The Wingham Advance-Times, 1960-08-17, Page 4Wean(' Aug. rt, 1960 By Ambrose. Hills TENDING STORE It happens that I have quite a few friends who are in the general store business in small towns, so some of the illusions I had about storekeepers have been dispelled. When I was a boy, I envied Mr. Cochrane who owned the big gen- eral store in Manama.. I thought his life was perfect. Any time he wished, he could Ahave a chocolate bar; or he could -slice delicious slivers from the, huge round cheese always on the counter. All day long people -came in and gave him money for groceries; or else brought eggs and batter from the farms, trading them for mainifaetured or process- ed goods from his shelves, His store was a wonderful place. He used to pay me $4 per week to deliver groceries after school and to help out behind the counter. I would -have worked for free -- the place always smelled so nice, and he had given me the freedom of the candy case (he almost wished he hadn't because I came 'close to !disproving his theory that 'boys I soon tire of chocolates if they -can have all they want), and I -got to Meet all the people who came In to- shop. and .chat. And I was taken into the secret about those markings on the goods. If you knew the signs, you could tell what markup 'had been added to what the groceries cost in the first place, In some cases, it was quite high, and I was sure that Mr. Cochrane was coining millions of dollars! Alas and alaeltaday, starekeep. ing, when you get to know the de- tails, isn't an easy road to riches. Markup is a long way from being profit, and ,those groceries don't get on the shelves by themselveS. Profits range from two cents to four cents on the dollar of .sales- and a few unpaid accounts or un- happy purchases can turn those slim profits -into fat losses. And when my friends have a bad month, no one comes to help them with deficiency payments, disaster funds, or anything else. They are on their own. The only time any-one from the government shows an in- terest in 'them is at income tax time, or to make sure they are pay- ing proper wages and giving hon- est weight! So, my illusions are dispelled - and yet, I think I'd like to be a storekeeper. Dreams die hard!
