* Heart to Heart Talks About Advertising.

A large men’s furnishing store in Chicago advertised a
special sale of four-in-hand ties—regular fifty cent quality at
three for a dollar, as its big leader for Saturday.
Before noon the neckwear department looked like it had
been struck by a storm. The aisles were jammed with peo
ple and the manager of the department was gleefully estima
ting the volume of the day’s business when the proprietor
appeared.
The proprietor was a young man—of the same metal that
Marshall Fields and John Wanamakers are made of. He
noted that the people were buying ties BUT NOTHING
ELSE. "Why is this?" he demanded. "Why aren’t these
people sent to other departments where we have just as
many good values?”
The manager replied that this was a conservative store
and he thought it would be undignified to have his sales
people go out of their own department or even suggest that
his customers visit other departments.
’There’s nothing undignified about it,” retorted the
owner. "Most of these people are receiving in change two
to ten times the amount of their purchases. Most of them
are bargain hunters or they would not be here today. All of
them will soon need other things we sell.
"I fail to see whv it would be undignified or a violation
of good merchandising to have your salespeople suggest a
visit to other departments. What about our new stock of
gloves for Fall? Aren’t our new line of hats and our large
assortment of Fall overcoats worth talking about?
"Here within twenty feet of you is the best lot of shirts
we have ever shown—a line at a dollar that cannot be dupli
cated in this city, and your salespeople haven’t said a word
about them.
"All these goods are hereto sell, Mr. Blank. We are
not advertising the whole store for the exclusive benefit of
your department. Don’t ignore the power of suggestion but
train your people to give hints that will send customers to
other departments.
"During a rush like this suggestions can he made quiet
ly, quickly and discreetly. When business is normal more
care and better judgment will prevail. Get acquainted with
your customers and you will make them customers for the
whole store.”
This splendid plan to increase the efficiency of store ad
vertising was put into practical use in all the departments
and the customers liked it.
And it changed the employes of that store from mere
slot machines into real salesmen.
