Deplorable Condition Exists in Dry
Goods Trade Which Forces
Fight for Rights.
A deplorable condition exists in the
dry goods trade and perhaps in other
trades when merchants of establish* i
reputation are forced to protect a
trade-mark from offenders who live
and thrive on imitation
The viciousness of imitation will
certainly at some time read in t
radical way upon thousands of traders
in this country who are exploiting ihe
brains of other people for their own
profit and not for the ultimate benefit
of consumers or producers.
The pure food net was directed pri
marily at the wrongs that had crept
into distribution of the necessaries «>f
life. And sooner or later legislation
is certain to be demanded for the pro
tection of consumers against the
wrongs that are being inflicted in the
field of textile distribution, unless ihe
trade itself soon undertakes a sane
method of correction.
In the past twenty years then* has
developed all over the textile world
both her and abroad, a desire to buy
merchandise because of its construc
tion.
Flood of “Just-as-Good.”
A mill may bring out a cloth that is
new in all of its important feature*,
and to safeguard it against Imita
tion a trade-mark is placed upon ;t
Merchants at once begin to imitate
the cloth, the trade-mark, and then
to debase the construction. Salesmen
are instructed to go forth and sell
something “just as good” as the other
man's. And everything that is com
monly recognized as an established
trade description as it applies to ,he
trade-marked article is violated.

vertising that will make a new radi

Dry goods men bear with many

Tradesmen Indifferent.
Those of them who are 111 touch

ness feel keenly enough about any
thing that unsettles the financial
status of a produ er or a distlbutor.
And they lend all sorts of extraordi

weak In their consideration of the
whole matter. This Is plain speak
ing. but the truth should not hurt.
The Master Salesman
No man really exhaust* the possl
bilitles of ilia subject, however (‘lose
ly he may approach the limits of his
own capacity or of his listener’s pa
tience No salesman ever reaches the
last possible argument in favor of his
goods until the personal equation of
the customer Is eliminated. There is
some special application of all things
to all people, something that applies
with equal force to no one else.
This is the vital touch of the suc
cessful sale -the distinguishing im
pulse that finally decides the sale,
and it must come out of the custo
mer’s own head, The salesman may
introduce it, but he can not partici
pate in its effect, for his own per
sonality only supports him to the
threshold. There is a mysterious In
terior beyond the reach of his influ
ence, Into which the customer must
go alone, and out of which his final
decision will presently issue.
This Anal appeal, this struggle be
tween desire and dubious resistance,
may he precipitated by some sugges
tion from the salesman, worked into
special influence by the customer’s
sue* ceding train of thoughts. An in
terruption, then, an unw ise word, may
shift the train upon a line of greater
resistance. There Is a time, even in
salesmanship, when silence is golden.
The man who can so nearly follow
in Ids mind the workings of another
mind that he can read the probable
| verdict being reached, can remain si
lent while the trend of thought is in
the direction of a sale, can read the
danger signal as this counter mind ap
proaches some new doubt, and. by a
word, can start the thought-ball spin
ning along some smoother path, has
mastered th** art and .science of true
salesmanship.

Effect on Prices On Retail Prices
Dower cotton goods prices are do

possibilities of trade in export cot
tons. Some positive offers have been
received, hut not accepted, because
they are on too low' a range.

Atlanta is making wonderful strides
as a wholesale market. Since the
middle of August her w'holesaie
houses in all lines, without exception
have been crowded with busy and
eager buyers from all parts of the
Houth. These people are not here
merely to see, hut are buying heavily,
and, at the same time, conservatively,
of staples and also holiday novelties.
That Atlanta is proving her just
claim that she has the best whole
sale market in the Southern States is
very clearly evidenced by the inter
esting fart that dozens of those who
are here purchasing large hills are
buyers and merchants who have for
merly traveled hundreds of miles far.
ther to New York and other Northern
markets, but who have recently been
lured to Atlanta by the flattering
“free-fare plan” of the Atlanta Mer
chants and Manufacturers’ Associa
tion.
Some of these buyers, after stop
ping in Atlanta and looking over her
stock of dry goods, shoes and other
staples, in order that they might
have an absolute means of compari
son, have gone on to New York and,
after thoroughly inspecting the lines
shown there, have returned to At
lanta and have purchased the entire
season’s goods here.
Atlanta Has the Goods.
Why have they done this? The
answer is very clear and concise.
Atlanta has the goods. Situated, as
they are, at the intersection of the
principal trunk line railroads of the
South, and with their thousands of
traveling salesmen constantly trav
ersing every mile of Southern terri
tory. the Atlanta manufacturers,
wholesalers and jobbers are more apt
to know exactly the needs of the
retail merchants in the South than
any one else. They do know, and
having that knowledge, have selected
their lines accordingly, and have
bought in such quantities that they
fire able to quote as good or better
prices than their competitors in oth
er markes.
Then, too, after booking their or
ders, they are able to ship goods by
fast freight to any point in the South,
thereby saving the retailer much
time in receiving shipments after his
order is placed. The saving in freight
charges occasioned by this fact Is
another argument greatly in favor of
the Atlanta market.
All Reports Good.
The leading manufacturers and
jobbers of Atlanta have been inter
viewed since the market opened, and
in every case an excellent trade is
reported, much better in fact than
during any season for several years
past. All houses report that they have
opened many new accounts this win
ter, and this is further evidence that
many retailers are visiting the mar
ket who have not been here before.
The Atlanta merchants appreciate
very greatly this promising increase
in trade from out of town, and are
trying to show their appreciation by
giving every customer the promptest J ^ they
and most courteous attention.
Considering the excellent location
of Atlanta as a Jobbing center, the
immense assortment of various lines
carried* the excellent reputation
achieved in the past by Atlanta
houses in their business dealings with
the retailer, and the extremely pros
perous condition of the Southern ter
ritory on account of the splendid crop
conditions, the end of this buying
season will see a larger volume of
goods in all lines shipped from At
lanta to retailers in the South than
ever before.
And, on account of the many sleep
less nights and the thousands of dol
lars which the Atlanta merchants and
manufacturers are spending to in
duce the retailers in Georgia and oth
er Southern States to come here, the
spring buying season will bring to
this market many more merchants
and buyers than have been here this
fall.

monthly bulletin of the National As
sociation of Credit Men.
“The figure for the latter is likely
to be nearly $10U,000,OQO larger this
year than in 1912, and onlv about
$25,000,000 less than in the disastrous
year 1908. Naturally there accompa
nies this record a recession of trade
was a reduction in the regular hours
of work per week in the industry, the
regular hours per week in 1912 being
1.5 per cent lower than in 1911, 3.0
per cent lower than in 1905, 5.4 per
cent lower than in 1900, 6.1 per cent
lower than in 1895 and 6.4 per cent
lower than in 1890.

Indeed, several manufacturing con

going on for some time to bring sell

more skill and technical knowledge in
every department of business and
more economy and efficiency of ad
ministration than ever before, and
full-time t'ours of labor in the boot
and shoe industry in 1912 were a little
over 55 hours per week.
The figures of the report cover over
15,000 employees. The total number
of employees in the industry in 1910,
as shown by the census returns, was
over 185,000.

"The business men of the country j
are looking forward hopefully to thei
relief which will come into the bank- 1
ing situation through the enactment I
of sound banking and currency legis
lation. Business men are recognizing I
as never before how inadequate the |
present system is and how the vast
business of the country has out
grown its banking and currency sys
tem. There is a growing feeling of
hope also that the Interstate Com
merce Commission will see fit to per
mit the railroads slightly increased
freight rates in recognition of the
fact that the difference between the
income and outgo of our railroad com
panies, on account of the increased
expense of doing business, is becom
ing a dangerously decreasing quan
tity. Everybody must recognize that
the soundness of the country's credit
conditions is closely associated with
the soundness of the credit of its
great railroad systems. If they are
unduly hampered as to expansion, and

“Confidence, It is believed, will flow

The Journal of the American
Medical Association” does not sup
port the somewhat prevalent notion
that the pure food law has operated
to increase the prices of foods and
other articles to which it applies. It
holds that the law hjjis increased food
values, but not food prices. “It is

50 per cent of ground olive stones,

Output Is Inferior.
The never ending discussion about
the cheapness of foreign goods com
pared wdth domestic has not only un
settled buyers who are getting ready
to make commitments, but it has dis
turbed domestic lines in a marked
degree. There seems to be a better
sentiment in domestic dress goons cir
cles at present, due to the conviction
that exists in the minds of shrewd
observers that the foreign mills are
not going to take away as much busi
ness from domestic mills as was gen
erally expected a couple of months
ago.
Of course more foreign goods are
going to be sold and the importations
are going to displace just as many
yards of domestic fabrics, but it is
very doubtful whether foreign mill
owners will find it an easy matter to
get a firm foothold here when domes
tic mills w’ith plenty of capital behind
them are determined to fight hard lo
maintain their supremacy in the home
markets.
Whether it will be advisable to
name prices on corporation goods for
the fall 1914 season right after the
turn of the year or wait until after
the wholesale dry goods men’s con
vention seems to be puzzling the dress
goods folk. Those who favor an early
opening believe it would dispel the
price doubts that surround the fu
ture, while those who favor the later
date contend that practically nothing
can be accomplished after the con
vention, which is scheduled for Janu
ary 20.
They are watching one another
closely, and it is reasonable to pre
sume that if an early move is made
by one of the important factors the
others will follow suit.
Some prominent distributers have
declared their intention of buying
large quantities from the foreign mills
next season, bur it remains to be seen
whether thev wall do so. In any event,
developments are not far distant.
mlla instead of 10 cents for a worth
less imitation is actually saving
money and reducing the cost of liv
ing instead of increasing it, for the
bottle of to-day will go five times as
far as that of former days and at the
same time be much more .satisfactory.
The price of the great food staples—
flour, rice, corn, beef and sugar—is
absolutely uninfluenced by pure food
law’s. They may be higher to-day
and lower to-morrow, but their cost
to the consumer depends on the avail
able supply, influenced by the expense
of preparation and transportation.”

ment of Commerce. In his annual re
port. says that the Bureau of r r , r

Tobacco Monopoly

The French Government's tobacco
monopoly brought a net income to
the State last year of $105,000,000, >f
the largest return since the founda
tion of tiie monopoly 102 years ago.
This vast profit was made out of a
capital of about $30,000,000, or about
one-third Uie capitalization of the
lately dissolved American Tobacco
Company.
Twenty great factories work up the
whole of the tobacco manufactured
in France, and the right to retail is
jealously guarded by the State. There
are 47,250 authorized tobacco plant
ers in France who grow; about 40.-

Lettering Device
For Show Card Use
One of the newest lettering devices
to be put on the market Is the "poll-
graf." It is made by a New York
firm, and is said to be especially use
ful in lettering signs and showcards.
The device is made entirely of steel,
and is only about two inches square.
It is claimed that by using it any un
skilled letterer can make practically
perfect letters of the Gothic type. It
j not only shapes all of the letters and
numerals and makes them of the
[ same size, but it prevents irregular
spacing.
The device was invented by a man
who for a long time was connected
with the jewelry trade. It is pro
tected by intents in this country and
live foreign countries.
Every merchant should go to mar

EATING AND BUSINESS.
It is an American habit to save as
much time as possible and an attrac- j olHlUclY
tive way is to do two things at once.
T N a statement, in which it substitutes fiction for fact, the Chicago Tribune asserts that it has a
* larger net paid city circulation than any other Chicago morning newspaper.
Lest anybody whom it may concern should be deceived into mistaking bluff for genuine circu
lation. the Chicago Examiner makes the following proposal:
That all the Chicago morning newspapers open up their circulation hooks and
records to the Association of American Advertisers and to such other represent
ative bodies as may be selected.
The Chicago Examiner herewith agrees to have this investigation made and it
herewith invites the Association of American Advertisers to take the first step
to bring this about.
The investigation, under these auspices, would be fair and square, comprehen
sive and comparative. It would remove all doubt in the minds of national ad
vertisers and Chicago merchants as to the circulation, particularly the city
circulation, of each of the four Chicago morning newspapers.
The period for this investigation shall be the six months beginning July 1,1913,
and ending December 31, 1913.
If any one of the other morning newspapers of Chicago refuses to open up its
books and records, then the Chicago Examiner agrees herewith to have a joint
investigation made with the remaining Chicago morning newspapers.
If all of the other morning newspapers refuse to open their books and
records, then the Chicago Examiner herewith agrees to submit to this
investigation alone because the Chicago Examiner insists on proving
its own circulation.
