In bis petition, filed tn th 1, 3 HEN I went into the retail cigar business twenty years ago, I had less trouble in getting customers for my store than I had in collecting the bills | which they incurred. On the face of things as my books showed, I was making money — almost from the start, but I was not long in finding out that no dollar was mine until | had it to my credit in the bank, Whether they were good debts or bad debts they kept me awake nights. I had to pay mine or quit. Another thing that hit me hard was the un- fairness of letting the man that bought cigars and tobacco on credit get just as much for his dollar as the fellow who paid me spot cash. I studied this a long while and finally figured out that I could take the old idea of giving coupons redeemable in premiums and give it new meaning and values in Profit-Sharing. | could then put my business on a cash basis and make the it-Sharing plan hold my trade steady by making it an object to trade with me. I figured that the man who traded with me right along was earning me bigger profits than the fellow that only came once in a while. [| could hold his trade easier and with less expense. Therefore, the way to keep the steady cus- tomer was to give him a share of those profits. If 1 could do it in a way that made his share of the profits grow in just the same propor- tions as the trade he gave me grew, | would be treating everybody alike and making it an object for.a man to deal with me just as much as he could. So I started the coupon plan of profit-sharing in a small way, but with thes difference from most coupon plans: First, I gave as premiums nothing but standard quality goods, the kind you'd select when you wanted the best make of any article, gh he redemption value of the coupons in ide? was unusually liberal, so that it was easy to get premiums without any long waiting. Each coupon was worth two-fifths of a cent in merchandise, and | gave eight cents’ worth of cou- pons with every dollar's worth of goods I sold. So every purchase from five cents’ worth up earned the consumer a profit-sharing coupon. He was earning profits for me and his continued trade made these profits bigger than if | depended on transients, so why shouldn’t he get his share? You see, I wasn't asking him to pay more because he this profit-sharing. |My goods had to meet the keenest competition in quality and price and I had to (ip my customers at least as much value as they could get anywhere else to hold their trade at all. Now I have told you just the outline @f the idea iteelf,—the profit-sharing plan that my first success in cigar business, we organized the United Cigar Stores we knew this plan was abso- lutely sound and we made it a feature of these stores tight from the start. This soundness depended upon a high redemption value of the coupons and a rigid tule that every single premium that we cat must be a standard high-quality article advertised in the newspapers and magazines and carried in stock at the best stores, That was thirteen years ago. And our business grew steadily, and our volume of profit-sharing through Profit-Sharing Coupons kept pace right along. We kept opening more Profi t- Sharing Stations to distribute the premiums and kept adding to the lines of goods given as premiums until you could get almost anything you wanted either for your own use, wear or pleasure or to give to some one else, eh or for the home. And all the time we had to sell our goods at prices that would meet all competition, otherwise we could not have kept our customers. The coupons had to be a share of the profits they earned for us.

And they | gave me a reason for want- | ing Profit-Sharing Cou- | pons that goes right to the heart of one great problem in modern business. facturerd woed'me'to tai Their reason was that them uae the Coupons.” if yoy put two different makes of goods on the dealer's shelf, both the same in kind, quality and price and one make has the Profit- Sharing Coupons and the other does not, the man or woman who buys will select the one that earns the Profit-Sharing. T have always had a lot of sympathy for the dealer's viewpoint about so-called “substitution.” I believe dealers as a rule are giving the best value they can and carrying as big a variety of ls as they can. And when you come along and a: one make of goods and he has only some other line which is just as good in quality and price, he can’t go out and get you the make you ask for unless enough people want it, and you are going to take the one he has unless there is some real reason why you should insist on the other. The dealer isn’t trying to substi- tute. He is trying to please the greatest number of customers. These manufacturers who wanted to pack United Profit-Sharing Coupons with their goods urged that these coupons would do away with a lot of so , called “substitution” by building up a steadier trade for the dealer. This, in turn, would enable him to buy to better advantage from the manufacturer, thus helping the dealer's profits. the manufac- | turer, in turn, could then well afford to divide his | profits with the consumer by packing the coupons exchangeable for the most “7h¢ customer, will select valuable premiums. Proft-Sharing.” I could not help seeing that if only those manufacturers of standard quality goods with eagablished reputations for responsi- bility #hd honesty could put our profit- sharing into effect the entire nation would benefit. Profit Sharing is in the very air nowadays—here is Henry Ford, for example, dividing his profits with the Avenue, White Boston A for Building. at the meeting. A little over $1,000,000, exterior decoration and do transept towers or the four large ‘They call for simply the t othe word, | I George J. Whelan’s Story of Profit-Sharing people who help him earn them. His latest idea now is to give a share of his profits back to the man who i motor cars when his sales have reached the point where he can do so. People are battling with the high cost of living and this is the best answer that has yet been found—to enable them to share in the profits they earn for others. This is the way the United Profit- Sharing Corporation came into exist- ence. te is now fully organized and doing business. Its members consist already of some forty manufacturers of a great variety of products, such as food, household necessities, wearing ‘apparel, etc., etc.—in every single in- stance a standard, trade-marked ar- ticle. So a new opportunity for sharing profits is open to the housewife and, indeed, to every member of the family. It is the dollar spent on every-day purchases that is most regularly spent and, therefore, the dollar that should regularly earn a profit for its spender. Con- sequently, the manufacturers admitted to the use of this plan are those whose lines will meet the day need of the people. The coupons are known as United Profit-Sharing Coupons, and they carry the same percentage of profit to the consumer on every dollar's worth of goods as do United Cigar Coupons and are good for the same variety and grade of standard Premiums. I have been asked to explain why these profits are not divided in money instead of merchandise. You will see the answer in- stantly when I explain it. te Suppose that you receive y four cents in cash with every dollar's worth of | goods. You are not a wholesaler and, therefore, you would have to spend your money at retail. The United Protit-Sharing Cor- poration, because of the | enormous bysiness it handles, becomes immedi- | ately one of the biggest “— wholesalers in the country. “The Coupon, represent It can, therefore, buy in maker's prot.” the markets of the world in big quantities and at the lowest wholesale prices. Consequently you get twice as much value in merchandise as could be given you in actual money. It is just as if you invested your cash discount money and doubled it thereby. You invest in 1s contain- ing United Profit-Sharing Coupons. These goods earn you, 88 profit of four cents in money value, but profit is paid to you in just the kind of merchandise you want, giving you twice the value of the money-profit you earned. w much more, there- fore, people are benefited by profit-sharing in standard merchandise than by any other plan that could be devised! It makes their money go twice as far. And yet it does not add one single penny to the cost of their dise, for the values and prices of the goods they get are fully as desirable as those of any goods not containing the coupons. In the past thirteen years merchandise to the value of more than $14,000,000 nas been given out as ete: miums. More than 800,000,000 Profit-Sharing Cou- pons were redeemed by the United Cigar Stores Co, alone during their last fiscal year. Of these 863(% of all the Profit-Sharing Coupons put out by the United Cigar Stores Co. during that period were redeemed— which clearly indicates how fully the people really ap- preciate the value of these coupons. Now, with so many manufacturers packing United Profit-Sharing Coupons with their products, literally billions of coupons will be redeemed and profit-sharin; with the consuming public will amount to millions dollars yearly. I commend the United Profit-Sharing Coupons to the entire public: They offer even for the smallest purchase a share in all profits earned by that purchase and give the people full value in st goods 4 the share of wealth earned by their money which they rightfully should have. It will make a more prosperous New Year for the households of this country.
