A WCM J I II 311 a&4!krf&o ehTZttO J&&Qr Great Dept. Managers Commencing tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock and continuing through the month the MEIER & FRANK COnPANY have adopted the novel idea of permitting their De partment managers, otherwise known as buyers, to run the entire establishment as they would if each department were owned and controlled by themselves. ' In a large store like this every department stands upon its own merit. Each is like a separate store, in as far as the business is concerned, with an efficient manager at its head. In the run of regular business the department manager must account to the general manager on matters pertaining to stocks, sales, management, advertising, etc. For this sale. all superior officers step aside and give every department manager free rein. He can advertise, decorate and manage as he sees fit. No one will dictate to him. We want to see which one of our buying organization would evince the greatest enthusiasm and ability to make great strides if his department or departments were controlled by him. THE BUYERS' FIRST ACTION WAS TO VOTE TO GIVE ALL THEIR SALESPEOPLE ONE PER CENT OF ALL THEIR SALES DURING THE DEPARTMENT MANAGERS' SALE SECOND MOVE To offer the greatest array of bargains ever placed on retail counters the length and breadth of the land. And when you consider that they have been preparing many months for this sale you can expeet a bargain feast that will delight every person economically inclined.
