Iis report is likely to throw a shock into almost any American. The retail business in Russia is carried on mainly through co-operative stores, of which there are 45,000 scattered throughout the country. They do not advertising. Their goods are sold at a very slight percentage above cost. The clerks in charge don't try to sell anything, but merely deal' out the merchandise, which arrives in the morning and is usually sold out at night. There is a shortage of textiles especially for drygoods and various other kinds of goods there is always a waiting line. A woman has to stand for hours to buy cotton cloth for a dress, and then finds that she can get only a yard or two and may have to come Kick several times to obtain enough for a complete dress. Those "co-ops" always seem to be taking inventory. The process sometimes lasts for weeks, and during that time no goods whatever are sold. The inventory has to be checked and approved by government officials before the store can be opened again. So there is more plain dumbness than redness nlxiut merchandising in Russia. Bolshevism shows itself ineffi cient alike in production and distribution. The menace, such as it is, is not much of a menace except to Russia herself. She is the victim of her own inefficiency, and that is some thing other nations are not likely to copy. LOST- A lost call may mean Life -Time Money. You should afford a telephone.
