(x6 THE MODEL STOCK PLAN Industrial Revolution, where the great prizes are going to those who apply the principles of mass production and mass distribution. I firmly believe that a scientific examination of the facts would show that if the Model Stock Plan had become the established usage of the department stores ro years ago, their growth would have been much more rapid and the growth of chain stores much smaller than it has been. For the Model Stock Plan greatly concentrates buying and, there- fore, gives bulk buying to the department stores using it; this has its greatest advantage as applied to the higher- priced goods, where the greatest wastes in production exist today and where the possibilities for enormous savings exist. In addition to this, the scientific handling of style goods by the Model Stock Plan is also a big advantage. Moreover, department stores have other obvious advantages that the chain stores have not and will never have unless the various chains “tie” themselves together and, in addition to their neighborhood stores, occupy department store buildings. Independent stores and department stores will be greatly helped in meeting chain-store competition by using the Model Stock Plan. It fits perfectly into the new, more profitable method of mass merchandising. As long as there was no mass production in the world, applying the Model Stock Plan was less easy and perhaps less important. Now that mass production and mass distribution—as typified by Chevrolet and Ford and the chain stores—are clearly showing that they are the source of the greatest total profits, our Model Stock Plan is proving itself peculiarly fitted to get the greatest results from this new industrial machinery. Its use is bound to earn even greater total profits than in the past. Distribution as practiced today is so wasteful that in a very few years we shall have trouble understanding how we ever tolerated its wastes for so long a time. Within a very few years, better, more scientific methods of distribution will be in general use.
