Wallace H. Bracken, buyer for the leather goods department of the Gorham Co., sailed April 19 on the Aquitania for Southampton. Before his return he will visit England, France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Although the primary purpose of his trip is to make an important and noteworthy extension of operations in buying merchandise for the Gorham retail stores, he will also make an intensive study of the European market with especial reference to new ideas to be utilized both in the Gorham wholesale and retail organizations. His research work will be of especial interest and importance, as it will not be confined to leather goods, but will include the merchandizing of gold and silver novelties, bronzes, stationery, ecclesiastical ware and all phases of the jewelry and silverware business.
