Two yeurs ago wiieu the European
war commenced to unsettle business
conditions, the Associated Advertis
ing Clubs instituted an investigation
to ascertain to just what extent the
war had afiecUui, or ruther decreas
ed, purchases of committers. - This
investigation showed a decrease of
2.3 per cent as compared with the
previous year. ; : : t
In 1915 another investigation
along similar lines was made
tnroughout the United States and
Canada and then it was ascertained
that in the aggregate, tho average in
crease in American consumption had
increased 10.93 per cent over the
previous year. In 6pite of the war
this Increase was recorded. This
investigation showed that the Unit
ed States was enjoying a period of
unprecedented -prosperity. This be
li:g truo, it Is believed that the year
1916 will finish with a record never
betore approached.
Along Like Linen
To ascertain Just what the year
1916 has brought about in the way
c' ldo.a(co prosperity is woy the in
vestigation is being made at this
time. And to secure the required
data, the investigation will be con
ducted along lines similar, to those
of the two previous years.
The Investigation will cover the
six principal lines of retail business,
as follows: Department stores, groc
eries clothing, hardware, Jewelry
and drug stores. v

In .conducting this investigation,
no names are asaea or aeaiers auu
consequently no business secrets are
sought. It is Just a plain business
proposition and all answers are on a
percentage basis, rive questions
are asked in gathering the required
data. They are: I
What is the per cent of Increase,
or decrease, in your total volume of
sales for November, 1916, as com
pared with November, ,1915?
The same question relating to ad
vertising expenditures.
The same question relating to vol
ume of stock on hand.
The same question relating to net
profit.

the data from the cities of the Unit'
ed States and Canada is collected it
will take all the guess out of bust

durlne the coming year.
fThe compilation of the data to be
undertaken goes Into book form for
distribution among merchants and
business men of the country and is
looked upon as being of Inestimable
value, due to the fact that this data
shows the condition and trend of
business in every section , of the
