Work Toge! he r fo Fight Other Shopping Areas Retail merchants af a com- munity must reàlize that they are îîat in campetitian with each other but must unite ta meet the growing influence of the large metropolitan areas. Thesè words were spoken by R. A. Harris, presîdent of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce ta members of the Bowmanville Chamber Tuesday evening at a special dînner meeting in the Venture Inn. The retail section af a corn- munity is no longer a group of individual stores but one great store serving the community, he said. ln înany respects Mr. Harris is a Bowmanville merchant be- ing president af Walker Stores Lirnited which has one of its 3Z. stoire4 lix, this, tQwn..7-Ttie -É gù- speaker also serves as vice-president of Gardon Mac- Kay Limited. Effect of Autos The internal combustion en- gine has changed retail mer- chandising more than any other devclopment the speaker felt. He went on ta explain that early automobiles released peo- -pie from the rural areas and into the urban centres where they could live and shop. First ta feel the transition te the cities and towns were the small cross-road general storeis many of which have since dis- appeared. Improved transpor- tation finds the evolution con- tinuing as shoppers in the smaller towns are now travell- ing ta the large shopping cen- tres and supermarkets. The retail merchants of the smaller centres must keep pace with this change or else will disappear likce the small gen- eral stores Mr. Harris warned. Another startling change that must be fully cansidered b.y' retail merchants is the number of married women who are naw working ta supplement the family incarne. This in- -crea,?ed incarne and the fac-t thet women have, less time te spend in the household should be a boon ta merchants. Stili anotner trend is that of the shorter work week whicli wilI encourage "do-it-yourself projects" and sports participa- tion.
