TRADE MARK" MEANS
MUCH TO CONSUMER

I not wear nor hold it's pleasing appear
ance half SO long.
The service given by the local deal
er is very important part of the
value received in the purchase of all
lines of supplies but is very generally
little appreciated by the prospective
| buyer. This is especially valuable to
the buyer of farm machinery of every
class. Consider the saving in time
and money, as we'll as the convenience
Of having always within reach, with
out any expense whatever, an expert
| ready at all times to remedy any de-
fects that may appear, and always
willing to do everything he can to
help the buyer keep his machinery in
first-class condition and running or
der. On the other hand if farmer
has been tempted by the apparently
low prices quoted, and bought ma
chinery of any kind through cata-
log house, he will generally find upon
receiving it that it is of an obsolete
pattern and one that, even though
found to give reasonable service,
would probably be discarded as re-
suit of the first accident, no matter
how trifing, ON account of the aggra-
waiting delays and kindred troubles
incidental to getting repairs.
This matter of service is perhaps
of more value to the purchaser of
gasoline engines and cream separators
than other lines. He can go to the
implement house and inspect all the
standard makes; see them run, put
them to any number of tests and then
select the one that seems best suited
to his requirements. If at any time
anything goes wrong with it the deal
er can be reached by phone and with
in the day will have a man on the
ground to remedy the trouble. The
mail-order house in Seattle or Chica-
60 can't send man to fix the trouble
every time something gets out of
whack with one of their machines,
and in the course of time the cost of
repairs for such machines would very
probably exceed the difference in first
cost.
Local dealers, in selecting their
lines, always try and get the best, as
their success in getting future bust
ness will depend largely upon the SER
vice and satisfaction given by the
merchandise sold. For this reason
price must be secondary considera-
ton in choosing his stock. Quality
always has been, and always will be,
the cornerstone of commercial sue
cess.

LOCAL DEALERS HANDLE ONLY
MERCHANDISE OF PROVEN
MERIT.
Business Suicide For Them to Carry
the Cheaper but Inferior
Lines.
(By David Powell.)
copyrighted 1914; all rights re-
served.)

A trade mark is copyrighted
mark or label used by manufacturer
to distinguish his goods from those of
other makers. 1t is to signify that he
has used every effort to make his pro-
duct superior to similar products on
the market. That he believes he has
done SO, is evidenced by the guarantee
he gives that all articles so labeled
are warranted to give satisfaction.
All manufacturers of trade mark
goods authorize the dealers selling
them to invariably refund the full
purchase price of any article that
proves unsatisfactory to the buyer.
This feature is of real dollars and
cents value to the consumer; because
this refund can always be easily and
quickly secured by the dissatisfied
buyer while he is in the frame Of
mind to demand it at no expense
whatever and very little trouble.
Only very few trade mark goods
are sold by catalog houses, and the
reason for it is very apparent. A
glance through their catalog will
show that such as they do have listed
are priced just as high, transportation
charges being taken into considera-
ton, as in the average up-to-date
small town department store. AS price
/ is invariably their strong selling ar
gument, they have quoted in the cat
alog substitutes of their own which,
on account of inferior quality and
workmanship, they are able to sell
considerably cheaper than either
they, or the local dealer, could sell
the article of standard make. The
success of the mail-order houses of
the country has been built upon the
fundamental principle of selling
cheap goods at cheap prices.
A case in mind that recently came
under the observation of the writer
quite clearly establishes this fact:
Waterloo is a manufacturing town
of some 10000 people situated in
northeastern Iowa. A firm of that
town manufactured popular line Of
cream separators which had quite a
sale throughout Iowa and adjoining
states. A Chicago mail-order house
conceived the idea of handling cream
separators in their business, and ac-
cordingly offered to take the firms
entire output for a year. The terms
were liberal and the offer was accept
ed.
-, The ink on the contract was hardly
dry before the mail-order house sent
an expert to Waterloo to cheaper the
cost of production. He demanded less
expensive material here, and less care
in workmanship there, until the man
ufacturers declared in high wrath
that the house might put out such
cheap and shoddy separators if they
liked, but their name and brand
should never go on them.
This is a fair example of the fac
tory methods employed by catalog
houses. They talk much about cheap
ening production. Well, they do
cheaper it-by using shoddy mater
ials and doing slovenly work. The
result is an inferior class Of goods,
which, even though looking as well
as similar lines Of standard make
which your home merchant sells, will
