If they are right they lead to success through service. If they are wrong— well, the coasts of commerce are strewn with the wrecks of businesses that trieil to operate under mistaken or deliberately deceptive policies. We who come into daily contact with es tablished policies of large institu tions arc prone to take them aa matters of course, ami cither ap prove or disapprove of them accord ing t<> our various lights. Rarely does it occur to us to consider the « manner of their making or the _ -aome- amount of time and.,thought time» day» and week» uf concen- trated -ludy—that has led to their formation and promulgation. The first Skaggs store differed from other Stores chiefly in the im- portant particular of its almost un believably low operating costa. De «pile the fact that it was founded with the avowed determination of eliminating wants from the distri- bution costs of foodstuff», it was difficult to realise at first how much had really been accomplished and the extont to which the methods employed were destined to influence retail practice». Neither could it rea-tonubly be expected that the * founder could foresee and lay down mles and policies to govern the thousands of contingencies und prob lems that arose as the business grew ami spread These had to be met and solved as they presented themselves und out of their solution and the soundness of the judgment with which the solution waa applied has grown this vast organization and the policies and personnel thnt have jnade its outstanding sucre»» pos sible. For instance, it was discovered that the savings in operating costs— u compared to the operating costs of the average retail grocery—in them elves constituted a liberal prof it. The Federal Government, in its investigation» of profiteering, had determined that from 16 to 18 per vent was n fair operating cost for the average grocery—-to which must L* added a fair net profit. Operat ing coats ill the Skaggs store was less than half the amount allowed by th<‘ Government—a condition due entirely to the spirit in which it was founded and the operating econo mies effected anil one which per mitted the new store to do business and make n liberal profit on a margin leas than the actual costs of the average store. This fact, plus the disposition to share the savings nf footed with the consumer, enabled the first Skaggs store to <1 Io a cun- _ volume of buHi- stantly increasing no«s and « i'Veulually accumulate a surplus sufficient to warrant the opening of a second store. The second Skaggs »tore was opened in October, 1916, and sub- sequent like venlurcs followed in due course and ___ order, but it is worthy to note thut in the working out of a plan of operation for the second store, good business prac tices mid the principle of the Golden Rule were observed. This plan was based upon a profit- sharing ideal of equity to. the cus tomer, the manager und the origina tor. Its fruition Is evidenced by a practical, tangible, FUNCTIONING reality and its -application has serv ed to weave a closely knit organise lion —alike in ambition, desires and practices. It has given a present and future Io clear headed young men, who in their umhition to achieve are thrive willing to serve. It. bus put respon sibility in the bunds of those most affected und hus never overridden their rights nor ignored their ideals, privileges and suggestions. It has at tracted loyal hearted men—men not susceptible to petty bribery nor shortsighted promises. It has given us more than three hundred busy stores nnd upward of fifteen hun dred energetic young people with trained minds, open hearts and eager hands, thousands upon thousands of partons, and it has elevated tho standards of food distribution throughout the entire West.
