Association last champion the chain store cause, did not reply to charges made in an ad- dress by J. Frapx Grimes, head of the Independent Grocers’ Alliance, that if the ekain store reaches out and takes the profit from local communities, the lifeblood also will be taken. Instead, he recounted a history of chain store development and pointed to economic advantages effected by the chain system, the independent merchant has ever known,” Lum said, “because it has forced him to realize what he must do to be efficient and it has given him an example of efficiency.” Legislation will never solve the prob- lem of the independent merchant, the speaker said. He asserted that of $40,000,000,000 spent yearly in the retail industry, one fifth, or approximately $8,000,000,000 is wasted on unnecessary effort. “That is essentially the reason for the chain store.” He added and advised the lndPEndent merchant to emulate the chal economy. He advised the independents to group themselves together for group buying, employ specialists to aid in ad- vertising and display of merchandise, and to brighten ir establishments, Swansea, Wales, will spend $2,500,000 in public improverhents to provide work for idle miners, 1929 “Tiny Tots” - Solid Gold Q Baby Rings will be decided by the public on | convention of the| K Lum, selected by the convention to |} “The chain store is the best friend [P | Flour ..M 11¢ owner in ways of | b ' D.
