FACTORY COST EXPERT SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MERCHANDISING
Generally Little Understood by Average PesOnfae Theories Advanced and
Exploited by Certain Classes Of Merchants

would be to put before them plain
and convincing manner the basic and
generally little understood principals
of merchandising, the object in view
being to make clear the fact that it
costs approximately the same to mar
ket an article by any Of the different
methods OF modern merchandising
whether from the shelves Of the home
, merchant or from the highly centralized
catalog houses Of the large cities.
This mans experience had fitted
him to handle the subject in an ex-
ceptionally intelligent manner, and the
subsequent success Of the undertaking
proved the soundness Of his theories.
In the literature sent out by the club,
he begins with the manufacture of an
article and follows it step by step to
the hands OF the ultimate customer
through both the mail-order and regu-
lar channels OF trade.
In proving the fact that the large
catalog concerns have no advantage
over other merchants in buying theil
goods he says: THE modern factory,
manufacturing staple products, enjoys
keener competition, if possible, than
any other line Of business. II must
sell its products to the retailer at a
price that will return the smallest profit
possible that will permit reasonable
return on the money investment.
Should factory put price on its pro-
duct that would return to its stock
holders more than a fair rate OF interest,
either its competitor would undersell it,
or new capital, OF which there is Away:
an abundance seeking investment.
would enter the field and eventually
/
bring the price Of the article down tc
the point that would return to the
stockholders a rate OF interest satisfac
tors to investors in such securities. II
dwelling on this, the purpose is to show
that under the present industrial con
ditions the selling price of manu-
featured article is determined solely BY
its cost OF production.
Every modern factory now has
cost system which shows to the frac
ton of cent the cost Of their produc
when it leaves the shipping room. 1
must be sold at certain figure to pay

In a small city Of western Kansas,
the incoming food of catalogues and
the outgoing food Of money orders
had reached such proportions that the
merchants became convinced that
their commercial death was fast APP
preaching; they saw their city dwin-
ding in population and degenerating
in appearance; they saw the young
men OF the town daily striking out for
the larger cities; and they felt that
the spirit Of local pride was broken and
that the vital bonds OF community wei
fare were being slowly dissolved by the
conoding acids Of ignorance and greed.
Very fortunately, however, for the
future welfare of that little town it con-
tanned one man who still retained a
spark OF hope in his heart. He Or
ganized the business interests OF the
city into a Community Welfare Club
for the purpose Of tanning the dying
embers OF home patriotism into living
fame. The club was out for every
thing that promised to help the COM
munity but they could think of nothing
that would help so much as for the old
town to get back some Of the business
it had lost to the mail-order houses.
After thoroughly canvassing the
situation they become convinced that,
as a matter Of dollars and cents the
mail-order houses could not supply the
community with its necessities and
luxuries more cheaply, in the long run,
than could their local merchants. Con-
sequently they determined to place the
matter in the hands of specialist, q
man who could analyze price and
clearly demonstrate the true value:
upon which it was based; man who
could meet the consumer on his own
ground and shoot facts at him from the
shoulder without giving offense.
The man selected for this work had
for many years been factory cost ex-
pert, and after giving the matter a great
deal of thoughtful consideration, he
concluded that the most effective way
to convince the consumer of the wis
dom of patronizing home merchants
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-10-02

actually losing money by not trading
with the home merchants.
In his figures he left nothing out OF
his calcuIations-not a postage stamp
or an express toll escaped his eye.
He was up on brands and qualities OF
merchandise. He took samples OF
foodstuffs from the local store and
made side-by-side comparisons of them
in the farm kitchen with the foods
bought from the mail concern.
The club was made social center
for the entire community, especially
for the farmers and their families.
Gradually a testing laboratory OF a
crude sort was built up in the club,
and here many an argument as to
quality OF goods was settled. The
consumer and the storekeeper were
both taught TO be judges of quality in
almost all lines OF goods.
Today the mail-order trade is stead
lily declining, business and residence
real estate in the city is slowly advanc-
ing in price; the old town looks good
to the growing young folks and they
are not so eager as were some OF their
immediate predecessors to shake the
dust OF the town from their feet; and
the entire civic life of the community
has experienced a decided change for
the better.

a certain percentage of profit. 1t costs
no more per case to manufacture the
ten cases for little John Smith than 1t
does per case the thousand for the
larger buyer, and if both offer the same
terms Of payment they will be charged
approximately the same price. The
little John Smiths scattered over the
country are the takers Of the bulk OF
the manufactured products OF the
country and they are the ones the
manufacturer has in mind when he puts
the lowest possible price on his pro-
duct. If in quoting John Smith his
regular price--a price kept down by
keen competition, he is making only a
minimum profit, how can he by any
possibility quote lower one without
seriously affecting his dividends3 You
know dividends are what factories are
run to make.
Many catalog houses lay great
stress on their ability to sell an article
at low price because they own their
own factory Is there any good
reason TO believe that their factory can
manufacture an article cheaper than
any other factory simply because they
own it? Catalog houses owning fac
tories, and factories using the tempt
ing phrase, We sell direct to the con-
sumer,7 in reality have no advantage
over the independent retailer, insofar
as price is concerned, because their
product, when it leaves the manufac-
turing department, must be charged
to the selling department at exactly the
same price it would be charged to an
independent retailer, were they them
selves not in the retail business. So
you see that the great stress is laid on
the factory-owning feature by the larger
catalogue houses is pure, plain, un-
adulterated buncombe with a capital
B."
In explaining how such houses are
able to occasionally quote low prices
on standard goods Of well known makes
he has to say: "Catalog houses as
we'll as other merchants, often have
opportunities to purchase at reduced
prices, what is known to the trade
as lob lots A factory may dis
continue the manufacture OF a GER
tain style, and having large stock oil
that particular pattern on hand, Will
offer the entire lot at cost, or even
less. While OF course such merchan-
disc is of standard quality, it naturally
must have lost Its deslraolllty III the
eyes of the critical consumer, other
wise there would be no reason for dis
continuing the manufacture OF it.
With this exception, and the &C.
casional opportunity they have oil pur-
chasing bankrupt factory stocks, the
arguments and facts as presented are
incontIovertible."
In addition to gathering the data
contained in the literature>and clrcu-
lating it, this man also went out
amongst the farmers as home
trade" missionary. Though ne was
strong for sentiment, he always went
straight to the point Of the farmers
pocketbook, and stood ready to show
the customer Of the mail-order house
