WHAT IS A MODEL STOCK? 37 6. To regulate buying by a buying calendar that shows in detail when resources are likely to be able to supply goods to our best advantage. After all, the merchant’s real task is buying for the public. The economic reason for our store’s existence is that we fulfil a need in collecting merchandise in large quantities into a centralized place convenient for a large number of people to come to and buy in smaller quantities. As we know, it is our function to bring into our store what our customers need or want. Then we must offer it to them in the right styles, varieties, kinds, and models, at the lowest prices.
