This little miss In looking to see why Sayvette's new Westwood Mall store were busy as customers those in front aren't moving on, but the checkouts at noched to the store on opening day. Sayvette's Department Stores have opened their 10th Metro retail store-and their second in Mississauga-with a gala sale in the smart Westwood Plaza of Malton. Thousands of shoppers invaded the store on Thur- sday, October 28, to pick up some genuine bargains. "They were not out just to visit. They're buying." These were the words of John Lane, chief of the display department for the retail organization. The Westwood Store is smaller than most Sayvette shops. This one contains 60,000 square feet-30,000 each on two floors-as compared to the usual 100,000 sq. ft. and up. Missing, and really missed, is an eating place. Shoppers will have to go to other places in the mall for their Thousands of buyers jammed the newest of the Sayvette chain of department stores on opening day last Thursday and, as one company official put It: "They're buying not just Parents who attend teacher-parent interviews and open houses regularily are not the parents teachers are really interested in seeing. The school consultative committee. consisting of five parents and five teachers, meet four or five times a year to discuss various school problems. Although the committee cannot make any changes in the school system, the results of these informal discussions can hopefully result in a better understanding between parents and teachers, Teachers explained that parents of a child that is a problem in the classroom never attend when invited to school functions, leaving clear evidence that they are not prepared to help solve the problem the teacher is having with their child. A firm believer that parents should stay out of the Classroom and leave the teaching to our teachers, the consultative committee is a good place where we can air our views as parents, at the same time listening to the teacher's side of the argument. This was revealed last week during a school con- sultative meeting at Cordelia Junior Public School. Sayvette's opens tenth outlet Parents-teachers mid-shopping refreshment break. Mr. J. Cairoli, advertising manager for the firm, ex- plained that the compact size of the store fits in with the over-all merchandising program of Sayvette's, customer convenience. "We have designed this store with the customer in mind," he told us. "There are cash registers in every depart- ment so that buyers can pick up their one of two items and pay for them on the spot so that they can save time in not having to line up at the check-outs. Other con- veniences--perhaps not apparent to the shopper-is that the various departments are cubed around a central core area making it easier to locate and move on to another. Sayvette's, an all Canadian organization, first The general feeling on senior public schools among the parents was that they were not a good idea. They stated that in grade seven, children were too young to be sent from a public school that encourages them to be individuals - as far as learning capacity goes but where they have one teacher to whom they can relate - to a high school routine where they are shunted from classroom to classroom, spending a year never really getting to know any of their teachers what they wanted. They maintained that they would rather see marks for progress in their child's work and also a comparison of how their child is doing in respect to the rest of the class. Parents felt that sooner or later their child would have to face this competitive world and, regardless of the teachers efforts to treat each child as an individual, the child was still aware of how they were doing in reading, writing and arithmetic. And argue we did. We discussed report cards. Parents felt that the report card sent home with children in the lower grades was not Discipline was discussed but it is a very difficult area to come to any real con- clusions, Both parents and The Malton store employs area residents-some 100 of them.

Since that September 7, 1961 date they have expanded by adding nine more and current plans, Mr. Cairoli advised, call for another 10 within the next five years.

"Merchandise is selected on two counts," Mr. Cairoli said. "The lines are chosen for fashion-be it clothing or hardware-and quality. There is no quality loss for the sake of price and all our goods are competitive in price to any retailer in Metro. The only thing we disagree with is the com- pany's advertising slogan "Sayvette's will surprise you".

The Bad Boy, who has seen his empire grow from a humble beginning of one gingy store and a borrowed 2,000 into a thriving $3 million appliance business, owes his success to a Concept he believes is the most perfect merchandising technique ever conceived. he says. "I'd rather see people by a product- even if we make a low profit - than see them leave the store buying nothing." "I'd rather make a low profit on an item and sell ten, then make a large profit on an item and only sell one," His ideas can't be too far wrong. They've worked pretty well in the 16 years he has been in the business. The bad Boy name came from a wholesale salesman friend who told Lastman that his competitors were hostile because of his price cutting ideas and super- salesmanship, They think youve a bad boy, lastman." he told him. The name seemed to fit his plans. Mel Lastman is not ad- verse to seeking out gim- micks to gather publicity for his operations and he has pulled off some dandies.
