he can hire or fire atwill. When it-
em* need retording it Is Mr. &dingle
who reorders them. Ana' he buys di-
rectly from the manufacturer and not

All Woolworth merchandise is di-
vided into 28' departments; for which
there are 24 buyer e (some of . the
smaller ,departnein,ts being limped
together): The 'Infiret • spends his
working hours in the Woolworth
Building—and busy hours they are.
To him/ come a dozen, two doien,
three dozen manufacturers a day. Of-
ten selling Woolworth is ,their life
objective, for Woolworth 'May take
50 per cent. -or even 100 per cent. of
their output. They pour out of the
elevators on the 24th floor, wait, rest-
less and nervous, in, the reception hall
and...,. proceed—eventuell y—into the
preseriee of the Bever.
And they meet a man who is much.
more than a purchasing agent. True,
there is plenty • of price dickering,
Broadly speaking,, Woolworth gets
for six, and one-half cents whet. it
sells for ten, cents,• and around that
half -cent wages many a ;battle. 'Bet
price is not.the only topic. Here is
a good five -cent article—but how
about nwldpg the package datd' from
1933 instead of 1892? • Here is a
round gadget which would be better
as a square gadget. Or here is. some-
thing which, desirable ineveryway,
,simply cannot be inade to sell for ten
cents regardless of - Woolworth vole
time. Then how about making it in
s cheaper material Or 'omitting
something or in some manner cut-
ting the pattern to fit the- cloth?
Suggestions vary from improving the
methosl of displaying safety pins tb
establishing a complete • new line of
Woolworth costmeties (Ehabassy line)
sold in jars and bottles of a smart-
ness' hitherto unheard of in a five,
ten and twenty cent world. Wool-
worth is not a manufacturer but
neither is it a chatch-all for what the
manufacturee brings - it. First Wool-
worth buying lesson: never let well
enotigh 'alone.
Notice that the, mainifecturers, do
not sell to the Woelworth stores; they
sell to the Woolworth buyers. Then
what becomes of the .1900 independ-
ent Mr. 'gwingles ? How can the
'buyers buy for Woolworth while the
Swinges 'buy' for the stores?
The answer is the Approved List
of Woolfrorth [Manufaeturers. It is
a catalogue. It is the net result of
thousands of ideas, interchanged be-
tween hundreds of manufacturers and
the 24 Woolworth buyers The r -ult
too, of infinite trial -and -error, 'of
meths, even of years of labor. From
this catalogue, the 1900 Mr. Swine
glee choose.
The. buyer is permitted to help out
a new item by assigning a trial order
to a few stores. Otherwise he is
roliibiteti by Woolworth hrfr
fencing even, his favorite idea on any
Woolworth store manager. The func-
tion of the buyer, therefore, is to in-
treduce into the Woolwerth system a
germ, thousands of germs. This done,
each germ must 'epread on its own
merits. If a new item] goes well .M.

in by one week ---Woolworth will
spread the news. But the life of the
germ depends mainly on how well it

paper. What made ,Fifth Avenue lin-
en b,etter than other 'paper in the
same price class? Mostly, the finish.
To make linen -finish paper, you.. put
the paper ,between two sheets of lin-
en and apply pressure. Some of the
linen is forced into the paper, giving
a• smooth, even surface. But low-
priced linen paper was finished in
sections—not one sheet of paper be-
tween the two ,sheets of linen but
• eight sheets. The result was that: the
middle sheets had a linen flavor' ra-
ther than a linen finish. Fifth Av-
enue was single -sheet finished—a new
process for ten -cent paper. It cost
more, but in -this case a manufactur-
er gambled a big increase in produc-
tion costs against -a prospective big
increase in vojume, and won his bet.
)Woolworth used to have a ten -cent
golf ball, but it ,was pretty poor. It
was labeled as a practice ball, con-
sisted of nothing more than a hard
rubber 'ball coated with enamel. In
February, -1932, when Woolworth up-
ped its top price to 20 cents, the buy-
er thought that maybe Woolworth
could get a regular golf [ball within
the 20 cent limit. • The makers of
hard rubber balls hooted. Very well,
said the buyer, if you don't make us
a real ball somebody elSe wi,11. And
the subsidiary &f a famed shoe com-
pany did. Now at 20 cents, Wool-
worth is selling a ball which . has a
rubber center around a liquid core.
then a halata cover, then an ample
supply of elastic winding, and final-
ly four coats of golf -ball enamel. Vie
ball is made on the sameestruetural
principle as the standard-prieeeballs
,(50 and 75 cents). And the buyer
cheerfully proclaims it equal to the
75 -cent variety. This last statement
represents a triumph of enthusiasm
over definition, but the 20. -cent ball is
an eminently practical, playable ob-
ject, long in the ' drive and true on
the greet.
These examples multiplied a hun-
drecifold represent that part of the
Woolworth business where most

where most brains aete expended, and
ultimately where leadership lies. Acs

Everyone. who aspired • to the slight-
est social standing, wanted to Make
the first trip, ,and since there were
eo regular tickets printed, Jack Mc-
Ginn was kept busy -writing substi-
tutes.
He assigned the ladies to the box
ar-known to all as "Joe Upper's
private [parlor ear," after the name
of the head contractor—and Teem,
Mended to the -m the luxury of the
wooden [benches, the tiny wod-brn-
Mg stove andethe deep pile of straw
carpeting.
Mr. McGinn was twenty' -six at that
time ' and already steeped in the
West's transportation problem. Be-
fore a railroad had -been a --possibility
he was riding Red River carts over
re/ugh prairie 'trails, delivering gov-
ernment freight, He even sat over a
load of nitro-glycerine while his; hard
riding vehicle pounded it, way over
gopher holes and badger burrows.
The Lamb Diet Cult
While infutton is one of the most
healthful of meat foods produced up-
on' the farm from time imMemorial;
it has not been as popular as beef Or
pork with the average Canadian fam-
ily. ' However, evith ghe •modern
methods of sheep faising and a cor-
responding increase in dietetic know-
ledge on the part of the rapidly
growing urban Oebytilations, booked
by the recommendations of medical
authrities' arid legality cult spetial-
kite, high grade lamb such fa is
found in present day markets is com-
ing inte greater favr. It is only in
recent years' that mutton jthatte bathe

MiCe and ChrysanthemuM
-
DeStruction of chrysanthemums by
mice -in a greenhouse is reported.by
a 41gor-dent in the Gardeners'
Chronicle. The trouble' was first ob-
served early in November when the
Mooing were nearly at their best,.,
and one morn. ing,it was .obServed that
a ,bloom had several florets ,miisirig,„
each floret having been neatly nipped
off.. Caterpillars were at, once sus-
pected and a watch *as kept for ,a
day ,or two. . On one occasion two
[blackbirds and a robin were disturbed
among the ditiegaritheinums, so. -sue-
pician fell on them, but nothing could
be proved. Later on, . the attack
started in real earnest, and he var-
iety to which the attacks vitete direct-
ed was the .wine -color -ed one which
goes by the name of 'Fred Green. A
flower of this, 'variety, averaging a-
bout six inches in diameter and depth.
was reduced to a few straggling flor-
ets it two , nights, and its reduced to frag-
ments. a night or two later. ' It was
on this 'latter ilower that unmistak-
able evidence of mice was found -
Nearly all the flower's ;of this variety
were attacked, despite the most
tempting poison bait -generously dis-
tributed, and the placing of the wine -
coloured variety in different parts of
the house every day. Eventually...lc
cat was chosen as -the guardian of
the chrysanthemums. .
Hay Shortage Expected
• A hay is probable in the
Str
. Laweenhe cOunties and the Ot-
tawa valley. before spring, and this
deebeing intensified lay the early win-
ter and extreeneseeld which has re-
cpaired heavier feeding than usual -
Some farmers are reducing their
herds since they are not in a financial
Position to buy hay and regard the
outlook as poor for 'satisfactory pri-
es for cattle. In the eastern part.
of central Ontario the hay crop was -
light also and farmers there realiz
that careful conservation of suppler
is necessary. Farther west, toward
-Toronto, thehay crop was good with
plenty of elfalfa and red clover, 'so
that on the whole there may he suf-
ficient hey in central Ontario to meet
requirements until ,spring. In north -r
ern Ontario the hay market at pres-
ent isquiet, the best demand being,
froin the mining towns. The supply
of hay in the agricultural sections of •
ntothern Ontario is believed to be-
suffioient for local needs. . • • ,
