THEY HOLD PURSE STRINGS It is Estimated That at Least 80 Per Cent. of Retail Purchasing Is Done hy Feminine Shoppers. (Copyright.) ' It has been said that the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world and nowhere is this more literally true than in the world of trade. The woman is the purchasing agent of the household and, man, as a rule, is very glad|to have her handle the job. : It has been estimated by some students of the merchandising game that 80 per cent. of all retail buying is dene by women, This may be a high estimate but a visit to the retail stores of any town or city is enough to convince one that the figures are not too high. The preponderance of Women among the buyers is sufficient, at any rate, to make not only the re- taller but the manufacturer and the wholesaler realize that it is the women that they must please with their merchandise. ' Because they do by far the greater part of the buying in any com- munity, the women have a responsibility that they do not always appreciate. The women of a town, through: their buying power, can make or break the merchants of a town and as a natural consequence they can make or break the town, It is in their power to make.it a prosperous town or a dead town. Wheii'the women of a town acquire the mail order habit, the town may just as well begin making arrangements for its own obsequies. Just why a woman, who is a shopper by instinct and a shrewd judge of values in merchandise, should succumb to the lures of the mail order house it is difficult to understand but, unfortunately, some of them do. No one knows better than the woman who has had some experience in the buy- ing of merchandise how difficult it is to distinguish between the genuine and the imitation even after a close inspection. The good shopper, when on buying bent, does not always take the first'article that is offered for inspec- tion. In fact this is the exception rather than the rule The merchants know it and expect it. They expect a woman, if she is a good shopper, to "look around a little." If a woman should walk Into a retail store and purchase the first suit that she tried on, for instance, the shock probably would prove fatal to the storekeeper or the saleswoman. . The chances are that she will tty on a dozen suits and look at as many more before she selects pne that suits her taste or pocketboo a the storekeeper mot only expects but wishes her to do this. He her to be 'satisfied as he knows that a satisfied customer is the best [Advertisement 'that he can obtain, es Taking a Chance. 3 « This same woman, however, may order a suit from a mail order house on the strength of nothing more than a pretty picture and an alluing des cription. She has not even the opportunity to try'it on, to say nothing of the chance of examining the fabric, noting the exact shade of the material and inspecting the workmanship. She is taking chances on the suit fit- ting her. on the material being good and durable, the shade becoming to her and the workmanship of such a character that the suit will not fall to biscte. - 'The woman who takes such chances eannot be called a shrewd opper. It might be more easily understood why mere man, unaccustomed and averse, as a rule, to shopping excursions should fall a victim to.the catalogue habit. He might find it easier to order from the picture in the catalogue than to go to a store and look for the article that we wanted or he might ti the position that he wouldn't know what he was getting anyway if he ent to the store and he might as well take a chance on the mail order gamble, but why the woman who knows what she wants and knows that she is getting what she wants when she gets it should buy on the "sight un- seen" plan--well, that's another question altogether. Women are taking a more and more prominent part in public affairs all the time. They are aiding now in many parts of the country in running the affairs of state~ Even where they do not have the ballot they are play- ing a big part, individually and through their organizations, in the con~ duct particularly of local governmerits, yet in the one field w Ip build up their communities they may be overlooking thelr opportunity. With the buying power in their hands they can do more for their community by staunchly supporting their home business men than they can possibly do in any other way. Man may think he is a very important element in mn, but when he reflects that 80 per cent. of the buying power of the community is in the hands of the women he is apt to realize that he is a very insignificant atom. iy FOR ALL KINDS OF MEATS See us.
