"A book of reference containing definitions and explanations of upwards of 2200 words, terms and expressions used in dry goods and general store work and connected industries, to which is appended many useful tables and a defined list of shoe and leather trade terms. Intended for ready reference and . constant use at counter and desk. The authors' purpose was to create a reference "that may be in the pocket or in the fixtures at a handy place at all times. These business people have no time to ponder over extended articles on preparationand manufacture, anymore than has the man in the office who suddenly comes across a word of a term unfamiliar to him. It . has been the endeavor to give herein the shortest possible definition.The editor remembers his desire, as . a green clerk, to possess a dry good dictionary , but the price of the only one then in existence was h igher than he could afford to pay. That fact has been a large incentive in the preparation of this work -- to get it into the hands of every clerk in every store at a time when it is most needed.The cost is not prohibitive to any such who have the desire for information.".
