Every Good Mill Making .
Merchandise Carefully
Inspects
the day's product, day after day, discarding
from the perfect pieces as they leave the looms
such as have broken threads, stains from the
machinery or defects in warp or woof, and all
such are sold as "seconds" by the mill owners.
Some of the jobbers buy as many pieces of
the perfect as they buy pieces of the imperfect,
and when the defects are slight, they mix them
all together and the consumer is not informed
of the defects.
The clerk selling them over the counter and
the tailor-manufacturer who cuts them up and
has them sewed into dresses pay no attention to
the defects, and when the customer, ready to
buy something, points out the defects he is told
by the attendant that such things are usual and
of no consequence.
The system of this Store from the begin
ning, based on instructions given the day before
its doors opened, requires the clerk to point out
any known defect, in even the best that the
manufacturers send us, and also to call the
attention of the would-be buyer to the goods
that are bought by us as "seconds," and marked
and sold at lower prices because they are bought
at lower prices.
