Excerpt from Selling Expenses and Their Control: A Study in the Retail Distribution of Clothing

This study was undertaken for two primary purposes: first, to determine what it costs to sell clothing in stores operating as independent units, and second, to find, if possible, the principles governing these costs and the methods by which they may be controlled.

A previous study made by the Bureau of the retail cost of distributing clothing showed that it was necessary to classify stores by years, by size and by location. Accordingly, such a classification is provided for in this analysis. But here the study is pushed further. It answers the question: What are the conditions which control the amounts of selling expense? and it measures the degree to which the control is exerted under different conditions of store operation.

The study was begun on the basis of certain hypotheses which, on an a priori basis, seemed to summarize the conditions controlling selling expense. These hypotheses were tested statistically on the basis of store records for different years and for stores of different size and location. Briefly, the analysis has led to the conclusion that the relations of selling expense to sales and to total operating expense are governed by conditions which, to a large degree, are subject to effective merchandising control; that they vary according to clearly defined principles; and that these principles can be stated and the conditions of expense distribution under them measured. In a word, the analysis has led to the belief that there are certain master or controlling facts behind individual facts, as they show themselves in modern business, and that these may be revealed through statistical analysis of mass information. There is a science of business. Its principles can be stated so that those who are interested can, if they will, act in the light of them rather than in the grip of blind routine.

In the preparation of this study, the value of the services of the entire staff of the Bureau is cheerfully acknowledged. Special mention, however, should be made of the part which has been taken by Miss Blanche Altman, assistant to the Director, and by Miss Irmgard J. Grabbe, the Director's secretary.
