Hey Percy, with your love of retailing you’d enjoy reading ‘Shopping, Seduction & Mr Selfridge’
by Lindy Woodhead.

I really enjoyed it, an amazing story

Selfridges been going for over a hundred years and still going strong with double digit growth last year. Not too bad for a ‘department store’. Just shows you look after the customers and give them a good experience year after year good retailers can win.

Yeah it is doing ok, cannot under estimate its location for its success thou.

I guess as shareholders we have to say it is...........lol.

ps.Tried a pair of modern cut pants my size a week ago at Kmart.Couldn't them get up past my knees.
Then had trouble getting out of them.

Been having trouble sleeping the last few nights, not sure if its the ATM roller coaster keeping me awake or the images of Percy trying on a modern pair of pants that keeps flashing into my mind

Stats NZ Electronic Card Spend for October

Apparel sector down 4.5% on October last year

Things getting a bit slow in this sector? - even with Topshop sales and Clarke buying himself a suit.

Core retail up nearly 2%

Which is exactly why their future direction will be combined Glassons / Hallensteins stores saving potentially a significant part of their occupancy costs (2017 $27.4m) as they continue to ramp up online sales channels. I back these guys because they've been in business a long time and are very good operators.

Well Mr Beagle, time to give AIR and ATM a breather. It's that time of year again.6 days to go before ex div. A nice juicy 17c div. The good thing is, about 18 weeks later they give you another big juicy div. you better hurry, time is running out.
