The object of the researches is to learn the facts in regard to carrying on these businesses as a basis for instruction in some of the Business School courses, but in addition to supplying this information, the researches have been very valuable in aiding the retailers themselves, and have brought out many facts which throw...

Already the Yard has become riddled with unsightly short-cuts, with many more in an embryonic state. So little effort need be expended in turning aside to the ever-present path, that it seems unfortunate to mar the greensward.
