time, money, and labor" etc. Now
was not that discovery? It is almost
equal to a Rooseveltian platitude.
Prior to this noted gathering of the
wise manufacturers at Harrisburg.
Pa, on July 80, 1927, everybody had
supposed that to save time, and
money especially, one should always
buy as far from home as possible
and pay the freight. Price, of course,
being of no moment. One curious
phase of the manufacturers argu-
ment. however, was that it was a
waste of money to buy goods from
anybody but themselves because the
goods that might be bought else
where cost less money. Marvellous!
Marvelous Such profundity.
