Дополнительное задание к уроку 6.

1. Прочитайте и переведите текст. Retailer and wholesaler.

A wholesale dealer acquires the merchandise directly from the industry. A wholesale dealer usually has a department store with plenty of storage space and an office with employees to transact the purchase of the goods along with their subsequent sale. They make offers and receive orders, they write bills and receipts, constantly control storehouse supplies and take care of timely delivery of goods.

Wholesale dealers often have sales representatives or travelling sales people which visit clientele of retail dealers, give them advice about the purchase of old and new merchandise. A wholesale dealer should have a lot of money since it is customary that he has to pay his supplies in advance while his customers are allowed a 2 or 3 months credit limit.

A retail dealer needs neither so much storage space nor so much money. Therefore his profit is not so high. He needs an attractive shop where his merchandise is exhibited so that the customers become anxious to buy. And the service should be fast and friendly. Certainly he has to have enough supply in order not to disappoint And lose his customers. If he has very little storage space, he can purchase merchandise from a certain wholesaler or from one of “Cash and Carry” shops. In this case he does not need to order the goods in advance. He can take them away immediately. The prices are reasonable. Certainly he can buy nothing on credit, but must pay in cash.
