SECONDS" OR "oF7o GOODS.

Manufacturing Concerns.

Manufacturers who gut out their
goods under brands are watchful MS to
keeping their output up TO the stand.
ara, Big concerns whose goods are
widely advertised and are known for
their eXcellency will not allow deluc.
tive articles to 80 from their factories.
Everything is inspected, and 1t must
be perfect before the brand is allowed
TO be marked upon 1t.
In the large cutlery factories, the
silyerware manufacturing plants, the
collar and shirt factories, and the like,
regardless of what care is exercised.
defects will be found in a certain per
centage OF the work turned out. In
cutlery the temper OF a blade may be
uneven; the handle may be married,
the lining may be imperfect, and all
such defects cause the knife to be
discarded, that is. thrown out and not
marked with the brand, II the maker
has a reputation to maintain. In shirt

in their making. Thus manufacturers
welcome a means OF playing even"
of disposing of this damaged stock so
as to prevent loss.
In many cases the damaged goods
are sold to ''job.lot' men who auction
them of to small jobbers. But the
majority of these goods are sold By
contract to large houses located in the
big cities, and 1t may be said that
fully so per cent. of the goods that
these houses handle are either of tho

A number OF concerns have con.
tracts with these houses for all the

wrapped up in such a way as to cover
their defects. The concern buys them
for about 30 to 40 per cent below
prices at which perfect goods can be
had In the markets. Thus II can be
seen how some concerns can make low
prices on goods that look about as
well as regular dealers carry, but
which are far Inferior.
