John Robinson, the Chicago manager Of
the great friction match corporation, said
recently: They have got matches down
to a fine point in Michigan. They are
selling three boxes, that Is 100 matches,
for 2cents. There was a little factory
started at Grand Rapids. Matches were
yhen selling al - - case They put the
price down little and we were obliged
to meet them. They kept running down
and We kept meeting them until they got
lown TO 81 case. Then we took the
initiative and dropped TO 81. The retail
ers had stocked up AT from $l.2 TO 81 -.
which We're thought bottom prices. Now
, hey had 20 get rid Of the matches at any
sacrifice. and they began to cut. When
they had slaShed around to the dollar
limit, one man, who had been losing trade
by the drive on matches, put his down to
three boxes for cents. That is 90 cents a
,ase, or cents less than he can duplicate
them for. The other dealers offered To
buy out his entire stock, but he wouldn't
sell. He saw his trade coming back with
the sale of matches at this price. II struck
