All Doctors Without I’ay.
;! "Every doctor in the department,
;| including myself, lias been laid off
[ji without pay for the past two weeks,"
Ij Dr. Pinto said. "By this means we
j! saved more than $2,500. In order to

[jj said. "To ask us to lose one-thlnl
l J of this, with no assurance that ou:'

Ij! justice.”
Jij ,|fc>r. Pinto pointed out that it is
ji, only recently that police surgeons

! nWrly paid hy the police department.

I Retail Merchant s 1
Every merchant has In his store certain
goods that rise above mere merchandise and
Inspire a friendly feeling. They're goods
that are on the move, as the dancing keys of
the cash register show. More come as the
others go, bringing cheer. They’re his trade
leaders—goods that pay, year after year.
¥ ¥ ¥
Let us review the story of one.
Today It Is sold by 415.000 retailers and It
brings to these merchants an average gross
revenue of $333,000 a day.
It Is Coca-Cola.
¥ ¥ ¥
Coca-Cola has capitalized thirst—because It
delights taste and satisfies thirst.
And Coca-Cola represents a merchandising
plan that has become a model to the business
world.
Distribution Is provided for quick deliveries
of fresh goods, so that retailers may handle
Coca-Cola on a small investment and secure
maximum turnover.
There are 14 regional Coca-Cola syrup fac
tories, 24 strategic warehouses, 2,360 jobbers
with floor stocks and 1,250 Coca-Cola bot
tlers.
A Service Section Is maintained, composed
of highly trained soda dispensers who go
i behind the fountains of retailers and teach
the regular dispensers the most Improved
! methods of fountain operation. In addition,
to standardize this beverage, thin, six-ounce
Coca-Cola glasses are sold, and in 1923,
3,400,000 of these glasses were delivered to
the trade. The whole Coca-Cola sales force
of more than 300 constant!,’ drives home
the point that one ounce of Coca-Cola syrup
with five ounces of cold carbonated water
makes a perfect Coca-Cola.
A distinctive bottle was designed and pat
ented. It is shaped like a tenpin and you
can identify it in the dark. This bottle is
known to everybody as a sterilized package
that has been filled and sealed air-tight
without the touch of human hands.
Coca-Cola helps its retailers display the
goods.
Three million pieces of dealer help advertis
ing-signs and decoration for show windows,
soda fountains and refreshment stands—are
being distributed in 1924. There are 20,900
Coca-Cola walls and bulletins. Two and a
half million 1924 Coca-Cola calendars were
given away. Coca-Cola’s message is carried
in millions of copies of magazines and news
papers.
see
The highest quality possible in a beverage
has kept the purity and wholesomeness of
Coca-Cola constant for 38 years. Millions
say it has the most wonderful flavor they
ever tasted.
Thus Coca-Cola earns profits for 415,000
retailers. And no dealer has ever lost a
single dollar invested in Coca-Cola through
lack of sale.
