r 4tt~mx With Which Is Incorporated The Bowmanville News Vol. 77 M. A. JAMES & SONS, Publishers. Business Men Hear Forceful Sales Address1 Editor of "Marketing," J. C. Kirkwood, gave 1 a r g e gathering new light on modem retailing. 'Modern Retail merchandisinlg and Salesmanship" was the subject of an intensely mnteiesting talk de- livered to the Business Men's Assoc- iation at the Higli School Auditor- ium )n Monday night by Mr. J. C. Kirkwood, Toronto, editor of "Mar- keting." The address provided material for coniderable thought and the es- sence of it wiil no doubt be the means of the merchant improving his own buiness to a great extent through his own effo)rts. Mr. Kirk- wood. tellmng of his early career, stated that he was thrown into the retail business by the death of his f ather in the 90S. He had no prac- tical knoîledge of retailmng and many questions cropped up to which, he could find no answer. Retailing, he said, was a subject of great length, breadth and depth. It covered the selling from a score of different stores, selling hundreds of different articles, and it also cov- ered the various styles of retailing, including the usual independent store. the chain store, the 5c and l0c store, and the house to house retail- ing that was becoming quite a part of modemn business. In al of these lines of business there appeared the questions of management. buying. selling. mark- ing, and the policy of the business, whether it would be cash or instaîl- ment. Retaiiing, he added, had also become more complicated through the diversity of stock carried. Years ago the drug store carried drugs, wlle today it carnies ice cream, candy, stationery, and a score of lines that are not necessarily aiiied wth the drug trade. The samne thing applied ta grocery stores with thse latter now, in many instances, car- rying stocks >f fruit and vegetables, f ish and meat. The speaker saw in this move the elimmnation of the butcher shop and its incorporation into the modern grocery store. Changes in retaii.ing were s,> rapid during the present decade that re- tailing was becoming an eminently more difficuit task each year, and a task that required speciai training and knowledge to cope with its ad- vance. In some cities where a towrn man- ager is a part of the municipal gov- enment a person wishing to open a retail store applies to the town manager who can tell him whether or not it would be profitable for hins ta do so and can refuse to let hini locate there if he sees that other businesses will be affected by his coming. Speaking especially of merchan- dising the speaker defined this sub- ject as the -activity or expedient used by sellers to accelerate the sale of their goods or the force to coni- pel their merchandise in the direc- tion of the buyer. This was done in various ways. Attractive window dis- plays, cartons printed sa that they appeal to the person seeing them, and litIle improvements of ail de- scriptions on the Products that (Contmnued on page 5) An Excellent Contribution J.

REV. W J. TODD ADDRESSED HOME AND SCHOOL CLUB Opening Fali Meeting Held at Centrai School With Good Attendance The first Fail meeting of the Home and School Club was held in Centrai Public School on Wednesday evening, Sept. 9th. The presîdent, Mrs. Frank Jackman, presided, and the meeting opened with the sngmng of *0 Canada." A large attendance listened with keen interest to an ad- dress by Rev. W. J. Tocld on "The Benef Lt of a Well Balanced Lit e." He assured those present he was flot there as a critic but as a f rîend jand as one deeply interested in the de- veiopment of education and the giv- ing of every chance to the boys and girls to make good. Methods in school were fine and teachers today were endeavoring to give the chiid the best education, but there was another side to training - home training. The greatest centres of learning were the homes in which children were taught obedience, dis- cipline and good habits, the speaker said. and a littie more thought and carefui attention was needed in the home. We are not just as perfect in 11f e as we should be, and there is a weakness somewhere. Are our children at home as much as they should be, the speaker asked. Mr. Toýdd made a strong appeal to the parents to see if they could flot con- ceive soniething for their children in the house 10 provide tools and materials and get them interested in their work s> that they would cease to stay away from home, and wouid grow up use! ul citizens. The attnib- utes of a well balanced lit e are character, sense of thrit t, f air play, neighbourliness, and respect for others, the speaker asserted. Mrs. T. Hamilton was in charge i /f the prograni which aiso included: iPiano solo. Miss Audrey Prout, and %vocal solo, Mrs. H. M. Foster. Prize for the largest attendance of moth- ers was won by Miss F. E. Moore's class. Mrs. F. Jackman tendered a hearty vote of thanks to the speak- er and to all who took part in the program. Presbytery of Peterboro Met In Locail Churcli St Andrew's Church was s ce ne of inspirational gathering last week. t Presbytery of Peterborough mnet for the eransaction of business in St. Andrew's Church, Bowmanville, on Tuesday. Sept. 8th., with a fairly good attendance of ministers and eiders. Rev. A. C. Reeves, B. A., Mod- erator pro-tem, céonducted devotion- ai exercises and constituted the court, and afterwards delivered a niuch appreciated address on Spir- itual Gifts and Diversity of Gi! ts, for which, on the motion of Rev.

Warkworth, hav- ing now arrived, took the chair, and guided the business of the court in his usual efficient anci courteous nianner. Rev. Dr. Thomison, honored clerk of the Presbytery submitted a comprehensive agenda for consid- eration and each item was deait with expeditiously, and with a view to the happiness and welfame of al tthose concerned.

A veryeary .voeo BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1931 FRUIT GROWERS ASK FOR SPECIAL HAlL LEGISLATION Delegation Sent Frons Newcastle Growers tb Ottawa inIi nterest of District Orchards Rit by Rail Aid in the marketing of appies Lisat were hît by the hail storm thîs summer by naming a special grade, wîll lie asked when a deputation zomposed of Fred W. Bowen, M .P.,I Chas. A. Wight, Fred C. Hoar and Wm. H. Gibson, representing the Apple Growers of this district, goes to Ottawa thîs week to intemview the Minister of Agriculture. This was decided at a meeting of the ,fruit growers althtie Fruit House on Friday night wisen a new provision made un tise Fruit Act had some cf- fect on the marketing of the crop. The chief compiaint however was a ruiing of tise inspector who states tisat an orchard hit by hail had oniy cuil apples, and under the act tisese 1 cuil appies cannot be marketed in t the usuai way. Il seems apparent i f rom the riemarks of the growers t tisa isail might damage an orcisard " 10 some extent and yet it might r leave hait the apples in perfect( shape. It was the marketing of t these perfect, or neariy perfect ap- t pies as cuils, through canning f ac-i tories or evaporating plants that 1 raised the discussion of thse fruit growers. Thr>ugh the fruit growers of the province an enactment was made 10 keep the culi apples off the market. According ta, the act, a culi apple is described as one that is diseased, has railroad worm, badiy deformed, or cul and is not edible. Apparentiy the hailed apple is perfectly edible and it would provide a hardship should the act be enforced kn this case. Speciai legisiation will be ask- ed 10 take came of the grower tisat is haiied, and in addition tise true de- finition of a cuil xviii be asked. Un- dem tise ruling in tise fruit -c te- hailed apple, uniess with the skin tomn, would not beciassed as a culi, while under the ruiing of tise fruit inspector the haîied apple is a cuil. Every grower present at this meet- ing was desirous of having the real cuil apple taken compietely f rom. the metail market. Il was stated tisat these culls are in many cases sold in thse cities as No. 1's. Thsis gives tise consumer in thse city a wrong impression o! tise appies grown kn tise province wisicis refiects back on tise fruit growers. An endeavour wi.ll be made to force tise retailer 10 mark thse correct grade on appies sold in stores and il la isoped to, have inspectors check tisese grades con- tinually so that the consumer will gel only a No. 1 apple when that number is bought instead o! being offemed a culi as a No. 1. The meeting Fnîday evening was weli attended by over forty growers in the district. with Russell Osborne as chaimman, who conducted the meeting in a most busknesslike mans- ner, and with regard 10 every cir- cumstance and side o! tise question.
