The amount, of Christmas business this community does this year will depend in no little degree on the number of automobiles that can be parked, and the "turn over" of each parking space. For that reason every possible parking space should be made to pay a maximum profit, which means that no car should occupy oc-cupy a space for longer perio of time than necessary to transact business, busi-ness, and that "dead head" cars ihould not. be allowed parked in the business district at all. The habit and practice of local business and professional people of converting "live" parking space into torage by parking their personal cars for long periods of time, thereby there-by monopolizing in one day, space that could be used by five "pay" or customer cars, is not only a Community Com-munity Business liability, costing YOU money, but a means of actually driving business away from their own stores. ( Here are a few suggestions for those who want more business: Wise merchanjt associations will arrange with garage and parking lot proprietors for parking to be free to all those holding sales slips for purchase of goods over a specified speci-fied amount; they will clean up and convert every vacant lot near the business district into parking space, arrange for special police to guard cars so parked, and see that maxim um number of cars are accommodated, accommodat-ed, an both facts widely advertised. Stores can wall afford to deliver ' purchases to cars parked in garages and lots, the attendants accepting such deliveries and supervising plac- ing of such deliveries in proper auto mobiles. At this season mary boys, and even men, can be securej for this work at reasonable compensation. compensa-tion. ' If an arterial highway runs direct ly through the main business section, reroute this traffic until after busy buying season. |
