Interesting, too, to | read the advertising—to see names of | products and places that are really friends of ours. Many of these names are on packages in our pantry just off the kitchen, in medicine cabinets in the bathroom, on the hubcaps of our autos, in our shirts and suits and | shoes. ] These are names, and some of them are so much more valuable than others. Look how apparently non- chalantly, but proudly, Mrs. John Doe throws her fur coat over the back of a chair, exposing the name of the furrier. Yes, there are some important 5 names. Very in‘t;eresting, the history of names of makers and brands of mer- chandise—and trade-marks. We have been told that long before printing had been invented, the Guilds of the Middle Ages passed laws, compelling each member to stamp a personal identification mark on his goods. And most of these Guild members made | goodsaccording toself-imposed stand- ards. Really, the original purpose of | trade-mark laws was to help tracecul- | prits who made sub-standard goods. Later, the Guilds faded from history | and so did their compulsory trade- | mark laws. But some men were proud to continue putting their brand names | on their products because they were proud of the goods they made. And the public found that goods bearing certain brand names pleased them | better than did other goods bearing | other names. For exactly the same | reason, today, centuries later, con- sumers make most of their purchases | by brand names. Every once in a while somebody proposes to do away with all brand names and to sell manufactured and processed goods according to “'stand- | ardized grades.” Such a plan might develop a tendency on the part of some manufacturers to “get by” with the least that is required of them to meet a given standard. It would give little encouragement to those who have sufficient pride of achievement | to provide the consumer with the | biggest measure of quality—exceed- ing the minimum requirements. Laws would have to be passed compelling every maker to put a serial code number on his goods, so that if there | were a complaint about his goods, it could be traced to him. Before long, buyers would discover that there is | a difference in quality, even within the tange of any one grade. But the | buyers would have to remember the numbers, if they found certain articles in a grade better than others. And that would be awkward. | The movement to eliminate brand names would not do away with the inalienablerightof consumersto shop for the best value for their money. It would merely substitute numbers for names. As for ourselves, we would rather be known by a name than a number.

He said that organized labor in Anchorage is making every ef- fort to create better understanding with the public and industry and that regular open meetings are held as public service and educational| meetings. Among subjects discussed are the future of forestry; socia! and economic welfare; child welfare, education, operation of government agencies; post-war planning; game commission; tour- ist trade, agriculture, mining and fishing. e - MRS.
