Farming-Out Issues, Liechtenstein is a Principality, situated in the Alpa between the Tyrol and Switzerland. Its area is about sixty-five square miles, and its population about, 11,000. It is ruled by a Frince of a dynasty. which dates back as far as the twelfth century, and it "most cer- tainly appears that its position hag served for its having succeeded in

Government Notification No. 397 of 1889, dated September 21, states: "Letters, parcels, etc., for Tsim Sha Trui (Kowloon) and steamers in harbour may be posted in the General Post Office up to 11.30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Letters from Taim Sha Tsui ma be posted in the letter-box which is placed in the Police Station Compound up to 12 and 4 o'clock.

TRAINING FOR SHOP LIFE.

NEED FOR EXPERT SALESMEN,

*

Speaking at the Drapers' Cham ber of Trade Summer School nt Cambridge laat month, Mr. S. A Williams, principal of the Londou County School of Retail Distribu- tion, said: "We have an excellent system of training school in this country for engineers, for ar chitects, in fact, for almost every trade except that of retail dis tribution. What we need is scien tific training for retail distribution, on a basis equal to that of the train- ing now given for engineering

"Some people have the impres- sion that anybody can sell things That is ridiculous. We could all give instances of business being lost and customers alienated by inexpert salesmen. There is no trade in which the personal quality of the people engaged in it is more im. portant than it is in the drapery trade. There is virtually no ma chinery in a shop, and the whole success of it depends entirely upon the personal qualities, of the in- dividuals, employed there. Whate ever improvements and develop- ments are made, this personal quality will always remain the prims factor."

Mr. Williams added that it was the duty of the trade itself to formulate what kind of education it wasted for its young people and then to cooperate with the educa- tion authorities. Little could be done without that guidance and help from the trade.

In 1912 the right was given, after payment of a heavy

down; to syndicate to. supply the country with the few, stamps needed for actual postal purposes, and then allowing them. to well as many stamps as they liked to dealers and collectors. As soon as an issue shewed a decline, an other was introduced and so this,

game went on for a period of twelve years, when the syndicate for some reason. no longer continued the lucrative scheme, and it passed into the, hands of the printers who pro duced the stamps of Switzerland.

It might he thought that this circumstance places the stamps of this country on higher and sounder-footing, but in my humble opinion such is not the ense, since the issues continue to come fast and. furious The requirements of this place cannot possibly demand such a prolific output, and collectors should, therefore, use sound judg. ment in the choice of stamps emanating from Liechtenstein if they wish their collections to be representative of postage stamps.
