about through an entirely different set
OF circumstances. The trusts absorb:
the small dealers and manufacturers,in
order to do away with competition,.
and then raise the prices Of their COM

ply house uses up the small dealer
because he cannot meet its prices. bntl
here is the difference between it and

- About 70 years ago Mr.. T. NJ Rob-
erts had retail hardware store in MINI
neapolis. It was q very good store of
its kind, too, but it only occupied 9
single room and basement with about q
25-foot front and something like 100
foot depth. Mr.. Roberts saw that in,
some lines of Enthusiastically stoves
and ranges country and village people
were obliged by their local dealers to
pay too high price for their goods, SO
he began to advertise stoves and ranges
through the country at city prices.
Naturally he began to sell them. He
extended his advertising to other lines
of hardware and began making un-
heard of prices. 1t was some time be.
fore he began to add other goods than
hardware to his stock, and when he did
soft was done very conservatively. He
wanted to be perfectly sure OF his
ground before advancing s
One cardinal principle of this house
from the very beginning was to share
every bargain it obtained with its GUS
TONERS. II it had, for instance, large
quantity Of steel nails on hand and the
price advanced, it did not follow the
market. It's selling price had been
fixed to return fair profit on the pur-
chase price of the nails, and there the
price staid until the stock was ex-
hausted. s.
This season when interested parties
attempted to get up binding Irvine
scare and hold prices mp around II

told its customers 10 wait before placing
their orders. And those who did so

This is merely mentioned to show one
of the many services this house has

& This house has had far from smooth
sailing. Retailers associations have
repeatedly attempted to cripple It by
sboycotting manufacturers that are.
known to cell it goods, but fortunately
for the purchasing public, money talks
louder than resolution, and by .pur-
chasing in enormous quantities, paying
cash on delivery. there has never been
q time when all goods needed were not
in hand. When firm wants 10 or 10.
carloads Of stoves, q couple Of million
pounds of sugar, one or two hundred.

thing else in a like propo rtion, and goes

are such that goods must go from the
manufacturer to the consumer at the
minimum Of expense. Under the old
system the manufacturer sold the job
bers, through their travelling men, at
from 30 to 80 days time. The manu-
facturers had to make profit to cover
cost of production, selling and bad &C.
counts. The jobber, on receipt OF the
goods, would send his men to the re-
taller, and he must sell his goods high
enough to get profit on the cost, plus
freight, bad accounts and selling; and
finally the retailer has to mark his
goods sufficiently high to cover practi.
cally the same items. The supply
house changed all this. They buy from
the manufacturers for cash, and sell
at once to the consumer for cash.
The item Of loss from bad accounts
is eliminated, the cost Of selling
largely reduced, and the public
gets the benefit at tho saving. 1t man.
