The Origin and
Operation of
Skaggs Stores
The elephant la a mammoth
beaut, equally capable of
much Rood or much harm ac
cording to the manner of bis
handling. In him la latent al
most unlimited power for serv
ice or for destruction and the
channels Into which hla great
strength shall be guided are
matters for the determination
of the man or men Into whose
keeping he Is given. Likewise,
the great Mallet type of loco
motive roaring down the
track with Its string of cars
flashing after it like the tall to
a comet hi a potent factor for
destruction unless the man at
the throttle Is cool-beaded,
steady nerved and of unswerv
ing righteousness of purpose.
But, unless the engineer shall
have auddenly gone mad, he
will be true to his trust and
guide his train and his passen
gers through to safety If for no
other reason than because he
. realises that to do otherwise
means bis own destruction as
welt as the destruction of the
mighty power which be con
trols. It Is true that great organiza
tions, such as Skaggs stores,
represent a mighty power and
much has been said by those J
who lacked Information, or
who had given the matter but
Blight thought or who were in
spired by a misconception of
their own self-interest about
the potontlal menace which
this power constituted. To
realise the fallacy of this argu
ment It Is only necessary to
reflect for a moment upon the
lelf -evident fact that the man
Mr men capable of building
these great organisations must
be possessed of at leant a nor
mal amount of common sense.
And, being possessed of ordi
nary common sense they have
only to look back over history
to realize that the slightest
abuse of the power which they
control will Inevitably result
In the ultimate destruction of
that power - and themselves
with it
Thuj. It is again seen that
the element of self Interest
aside from any higher motives,
automatically acts as a safety
valve and a very effective
check upon the actions of
those to whom the public has
sees fit to entrust the guid
ance of the policies of great
institutions. Furthermore, It is
an incontrovertible law of eco
nomics that only those enter
prises which render the great
eat service can hope to sur
vive and the old must give way
to the new in exact proportion
to the greater aervlce which
the new can render. Therefore,
to continue to exist the new
must constantly strive to ex-
eel, else It, too, will fall by
the wayside. For In the last
analysis the public Is a merci
less judge and wlu be served.
In the mass effort, repre
sented by such organizations
as Skaggs stores, g-Hded bv
sound and constructive poli
cies, lies the greatest oppor
tunity for genuine service and
I n d i v ldual accomplishment
Motivated by the right Im
pulses and destined tor a de
finite goal the goal of the
maximum In service and effi
ciency there is apparently no
limit to the splendid results
which is within their power to
produce. And these results
need not all be material al
though we have found that the
public is generous, even liber
al. In rewarding Its real serv
ants they can be and are
deeply gratifying to the soul as
well.
In the earlier articles of this
series we have seen how
Bkaggs stores originated from
the efforts of one man to find
the solution for what, to him,
constituted a problem In larger
community service. We have
seen them grow from a tiny,
one-man undertaking to an en
terprise of vast proportions
with more than 300 stores and
1600 wide,, awake, loyal, earn
est and enthusiastic, young
men and women engaged In
their operation. We have seen
Inaugurated a profit-sharing
plan that is unique In Its scope
and equity to all concerned.
Including the ultimate consum-'
er. It haa been made clear how
It Is possible . Bometlmes to
make a liberal profit out of
what others waste and still
render the public a genuine
"service of savings.'
If this series of articles shall
have revealed and made under
standable to the reader the
marvelous spirit, the courag
eous heart and the sincere
purpose of every member of
this great body of men and
women . who are striving
cheerfully and contentedly
toward the ultimate goal of
"Distribution without waste"
If they shall have made you
regard ua as simply "one of
the community in spirit and
endeavor" to know that
Skaggs stores, like most other
stores, are owned exclusively
by the men who actually oper
ate them and that theae men
are your friends and neigh
bors then all of the effort of
their preparation and publica
tion will be more than justified.
We began this series of ar
ticles with a statement con
cerning Reverend B. M.
Skaggs, the founder of Skaggs
stores. We want to close it In
the same way by saying that
the altruism and high pur
pose of the man found its only
material reward in the way he
would have it the achieve
ment of hla life's ambition
to be able to preach the Gos
pel without charge wherever
the need and to the limit of
hla capacity" and the funds to ' i
make this possible regularly
find their way to him from the
profits of the Institution he
founded.

FLIRT WITH HUBBY
t AND QUIT SMOKING
IS DIVA'S ADVICE
NEW YORK. Dec. !3. Frieda
Hempel, concert and opera singer,
returned on the White Star liner
Majestic yesterday with the an
nouncement that, after a five years
vacation, she expecta to appear in
opera next year In Germauy and
with the statement that she would
like to start "a big drive against
women's smoking."
Miss Hempel, before launching
her attack on women smokers, emp
tied her purse of cigarettes, say
ing she was going Into training
again for her annual coticert tour
of the country shortly. Smoking,
she said, was bad for singers'
throats and bad for women's
health.
Miss Hempel way. met by her
husbsnd, William Kalin, New York
banker. She denied the report of
a separation.
"My husband and I are terribly
happy together," she said, "and
the secret is that we both have our
careers. F.very woman who wants
a aueceanfiil married life should
have a career. There Is only one
danger losing your feminine
charm. My advice Is to keep on
flirting with your huxband. always
be at your best with him and meet
bim half way In everything."
en for his ousting was "simply
csmoflage."
"You have not Interferred in the
enforcement of law against those
In whom you are not Interested."
general Butler wrote, "but you
balked and directed your city aol
Irltor not to proceed with the pad
lock proceedings against the Rltz
Carltnn Hotel, against which es
tablishment there waa vicious evt
rence when you refused to revoke
the dance license of the big hotels
such as the Itltz-Carlton, tbe Wal
ton and the liellevue-Rtratford,
controlled by your friends, all of
which waa recommended by me
and when on December 21, I again
ereHsed you to act and Indicated
that I would find other means of
doing so if vou did not act. you on
December 22 dismissed me from of
fice. "YcJ called me disloyal because
I presumed you to be a man and
carry out your oath of office. In
order that the people of Philadel
phia may know the failure to take
action on my part Is due to your
lack of moral courage and la order
that they may know your reason
Is simply a camouflage, I am sub
mitting to them the correspondence."
General Butler also made public
correspondence he had been having
with 'Mr. Kendrlck regarding pad
lock proceedings against the Itltz
Carlton and revocation of certain
dance licenses.
Woman Aide Given Ring.
After General Butler left the city
hall amid the cheers of a thousand
persons, Mayor Kendrlck appealed
to citizens to help him enforce the
law. The mayor said his friends
would obey the laws and that oth
ers must.
AssUtanl Director George W. El
liott, who had strongly supported
General Duller In his campaign
here, succeeds the general.
Before his dismissal General
flutler called on Mrs. Violent E.
Fahenstock. the city's only woman
police magistrate and consistent
supporter of his work. As a token
from himself and unit number one,
a picked group of policemen active
In liauor raid, he presented to her
a . diamond ring and a bouquet of
roses.
"When you look at this ring,"
be told Mrs. Fahnestock. "I want
you to think of 12S men, who. with
ropes around their necks, are work
ing for the cause of law and order
In this city and are loyal to us In
our work.
"The mayor has not bluffed me.
He can fire me but he cannot bluff
mo.
"This unit will go down In his
tory as the greatest body of police
men that has enforced the law. it
Is Betting an example to police all
over the country."
