Special, j REGARDING SUIT AND COAT SALES There are two methods of merchan- dising used generally at the present time in the pricing of Seasonable Mer: chandise. One, the lot method in which the total value of a shipment from a retail standpoint is predeter- mined and garments are marked so that the sale of a proportion of them will realize the necessary profit on the entire shipment. The balance are then sacrificed and sold at any price as the dealers profit has been made on the garments sold, and a profit is no lon- ger necessary on the remaining num- bers. This of.course means profits of tremendous proportions on the first and best garments sold of the selec- tion. The other method is the marking of the merchandise on a basis that is necessary to secure a justified profit and based on the sale of practically the entire shipment. This is the method which we are using at the present time, and consequently cut sale of Suits and Coats are out of the question. It is impossible with us. Do not be deceived by these “Coat and Suit Sales’—they mean nothing at the present time. Garments advanced above proportions early in the season, can easily be reduced a 10 or 15 per cent and still leave a big profit for the sale producer. The store earning a fair and justified profit cannot make a_single cut without losing their net profits. —A. W. LUCAS CO.
