Co-operation,
The Keynote
1 1
The great and compelling
thought In modern merchandis
ing Is co-oporatlon between
manufacturer and retailer on
tho one hand and between tho
retailer and the public, on the
other.
It used to take almost a
life tlmoto tnako a first class
article of merchandise general
ly known and desired, and to
build up a sound and satisfac
tory business.
The roraarkable development
of newspaper advertising now
makes it possible to , build up
In a comparatively short time
a nation-wide demand for al
most any product or article
backed by true worth anu
honesty.
Enterprising dealers encour
age the manufacturers from
whom they buy to co-operate
with them In creating this de
mand by means of newspaper
advertising. The dealer does
his part by featuring these ad
vertised articles in his windows
or on his counters and by in
structing his salespeople to
recommend them.
The public has learned to
rely upon these nationally ad
vertised articles and patronizes
the dealers who Bell them.
This kind ot co-operation is
the keynote of modern busi
ness. It simplifies business,
creates a better understanding
between manufacturer and re
tailer, and Insures greater sat
isfaction and less bother to tha
consumer.
