Filene, Bosion merchant and economist, in an adgdress to the retail- of Commerce. “Here is & method I have always found successful.” Filene said in the course of his talk, which was devoted o a discussion of ways the independent, merchant can meet the competition of | chain stores ‘1. Advertise largely—courageously the things that people want and will be helped by owning. | “2. Tell the exact truth in your ad- | vertisements, being sure to understate the good qualities of your products. | “3. Don't lie! If you must lie, do so without advertising your iniquity. ‘4. If you don’t sell great quantities by this method, then improve the value of what you are advertising until it is more surely the best value on the mark “5. 1f you don't sell greater quantities in this way vertise still more courageous! Reviewing the growth of chain-store retailing, which he said had doubled in volume in the past eight years, Filene sed independent merchants to or- greater and en ad- 7e or inin one of the several types | of buying or management associations which can meet the chain store at its strongest point.

NEW YORK, October 18 —The effect of high money rates and the with- drawal of capital from normal channels in order to place it in the remunerative call money market is strongly indicated in the downward trend in building activities throughout the country. N ‘This was first observed in August and | was carried into September in am even | more positive degree. In that month| the total value of building permits in the United States was 14 per cent below the month previous and 10 per cent under September, 1927. A national building survey that analyzes the situation closely stated that “unmistakably that portion of the construction industry devoted to the SPLASH! He hits erection of buildings in the cities and towns of the country has entered an era of more restricted activities.” These activities are now lower than they were | at this season in 1926 and in 1927, Until September, the general situation was favorably influenced by the volume of permits in New: York City, but last month permits here decreased along with many other leading cities through- out the country. They were not only smaller than in the same month of the two years previous but $23.000.000 under Augist. In Chicago and Detroit th were 30 per cent below last year whi the reduction in Philadelphia was near- 1y 50 per cent. increase of some size were Milwaukee, | Boston, Washington, Cineinnati, Newark Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Atlanta, In- dianapolis, Houston and Omaha. the the water gracefully . ... and swims with _ swift, sure strokes.
