Almost Every Day During the
Recent lernoie war
the newspapers chronicled the inventions of new
weapons, batteries, aeroplanes and destructive
It is equally true that the necessities of war
led to the production of substitutes for leather,
substitute fabrics for clothing and for men's and
women's dress.
All sorts of spurious materials wer.e put upon
the market to meet the demand for cheapened
articles.
We kept strictly to our standards and missed
the sales of quantities of merchandise, preferring
to lose easily made profits on low-priced goods
which people wanted, believing that this would
not turn out satisfactorily.
It was hard to hear people say: "We have
not the money for usual qualities, and must get
something for the money we have in hand."
But conditions are slowly changing and we
urge people not to waste good money on inferior
stuffs, which cannot possibly give proper service
because of ingredients used in the manufacturing.
This is a fortification of honorable trade and
commerce, and upon our flags is "Invicttf' for our
motto.
