There is, however, no guarantee
that three women and three men VIII

there is no contest within the parry

In the event that six male caadi-
dates should be run and that there
should be three women, candidates in

the highest number OF votes would be
declared elected This might be six

Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-09-26

Belber travelling goods have been steadily
advertised in THE SATURDAY EVENING Posi-
since 1916
Before the advertising was begun the Belber
Trunk and Bag Company had no clear and thor
ough knowledge of the merchants who were
selling it's trunks and bags to the consumers.
A large part of it's product was sold under the
special labels of jobbers and retailers.
In the second year of advertising such prog
ress had been made by an energetic sales de-
partment in establishing strong retail connec-
tions that it was possible to publish Gin THE
SATURDAY EVENING POsr of December 8, 1917
a double-page advertisement in which we're
listed the names of dealers selling Belber
luggage.
Six years of steady advertising, closely
related to the work of the sales force, has ac-
complshed the following results, as described
by Leon c. Sunstein, Vice President of the
Belber Company:
1T has raised materially the standard of the
luggage carried by the American public There
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-09-26
Consistent advertising has increased the
Belber business 500 per cent in six years

has been created a much keener appreciation of
fine luggage than existed five or six years ago.
1T has stimulated the activity of the dealers.
The department stores we'll as the luggage
shops have reacted to the increased interest on
the part of the public This has resulted in an
improved and more profitable business.
For our own institution it has won preemi-
nence in the luggage field and definitely estab-
lished for Belber travelling goods reputation
for quality with the dealer and the consumer
This has helped greatlyto secure desirable distr-
button. 1t has gone still further and secured for
us a splendid dealer cooperation.
"Our annual sales volume has increased ap-
proximately 5000 during this period. Even dur
ing the present year, when there has been some
complaint regarding dull business our factories
have been kept busy With the largest produc-
ton in our history, the supply has been con-
slderably behind the demand ever since the
beginning of the year."
And today 90fo of their product is sold under
their own label.
