The students Repeat Purchases Mode When Consumers Like Quality Of Products Quality Is mat reitain some thing which stamps a man, a woman, a pair of shoes or an automobile as being superior, high class or above the ordin ary, State Secretary of Agricul ture Leland Bull said this week Agricultural leaflets who met -ecently in Heishey had an ex tremely difficult time defining exactly what was meant by qua bty when it applied to an apple, an egg or a bag of potatoes They soon discovei ed that quality means many things to many people To some, quality meant that a particular item moved quickly from the grocer's shelves To others, qaulity meant a product had uniform color and size To a potato packer from the northeastern sectoi of the state, quality meant consumers would purchase a 10 pound bag of his potatoes lather than a competi tive bag at a lower price A Penn State professor point ed out that working housewives (37 percent of housewives have jobs) look for a quality known as “easy to prepare” when they purchase food items Aftei a day of haid woik, woiking housewives want food items which will make a fast meal with a minimum of effoit He also pointed out that vaii eus age groups have vaiying opinions on what constitutes quality Country-style smoked ham may be an older person’s idea of quality while a younger person may favor hams cured with pickling solutions. “A potato which weighs 500 pounds even if it could be produced is of no particular value to a storekeeper.” The man who made this state ment at the Hershey meeting was actually saying that even though a giant potato may have a quality needed to win a prize at a county fair, it does not possess the quality a consumer desires Another man who expressed his opinions at Hershey said that a salesman plays an impor tant lole m determining a pro duct’s quality He explained how a good merchandiser, dis playing a superior dress shirt to a customei, can emphasize that the shirt has quality by the ten deiness and care shown while displaying the shirt. This interesting comment on quality was also expressed at Hershey . A housewife is the final judge of quality, she will purchase a pi oduct again and again if satis fied Most of those agreed on one thing- Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.
