Same Price World Over.

These facts are chiefly responsible
for the generally prevailing idea that
the home merchants do not sell goods
as cheaply as the mall order house.
They do sell the same quality of goods
that the mall order house sells az
cheaply as the mall order house sells
1t but they cannot sell the standard.
guaranteed products Of responsible
manufacturers at the same price at
which the mail order house sells its
nameless. unbranded merchandise.
Standard goods bearing registered
trademark sell for the same price the
world over and the manufacturers
guarantee stands back fvf them when
they are sold In the smallest village
In the country just the same as when
they are sold In the stores Of the larg-
est cities.
This Is what the rational advertis-
Ing Of the manufacturers has done
for the consumers Of the country. 1t
has enabled them to go into their home
stores and buy merchandise which they
know from past experience or from
the reputation and guarantee of the
manufacturer will give them satisfac-
tion. They are not buying bllndly
and hopefully when they buy from the
merchants in their home towns. They
are buying with the knowledge that
they are getting their moneys worth.
When they buy advertised brands they
are getting double protection, that
which is afforded by the responsibility
of the retail merchant and that which
Is given by the reputation and guar
nntee of the manufactures. When they
buy the unknown brands Of goods
that are offered by the mail order
houses they are getting neither kind
of protection.

HIS REPUTATION AT STAKE
Man Who Buys Standard Brands
From Local Merchants Knows

Copyright, 1911. Western Newspaper UnionD
Time was when advertising did not
occupy the place In the world of trade
that ii does today. It has not been
50 very many years ago TINT the peo-
pie were suspicious of advertising,
They were Inclined to believe that the
merchant was trying to fool them
with his advertising, that he exag-
he advertised and took that method
of trying to get them to buy goods
that he could not sell by the old estab-
lished methods of merchandising.
Those days are gone. The public
now realizes that ii Is the greatest
beneficiary of advertising.
Advertising has done more In de
cade to establish certain standards IN
merchandise than could have been ac.
cOmplished in hundred years by any
few years ago merely made and sold
clothes now makes and sells the Blank
brand of clothes. The man who for
merly just made hats now makes
Blanks hats. And SO II Is with every
thing that one buys today. The manu.
facturer, by his advertising, has built
up his business around trade name
aud If he Is to continue In business
he must protect that trade name by
maintaining such high standard OF
quality that people. when they buy his
products will know just what they are
getting. The consumer, when he goes
into store today, does not buy mer
chandlse blindly, with the HOPE that
1t will prove to be worth the money
lie buys standard goods that bear the
trade mark of the manufacturer ant
that are backed by the reputation not
only of the merchant who sells then
but the manufactures who makes them
This has been brought about by ad

No Reputation to Protect.

All this applies to the retail mer-
chants as class but 1t does not ap
ply to the mail order business. The
man or woman who buys goods from
a catalogue house Is not protected by
the manufacturer of the goods for the
reason that most manufacturers who
sell goods to the mail order houses
do not place their names upon the
goods and therefore have no reputa.
ton to protect.
The great majority of articles listed
and illustrated IN the mail order cata.
logues are included In what Is known
among manufacturers as stencil
stuff. These articles bear the name of
the mail order house which sells them
Instead Of that Of the manufacturer
who makes them. II can readily be
understood that any manufacturing
concern which turns out goods that
do not bear It's name or trademark Is
likely to be very unreliable institus
ton. 1t Is not building up any repu-
tation on the quality of Its goods for
Its products have nothing to dlstin-
guish them from the products Of any
other concern. With no reputation to
sustain and no chance Of creating a
general demand for Its goods the only
concern of manufacturing institu-
ton of this kind Is to make stuff as
cheaply as possible In order to obtain
the largest possible profit on Its prod

LONDON, Nov 25.-France and Belgium will need 60,000 tractors i'm mediately after the war. English manufacturers can now turn out offly 1000 tractors a year and France is estimated to have a capacity of from 2,000 to 5000 Germany will be able to manufacture approximately 5,O0C per annum. Estimated from this that American factories will have tC supply over 50,000 a year to Europe alone from period fo several years after the war. In addition, American wants vii have to be supplied, as this country is bare of animal trac tive power. Over 100000 horses and 500000 mules have been export ed to Europe from United States and Canada since the beginning of the war.
