ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 13, 1925 ii s ii m n msMMMmn i ik. m mp a f. x r r.m mmm J 13 II V V saving' The Origin and Operation of Skaggs Stores Business policies are the charts by means of which euc- O'juful undertakings are steer ed through Hie seas of com merce mad-amps, pointing the way to the desired dinllna Hon. If tliey art rU'ht they lead to succeua throiiKU service. If they an- wrons will, the coasts of commerce an strewn with the wrecks of buslnensea that tried to operate under mistaken or deliberately decep. tive policies. We who come in to daily contact with estab lished pollcien of large lrttfiitu tions are prime to take them as matters of course, and eith er approve or disapprove of them according to our various lights. Randy does it occur to lis to consider the manner of their making or the amount or time and thought sometimes days and weeks of concentrat ed study that has liil to their formulation and promulgation. The first Skaggs store dif fered from other stores chiefly in the Important particular 'of Its almost unbelievably a low operating costs. Despite ' the fact that it was founded with the avowed determination of eliminating waste from the dis tribution coits of foodstuffs, it was difficult to realize at first how much had really been ac complished and the extent to which the methods employed weni destined to influence re- Cash tall practice. Neither could It reasonably be expected that the founder could fortee and lay down policies to govern the thousand of conUuKtrnclea and problems that arose as the business grew and spread. These had to be met and solv ed as they present! them selves and out of their solution and the soundness of the Judgment with which the solu tion wan applied has grown this vast orKanisatlou a ad the policies and personnel that have made lis outstanding suc cess possible. Kor instance, It was discol ored that the aavinp in oper ating1 routs as compared to the operating costs or the average reinil grocery in themselves constituted a liberal profit. The Federal Government. In its Investigations of profiteer ing, had determined that from 16 to IS per cent was a fair operating cost for the average grocery to which' must be added a fair net profit. Operat ing costs in the Skaggs store were less thnn half the amount allowed by the government a condition due entirely to the spirit In which it was founded and the operating economies effect I'd and one which per mitted the new store to do bus Inecs and make a liberal profit on a margin less than the act ual coats of tho average store. This fact, plus the disposition to share the savings affected with the consumer, enabled the first Skaggs storo. to do a constantly , Increasing '' volume of business and eventually ac cumulate a surplus sufficient to warrant the opening pf a second store. The second Sftag store was opened tn October, 1916, and subsequent like ventures followed In due course and or der, but it la worthy of note that in the working out of a p'aa of oneratlno for .the eec ond atorv, good business prac Uces and the principlo of the UoMen Hule were observed. This plan was based upon a profit-sharing ideal of equity to the customer, the manager and the originator. Its fruition ia evidenced bv a prnoltcal, tang I b le.
