President of One of the Most Successful Department Stores of its Kind in America: The Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney Dry Goods Company, of St Louis. "During the first summer after I took charge of our store, I was surprised at the enormous falling off in sales during the vacation period, from mid-June to the first of September. 1 called a conference of department managers. They assured me that there was no help for the condition that the bulk of "our trade" went away for the summer and that sales naturally dropped to the low level of the year. The situation was one which called for careful study and searching aiK'1 sis. From the railroad passenger agent and other sources, we secured statistics showing t' -out 55,000 people went to the country and bought their summer necessities and luxuries fi ome one. That our sales should slump forty per cent because seven per cent of the population left the city for a part of the summer could be accounted for in one way. OUR MERCHANDISING PLAN OR PROGRAM AUST BE OUT OF BALANCE. "Two conclusions stood out from this analysis. It was obvious, first, that the only way to correct our summer slump in sales was to make the store appeal to the GREAT MIDDLE class which did not take extended vacations. Dwarfing this in importance, however, was the unmistakable fact that we were not reaching the mass of dependable all-the-year-'round buyers of medium-priced merchandise. By failing to serve the whole community we were neglecting the largest element in our natural marked and limiting our sales in a corresponding degree." THE NEWS-TIMES, quoting from the above statement by Mr. Wilkenson, which appeared in a recent issue of System Magazine, asked the passenger representatives of the FOUR LEADING ROADS out of South Bend to estimate the RESORT AND VACATION TRAFFIC during the summer months.

Passenger Agents of Four Leading:

Roads Out of South Bend Say:

Less than 3,500 people leave South Bend during the Summer months LESS THAN FIVE PER CENT of the total population and that many of these go to nearby resorts.

"DULL SEASON-ITIS" sounds funny but it isn't. It's a dreadful disease. Mental affection accompanied by hallucinations and vague forebodings of disaster. Oddly enough, it attacks merchants first. The general public the people who buy things are almost immune. They go on earning money and trying to spend it until the merchant virtually refuses to accept it. The public does not become afflicted with "Dull Season-itis" except when it is communicated to them by merchants. The disease is possible in any seasoa of the year, but manifests itself most frequently in summer. It consists of varying stages and in its worst form in a frantic determination not to sell any goods at all. The victim imagines himself to be sane and far-sighted. It is not a new disease. It is quite old.

It dates back to the dark ages, when witchcraft and black art were rife, and since that time it has been steadily losing ground. It is more prevalent in the less enlightened countries than in communities where reason and intelligence are supposed to reign. This year there are fewer victims than last vear. And next season there ought not to be an v.
