of increase, $50 ; to the next, $30 ; and to the third, $20. Every de
partment manager has a list of bargains never before equalled by any
"Western house. The firm has adopted the novel plan of permitting
their department managers, otherwise known as buyers, to run the
f 11
entire establishment as they would if each department were owned
and controlled by themselves. In a large store like this every de
partment stands upon its own merits. .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 managers
must account to the general manager and the firm on matters per
taining to stocks, management, sales, decorations, advertising, etc.
For this sale all the superior officers step aside and give every depart
ment manager free rein. He can decorate, advertise and manage
as he sees fit. No one will dictate to him. We want to find out which
of our buying organization would evince the greatest enthusiasm
and ability to make. great strides if his (or her), department or de
partments were owned by him (or hpr). THE SHOPPING PUBLIC
