chain stores, Mr. Babson’s advice is considered especially significant for independent merchants by Marc N. Goodnow, journalism field representative, S. C., who wrote the report.
“Perhaps the two most importani things that face the Independent retailer today,” says Mr. Ooodnow. “are competition from the chain stores and the necessity of getting his message consistently before a larger body of people. Not only are tbe chains growing in number of outlets, but a number of them are Increasing their advertising appropriations.
"Even in many instances where chain volumes have not equalled those of last year, tbe advertising appropriations have not been mu
ever, the independent merchant whose volume has decreased has neglected to maintain sufficient advertising space. Undoubtedly, this policy of the Independent has been responsible for a part cf tbe in crease ln chain volumes.
“The fact that the national chain stores recognize the value ot local newspaper advertising,’’ says Mr. Goodnow, "should mean much the Independent merchant. With merchandise that meets the quality test, together with all the ser vice features which he may offer, the Independent merchant ls by no means limited in his advertising or hlk merchandising by any form of compeition," concludes the director of tbe S. C. bureau of field work.
