' Jno. W. ii Jeweler Announces A New Policy Modem Merchandising The cost of conducting a business, commonly kno-vrn as "overhead' has been the nemesis of business men for years. The expense, or overhead, is naturally a part of the actual cost of the merchandise to the merchant, and therefore is reflected in the resale price structure to the customer. If a means is found whereby this overhead can be greatly reduced by condensing stock, cutting rental expense to less than half, as well as the elimination of many other costly methods so prevalent in the American system of re tail business, it will naturally follow that merchants can establish a lower ' price structure for their patrons. The savings in operating expense should be passed to the customer. November first marked the first anniversary of this store in the new location at 216 East Main street. The past twelve months have boon spent in selecting from the best Jewelers' Markets the finest lines, and the choicest of merchandise at the lowest possible cash prices. T am now pleased to announce to the public that I have for inspection the finest and choicest of all NEW stock, in cluding Diamonds, Watches, Wedding Kings and individual and distinctive Jewelry T have ever shown since establishing my first store in Medford twenty-two years ago. Tt is with considerable pleasure that I now invite the public to inspect this exceptionally fine all new stock and I am sure an intelligent comparison of quality and prices will leave no doubt in the shopper's mind as to the application of Modern Methods in Merchandising the text of this announcement.
