Each trade we sell seems to have a particular and good reason, for the quality it needs. For certain purposes a good strong piece of goods is demanded and these customers constantly keep after us about the breaking strength of fabrics. Others are so particular that they buy goods made only on feel motions. For this reason we make stvle HH both wavs. It is our job to know such things, keeping the mill informed about the uses to which the goods are being put. As you know, tests are made in the plants many times a day on all phases of the manufacturing end of the business. Everything done from your end producing high quality uniform goods aids us that much more in selling the fabric. The meat of this subject is that our customers can buy from many, many mills the same cloth they buy from us. All of these goods are priced at the market so there is no price advantage. You may ask why we get business sometimes and our competitors do not, or just the opposite. The true reasons are quality and service. Quality of our goods must at least equal the quality of the best mill in the country, and the service we give our customers here and i?i the detail departments at the mills, and in the shipping ITTO .OYEES OF CLINTON-LYDIA 1 KL1 * NG, pennant-winning Clinton-Lydia Clark Meadora, th > team is undefeai rford.

As you know, we have salesmen in New York and in other large cities, such as Chicago. Boston. Los Angeles, etc., who are able to better serve the customers and give them quicker information because they are located right in the same area as the customers. Selling Example As an example, let us say that one of the large chain store and catalog houses, such as Sears Roebuck &: Co.. are going to send out a new catalog and from then experience estimate, among other things, that they will need 5.000 pan wi men r> pet J el 11 They then go to a pajama manufacturer and work out the style of the garment, colors and patterns, price and delivery, and all other details, a.000 dozen equals 60,000 garments, and it takes about 5 yards to make one garment. So this one requirement of this customer would use 300,000 yards of cloth. The garment manufacturer, who makes the pajamas, then goes to a converter (whose function has been explained in a previous article) and gives his order for the finished cloth to the converter. At this point it is important that the converter immediately buy the 300,000 yards of grey goods at the market price then prevailing, because markets go up and markets go down, but he has sold the (Cont'd, on Page 2) Sec. 34.66, P.
