time you had not built up your machinery of distribution
The sjobbers should have your soap in their
house ready let the dealer have stock before the
went to the dealer and asked for your brand In
way this system might involve that the demand for your
goods would of ITSELF force the dealer carry your goods
to satisfy the In turn this would force the
obber to carry your goods to accommodate the dealer
There several ways by which your might create
this demand. For instance, you might adopt
campaign which would call for full pages in national
weekes, large space in general magazines exens
i've of street cards. Then you might gather your
sales organization and say:
We will start to manufacture 'Suchan Such soap
next month We will advertise it in this way. Most
people will want good soap at SO low price We will
tell the public about it in this strong way So you 60
out and stock the Dealers
The salesman goes out. He has copies of the pro-
posed ads big sheet and he tells the dealer something
like this:
'Heres a new soap You get it for 31sc a~eake and
sell it for DC. That makes good profit for you More
you going to sell great deal of it. because look
at the advertising going do. lot of people
will in and ask for the soap Better take couple

The dealer may order a few gross. Then the sales
goes around and the other dealers At the end
of week he may have about so gross his order book
Then he goes to the obber in that particular section and
tells him what he has DONE The jobber offers to take
the orders for those local dealers He also orders
additional 20 gross the expectation that the dealers
will want more as the advertising begins to pull
the soap off their shelves.
Such a system of distribution in advance of demand
was in vogue years ago. But unfortunately per
haps fortunately, good many of those promised ava
lanches of demand The dealer who put the
goods in his store found that the advertising would

The statement that young taro was
often used in the making of poi we
found to be absolutely incorrect" he
said today "The poi manufacturers
invariably stated that young taro made
poor poi. and that it did not pay the
taro raiser to sell his taro before it
had reached its proper growth. In fact
II was impossible for US to procure
samples of young taro at the factories.
I'VE must also conclude as result
of our Investigations that there is not
a material difference as to moisture

an extremely low grade of poi. The
explanation usually given was that
this soft taro was due to too much

flooded to eliminate the necessity of

pressions in the field from which the
water cannot drain.
"In either case this soft or punk
