A\nlarge portion of these, while being\nabsolutely good at face value under\nanything like normal conditions,\nrapidly depreciated, and in, some\ncases disappeared altogether,\nthrough shrinkage of inventories\nand the cancellation of orders. In\naddition to this, the necessity of\ngiving more attention to commitments has been realized, whieh in\nsome cases and under eertain conditions are equal to direct liabilities, A manufacturer, for instance,\nmay have committed himself to the\npurchase of a large volume of raw\nmaterial, on the strength of con*\ntracts from his customers to take\nthe resulting finished product.\nWhen the general public, by its\nantipathy to purchase goods at any\nprice stopped the movement of the\nfinished product, many of the manufacturer's customers cancelled orders. In most cases the manufac-\nturer could nol cancel if he would.\nand t hese commitments for raw materials contracted For al high prices,\nwithout the offset of his own customers* comicitmciits to 'him. developed into n very definite liability. Thus n novel element of loss\nw (is brought into the balance sheet\nunder n peculiar set of contingencies.\nIt became evident that the condition of a firm as shown in the balance sheet was not. merely based on\nthe apparent current condition of a\nfirm as shown in the balance sheet,\nor even in its balance sheet plus a\nfull knowledge of the concern's contingent liabilities\u00E2\u0080\u0094but full consideration must be given to all possible\nchanges that may occur in assets in\nrespect to the commodity values re-\npresented there and also in respect\nto the firm's orders on its books,\nthe standing and responsibility of\nits customers, and the related contingencies involved in its own commitments.\nIt is not unusual for a reaction to\nbe followed by a temporary spurt\nof prosperity, or at least a seeming\nrevival of business that often be-\n,'uiles business men into a re->ex*\npansion of their activities beyond\nfundamental requirements. Prudence must continue to control business plans until the readjustment of\nall phases of industry have been\nconsumated.\nThe price drop was particularly\ndestructive because it began from\nunprecedented peaks, established by\nan unequalled world-wide advance\nin commodity prices. These prices\nbecame so high, gradually bringing\non the great consumers' strike that\nswept the entire world, following a\nperiod of apparently unbridled extravagance. Extraordinary as it\nmay seem, many business men con*\nsidered that the same rate of purchasing by the public at these high\nprice levels would go on indefinitely. Many others apprehended a revulsion, but they placed it at some\nindefinite point in the future and\ndid not prepare for it.\nWhen the reaction came, inventory values melted away aud the\ncommitmeids of customers became\ncountless through the wholesale\ncancellation of orders that ran to\nunheard-of lengths. This resulted\nill many eases to profits heing\nproved to be nolhii!g more 'than\nnormal physical inventories carried\nat abnormal prices, and in many\ncases the shrinkage of these\nprices not only wiped out profits,\nbut also produced a serious impairment of capital. The cancellation\nof orders also converted the physical volume into over-supply, converting an asset into a liability. These\nconditions naturally became worse\nas goods for which a concern was\ncommitted continued to move into\nits inventory, 368\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIA RETAILER\nEducational Ideas for\nthe Retail Merchant\nExecutives' Relation to Their Salesforce.\nit is surprising how little after it a trad of doubt, suspicion,\nthought the average person gives to and a weakening of confidence, is\nthe simple things in life, and there not a successful sale.\nis a vast amount of satisfaction to ,> . .- \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ,\n, , , . , . . hverv activity of a retail store,\nbe derived from vour sales Force by \u00E2\u0096\u00A0', , , ,\n... , * , * financial, advertising, merchandise\nmaking them think. . \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 . ., t.\nui!\". or management, nnd their ui'r\nTo arouse thought in a right di- mate expression in those bus) young\nrection, even though sometimes BUch people behind the counter.

This task is made the more\ndifficult owing to the fact that anyone is permitted to operate a retail\nstore without any previous knowledge of merchandising ethics, and\nwho will consider himself capable of\nstanding alone, declining to recog-\nblamc tor the continued high prices mze the necessity of co-operation.\nof almost every commodity handled -be usual result is that after a short\nin a retail stoic, upon the retailer period of practices, which only serv-\nbimself, and have not realized the ('d to undermine public confidence\nproblems which confront the retail snd lower the prestige of the retail\nmerchant and winch are becoming community, the self-styled \"-\nmore complex every day.

Trowern of the Retail Merchants' Association has written the local office\nstating that the association's offer\nto appoint an advisory committee\nto confer with the customs and\ninland revenue department on all\nmatters relating to tax collections\nhas been gladly accepted by the\ndepartment.\nOttawa officials asked especially\nfor a committee of the printers and\npublishers' section, and Mr. Trowern says that a strong committee\nof nationally known houses, embracing general commercial printing, photo-engraving, lithographing, bookbinding, embossing, rubber stamp making, and printing\nplates was named.\nThe Dominion secretary states\nthat retail businesses are not entitled to pay the sales tax on account of special clause in the Special Revenue Act as follows: \"The\nexcise taxes specified in this section\nshall not be payable on the sales of\ngoods made to the order of each\ncustomer by a business which sells\nexclusively by retail.\" Mr. Trowern adds that many printers are\npaying a sales tax when they are\nnot required to do so. 370\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIA RETAILER\nSuccessful Convention\nof the Saskatchewan\nBranch of the R.M.A.\nADJUSTING DIFFERENCES\n<\u00C2\u00BB:.\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 1)1 ihfi IM.lltl |trV|C\u00C2\u00A3i :\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2!!!<:\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 proi its la] ottn <\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 wn$ in ,\u00C2\u00BB\ni< tilem<\u00E2\u0096\u00A0!\u00E2\u0080\u00A2' . f ;h<> dispute! thai \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\ntween memoeri and wholeest** ri i\n'.i luring firmi Man) letter* ol %\ \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nixiiov had been received not onh\nin\u00C2\u00AB-r bl I I bill from th.- Ittpplj h\nwith -rhb b iht r. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ttien ma) bait\nlo did ill -v. . thai fad \u00C2\u00BB \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nThe eighth annual convention of more co-operation on the pan ol nablt featttfi \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 *n parti*!\nthe Saskatchewan branch of the nwrchants in creating a greater oi r\"r '\u00E2\u0096\u00A0' ,ir'-- ' P* '\u00E2\u0080\u00A2:' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 m\u00C2\u00AB\nRetail Merchants Association ganization, the mott \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 I m th\u00E2\u0084\u00A2\noffered its members an excellent President Panticld stated that ' '\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\" - - 10 -i' h r- -..\u00E2\u0096\u00A0..\u00E2\u0080\u00A2.\nrecord of accomplishments at the retail merchant has a missii n; it is -u.i-^ were Um ted \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nthree days' conference held re- fo serve the Communitl bettCI foi ; ' , '. , ',' '\nccntly in Saskatoon, Sask. he was the one in actual touch with ', ' ..

TAKES EXCEPTION\nAT BANKER'S STATEMENT\n\"Supply and prices are becoming\nbroadly co-ordinated to demand,\nthough it must be said that retail\nprices are not keeping step with\nwholesale in the downward movement.\"\nSuch wording appearing in the\nannual statement of a well known\nbanking institution occasioned the\nofficials of the R. M. A. headquarters at Ottawa to protest vigorously to the general manager of the\nbank, on the grounds that such\ncomments on the trading situation\nexpressed by officers of an important financial institution were liable\nto aggravate the misunderstanding\nalready existing in the various\ncommunities and prove exceedingly\ndetrimental to the retailers' business.\nIn his reply to the Dominion\nsecretary's correspondence, tin-\nbank manager stated that the remarks made in this connection were\nof general application and were not\nintended to apply to individual retailers, and that while he was not\ndesirous of entering into an argument on the subject, he was nevertheless open to conviction, and if\nfigures were obtainable covering a\nfairly wide range of the various\nlines, showing that retail prices\nhave been reduced in the same proportion as the wholesale, the error\nin the bank's statement would be\ngladly admitted.\nCarefully prepared questionnaires\nhave been forwarded from Ottawa\nto the secretaries of the various\nprovincial boards, seeking reliable\nstatistics on price reduction in\nfoodstuffs, etc., obtaining in retail\nestablishments, and when the desired information is secured a report will be published and presented to the bank in question.\nThis report will undoubtedly be\nawaited with interest, not only by\nthe banking community, but also\nl>v the consumer.\nCALIFORNIAN COMING\nTO ADDRESS AUTOMOBILE\nDEALERS OF PROVINCE\nThe arrangements were completed for the appearance in Victoria\nand Vancouver on August .'\u00C2\u00BB and 4\nrespectively of Mr. It. W. Mart-\nland, secretary of the California\nAutomobile Trade Association, an\norganization, which has the distinction of being the most aggressive in the United States, has been\nsuccessful in having its insignia\nadopted in eighteen states of the\nUnion, and it is now being taken\nover by New Zealand.\nJ. T. CROWDER\nPresident. Vancouver Branch B. C.\nBoard, who is Speakinq at the Provincial Convent on at Duncan July 27.\nSTORING APPLES IN GAS.\nIn storing apples there is a very\ninteresting alternative to cold storage, known as \"gas storage.\" The\napples are placed in an air-tighi\nchamber Pilled with the gas produced by the respiration of the\napples themselves. An electrical instrument is used to determine\nwhether at any time the proportion\nof carbon dioxide in this gas heroines excessive, and when that condition occurs air is admitted to\ndilute the gas. The air is kept in\nslow circulation by its own temperature variations and means arc\ntaken to remove excess of moisture.\nIt is stated that this system\ndoubles the time during which apples can be kept in good condition,\nand that the cost of working fis\nvery much below that of any k'nd\nof cold storage. The merits of the\nsystem are heing closely studied by\nthe British Investigation Board.\nANNOUNCEMENT\nA. P. Slade and Company, Ltd.,\nof 114 Water Street, Vancouver,\nwho for a number of years have\nbeen engaged in the wholesale fruit\nand produce business, are now in a\nposition to supply all lines of groceries to the retail trade. In addition to the well known \"Meadow-\nbrook\" butter, peanut butter, etc.,\nit is the intention of the firm to\nmanufacture jams and jellies of all\ndescriptions and these products\nwill also bear the \"Meadowbrook\"\nlabel.\nThat the venture will succeed\nunder the capable management of\nMr. A. P. Slade, there is little reason to doubt, and the firm have\nthe good wishes of the community\nin this undertaking.\nMr. Geo. S. Kellaway, formerly\nin the grocery business in Calgary,\nAlta., is in charge of that end of\nthe business of A. P. Slade & Co.,\nLtd., on Water Street.\nPRACTICAL IDEAS FOR RETAILERS.\nFor Attaching Signs.\nUse large circular gummed\nstickers of colors to fasten cardboard signs or paper announcements\u00E2\u0080\u0094to bulletin hoards, Avails or\nexterior of windows.\nThe contrast in color and design\nbetween the stickers and signs\ncreates a pleasing effect. This\nmethod is much more satisfactory\nthan the use of paste or tacks. Suitable gummed stickers are carried in\nstock bv stationers.\nTo attach a note or memorandum to photographs for display\npurposes, use rubber cement. After\nuse the paper ean be removed, and\nthe cement rubbed off the photograph with an eraser. If good rubber cement is used the photograph\nwill not he harmed.\nEven if the future be shrouded\nin mist, as a prominent statesman\nhas declared, the only mist that\nneed trouble anyone is the pe si-\nniist.\nA Novelty\u00E2\u0080\u0094That's All.\nSometime when you are tired of\nthe monotonous appearance of your\nwindows, or if you need an idea for\na display, try the following:\nUse one window for articles for\nuse in cooking, another window for\narticles oi use in cleaning house.\nLabel one window with a large sign:\n\"Of interest to good cooks only.\"\nThe other window: \"Of interest to\ngood housekeepers only.\" Although the arrangement is simple,\nit docs not call for unusual skill,\nami will be found effective because\nit appeals to the curious interest of\nthe passersby. 372\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIA RETAILEH\nfourth Hnnual Contention\nof He B.C.

This was the subject of a paper read at the Pennsylvania Convention at Scranton recently, by Adam Zeigler, which\nproved to be the nucleus of an interesting address\nwhich we reproduce In part for the benefit of our\nreaders. Realizing that it would be difficult to\nanswer such a question as the above by a single\ndefinition, there being BO vast a difference of ideas\nand tastes between various localities, Mr. Zeigler\nstates:\n\"We are. nevertheless, able to tell a few\nthings that a loaf should not be.\n\"The definition will also be modified by the\nl<\u00C2\u00BBint of view. The question arises. 'Are you trying to bake the kind of a loaf the consumer wants'.\"\nor 'Are you trying to baki1 the kind of a loaf you\nthink the consumer ought to want?'\nThe accurate judgment of a loaf involves a\ncareful analysis of all its properties. It is not\nenough to look at a loaf and make this analysis\nunconsciously; each character must be taken in\nturn and studied by itself.\nAs a Loaf Should He\nThe first thing in a loaf of bread that strikes\nthe eye is the shape. It would probably be a\ndifficult matter to induce the public to buy a loaf\n<>f bread having all three dimensions the same,\nthat is, a cubical loaf.\nUngainly shapes of the loaf are sometimes\ncaused by material change of weight without a\ncorresponding change in the pan size. Sometimes\nthe pan is too large for the dough, and a flat loaf\nis the result; at other times the reverse is the\ncase, and a high loaf bulging over the sides is the\nresult. A perfect loaf should be regular and symmetrical.\nThe color of the top crust or bloom should be\nattractive. The pale crust of over fermentation\nand the foxv color of under fermentation should be\navoided. 'Phe deep reddish brown is the color\npreferred, with only a slight gloss; although the\ngloss is largely a matter of local preference. The\ncolor of the sides and bottom should not be overlooked.\nAfter a loaf is cut. the character oi the crust\nshould be examined. A thin, crisp and tender\ncrust is due to a cool oven and a tough crust often\nfollows too much steam in the food box. Both ot\nthese should be avoided.\nBlisters show errors of fermentation, but fine\ncracks running through the crust are not objec-\ntioanble.\nThe color of the crumb is important. The\npublic does not demand a loaf that is dead white,\nbut prefers the richer appearance of a loaf, with\ncrumb of delicate creamy shade.\nFew flours on the market will give a yellow\ncolor, if handled properly, and this may be avoided\naltogether by the use of more salt, more yeast,\ncooler fermentation and more thorough fermentation. For all these make a finer grain and the\nwhiteness of a loaf depends on the grain and not\nthe ingredients. That objectionable gray shade\non a loaf is often the result of too warm a dough.\nThere is quite a difference of opinion regarding the grain. The home-made loaf is classed as\ncourse, rather than fine, and while too large holes\nshould be avoided, extreme fineness savors over\nmuch of bakers' machinery. Streaks from the\nuse of too much dusting flour and a folding in of\nthe skin are inexcusable.\nOval, rather than round holes, are considered proof of good flour and proper handling.\nA good texture, that is, the ability to tear off\nthe layers of the bread and leave a silky surface,\nis evidence of well conducted fermentation, even\nthough not so recognized by the public.\nThe feel of the crumb should be elastic, velvety, slightly moist. A dry crumbly loaf will certainly fail in the face of competition, just as\nmuch as an unbaked doughy loaf.\nFlavor I take to means the combination of\ntaste and smell. The characteristic rich bread\nflavor is evidence of plenty of salt, plenty of yeast\nand well controlled fermentation. With less than\n1 per cent, of salt, bread is inclined to be flat and\nwith 2-..\u00C2\u00BB per cent, is decidedly salty; from 1%\nper cent, to 2 per cent, salt according to the grade\nof the flour, seems to give the best results.\nThere is nothing like milk for improving the\nflavor of bread. Use as much as you can afford.\nYou will not only recover the cost in increased\nsales, but you will be turning out a loaf of higher\nnutrition, that will create a permanent demand\nfor your goods.\nWe can taste only things that are sweet, sour\nor salty. In all other flavors we unconsciously\nutilize the sense of smell. The public will soon\ntire of a loaf that is too sweet; and a sour loaf is\ndue to warm dough and over-fermentation. This\ncan only be sold in certain very limited localities.\nDeal With Our Advertisers: They Make Thll Official Publication Possible at $2.00 a Year. :}!){i\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIA RBTAILKR bmm\nP\nThe Bayers' Favorite\nGOVERNMENT BRAND\nream of the West\nFLOUR\nTHE HEDLEY SHAW MILUNG COMPANY, LIMITED\nMEDICINE HAT, ALBERTA\nPhone Seymour 2245 Affiliated with MAPLE LEAF MILLING CO., LIMITED\nVancouver Office: 510 Hastings Street West\nAND YOU OPEN THF1R\nPOCKETBOOKS\nTickle Their Palates\nRich cakes arc the favorites.\nThe fact, thai Bakers' Cottolene ia 100*3 fat has made it ,\u00C2\u00AB ^rcal help t\u00C2\u00AB\nbakers.\nBakers1 Cottolene is all rielim ss nil nni ural \u00E2\u0080\u00A2' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nIts richness makes possibh ihi uiuu results .villi I-\nuuiiees of Bakei*s1 Cottolene ns with IO ounces ol ttii)\nother shortening,\nIf you don't already know Bakers' Cottolene, let\none of our salesmen explain what it can do for you.\nDOS EEFAIRBANKSaSfiEl\nHADE IN CANADA u***t-\u00C2\u00BB\n^^ MONTREAL\n^2'COTTOLEN\nPacked in Tierces, Half Barrels, Tubs and Pails.\nHHMMMWWMBMIM-WMI^^ 921\nTHE BRITISH COLUMBIA RETAILER\n391\nRegarding the density of the loaf, Its specific\ngravity or relation Of weight and size, there is a\nwide difference of opinion in different parts of the\ncountry; in some places volume is wanted regardless of weight, and in other sections a rather dense\nloaf seems to meet the demand.\nKeeping quality of a loaf is less important\nnow, m these days of rapid delivery, than it was\nformerly. This depends largely on the amount of\nshortening used.\n(heck I p Vour Loaf\nIt is a good custom, from time to time, to\ntake one of your loaves at random, place it on the\ndesk before you. cut it and impartially as possible\nestimate its value, Write down the percentage\nyou will give each quality, add them up and determine the value of your loaf. See where it is lacking and in what particulars you can improve it.\nThe quality of a loaf depends almost entirely\non two things its ingredients and its fermentation. The best bread cannot be made from poor\ningredients. No skill in handling will completely\novercome lack of quality in the things that go\ninto the loaf.\nThere are many ways of handling flour, but\nthere is only one best way. and it is impossible to\nobtain good results by changing from car to car\n- f flour without changing the fermentation, salt,\ntemperature, yeast, etc, as so many bakers do.\nNo chemical analysis will give the information tn be obtained from the handling and baking\nof a few loaves. A chemical analysis is a help,\nIhe determination of the absorption is of s;>me\nassistance, but the final test of the value of a flour\nis a study of a finished loaf.\"\nDON'T FOOL WITH QUALITY\nThese clays, when in numerous sections of the\ncountry there are merry price wars going on\namong bakers, when members o*i the trade foolishly not only attempt to cut each other's business throats, but also their prices, the temptation\nis always near to lower the quality of one's product\nin order to keep up such a costly fight. A baker\nwho permits himself to be drawn into a price war\nis bound to lose, but the baker who is unwise\nenough to believe that he can win out by lowering\nthe quality of his bread and other products will\nbe doubly the loser. The price for one's goods can\nalways be regulated, and after the absurd contest\nis over in almost every instance prices can be\nput back where they belong without much explaining to the public. Whenever a baker, however, during such a conflict with his competitors\ntries to fool both himself and the public by making an inferior loaf of bread he will have a very\nhard time, indeed, to get back his business. The\npeople may laugh and enjoy a price war among\nbakers for a time, and benefit thereby, but, as a\nrule, they are not apt to forget inferiority that\neven only temporarily has been palmed off on\nthem. So don't be tempted. If you are weak\nenough to become party to a price war, don't let\nyourself be inveigled into lessening the quality of\nyour goods. On the contrary, make the very best\ngoods possible, and even if you should lose, as you\nare bound to, during a conflict of this kind among\ncompetitors, you will gradually get your money\nback, for the people will remember quality when\nthe price has long been forgotten.\ni'\n((i\n' 11\nfo\nPROVINCIAL BAKERS TO\nMEET\nRecommendations from the bak-\nffl of Victoria, calling for a joint\nnference of Vancouver and \ ic-\nna bakers for the purpose of\nrming a Provincial Makers' section of the K.

Should, however, the aforementioned commodities be manufactured lor sale to\nanother dealer for consumer distribution, the sales tax is collectable.\nThe provincial secretary advises\nthat a wire from Ottawa is expected\nshortly confirming this ruling.\nP.
