; ; ; INACCURACY . ?v ' ;
i One great retail house in Chicago has
7,000 employes. According to the
AMERICAN.
observations of Earl M. Pratt of Oak
Park, the natural inaccuracies of such
an army of employes in one business
day will; bring upon at least 500 em
ployes -a personal censure from
superiors , which; will arouse in these
500 clerks a disposition to vent their
anger or chagrin upon 5,000 customers
of the house. ;u:
The question is : Under' feuch a con
dition, what would : be tHe value of
absolute accuracy itf e'fery employe
in such an establishment ? '
"Inaccuracy .costs5 'Chicago $1,0)0.
000 a day," says liv' Pratt in his
sweeping arrUigiimeht of the city's
business worldV llii too; is an esti
mated loss battll uorr the visible ami
material showing; 'the; losses suggested
in the firfet ' jprdpositioh may bo so re
mote :ia,s to-'make'' aft "estimate, impos

Because of thiS proposition, Mr.
Pratt places the employe of the lowe.-t
grade, the department head, the gen
eral manager, the employer, "!'a:nd fin
ally the customer, all upon the sail
plane of interest in his efforts to estaV
lish a bureau, having for its purpo
the disseriiinatiori'bf accurate training
for those' who niayib'e' brought to m
the. need of it." ' !
As indicating tbe necessity of ac
curacy" in the" -least5 important plan
of the world of business, Mr. Prat:
