PAY FOR HONEST SERVICE.
Retail Merchants Right to Protection
From Unfair Competition.

Speaking recently before a state con-
vention of retail merchants. a repre-
sentative of a firm manufacturing u
widely advertised food product said:
IF cooperation is TO be loyal and
sincere sort we must recognize the
right Of every one in the chain of dis
tribution to an honest profit. Not even
the consumer has any right to object
to the honest profits Of the merchant
who gives him honest service. No one
who will carefully study the relation
of profits TO service can escape the con-
viction that public economy is best
served by the policy of live and let
live
The argument of the mail order
house, chain store and department
store that elimination Of the middle
man would be economical TO the con-
sumer is absolutely false. Such insti
tutions, taken broadly. are enemies
rather than friends OF the consumer
just as they are of the retailer. If
they hold as rigidly to strict truth and
fairness as the retail grocer does they
would die an early death.
Nothing has contributed to the ex-
istence Of these irregular mongrel
classes 80 much as favoritism, but
even this Is slowly getting a hold on
thinking retailers. Quantity prices
have made possible every one Of the
unfair practices OF the trade. II you
can buy ten cases more cheaply than
one 1t is fair to sell 100 cases more
cheaply than ten and a carload at a
lower price still. But such practices
inevitably make 1t possible for the big
buyer to own goods more cheaply than
his small competitor. II mail order
houses paid the same price for their
goods that the small merchant does
they wouldn't last a year. because the
small merchant Is the consumers
friend and with square deal will
beat any catalogue house out Of exist
ence IN his town In the game Of COM
petition"
