down in Famm Forum Facts. The first step is intensive study. The meeting of Feb. lst will be held at the home of Mr. and Mis. Elton Werry. PROVIDENCE FARM FORUM The Forum met et the home ai Mm. and Mrs. Neil Mutton. Our subiect wes, "Credit Unions For Farmers." The only aveilable source of credit in our community is the bank and this is inadequate because the benk demands e cer- tain amount of collateral before it will boan money ta the farmer. jThis means that the people who really need help mast are unable ta get it. The Credit Union sys- tem would help the people af smeli means and it would foster the ca-operetive spirit in the com- munity. The surplus manies et the end of the financiel yeer wauld be retumned ta the people wha had womked together. We could estabiish a large Credit Union by e federatian of severel smeller Unions. To do this e meeting wauld be celied ta deter- mine those wha were in favor of the argenization, then get in- formation on Credit Unions and farm study groups. In this way we cauld go on step by step until our Union was orgenized. We bad 34 et our meeting, some of whom walked, some came by horse and cutter, wbile others started out by tractor and trailer an dthen by car. Our next meet- ing will be et Mr. F. Marrili's. BLACKSTOCK AND EGYPT FARM FORUM L Blackstock and Egypt Farm Forum met et the home of Roy Fergusan ta, discuss the question, "Credit Unions For Farmers." The thirteen meml-ers whoaet- tended the meeting came ta the fallowing conclusions: i. Our main source of credit is the bank witb interest rates et 6 per cent, for barge boans and 7 per cent, for smel bans- (The rate of interest on bank boans is toa bigh and too mucb security is demended for the poor man wbo really needs the boan ta, take edvantage of it). 2. A Credit Union wouid bene- f it the poorer citizen, who bas not the security for a bank boan.

A minister had been invited ta din. ner. Grace was said. The pro- verbial raast chicken was put on the table, a treat invamiably re- served for the minister. But early in the meal the hast and hostess were called out of the raom.. Up- on their return a little later, how- ever, the hospitable pair' were greeted by an astonishing sight: the whole carcass of the fawl had been stripped ta the bare bones. Nothing was said however. After alI, they were the hasts and it was the minister who had done the awful deed. A short time later, though, when showing the dom- inie around the farm, the farmer burst out laughing. A big red moaster, perched atop a dunghill, was crowing lustily, and every time the farmer looked at him, he went into fresh spasms of laugh- ter. At last the minister could stand it no longer. 'I What's sae humorous aboot a mere rooster crowing?" he asked testily, un- able ta restrain his curiosity. "Tis no the crowin', Reverend, 'tis the cause," replied the still guffaw- ing farmer. "Look at him, he's a' puffed up wi' pride because bis son's just entered the meenistry!" Many other welI chosen hum- orous illustrations of the Scot- tish character, love of adventure and travel (Scots are found in every country in the world) were mentioned by Rev. MacKay and garnished with a wealth of nar- rative. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered ta the speaker at the con- clusion of bis address by Dr. W. C. Herriman with a f ew appro- priate remarks. Scottish community singing, led by Don Linden, accompanied by Miss McKeowan and Bruce Mad- den, was follawed by two High- land lassies, Cynthia Davidson and Frances Sheddon. These two clever artists, accompanied by Piper McGregor, did the Sward Dance and Highland fling ta the great delight of those assembled. Mrs. S. H. Jeffery cleverly sum- rnarized the audience's apprecia- ion of the efforts of all the per- formers in a few well chosen words, mentioning, in passing, :hat Mr. Keith was married toaa Durham girl and that the two young dancers who had performed so effectively were as much a credit ta the excellent training of their teacher, Miss Wright, as Piper MacGregor was to the tra- dition of bis bagpipes. Mrs. Willard and Miss Foster presided at the tea table. When ali had been served, Mr. Pollard noved a vote of thanks ta Dr. and VIrs. MacDonald and their group for the Scottish refresbments.
