"Contrary to the general belief, merchants are not making excessive protits," said Harry S. Carroll, advertising and merchandising specialist, who spoke to the advertising and publicity classes yesterday. Carroll was pointing out that the present tendency of many merchants is to adopt methods which are economically unsound.
Price cutting in an attempt to secure volume of trade succeeds for a time, the speaker pointed out, but eventually it leads to a decline in the quality of the merchandise. In the long run the independent

S.C. INTERNATIONAL NIGHT PRESENTED

Annual International night program was held in the Student Union social hall Wednesday evening at which there was an at-
dealer who builds up public confi- tendance of over 175 among whom deuce, maintains fair prices, and is j many were foreign students dress-
fair in his dealings he said.
Chain stores are not able to offer the customer any more than the independent dealer can, Carroll said, because a large tirm has many expenses which offset the advantage of volume buying. Lack of the personal touch and civic pride work to their disadvantage also.
Carroll was head of the advertising and merchandising department of the Broadway Department store for more than twenty years. Two years ago he established the merchandising agency which bears his name. He is past president of both the Los Angeles Advertising club and the Pacific Coast Advertising club.

In introducing Professor Niese to the club, President Smith referred to him as "an internationalist iu the true sense of the word, because of Ills mastery of the Knglish. Spanish, French and German languages. because of his leadership in the foreign colony of I job Angeles, and because of his many activities iu diplomatic channels for the furtherance of International goodwill and understanding.”
Reference was also made to a European tour which professor Niese is conducting this summer. The tour promises to be a valuable opportunity to gain an insight into true European conditions as they exist today.
