OF CM ST03ES
New York.—Two thousand re
tail stores throughout the Unit
ed States will be handed to
gether bv the end of 1!)'»9 in a
concerted movement to com
bat the increasingly destructive
competition of the chain stores.
Already, 1032 independent stores
in tG states have become members
in a new nation-wide organization
which has been set up to bring to
the independents the benefits of
volume purchases of merchandise
and of cheap distribution, accord
ing to an announcement by Piene
Meyer, president of the organization
published in Sales Management
magazines
The organization, to be known as
the Consolidated Merchants' Syndi
cate, will establish three great ware
houses at key-points across the
country. The products they will
handle will range from five-cent to
one-dollar articles of general mer
chandise.
“The fixed charge of operating the
warehouses will be about the same
as the expense1'found necessary by
the larger chain store organization*,
to maintain their wholesale depart
ments—which is approximately half
that charged by general distribu
tors and jobbers,” says Mr. Meyer.
"We are so confident of the
soundness of the plan that we ex
pect to have in it by the end of
1929 more than 2.000 stores. It will
be a group comparable in number
of units and buying power with
some ol the larger of the chains.
The pricer will be just as low as
the chain's prices and tlie stand
ard of service rendered equally
high.’’
The warehousing system will be
in March, in New York, according
to plans. The second will be es
tablished in Chicago in the near
future and the third in a city to be
selected west ol the Mississippi river
in 1930.
The wat ehousing system will be
supported by a fixed fee charged
against each store and. instead of
putting a heavy capital outlay into
stock on hand or relying on scat
tered jobbers to supply his wants,
visited Rex . and Mrs, J. D. Morns
Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Haynes and
family moved to Casar Thursday.
Misses Vclva Hamrick and
Bryte Costner of Beams Mill, spent
last Thursday night here with
Misses Velma and Eva Wright.
ihr retailer who is a member of the
eixiperative plan will be able to ob
tain’4iis "supplies at advantageous
terms from the central warehouse, j
points out the sales management
article.
With the new warehouse system j
in operation, independent met - j
i chants and those operating a small
group of stores will be able for the
first time to compete on even terms |
with the chains," says Mr. Meyer. |
i To the merchants operating stores'
! m smaller cities—especially those
| whose profits and even existence
hare been endangered by the chains
I —we believe this new method ol
distribution will prove particularly
helpful."
