to the consumer.
Investigation on my part de-
veloped the fact that the manufac-
turers in question refuse to place
their name and trademark on a
suit until it has been carefully in
spected and found to come up to
standard in every way. Suits
containing faulty material or work
manship are called seconds" and
sold unbranded at reduced prices.
The makers have invested too
much money in the good will of
their name to permit its associa-
ton with faulty or under standard
products.
This incident is illustrative of
existing manufacturing and mer-
chandising methods, and condi-
tions. that are of vital importance
to YOU, and every other consumer.
There are two distinct classes
Of merchandise on the market:
Standard goods of known quality,
backed by reputable markers, and
goods of unknown or doubtful
quality and origin. 1t should not
be difficult matter to Judge which
class offers you greatest advantage.

Community Cooperation

A merchant in one of our small.
er town made the statement to me
not long ago that the reason he re
fused to carry standard brands OF
clothing and shoes was that this
class of goods cost both the retail
er and the customer more than the
unadvertise sort because of the
money spent by manufacturers in
advertising.
To prove this contention he ex-
hibited suit, of the non-standard
variety. containing his private
brand. with this argument.
This suit was made by one of
the best known manufactures of
standard clothes in this country.
1t retails under the established
trademark for $500, the same
price 1 ask for it. 1 buy these
clothes. without the makers name
