available data on topics in the fields of accounting and statistics, retail store
management, advertising and selling, business organization and manage-
ment, federal and state income tax regulations, real estate, foremanship
training, business correspondence, credits and collections, and business
finance. When a request for information can not be answered completely
by letter, published source material is lent to the inquirer.

PUBLICATIONS. The Wisconsin Retail Bulletin, which contains business
items, suggestions, and statistics in condensed form and special articles on
matters of current interest to merchants, is published monthly. Upon re-

Lists of recommended books are being prepared and distributed, cover-
ing the various fields of business. From time to time other publications
containing information of interest to Wisconsin business men will be issued.

RETAIL CONFERENCES. Each year retail conferences are conducted in
a number of Wisconsin cities by members of the bureau staff. Practical

For convenience and efficiency of administration the state is divided
into districts in which field representatives are permanently located to
organize and to make known the many opportunities available to each
individual and community through the Extension Division.

Persons living anywhere in the state are thus able to have a personal
conference in their own city with a university representative and are able
to secure conveniently complete information regarding all the services of
the Extension Division, such as, correspondence-study courses; local classes;
package libraries, including medical; lectures and short courses; lantern
slides and motion picture films; municipal information; dramatic activities;
and information on problems of business, economics, and sociology.

The field representatives are ready at all times to give assistance in
organizing these activities for the use of the local community and may be
reached promptly through the Field Organization office at Madison.
