VALUE OF A NAM 6.
Farm and Ranch.)

(Farm and Ranch.)
A merchant in one OF our smaller
towns made the statement to me not
long ago that the reason he refused to
carry standard brands of clothing and
shoes was that this class Of goods costs
both the retailer and the customer
more than the unadyertised sort-be-
cause of the money spent by manufac-
turers in advertising.
To prove this contention he exhibit
ed a suit, of the non-standard variety,
containing his private brand, with this
argument.
This suit was made by one Of the
| best known manufacturers of standard
clothes in this country. 1t retails un-
der the established trademark for $25,
the same price ask for it. buy these
clothes, without the, makers name in
them, for SIS per suit, whereas if de-
manded the makers name | must pay
!
1880. In other words must either
lose $3.50 profit on each sale, which
amount goes into a fund to pay for the
makers advertising, or else raise the
price to the consumer"
Investigation on my part developed
the fact that the manufacturers in
question refuse to place their name
and trademark on a suit until it has
been carefully inspected and found to
come up to standard in every way
Suits containing faulty material OF
workmanship are called Seconds" AND
sold unbranded at reduced prices. The
makers have invested too much money
in the good will of their name tc
permit it's association with faulty OF
UNDERSTANDABLE products.
This incident is illustrative Of exist
ing manufacturing and merchandising
methods, and conditions, that are o.
vital Importance to you, and ever!
lCther consumer.
There are two distinct classes OF
merchandise on the market: STANDARD
goods of known quality, backed b!
Reputable makers, and goods of un
known or doubtful quality and origin
It should not be difficult matter Il
Judge which class offers you creates
advantage.

THE BEST OF ALL.

There are many kinds Of letters
That come to us by mail,
From those who want to buy,
Others offer things for sale;
But of all the letters
That come from either sex,
The letters that we most admire
Are the ones inclosing checks.
There are letters from our friends,
The friends we used to know,
Other letters say: Remit
From the friends we owe;
Some of them remind US
And cause us to reflect,
But the letter that brings us joy
Is the one that's got the check.
It's always short and simple;
Enclosed you will please find;
A delightful declaration,
With joy it fills the mind;
We adore the one that wrote it,
Could hug him round the neck;
We are always glad to see
The letter with a check.
Exchange.
