Desk-DustingBUSINESS BRIEFS

Marsh al l F ie ld , who was undoubtedly the world's greatestmerchan t, was always extremely reluctant to a ss ig n a d es k t oanyone who had anyth ing to dowith retail sales-even including department heads, buyersand merch andi se execu ti ves,"Give a m an a desk," he said,"and he'll want to sit at it." Itwas his opinion evidently thata m an sitting at a d esk can't beso actively, intimately and constnntly in touch with merchandise, with customers, with comp la in ts and the ceaseless ebband flow of h is business, as theman who was on h is f ee t. Theman who i s s tand ing up can seemore, and the more he sees, themore he wilJ think. The manwho stands up might ju st aswell w al k a bo ut , a nd wal ki nga bou t d is clo se s man y t hi ng sthat never come to t he knowl edge of a desk-duster.
