Between this Store and the Ordinary Country Store This sounds egotistical, but it is nevertheless a fact that may be asily proved. In the first place, volume of business enables any store to buy to greater advantage, & the wise merchant in a small town should aim first to make his volume im- portant. He may have to work for years at great sacrifice in order to do this. Having done this his stock must naturally increase in size, and (unless he combines in himself much of the wisdom of merchandising) in his large stock has a danger, because this is the danger of the largest stores, and really the reason why one sees so much bargain in the Mail Order and departmental stores is the large proportion of miscalculated buying, and the dictum or rule of the departmental store, is to carry nothing over from season to season. Now the average country store- keeper is not a specialist, nor can he afford to be. Between weighing out prunes, : measuring coal oil, and counting eggs, and keeping books, he has little leisure to sit down and scan the horizon, and so he mud- dles through with a living, and the Mail Order House takes the cream of his district's business, and this is certainly not financi- ally in the interests of the locality Perhaps by some intuition, or more likely by good luck, this store has already realized that what one store could do in a large degree, another store could advantage in a lesser, and in our stock of $75,000.00, there is very little of old or unsaleable, merchandise. It goes out, possibly with much regret at the loss, but it goes out if possible in its own season. But if not, it goes the next season with no thought of profits, and very little attention to the cost. 5 * ¥* i * So this week again we draw attention to the Cherry Tags on Boys' Clothing.
