Description
-
By 1931-32, Georgiana W. Hathaway, long time retail distribution professor, was the supervisor of the newly redesigned "retailing courses" offered by the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanic's Institute. These courses took the former 3 to 5 retail distribution courses and condensed them into two- "Current Retail Problems" and "Merchandising"- the later of which is now a profession in its own right. Topics for the merchandising course include mark-ups/downs, the 'buying contract', and inventories.
