proved to be untrue at that time by
an absolute declaration of our fixed
wholesale policy. 1t is possible that
this report will be revived when we
begin our general advertising. We
will only repeat here that the National
CdSEet Company never has had and
has not now any intention of entering
the retail field.
The strongest guarantee of this will
be our advertising itself. Every page
of it will point directly to the under
taker who handles our goods. Every
advertisement will state that National
Baskets can be bought only of under
takers. No results of the kind of adj
Vertising we are going to do can come
to us that do not come first through
you, or another undertaken who fur
nishes the goods we advertise.
In short every line of the advertis-
ing we propose to do will be devoted
to building up public confidence and
preference toward those funeral direc-
tors, everywhere, who cooperate with
us.
This letter is preliminary an
nouncement to you of our advertising
plans, and makes clear to you our
purpose in advertising.
1t will be to your vital business in
terest to watch for the coming issue
of our publication, "The National
Monthly" which will be mailed to you
January goth. In this number will
be printed for you to read detailed
information regarding our coming ad-
vertising, and Just hOl0 you can nut
yourself IN position to benefit most
greatly from it,

You cannot afford to overlook one
