Article by Vandeneynde
Gene Vandeneynde, manager of R. L. Elfstrom company, is
author of a two-page article in the September edition of Oregon
Business Review on the subject "Small Retail Stores Helped by
Buying Offices."
Buying offices are a type of pool-buying. Says Vandeneynde:
"Buying offices properly set
up can perform the same services
to a group of smaller retailers
as the central buying office
gives to the large chain store,
and, at the tame time, render
service to the manufacturers
with whom they deal.
"Good buying offices can as
sist manufacturers in the im
provement of their lines, with
suggestions on finishes, better
construction, and features which
will tend to make the merchan
dise a better value at little or
no extra cost in manufacture and
a much better value than the
average dealer can buy individ
ually. "Buying offices are constant
ly in touch with manufacturers
of all types they are in a posi
tion to keep stores advised con
cerning new merchandise and
on the future plans of manufac
turers. They are able to de
termine if the manufacturer has
the necessary equipment for the
production of the merchandise
he offers, what his past record
of experience is, whether his fi
nancial condition is such that
he is in a position to buy raw
materials in the right quantities.
Buying offices are kept constant
ly informed on new ideas and
new sources of supply; they are
always in touch with factories
and understand production prob
lems. This latter is Important
because many factories fail to
deliver because of shortages of
iraw materials, installation of
new machinery, or failure of
subcontractors to fulfill their
agreements. Buying offices can
aid stores by making available
definite delivery Information
upon which they can depend.
They can advise in the selection
of specification items that many
individual stores cannot obtain.
Some manufacturers will take
orders far in excess of their
ability to produce, some attempt
to go into types of merchandise
in which they had no previous
experience: information on such
matters is readily available from
the buying office to the mem
bers of the buying group."
The article further discusses
the four types of buying offices,
namely, the associated buying
office, the independent, the
store's own buying office, and
the commission agency.
Advantages under proper oper
ation and cooperation between
store and buying office are discussed.
