altogether fair. although il must be
admitted that the disturbance of pub
lie confidence. of individual consuming
power and credit, and OF established
methods OF commerce. tested by the
expert practice of years, has an unde-
niabie responsibility in the matter.
But the CSatin firm failed because
it was based OH combination OF
wholesale and retail business which
imposed upon ii financial burden
heavier than il could carry. The II.
b. Clann hrm, before enparkirs In
the retail business. was periaps the
largest Wholesale house in the world.
Its customers were independent and
we'll distributed. But when IL en-
barkcd in the retail trade. it stood to
reason that it's independent customers
would resent that enterprise and would
take their business elsewhere.
There followed - result which was
unfortunately only obvious after the

Endorsement made these notes mer-

This is an instance of expansion in
the wrong direction. Given sufficient
financial strength. the idea was all
