store, with its enlarged merchan-
dise display arrangement has a sin-
gular interest to the Sears Com-
pany. In 1948. when the company
was working on plans to display
merchandise at their order stores,
in a semi-retail system, the com-
pany used the Coleman store as a
pilot for their national group of
order stores, and the experience
gained here in 1948 has been ap-
plied through the organization’s

ALLOW POSTAGE PROFITS
Postage stamps may be sold at
any price by private Individuals or
business firms, reports Capper’s
Fanner. The popular belief that
they must be sold "at cost" stenis
from a law which provides that
United States postage stamps shall
not be solfl by postmasters or postal
employees for more or less than face
value.
