Excerpt from How to Develop and Expand a Retail Business: Testing Ways to Get More Trade

As a matter of fact, there are many classic incidents illustrating this truth - the cash register is said to have come from a device for recording the revolutions of a ship's engines, for example. These incidents all go to illustrate the important fundamental truth that the various types of businesses are, after all, very much alike.

The A. W. Shaw Company has on file records of hundreds of letters which demonstrate the practicability of using the other man's idea. There is even a department "How I Used Another Man's Idea" in its magazine, System, which you will receive in connection with your purchase of this book.

Here's an example which proves the point:

System for March 1917 showed a form that the Ford Motor Company's welfare department uses to keep track of the outside lives of the company's employees. George N. Imel, who sells furniture and house furnishings at retail in Columbus, Indiana, is a long way removed - commercially - from the Ford welfare department. Mr. Imel writes:

Of course I couldn't use the Ford welfare card exactly as it stood, but the principle is the same. In our credit business what we desire is information about our customers.

Our card is based on the Ford card. We enter each payment on the customer's card, and when the account is closed file away the card for future reference. The reference system we build up will be very valuable. Meanwhile the cards are helping us keep track of our customers.

Be sure to read each issue of System carefully, for it will describe to you month after month tested plans for saving time, new and practical methods for increasing your sales, for advertising, training salesmen, keeping records, holding down expenses, and carrying on all the other activities of your business in the most effective way.
