One Year of Republican Rule Telephone Main 5000 and Delivery Will Start at Once ! | ONE PRICE § ‘When a “rock-ribbed” Republican organ, reviewing the record of the first year ‘since its party returned to power in all branches of the Government, avers that “this Congress is the worst we have had for twenty years,” and asks despairingly “of what avail is a wise President and a strong Cabinet if it is their misfortune to be blocked in many directions by a recalcitrant Congress>” its criticism arrests attention. “‘Congress,” the Boston Transcript continues, “is the liability of the Republican party today, the President and his Cabinet its great asset.” THe Republican Man- chester Union declares that “it is daily becoming more apparent that Pfesident Harding, much as he may dislike it, must take down from the wall the Big Stick which, since the IFourth of March, one year ago, has been accumulating dust. and begin to brandish it over the head of Con- gress, if so palpably headless a body may be said to have a head.” Congress. with its overwhelm- ing majorities in both Houses. this New Hampshire paper goes on to say, “gummed up the tax revision program,” “man-handled the whole tariff revision question,” and made a “nauseating spectacle” of itself in its handling of the bonus problem. . | = THEN I returned from France, after the Armistice, I found that | some “Multiple Stores” had introduced “Multiple Prices”’ I | | guess they were afraid that War Prices would scare their old custom- | ‘ ers away, so they introduced “Multiple Grades” and “‘Multiple Profits.” Coming direct from the Training Camps on the other side, it looked to me as if Business in America was trying to multiply everyone into multi-millionaires. When Business Men talked about Profits, the figures they used sounded to me like another Liberty Loan. The disease was contagious and the germ spread in our organiza- tion. Now, I'm not going to have an Endless Chain of Prices in the Regal Chain of Stores, and starting today, we are going to cut out “Multiple Prices,” “Multiple Grades” and “Multiple Profits” and do business on our old Platform of - - One Profit— One Quality— One Price The Leather Market jumped like a sky rocket when the submarines shut off the leather supply. We first had to raise our price and later had to change the price, and then introduce different prices to keep in touch with the Leather Market which jumped around faster than the Stock Market. Now the price of Leather is back and the price of Labor is coming down, and shoes which were sold for $16.00 and $18.00, when we went over the top, we can now sell for one price, $6.80. All Sizes and Widths, All Styles and Leathers. < In other announcements I'm going to talk about “Factory Facts,” “Store Savings” and “Cutting the Cost of Distributior.” I'm going to tell you how the $6.80 price was made possible this year by putting’ the knife in Leather Costs, Averaging Labor Costs, eliminating unnecessary Over- head, Reducing Inventories, Increasing Production and Cutting our Selling Cost in ‘two, by selling All Leathers, All Styles at One Profit and One Price. The:general tendency of*the American Press is to blame Cr;ngress rather than the President for any: disappointment that the year has brought forth. & . The Democratic characterization of the present Congress as “a do-nothing Congress” was an- swered by Senator Lodge with the statement that, “I know I am speaking within bounds when I say that no Congress in time of peace has ever shown such an amount of important, effective and remedial legislation as has been enacted by the present Congress since it has been in session.” Con- tinuing, he said: “More was done by the Conference for the world’s peace in.twelve weeks than has been done anywhere else in twice as many years.” ~ 2 THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, March 18th, publishes as its leading article a sum- mary of newspaper opinion throughout the country upon the record of the first year of Repub- lican admiinistration. ~ The articles give all angles of thought upon the subject.
