After the Showdown

The great buyers strike" of 1920
21, a never-to-be-f forgotten event
in the economic history of this
country, proved a point which
must henceforth be recognized as
basic and incontrovertible.
1t was discovered by merchants
and cjobbers everywhere, in practi-
cally every line of merchandise,
that it was the trademarked and
adequately advertised brands of
goods that got the lions share OF
the business there was to get,
while the preponderant loss of
sales fell on the unbranded and un-
advertised goods.
This was great Showdown"
for Advertising. It's position as a
factor in economic life was on
trial. Had it really done what had
always been claimed for it? Had
it created consumer preference
that would hold against the keen
competition of a sacrifice price on
unmarked goods?
The verdict of the buying public
was unqualified. 1t was not a
straw vote to determine popular
ity. 1t 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 a re-
duced schedule of production and
sales, the factories that were able
to keep on producing, in anything
like normal quantities, were in
variably those making trademark
ed and nationally advertised
goods.

n All over the country today man.
ufacturers, jobbers, and merchants
are giving serious consideration to
this important and conspicuously
demonstrated fact: the public pre-
fer to buy nationally advertised
brands of merchandise. And pub
lie demand is the last word in all
economic situations. No one can
go against it and long endure.
This will mean, then, that more
and more manufacturers will seek
out ways to make their products
worthy of a distinctive trademark
and a sustained plan of advertis-
ing. 1t will mean that merchants
will more and more give prefer
ence in their stocks to advertised
brands. 1t will mean that the job
berS will more and more arrange
to supply the merchant with ad-
vertised brands.
But new advertisers, manufac-
turers who are finally convinced
that their future lies in the direc-
ton of an advertised product, will
discover that the magic power of
advertising cannot be applied
overnight. 1t may require sus-
tanned effort to attain a position
of equality with competitors who
have been advertising for many
years. This will be an unwelcome
discovery. But it will be found to
be the truth, and will be their only
hope of gaining a substantial foot
hold in what, from now on, must
continue to be a more keenly COM
petitive market than we have
known for a generation.

One Favored ~ Per Cent.
The convention adopted motion
that the demands be considered seria-
tim. The demand for a two-year con-
tract provoked no discussion. but that
providing for increased wages of 20
per cent took up much time OF the
convention. One delegate wanted to
make the increase "a per cent and
pledged the union not to dcviate from
1t. 1t was not favored.
George +. Evans. OF OIyphant. Pa,
made long speech In support OF the
minimum wage of So day for con-
tract. consideration and company
miners; OF $3.50 day for contract,
consideration and company laborers.
and not less than $3.50 day for all
other classes of labor. His proposal
was finally ruled out of order because
the convention had already adopted
the 20 per cent proposal and 1t would
also conflict with other demands in
the list presented to the convention.
The 20 per cent demand did not
come as n surprise to the delegates,
as 1t had been said by leaders that
the anthracite miners favored such
