American Florist:— WTiat number of persons is necessary for a store that averages receipts of $250 per day in a general retail down town district, comprising all the. trade and the demand for help that an or- dinary retail floral concern should have? A. E. Replying to "A. ; regarding number of help necessary for a store doing a business of $250 per day on an average, I would say from experience that it re- quires flrst of all a good capable man- ager who should do little else than to see that stock is kept in good shape, window display kept attractive, orders going out promptly and all other mat- ters too numerous to mention, three or four good sales people, two ladies and tv/o men preferably, are needed also. A first class designer and decorator and a helper, who would do a porters' work, or a regular porter if the store room was large. Also a bookkeeper and a stenographer. For delivery work one driver might do, but I should say two and also two boys. For holiday trade extra sales people and extra delivery men would be needed, and I would add that the very best help obtainable is absolutely necessary to increase trade and also to hold it, as I believe that the florist's trade depends more upon the ability of the help than any other trade.
