In my last Mlllerettes I promised to tell you more about the "Innldo" of the department store business m It Is revealed to me by the "higher-ups." There seems to exist nowadays a big quarrel between "Cash" and "Credit". You've beard tbe CASH side of It for so Ion that you've wondered why CHED1T did not cry out something In self-defense. Well, here It Is the credit side of the argument. Credit as you know seldom Rets credit for the wonderful things It has per formed, the most Important of which Is It's power In reducing overhead costs. Exactly opposite of what cash has always claimed. Every merchant strives to create a large volume of sales for It auto matically reduces the selling ex pense, creates a larger buying power which In turn eventually reaches the ultimate consumer In way of lower retail prices. Credit as It Is handled at Miller's represented a large volume of buslneKS last year at a total loss of only one half of one percent. A negligible quantity I Yet cash stores u this argument above all else as an excuse for barking at "low prlros." Two fifths of the World's buolnes Is done on CREDIT. Why?
