SUBSTITUTION.


The imitatOr is like the counterfeiter-
He enters the field Of business with a
cheaper. lower grade article OF merchan-
disc, made as substitute Tor the genu-
inc, and generally sold at 8 cheaper
price, arguing, as usual, that it is Just
IS good" The dealer is persuaded 10
handle IL on glowing promises OF enor-
nous DrOftS-much larger than the reg
ular legitimate profit which is made on
the genuine article the 1mIrauor sue
ceeds in playing upon mans natural
avarice, places his goods on sale with
the dealer, and instructS him to take
advantage Of the public by substituting
the false article for the genuine at every
opportunity. You can be pretty sure
that whenever you ask for g well-lmown
product and the dealer tells you he has
something else that's Just as good, OF
even better, the dealer is going TO make
a greater profit on that article than the
one you call for, and in nine cases out
Of ten you VIII get a much inferior
article.
Some buyers are easily imposed upon
and this encourages the 'get-rich-quiclz'
schemers to increase their substitutions.
This also discourages the legitimate
manufacturer who is putting out arti-
cleS OF merchandise that represent hon
est value to the consumer. Where a
man has devoted years of his life in per
1ecting an article that he knows cannot
be eXcelled in quality: where he has
spent thousands Of dollars in advertis-
ing his goods and where these goods
for a long time, great injury results bv
permitting substitution to rob him of
his market and at the same time rob
the consumer by selling him a doubtful
article at practically the same price
There is no law through which such
evil practices can be stopped. The sole
remedy is for the legitimate manufac-
turers to ask the public direct not to
patronize dealers who try to substitute
q different brand Of goods for the kind
wanted

American position. which might mean
greater freedom for Germany in i'm.

middling cotton at Bremen ware

This makes the price about 20 cents

Steamship agents yesterday morn
ing, commenting on the above notih-
cation. stated that cotton Is being
landed in Germany at less than wha:
II cost last year in America. Cotton
sells now at cents per pound. About
cents a pound is the exorbitant rate
being charged for transportation to
Germany. This leaves a profit Of .
cents a pound or s45 a bale for the
shipper.
1t is alleged also that shippers av-
erage from s. 70 s15 per bale on ship
ments to other countries. and when
it is considered that 80 cents average
profit is considered good. it is plain
that the shipper and the steamship
companies are getting millions Of dol
