To supply these materials hundreds of factories were built and expens sive sales forces were organized, each with its own standard of production and system of distribution—manywithlittle or no standard or system, Waste was inevitable; quality uncertain; price a matter of barter -—s0 that buyers of the previous generation might well heed the old Latin warning caveat emptor—*“let the buyer beware.” But within twenty-five years a peaceful revolution has relieved the buyer of all uncertainty and placed the responsibility squarelyon the shoulders of the manufacturer. Certain-teed fullyaccepted this responsibility. Today, over one hundred products of usefulness and beauty are made in the sixteen plants you see on this page; each product uniform in its enduring quality; each made by the most modern and economical process, each reaching you over the shortest possible distance with the least possible expense. €ach and all are united under one policy, one sales organization and one brand—the brand that means—Certain satisfaction— Quality guaranteed, the brand known everywhere as Certain-teed.
