DAILY EDITION Member of Audit Bureau of Circulations 5 n 88 PAPERS MAbE 5.0U .10 3.00 Wednesday, July 25, 1934 STRIKES ARE FOOLISH Strikes are war of a minor nature. They entail much suffering, loss of money for the people engaged and loss of real wealth for the country. They breed ill-feeling As in real war, the chief sufferers are the women-and children. LTike real war they are unnecessary. This does not mean that we are blaming the men for striking. In the past it has been often their only weapon. Today we are coming to a realization that labor problems ,are national problems and should be dealt with by the na-.tioiL So strikes could be prevented by the nation. We are "making progress but we have not yet fully adjusted ourselves to the new conditions of life which are being ushered in by the twentieth century.

' HOW MUCH IS A CUSTOMER WORTH? gTSvery businessman will have a different idea as to just Jfh5v much a regular customer is worth to him. Here is the ppmioii'M one well known authority: A customer is worth $85 a year t6 ar cl6thihg store'.' A. customer is Worth $362 a year to a department store. A customer is worth $236 a year to a women's specialty store with a full line. - A customer is worth $35 to $68 a year to a shoe store. A customer is worth $85 a year to a furniture store after complete furnishings have been purchased. A. customer is worth $35 a year to a music store. After a Ford car has been purchased, the customer is worth $215 a year to the dealer. A trader is worth $3G0 a year to a stock broker. A customer means many times any of the above amounts to a manufacturer. These figures, of course, may be wrong, but they at least impress upon merchants the importance of retaining old customers and finding new ones.
