Managing Director on the Mat. J 0 ■ A (little while (ago a representative ,of the Income Tax Department ipaid a surprise visit tot this Store for the purpose of checking the hooks (and satisfying himself [that we were not “Against the (Government” getting their '“pound of flesh.” ' After -everything had been found in iapple-pie order he complimented the Managing Director on ithe way (the hooks were kept and the healthy state of the business, but, he added “Your firm should make (more profit (than you do and it looks to (me as if you are carrying at least ia Thousand Pounds \too much Stock for (the (business you are doing mtod that extra Thousand is not showing enough profit to buy 4 4 Salt ,for your Cabbage. ’ ’ mildly; he waited to ,blame everybody but himself for the heavy stock and small profits (of the last few years, so he proceeded (to give the Departmental Managers some of the “Physic” that he had swallowed himself; his tongue was coated and he just felt in the snood [to argue the point with anyone. He wanted to know the why (find the wherefor ;of this and that. ‘ ‘Why did we buy /such a stock of \Coir (Mattings?” We told him that (Mattings came from India, and the district where Mattings (were [made was a Swamp and under water, so that the delivery of future orders was indefinite. “Who told you that yarn,” he asked. “We [said, it was a traveller.” “Look here!” he exclaimed, “I have been a traveller too and you do not need to; believe everything they tell you!” CLARK’S BIG Summer Sale vin j 17th ; General Mr. [Clark admitted that jthe (Stock was too big, but explained that in a small [town like Levin, it was necessary to give customers plenty of choice otherwise /business went out of (the town. Ever /since I started business in Levin nearly 'thirty-five years ago, I have always aimed to give customers as good a selection if (not better than they would find in (towns (much larger .than Levin. Our last Stocktaking, continued Mr. Clark, shows ja heavier stock than usual, this is 'accounted for (by the decreased spending power of the community. Money has been .tight and every business man in town or city has been up against,it. Blankets! That one item alone ties up a lot ,of money. [Wool went up and' to protect ourselves we were obliged 'to cover our Requirements for two winters (ahead instead pf one. Some of the other Departments such [as Underwear [have more Stock than is necessary. Wool is (the factor [here again. We bought heavily to {protect our business, but we have .the satisfaction of knowing that we can compete with (the best of 'them, and we will not meed to buy [again until Wool shows a downward tendency. htc., at That !the /aforesaid conversation had made/ a deep impression on the “old man” meaning W.M., is stating it “Where have you had these?” he asked, referring to R counter piled up 'with Towels that were being marked for the Sale. “Why, you have enough Towels in the Department to cover every clothes line from Levin to Otaki.” We said that was the idea we had in mind and reminded him that the Government had recently taken the duty off Towels so that we would now be able .to sell (three for what used to be the price of two, /and that by (the time /the /Sale* was over there would [be more room on the coiurter. After /that, be faded into the Men’s Department, the [Manager of this Department is known to !his confederates as “W.G. ” He is a man of vision ms well [as a man of muscle and he naturally resented the pertinent remarks made /about bis taste in buying Fancy Sox and told him to vanish or force knight be necessary. .By the time the [Showroom was visited, “ W.M. ” ha-d< decided that p change of .-tactics was necessary; deep down in his heart he knew that he could toot find .fault tenth the management of (this Department so (he 'paid a (few words of encouragement to the Girls, land concluded by remarking that, as long as they were cordial to customer and all worked together the [result of the Sale would be great.
