"It Is only necessary to compare
American wages with those In Eu

high wages are reflected In high

HOW i WE DO IT!
" Twenty-one men HoU bUylng for SttBffgs 404 Btrwml"5
markets. If each of these units were separately owned and -operated,
there would be 404 buyers, devoting an average,
say, of two hours a day to buying. At only $1.00 an hour v
for the merchant's time, the Skaggs method saves consum
ers in the districts they serve, on this one item alone, more ,
than $100,000.00 annually.
Then think of the saving in manufacturers' and whole-
salers' expense. Instead of calling on 404 widely scattered
stores, their salesmen call on 21 centrally located offices. '
Tho savings in traveling expenses, salaries, etc., totals an
other huge figure, which is passed on to us and through us
to you. Another reason for Skaggs better values.
