Aids Competition

Thus the jobber helps the small re
taller to maintain a full stock for
your, the PUBLIC'S-conuenience.
He helps many smaller retailers
stay in business, by holding these
stocks subject to their call, without
any BIG Investment of their own.
Thus they may compete with larger
stores, where otherwise it would be
difficult.
And in competition, thus encour-
aged, there Is the direct tendency
toward fair, rather than higher
prices.
The jobber further encourages
smaller retailers, in matters of cred
its, etc, which might not be extended
direct'by the factory because of their
lack of intimate knowledge of the
men and conditions with which they
are dealing.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1921-03-14
He Does These Things

The jobber assemblies from various
distant manufacturers stocks of their
goods, and holds these stocks at the
instant disposal of retailers in his i'm
mediate vicinity.
First of all, the jobber contracts
with the manufacturer, thereby as
surfing the manufacturer an outlet
for large quantities Of his goods
and permitting the manufacturer to
shape his manufacturing program
economically.
The jobber then assemblies these
stocks at the convenience of retailers
in his territory, holding them in re
serve for the retailers needs.

Maybe You're a Jobber

To begin with, anybody who works
for a jobber, or helps a jobber do his
work, is also a jobber, and is in the
jobbing business.
There must be a good many thou
sand of fine men and women en-
ployed by the jobbers of the United
States.
Each of these men and women,
executives, clerks, statesmen, etc, be-
Iieve the jobber is a useful cog in the
business machine. THEY don't want
the jobber eliminated.
The jobber buys large stocks of
goods from the manufacturer. The
manufacture would suffer if the job
Der were eliminated. Therefore, so
would everybody who works FOR the
MANUFACTURERS.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1921-03-14
Knows "Who Is Who 4"

The jobber's service is a necessary
service. It must be performed-and
must be paid for!
The same is true of the manufac-
turer-the retailer-and eUery one of
us. Each must be paid the cost of
what we sell-plus a reasonable
profit.
And before ,v-e talk of "eliminat-
ing the job ar or any n else, let's
first see GCho le is and 1Chat he does.
. Maybe he is YOU, after all-or
your neighbor.
And that makes a difference.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1921-03-14
Is This Useful?

SO, after all, it appears that the job
Der serves q useful purpose in the ma
tons distributing system-that he is
a needed and necessary distributing
point-that he saves time and money
for the retailer-that the service he
renders encourages competition and
lower prices-and that thousands of
good American citizens draw their
pay from or through jobbers.
And maybe you are one of them.

Interests interviewer

Our interests are all c%uriously in
~tergU0Uen in the business of living.
Each depends upon the other for HIS
welfare.
If you are doing your best-giving
good value and service for a fair
profit, just assume that the other fell
Iow is, also-and go to it!
You buy from him-and he'll buy
from y0ui
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1921-03-14
Is the Jobber Useful?

Now, VIVA does a jobber do?
Is it a useful service-and does it
increase, or lower, the cost Of mer-
chandise?
The jobber stands between the
manufacturer and the retailer, rem
dering a service to both.
And in serving them, he serves
yO1t.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1921-03-14

The small retailer may not be fnan-
cially able to carry his own reserve.
With the jobber at his back, he
doesn't need to. Additional stock
can be had from the jobber at once.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1921-03-14
And the Railroad Men!

The jobber has the manufacturers
stocks shipped to his warehouses by
the railroads and pays the railroads
for their services. The RAILROADS
would miss the jobber-and, there
fore, SO would all railroad employees.
The jobber does a great deal Of
carting. The builders of trucks and
wagons-the drivers and others who
operate them, would miss the jobber.
The jobber buys or leases real es-
tate-and erects or leases ware
houses. Some one would miss the
money that goes into THESE.
And, if the jobber were eliminated,
and all Of the people employed by or
through the jobber were deprived of
their income possibly it would affect
YOU, Maybe you sell something to
SOME Of these folks!

would come DOWN!
Well, let's see about it. Let's see
just how useless" he is.
Let's see how much we could cut off
of prices if we were to get rid of the
jobber.

AS Sure as Sunrise

And that's what we need-BUY-
ING!
Prices acere HIGH-but they are
now lower.
If they seem reasonable and fair, as
they do, let's start the CIRCLE of
Buying which is the Circle of Pros
perity.

will swing around the Circle and
