STOPPING UNNECESSARY LOSSES
Another Way to Offset Rising Costs
There is some waste effort, or lost motion, in every
business, and it costs money. Much of this loss can be
prevented. Here are some losses which investigations
show are quite common in retail stores:
Mistakes on invoices $ 12.00
Mistakes on customers' bills 60.00
Failure to charge goods sold on credit 120.00
Wasted suppliei 12.00
Mistakes in simple addition. .. 24.00
Time wasted in calming customers dissatisfied
because of overcharges 12.00
Total.. $240.00
There are other retail losses, but these are a few of
the preventable ones. And it pays to prevent them be
cause $240 is a respectable sum. It is 6% profit on $4000
worth of business.
It is not surprising that many retailees make mistakes
in figures, because much of their figure work is done by
clerks during rush hours and it is not closely checked after
wards. Wholesalers and manufacturers exploy expert ac
countants and provide them with adding machines to check
their work, but even they occasionally make mistakes.
Merchants who are not already doing so will find it
pays to chebk all figure work carefully.
Some retailers have found that their clerks waste 40 '!( of their
salaries by extravagant use of twine and paper and thru overweights.
Good merchants give this subject close attention. In short, some tidy
profits are being made by preventing unnecessaiy losses.
Our business message this week, therefore, is to provide means of
stopping losses because that is one way of offsetting rising cost«.
We are not systematizers, but if you are interested in stopping
losses we might be able to ofier some helpful sugeestions. It is our
policy to maintain a complete, helpful banking tervice. Feel free to
avail yourself of that service.
