How They Are Disposed OF by Big

Manufacturers who put out their

keeping their output up to the stand.
ard. Big concerns whose goods are
widely advertised and are known for
their excellency viii not allow defec-
tive articles to go from their factories
Everything is inspected, and it must
be perfect before the brand is allowed
to be marked upon it.
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 certain per-
centage OF the work turned out. In
cutlery the temper Of a blade may be
uneven; the handle may be marred,
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, If the maker
has a reputation to maintain. In shirt
factories the defective shirts are
placed aside Just the same, and SO It
is with hundreds of manufactured
articles. All these articles are dead
loss to the manufacturer unless they
be remodeled, or disposed Of at a cost
covering the expense os the raw mate
rial aad the time Of employers used
in their making. Thus manufacturers
welcome 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 iobbers. 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 the
damaged class known as seconds" or
prison made or contract goods, cheap
ly turned out in sweat houses.
A number Of concerns have CON
tracts with these houses for all the
"off" goods made. These goods are
wrapped up in such way as to cover
their defects. The concern buys them
for about 80 to 20 per cent. below
prices at which perfect goods can be
had in the markets. Thus It csn 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.

commereIal Travelers lntsrestsd.

Commercial Travellers interested.
There are more than 100000 COM
mercial travellers in the United
States. These nen are trade mis-
sionaries. They are a very necessary
cog in the commercial wheel While
there are some who take the view
that they are not producers. they are
nevertheless important in the system
Of distribution OF that which Is pro
duced. The successful travelling man
is a close student Of human nature
His vocation is such as calls for a
high class OF intelligence, particularly
as to trade conditions and the lines
which he represents. His keen OBJ
servation OF the trend Of affairs has
made him a pronounced home-trader
He realizes that his interest lies in
protecting the business Of the small
city and town. Were trade in mer-
camille lines concentrated in the
large cities. The field for the traveller
would be narrowed. Thus we find
MIN q strong comDatant OF systems
that mean concentration. Circum.
stances have made him as equally IN
terested In protection Of local trade
Of merchants as the merchants them
selves, and he is also interested on
this account In the welfare Of the peo-
pie who are the customers Of ths
merchants. The force and power Of
the great army OF travellers In the
United States is not to be considered
lightly. Their influence Is wide
spread. They win be found quite
willing to work most harmoniously
with the townspeople and the resi-
dents Of rural districts in the matter
Of home protection.
