The records of the morgue of busi-

to the Domestic Commerce Division

j Failures have been attributed to

to. poor location. and are often fal-
gsely laid at the door of economic

the Division asserts, pointing'to the
fact that the retail store is conspic-
uous in the fiEld of business enter-
prise for the number of casualties.
“Only in thf‘ past three or four
years has The merchant realized that
his business. as well as that o? the
maniiz’aclurs‘r. is a science. and that
he. too. can well afford to utilize
many of the‘new methods which are

the Division says in advocating bud—
