METHODS OF THE MANUFACTURERS
ASSOCIATION OF SAN FRANCISCO

The Manufacturers association OF San
Francisco are making great howl about
patronlzing home industries, aud in
order to set good example are going
to do little home patronizing them selves
in the way OF advertising in the home
papers. The way they are going to do IT
is by 'buncniug" all their advertising
in a lump and offering it to the papers at
cut rates. They so on the principle that
advertising in job lots should be placed
at wholesale prices, as it were. Now sup
pose we reverse the proposition, or,
rather, apply it to the public and have
them form an association for the purpose
of purchasing only such goods OF Califor-
MA manufacture as they can buy at less
than wholesale prices. This is the
method followed by the manufacturers of
the goods, and they should not object to
the same sort of treatment as they them
selves adopt.
There is another side to this propo-
sition. There is no section OF the country
where newspapers receive so low a rate
for advertising space as on the Pacific
coast Even the biggest of the San
Francisco papers receive about one third
less per inch than do eastern papers of
like standing. The Los Angeles papers
receive much less than the San Francisco
papers, while many of our country dailies
do not receive as much per inch for their
space as do many of the eastern country
weeklies. The patriotic Manufacturers
association of San Francisco are now in
the field to cut even the present existing
low rates. Again, the m ethods adopted
BY the association would lead one to sup
pose that they apply the same skinf1int
methods in their factories as in their en-
beavers to dispose of the product of the
factory. Such methods can only result
in the production of inferior goods, and
if such be the case 1t is not to be won
dered at that we continue to pin our faith
to and pay our dollars for eastern goods.
This does not apply to all home pro-
ducers, for we have some very bright,
enterprising manufacturers, and who for
the most part can be designated by G lane
ing over the advertising columns OF the
daily papers.
There is still another phase to this
home industry affair. Should we heed
the admonitlons of the patriotic associa-
ton and purchase only goods of home
manufacture, that practically places a
boycott on eastern goods. Suppose the
eastern people resent this and retaliatt
by boycotting our pro ducts, where would
we then land? The eastern people have
the same right to say that they won
buy any of our oranges, lemons, wines
dried fruits or honey, and that theli
winter vacations should be spent il
Elorida rather than in California az w,
have to say that we do not want any
thing from eastern factories. Inc above
are only few suggestions ana are re-
spectfully referred to the Manufacturers
association of San Francisco.
