Odd-Penny Prices
We are sp accustomed to
articles »n stores priced at 98
cents, $1.49, and other odd-pen
nv amounts that few persons
give any thonght to what once
was considered a freekish idea
of price making.
But G. H- Gilley, a weli-
known store advertising man-
ager, tells in a recent article
that the custom arose from th
solution of a very practical
problem by :t shrewd mer-
chant.
When Captain Roland H.
Macy got tired of sailing the
briny deep as a sea captain
and started a store in New
York, there were no cash reg-
isters or other means for check
ing up on his clerks- Money
received for purchases was
put in an old fashioned cash
drawer which made 110 records,
and the practice of "knocking
down" a euphemism for plain
stealing by clerks was quite
prevalent.
Macv changed all prices to
odd-cent amounts, established
cashiers to make the required
change, and kept a close watch
on the cashiers. Mis advertise-
ments of these odd prices
seemed to strike the public
eye favorably, and he got a
great response. What was at
first only an expedient to
keep from being robbed devel-
oped into a potent psycholo
gical appeal to his customers.
Tims the odtl-price has sur-
vived many years after the
original reason for its adoption
ceased to exist.—Florence
