During Nevir her, $1,863.26 was spent on the machines. Cases, tubes and patches cost $847.10. The payroll ‘or police chauffeurs was $710. Automobiles for police departments are undoubtedly nec- essary in these sicdern days. fleet of 12 motorcycles in Seattle frequently come in handy But more runabouts for individual officers would mein another dive into the pockets of the taxpayers, who are making ends meet and keeping the! rather busy as it children in school for automobiles.

S eattl xy Keeping Faith With the Public By FRANKLIN T. HICKOX AKING for granted that a business firm has already won public confidence and is dutifully working to preserve it, the obligation is an easy one for the mer- chant to live up to if he but will First keep clearly in mind that every kind of advertising, be it bill board, street car, newspaper, hand bill, window card, word of mouth, etc., is included in this Next, that it is not so much the thought physicaly expressed through these media that matters, as it is the probability and* the possibility of the adver- tiser wanting to and being able to make good discussion A merchant has a perfect right to offer a star out of the heavens as a premium with each purchase provided he can make good The public He might in turn substitute a $5.00 In either instance He has broken the mainspring of his ‘con- And there's the rub knows that it is neither possible nor probable gold piece for each star, This is possible but highly improbable he has violated public, faith and trust tinued prosperity Searching for motives that would cause a merchant to violate public faith, the writer believes that two principal reasons prompt him to make mistakes, to tell or act lies. Either he becomes over-enthusiastic about his goods and is like the inveterate story-teller who relates both improbable and impossible tales so many times that he really comes to believe they are truths, or else he believes that at least 10 per cent of the people likely to patronize him are born fools and from their purchases he can make good profits. e However, he has failed to keep faith with the majority of the public, and it is in the majority that every man, worthy of the name merchant, is vitally interested. ) Public faith to the life of the successful merchant is as essential as plentiful sun- Q shine is to his good health. Without it he cannot last long. To merit public faith The &; he must be honest himself. He must honestly capitalize his business, he must buy ees v6 é yo honest merchandise, he must quote honest values at honest prices, he must give honest service, he must employ honest salespeople who have confidence in their em- #] p ployer and in the merchandise they sell alle ed The merchant who would prosper through the increasing patronage of a trusting little R = public must Ynerit the public faith in him_and his business methods by: be he Sa é ‘. $s by: long le 1, Giving the public the kind of merchandise it wants i baee bs = 2.
