About RetailerS---the Growing Mass
and the Dwindline Glass

Goods which are well advertised nationally
by the manufacturer are largely sold to the
public before they ever reach the retailer.
Goods which are not advertised by the
producer must be sold by the retailer.
In the one case, the manufacturer has
done great part OF the job; in the other
he has left It all for the dealer to do.
For many articles, national advertising
creates an actual demand, SO that all the
dealer need do is to say, "YOu can buy it
here" In other lines, the advertising
identifies the product in the possible buy
er's mind, arouses his interest in it and es.
tablishes his confidence in the maker, upon
which the dealer can cash in by his own
selling efforts.
But with unadvertised goods, the re.
taller must start from scratch.
Retailers who favor nationally advertised
lines believe in selling what the public
wants. They are growing mass.
Retailers who favor unadvertised lines
believe in selling what they want the pub
lie to buy. They are dwindling class.
The ranks of these latter retailers are
rapidly growing smaller because most of
them are learning that public confidence is
the basis of successful selling; that quick
turnover is shorter and surer road to
profit than long discounts on slow moving,
dust-gathering goods; that even those Gus
toners who appear to swallow their selling
talk on unadvertised merchandise have
discouraging way Of not coming back for
more.

Kiwanis Clubs Make
Rapid Strides

national Kiwanis convention assemn-
led in Detroit at the Statler hotel.
It is recorded in the minutes q this
convention that Kiwanis had grown
to a combined membership Of 7,7S6
and 76 clubs ware. organized.
Growth e ,Kfwanis.
The growth Of Kiwanis in the eignt
wears since its. inception has been
marvellous. The first club was or
ganized at Detroit, Michigan, in jan
nary. 1916. During the following
wear. two more clubs were establish
ed, one at Cleveland and the other
at Pittsburgh. In the second year
thirty-five clubs were established and
in the third year, thirty-fve more
clubs were added to the list, 30 that
on January 4, 1918, there were sew
ntv-Aree clubs. At the time of the
Birmingham convention in 1919,
there were 1873 clubs with about To-
500 members. Two years later, at
tn etime of the Cleveland convention
! in June, 1921, there were 533 clubs
with membership of 47,s70. When
the clubs convened at Toronto in
June, 1922, there were S02 clubs and
6S,1O1 members in the international
organization. Today there are LOTS
clubs in the United States and Can
ada with a totalw membership Of 3d.
O61.'
KiwAnian Ideals.
| The motto, 1--WE Build" clearly in
dicates the fundamental purpose Of
this club. If one were asked to fur
Their define the purpose and spirit Of
Kiwanis, he might answer:
ut is not a religious organization,
but it believes in God.
"It is not sectarian, but it believes
in the. church.
ut is not educational, but it be-
lieves in the school. y
1T is not benevolent, but it be-
lieves in charity.
cit is not fraternal, but it believes
in brotherhood.
at is not political, but it believes
in government"
|
which Kiwanis concerns itself is the
program of activities adopted at the
last international convention. Here
are its five planks.
1. To maintain distinctive quail
ity Of membership and to give in
creased attention to Kiwanis educa
ton and Standardization of clubs.
/ 2. To emphasize and intensity thu
service Of all Kiwanis clubs, in be
half of nder-privileged children.
3. To continue, through Kiwani
! clubs, to promote better relations be-
tween the farmer and the city man.
4. To develop aggressively towar,
Chambers of Commerce and othe,
civic organization, q cooperative
spirit and to encourage coordinate,
of activities.
5. To foster fuller realization O
the responsibilities of patriotic citi
zenship.
