SOME NOVELTIES IN PRICE TICKETS.
“Now, roughly figuring on the six orders, I found that it would take at least four hours to get the work out. This is but one example of the many little worries which tend to make up the everyday troubles of a department store sign writer. I therefore believe that it is absolutely necessary to run the shop under rules, an outline of which follows.”
Write up an order form and have printed and tableted, as our illustration shows.
Scraps of paper are very easily mislaid or lost, and you will find an order blank of the below description a very necessary acquisition to your shop. Charging the cards to their respective departments will teach your customers to be caretaking, hence your work will be considerably lessened. The cause is obvious.
It is well to make it a standing rule that no one should wait while signs are being made. This rule may be easily enforced by a promise of their prompt delivery when completed.
Signs should be made according to the order in which they are received; that is, every one should wait his or her turn. This rule need not apply to window tickets.
Make a sign for your shop to be read as below and after having signed by some one in authority, hang it in a conspicuous place and conform rigidly to its rules.
