Head Of Controllers Congress Sees Need Of More Sales To Break Even.

Retail dry goods prices nevor d'.d gj up In proportion to the wholesule prices, and are now almost at a prewar level, according to Carlos B. Clark of Detroit, chairman of tha controllers' consres3 of the Natlona.1 Retail Dry Goods association, which la having a thre-day session this morning at the Hotl Sherman In Chicago. "Returns from a questionnaire sent, out to merchants In 35 states dolus an Rg:rei?ate business of $200,000,000," said Mr. Clark. ";,-how an average net pro'H of only per cent. Prloes In genera; are 33 1-3 per c;nt lower than they were last fail, and will drop another 10 per cent before winter. 'The buyers' .strike hasn't extend J to the dry Roods busine.-i. People a"e still buying luxuries, though nt so recklessly as they did when money was mora plentiful. MIST SEI.I. MO 11 12 tiOOWS "Bit the merchant today must ar'A 50 per cent more goods, or 150 articles against 100 last year. In ord-r t break even. He Is not quite keeping up with this pace, however, but is realizing only about S5 per cent of the dollar volume of last year. He Is selling about 125 articles to 1'jO. "The public has bc n clamoring for a reduction in retail prices commensurate with the drop in wholesale prices, but a lot of mistaken Impressions arn abroad. If we buy an article for Jl and sell it for fl5". the 50 per cent gross profit doesn't ail go into our pockets. Out of this must come the buying and Ji'li.nj costs, the rent, heat and p-wer, insurance and employes compensation, taxes, delivery costs, administrative salaries, and other overhead expenses. So we are not such profiteers as people think. CLAIMS MILLIONS OF "Th,o retail dry goods trad'- has stood a loss of millions of dollars during the non-profit period. The merchants for one thing, were overstocked They had been assured by the traveling sale.-'.nen that prices would remain high and that If they didn't buy thty wouid have difficulty in obtaining goods later. They believed the salesmen and stocked up--"Now. the manufacturer, whin the bottom dropped out of the market, could close down his plant, tiirow his employes out of work and ceas- pioducing. The retailer had to ketp his, establishment going, even at a less. The only way in which he could economize was to replace employes who left voluntarily with cheaper heip Ha couldn't discharge anybody without breaking down the morale of the

organization. He suopiy had to do more business or quit." STANDARDIZED STATK1IEMS The principal concern of the congress will bo the adoption of. the report by the standardization committee, by means of which standardized monthly statements from practically every large dry goods and department store in the country showing ts'.e. trend of business, prices, arid market conditions, will bo mad. The association Is plann'ng to co-operate with the government in s;e;tin-; back to normalcy, and will probably forward these monthly reports to thdepartment of commerce.

It doesn't requite any particular information just to go out and buy something. But to buy the best of that something at a price that is satisfactory to you that is a successful purchase. And to make successful purchases you must have information. Advertising gives you just that kind of information. It tells you where to go in order to get the best of anything you want at a fair price. That is why it is a paying proposition for the man or woman who handles a pocketbook to study the advertisements in this newspaper regularly every day. To those who use it properly, newspaper advertising is a source of economy and satisfaction that never runs dry. It is a watch-dog of dollars a guarantee of satisfaction.
