lime was when advertising did not
occupy the place in the world of trade
that it does today. It has not been
SO very many years ago that the peo.
pie were suspicious of advertising.
They were inclined to believe that the
merchant was trying to 'fooI' them
with his advertising, that he exag.
gerated the value of the merchandise
he advertised and took that method
OF trying to get them to buy goods
that he could not sell by the old estab.
nShed methods of merchandising.
Those days are gone. The public
now realizes that it is the greatest
beneficiary Of advertising.
Advertising has done more in a de.
cade to establish certain standards in
merchandise than could have been &C.
cOmpllShed in hundred years by any
other agency. The manufacturer who
a 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 it is with every.
thing that one buys today. The manu-.
facturer, by his advertising, has built
up his business around a trade name
and if he is to continue in business
he must protect that trade name By
maintaining such a high standard OF
quality that people, when they buy his
products will know just what they are
getting. The consumer, when he goes
into a store today, does not buy mer.
chandise blindly, with the HOPE thai
it will prove to be worth the money

reason UnaC most manufacturers VINO
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 then
instead of that of the manufacturer
who makes them. 1t can readily be
understood that any manufacturing
concern which turns out goods thai
do not bear it's name or trademark is
likely to be very unreliable institu.
ton. 1t is not building up any repu.
tatiOn on the quality of it's goods fol
it's products have nothing to distin.
guish them from the products of any
other concern. With no reputation to
sustain and no chance of creating &
general demand for it's goods the only
concern of a manufacturing institu.
ton of this kind is to make stuff as
cheaply as possible in order to obtain
the largest possible profit on it's prod.
ucts.
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 mail order house
They do sell the same quality of goods
that the mail order house sells as
cheaply as the mail order house sells
it 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 a registered
trademark sell for the same price the
world over and the manufacturers
guarantee stands back of 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 national advertis-
ing Of the manufacturers has done
for the consumers of the country. It
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-
ton. They are not buying blindly
and hopefully when they buy from the
merchants in their home towns Thpv
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
antee of the manufacturer. When they
buy the unknown brands of goods
that are offered by the mail order
houses they are getting neither kind
Of protection.
