AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION, Foreign Adv. Representative
: HOW MANY WOMEN ARE IN TROUBLE TODAY?
: e BY J. RR. HAMILTON ;
e Former AdvertisiflguManager of
Wannamaker’s, Philadelphia.
All of you women whose husbands have told you that you have
been spending too much money, please stand up.. Great Scott!
Every married woman in America is on her feet. "
L All of you who are earning your own living and spending as
Inuch as you earn please stand up. c
: Now we've got the rest of them.
“Well,” you say, “now that you've got us standing here what
“are you going to do about it?”
I'm going to give you the first law of business:
Cut your expenses down first, and then find out hbw you can do
it afterward.
. Every big institution carries what it calls a “butcher.”
When the expenses of that instituion begin to eat up the profits
the “butcher” issues a sweeping order to cut down so many hun
dreds of dollars a day. He doesn’t ask how it can be done. He
knows that it has to be done if his business is going to continue, and
he leaves it to the people under him to find out how.
This cutting seldom if ever ruins a business. It simply shar
pens the wits of those who are left.
Now let’s take your case. Instead of taking the money that you
think you ought to have, suppose you take the money that you.have
actually got. In your case, being both “butcher” and buyer, you
naturally have to sharpen your wits.
~ Therefpre the first thing you begin to do each day (just as you
are going to do now in a minute or two) is to open this paper and see
what special inducement each store is offering in the things that are
necessary for you to buy. You look for the clothes, and the shoes,
the children’s dresses and suits, the underwear, the house needs,
and all of the various necessities and luxuries demanded in your
standard of life. ¥ ‘
The next thing to do is to cut out all those snobbish, exclusive,
little nonadvertising concerns, who will find it somehow beneath
their dignity to sell their goods at less than a profit of several hun
dred per cent.
The third thing you do is to reckon up your savings at the end
of a week or two.
And the fourth thing you do is to stand amazed at the amount
you have saved up in spite of the amount you have bought.
Now of course this is letting you in behind the scenes,
‘ There isn’t a buyer in any store who doesn’t have to bring him
self up with a jerk every once and a while, and who doesn’t stand
amazed at what he has been able to accomplish with a smaller amount
of capitaland a greater amount of energy and a little extra thimble
ful of brains. 2
Now don't tell anybody you have been behind the scenes, but
just dig into the advertising in this paper quitely for the next few
‘days; cut out the “dropping-in-anywhere” method of shopping ;
make a business of your household expenditures, and see if this little
financial plan doesn’t relieve your terribje raomcy -y
THE SAPIRO PLAN AND OTHER PLANS
Continued from Page 1 &
~ably be marketed through a central grower’s agency (the second
type of “other plan” referred to) at Chicago. -
There are some of the imitations of the “central agency” systems,
which do not apply to Sapiro organizations: not exactly having pos
_ session of its products, it cannot (a) put the products up as colatoral
for gigantic financing operations. (b) insure delivery to purchasers
~on’its contracts (¢) always enforce its selling and financing contracts
“at law for the simple reason that the organization is too loose for the
other party to enforce the same conract against the organization ;
(d) have any great influence on the market since the manipulators
of the market can easily produce a tempoary temptation for the pro
siducer to desert that particular agency, which temptation he is at
~comparative liberty to yield to, and thus destroy the agency’s power.
-To put it bluntly, the central agency can’t sell the stuff because
it hasn't got to. The idea of a gigantic co-operative selling organiza-
L tion for cotton growers is not new, the only thing that is new is the
idea for one so constricted that it CAN GUARANTEE DELIVERY
TOITS CUSTOMERS? Why less than twenty years ago, there was
~a convention of cotton spinners came from the ends of the earth to
_Atlanta, Ga., especially for the purpjose of seeing whether they could
buy cotton directly from the cotton grower's association then in
process of formation. They wanted to know if delivery could be
- guaranteed. It couldn’t and the spinners went home.
& Mention has been made of the fact that there are very successful
California_organizations operiting upon the same general principles
but differing in detail, from the Sapiro plan. The chief difference
with most of these is that,™while their contract is binding, it runs
tfrom year to year, instead of over a period of years. Two factors
will explain both the success of these organizations and the inappli
cability of the same change to cotton.
- _The first is that those organizations deal in perishables or semi
perishables, the entire crop of which is disposed of in the year in
_which it is produded. If that had to be done to the last bale with
_cotton, you might as well have no organization for all the real good
it coutd accomplish. The second is that these organizations are com
_posed of a class of growers long experienced in co-operative market
_ing, understanding both their obligations and the tricks of the game,
“and to be thoroughly relied upon not to take fright at tempoary bug
.aboos. They practically never leave one association to become inde
- pendent again, but only to switch to some other fruit exchange in
_the same field for minor reasons.
. Developing real power for the cotton grower must be a battle of
more than a year. And if, at the first discharge of a stray enemy
musket, the newly organized army of cotton growers is at liberty to
“tuga tail and tun, in spite of the fact that they will only be running
h& into the same bog of economic slavery in which their fathers
_have all chocked to death before them, they might as well make no
effort to get out and decide to flounder around in the mud forever,
ol ;Lastley, there are numerous so-called co-operative marketing
ijusior cotton which are really schemes for private or co-operative
Ainancing, and which spring up from time to time when there is a
-cottan crissis, cotton bonds, cotton banks, and many of them hold
great possibilities. The dificulity of it all is to get the cotton to which
to apply the scheme. : .
"~ ORGANIZE THE COTTON FIRST, 'GET THE GREAT
g%mgg THE COMMODITY INTO EXISTANCE. SUCH A
UNIT PROPERLY FORMED, AND SUCH A UNIT ALONE
CAN-AVAIL ITSELF OF EVERY FEASABLE SCHEME FOR
COTTON FINANCING, COTTON HANDLING, AND COTTON
'SELLING THAT, WAS DEVISED.

The consolidation was made in the

Fitzgerald's size, is understood to
have been operating at a loss and the

Misinterpret Union
Move To Settlement
.Chairman Martin Says Press Put
Wrong Construction on Proposal
L
Some of the city dailes put an entire
ly wrong construction on the proposal
of the striking railway brotherhoods
to return to work in a body pending
an investigation of the ability of the
railroad to pay wages, according to W.
M. Martin, chairman of thé strikers.
Mr. Martin sgid some ‘newspapers
even went so far as to instruct their
‘newsboys to cry “Strike is Lost” in
‘selling the newspapers with news of
!the union proposal.
~ As a matter of fact, the proposal
that the strikers return to work pend
ing an investjgation was made in good
faith by the men to prove that they
were open to reason and determined
to do only the right thing. ‘
Mr. Martin said the story of the
move as carried in the Fitzgerald
Leader was correct in sense and let
ter,
The proposal was in no way an in
timation of weakening on the part of
the men, who declare that their po
sition is growing stronger every day
the A. B, and A. continues to operate
with its present employees. The stri
kers get daily. bulletins of constant
minor mishaps to railroad property
resulting from inefficient handling by
the present employees.

Textile Workers
After Longer Hours
COLUMBUS, Ga, April l.—-—Sev-4
eral hundred tetile workers of the‘
Eagle asd Phoenix Mills, a large cot
ton plant here, walked out this morn
ing after making demands for an
}increase of thirty per cent in wages and
longer working hours,
The mill operatives claim they arc
not making living wage, and that
is absolutely necessary that the mills
be run longer hours to permit the
men to increase thejr earnings. Of
ficials also issued a statement stating
that they realized that the salaries
were too meager, but they had "been
running at a loss and could not grant
the employee’s requests.
This is the first action of this kind
since 1919, when there was a general
‘strikc among the textile workers in
the several mills in Colémbus, and
‘m:my thousands of employeys were
‘out.
~ The action of the workers of the
Eagle and Phenix mills came on the
‘heels of an announcement by the
Columbus Manufacturing Company
another cotton factory here, that they
would resume full time operation on
April 1.
The announcement said that begin
ning April 1, the mills would run full
time during the day and 60 per cent
at night. There were 700 employes.
working during the winter months,f
while at present over a thousand
workers were kept busy. |

before breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the

To feel like young folks feel: like
