BIC FIRMS OUT
To WIN PUBLIC
CONF |DENCE
By B. @. FORBES

Sears, Roebuck and Com
pany have taken a step
which carries a suggestion
for other large organizations,
especially those doing a ma
tionwide business.
Industry and merchar-
dizing are being done more
and more through branch
factories, branch assembling
plants, branch warehouses,
branch and chain stores.
The action inspired by Julius
Rosenwald, the far-seeing head
of Sears, Roebuck and Com
pany. is calculated to remove.
or at least modify, the wide
spread complaint that managers
in charge of branch establish
nents or chain stores too often
have neither the authority nor
the inclination to accept a full
share OF local civic responsibili-
ties and obligations.
RosenwaId Letter
The following letter tells what
has been done:
my Dear; Mr.. Forbes:
'sYou will recall that under
date OF February I'd you wrote
an open letter from Oakland,
Calf, to several chief executives
OF large industries. Included In
your list was the name Of MIR.
Julius Rosenwald, as chairman
Of the board Of Sears, Roebuck
& Co. You suggested that these
companies, who have branches in
various cities. induce their repre-
sentatives to take an active part
in the communities where their
branches are located. Mr.. Rosen-
wald brought this to my atten-
ton.
II thought you might be in
terested In knowing that on Feb
ruary Is we held meeting or
all our regional managers and
read your letter to them. We
urged them to follow your sug-
gestion, and have taken steps to
increase the affiliation of our
company with worthy civic ana
philanthropic movements in all
the cities In which we have
branches.
please accept our very heart
lest thanks for bringing this
matter to our attention.
sincerely yours,
"LESSING J.. ROSENWALD.
'sVice president.
-. WHYSIn
That reveals business states
nanship. Now as never before
it IL being recognized that BUSH
ness success depends largely on
good will. The earning of good
will Is the chief purpose Of all
advertising-the earning OF good
viii towards product and
towards the concern making the
product.
Indeed. the trend today is
towards winning confidence in
the corporation or institution. IL
the public can be thoroughly con-
WINGED that such.and-such a COM
pany never fails to give the
greatest value for the consumers
money, then whatever product
the concern may bring out faces
no "gales resistance" but it Is
taken for granted that, bearing
the stamp Of that particular
maker, the goods will be highly
satisfactory.
AS this modern method of doing
business through branches and
chains spreads 1t becomes dis
tinct1y more important that good
will be earned in each city and
community where a. branch or

aa the result of the unexpectedly
small expansion OF $50. OOO, 900 In

in General Motors sent that stock
up to 1SS, for q new high record

Sears Roehuck led brilliant adj
