Because: Such advice is usually prompted by the fact that WE DO NOT. GIVE DISCOUNTS OR PAY COMMISSIONS. ; rf They are pernicious forms of bribe-giving customary in a great many stores, and as Such they are likely to sway the loyalty of any one who makes purchases for another, This growing evil may start with the grocer or marketman at the kitchen door and go along the line, areeing coachmen, chauffeurs, decorators, dressmakers and purchasing agents—all of whom collect their “bit”’ for the orders they can place, When the placing of an order depends upon such a “bit”—a come mission or a discount—we do not sell the goods. The one who bene- fits directly by the reward does not buy at Macy’s. The one who OWNS the goods fhus bought really pays the com- missions, since they are invariably made up in higher prices—the higher the prices the greater the commissions, As long as such methods of trade-getting continue so general in other stores MACY’S UNDERSELLING SUPREMACY CANNOT BE QUESTIONED.
