VITAL ISSUES TAKEN UP BY STATE RETAILERS (Continued from page one) W. Van Fleet of La Grande, were re-elected for the coming year. Salem Grocer Talks At the grocers trade division, the first subject brought up for an in formal talk pertained to the credit and delivery business. Edward Schunke, Salem, declared that 50 per cent of the merchants who are en gaged in business on such a basis were brought into it because of the circumstances of their environment. These conditions are undergoing rapid changes in the business world, he said. W. C. Gunther, Portland, asserted that the credit business was a great help to the children in preventing them from stealing from their parents. But on the other hand there are still those who let people get away with goods from the stores and thereby contribute to the delinquency of society. TV. TV. Hill, Portland, brought up the question of how some remedy could be devised whereby customers could not beat the merchant out of their accounts. Another topic dealt with the possi bilities of a grocer conducting a ■ IIIIWIIIimilllMIIIHIIMmilKWIIlWHUaiilHWII'llWMIWUmBB'l'UII Y e Campa Shoppe Announces a Sunday Evening Concert 7:00 o’Clock , February 24, 1924 ' Mr. Frank Jue Assisted by JIB.

It was the opinion that it was beyond a man to engage in two dt'iferent. aspect of the same business. Frank B. Connolly, San Francisco, 1 past president of the National Asso ciation of Retail Grocers, declared that the trend of business and inno vations is ever westward. The present executive committee of the grocers trade division of the Re tail Merchants’ association was re elected for the ensuing year. The officers are: IV. C. Gunther, Port land. Chairman; C. H. Dickey, Ore gon City, and Edward Schunke, of Salem. The assembly voted that the executive board should choose the delegates to represent, the Oregon grocers at the coming national con vention in Los Angeles. Tt was recommended at the dry goods and department store division that the school of business adminis tration should send a simple quest iouaire together with the more com plicated one in order that each mer chant of the state would understand the proposition and send in returns for gathering statistics. Tt was also suggested that if no response was received within a few days, that a reminder should he sent at the end of ten days. W. L. Osborne, of McMinnville, urged that merchants he more careful, with their basements, flues and rub bish places, to avoid fires because of the responsibilitv they owe their neighbors. Mr. Osborne in a talk on insurance favored the mutual policy, | and to some measure expressed a dis- 1 like for the forgery practices. Mr. Osborne’s talk led up to a general discussion on insurance in which it was decided that, at least 75 to 90 per cent should be the rate on inventory for the amount of in surance carried by a firm. Profit insurance and co-insurance both re ceived favorable comment from the merchants. That all dry goods stores should be departmentized in order to deter mine which departments are paying and which are not, was the general opinion expressed. Tt was suggested that however small a store was, if it was large enough to support one full time office girl or bookkeeper that, it was large enough and it would pay to departmentize it. The question of giving bonuses to employees of a firm received much comment both for and against,. No definite rule was decided on. ,T. E. Mann, of Medford, took the load in bringing up subjects for next vear’s sessions. Among those con sidered were state income tax, ped dlers , and advance payment and freight rates on distant orders. The new executive committee elect ed is composed of ,T. E. Mann, of Medford, George Schaefers of Eugene, W. L. Osborne of MrMinnville, J. H. Garrett of Hillsboro, and B. E. Sisson of Salem.
