away their working clothes and left

Fairchild read it with morbidity.
Trouble seemed to have become more
than occasional, and further than that,
it appeared to descend upon him ut

was little that he could say. Again

he slit the waxed paper Of the gelat-

The great buyers strike" Of 1920-21 q never
to be forgotten event in the economic history
of this country proved a point which must
henceforth be recognized as basic and neon
trovertible @L".. esrs"2t@-@
It was discovered by merchants and job

merchandise, that it was the trademarked
and adequately advertised brand Of goods
that got the lions share of the business there

safes fell on the unbranded and unadvertised
goods. ~. !. ~ @sz$s 4. a&#.@. Lille 4
This was great Showdown" for advertis-
ing. It's position as factor in economic life
was ont trial. Had it really done what it had
always been claimed for it? Had it created
consumer preference that would hold against
keen competition Of sacrifice price on UNI
marked goods? p
The verdict of the buying public was UNI
qualified. It was not a straw vote to deter
mine popularity. It was the final test Of will
lingness to buy. The ballots were dollars. And
the preponderant majority voted with their
dollars that they preferred to keep right on
buying advertised goods.
With the whole country on q reduced
schedule Of production and sales, the factor

anything like normal quantities, were in var !

This will mean, then, that more and more
