DECEMBER lst. 1932 In Looking for Values Don't Forget Quality On one o! numerous small streamners displayed in a Bowmanville merchant's store there is conveyed this advice to the Public, "In looking for values, don't forget qLality." No sounder counsel was ever given to customers by dealers. Quality is o! para- mount importance, for that article wbich possesses quality will last longer than the one lacking it and will give more satisfaction all the while it is in use. It is folly to sacrifice quality to price, for a poor article is a dear article, be the price ticket neyer s0 10w. Cheapness is a menit only so long as allied to quality. At the present time it seems in order to de- flate prices on every side. wich is ail veny well if it can be done witbout curtailing quality. but where goods require to be made o! a 10w standard in order to admit o! prices at new 10w levels the goods are not going to give satisfaction; neither can tbey lead ta repeat orders. always a prime consideration. It is something for both buyer and seller to bear in zmnd. Everybody adinits the truth o! it. but o! ten it is forgotten in the business o! the day. Unusual lowness o! pnice breeds suspicion in the minds of many people, as well it might. since economic laws cannot be !louted with safety. The thoughtful merchant knows, though no more conscious o! it tban the buyer. that goods cannot be sold below cost if tbe dealer is to continue in busi- ness. It is true that some merchants neyer tbink of seiling more than one or two articles at or below cost. which o! course is done witb a vîew to retriev- ing on other goods seld to customers attracted by tbe cheapness o! the sacrlficed goods, but, if a num- ber o! other dealers in the same community do like- wise, there are likely ta, be several lines sold at a sacrifice in that burgh. and the vendors are but in- viting trouble for tbemselves. The dealer must have his profits if bis establlshment is to continue as a going concern. There are certain elementary laws governing busi- ness which cannot be broken with lmpunity. One is the making of a f air profit; the other is in seeing that a proper standard is mamntained in the goods sold. Violation o! these fundamentals may be car- ried on for a while witb apparent success, but tbe end is failure-inevitable, complete. Let's Take a Lesson From the West A little o! the optimism o! tbe West, as outlined in the address of Rev. Dr. Lorne McTavish of Osh- awa before the Women's Canadian Club bere ne- cently. migbt well be inculcated into the business and industrial l! e o! Ontario, and of Bowmanville as an integral part o! that province. To the western farmer, a crop failure apparently does not bring about a spirit of dejection. Certainly it does brlng hard living and strenuous times, but to the westerner is seen a brigbter day ahead. a day of better crops, better prices and better conditions. Tbe trouble wth a lot o! Ontario people is that tbey have forgotten the virtue o! hope. They have taken tbe worst and have been content to let it prey on tbeir minds. The business men have sat back in their stores and offices, waitlng apparently for the end. Tbey have brought more stringent business conditions because o! their utter lack of hope and faith in their own abilities. They blatantly tell their customers tbat things are bad, tbat tbey don't ex- pect tbey'll be any better for a long, long time, and i this manner tbey add to tbe scare and fear. until a prospective buyen begins to wonder whether he is doing the mwise thing in spending. Wben the business man looks beyond the narrow confines o! his store out into the broader vision o! Dominion if e be will catch a little o! tbat optimism. pass it on to bis customers and so speed the return of better times. The Right Use of Leisure One kind o! unemployment not o!ten men±ioned in the discussions on the subject Is that wbich affects a person who is in receipt o! a livelihood but wbo does not know bow pnoperly to employ the hours when be is not earnlng it. None can measure ils extent. Statistics are unavailable. But personal ob- servance is more eloquent than figures in showing that it takes in a large element o! the wold's popu- lation. The proof lies In the constant quest for diversion. Fundamental in tbe de! inition o! diversion is its absence o! lasting satisfactions. It is a neady-made pleasure, thrlving only on novelty, whlch baving passed, ceases to be any other than a boring pursuit, and in consequence is soon abandoned. One a! ter another time-consuming device is sampled and dropped. The more desperate the effort to escape ennui the quicken it fails. Sa fan as a lange nuxnber are concerned, no competiton bas yet been found ta outdo the motion pictune show in its abillty to take cane o! tbe time which bangs s0 beavily on their hands. The movie makes a blgger dlaim even than tbat. It will chase tedium away. But bow? Hollywood studios are pouring out many movies whose chief function seems to be to titillate the senses. In tbe process they o! ten instill wrong values into the younger membens o! the community. Is this the way that leisune is golng to be used? The question is urgent, because we are living in an age which is already discussing a !ive-day week sei- ously. The propen employmçnt of leisure will then assumne a social significanre o! the !inst order. Thi.ý einpha zis on proper leisune-time occupation does flot mean that there is no place for divertise- mnént. Sucb a place must be readily apparent in any community life. The fault is that too many pensons carry diversion beyond the border line o! xnoderation. Like the transformnation of thnift into antisocial misenliness, 11. then becomes pernicîou The nestonation o! a rlght relation In pleasures would give a langer place than is now taken 1.0 tbe pursuit of sklll, recreation and beauty. Those who seek these are !ully employed because they are adding 1.0 expenlence and building up thein use!ulness. When The Statesman la Late Due to an accumulation of circumstances Tbe Statesman came off the presses some 9 bours late last week, and what a furore. The Post Office staff was beseiged with questions. The Statesman was flot in the box. What had bappened? The post office staff was not the only organisation eitber that received numerous queries throughout the day. Our office telephone was constanly ringing. 'Our Statesman was not in our mail box. did you for- get to send it. or do you tbink the label migbt have fallen off?" Between telephone calîs there was a steady stream of personal calîs at the office and everyone seemed surprised when they learned that the paper was not yet orinted. We are not writing tbis to draw your attention to hie fact that we were late. Tbat we regret, but we draw it to your attention to satisfy our own pride thEtt there is really a genuine appeal about The Statesman. and bundreds of readers who wait pat- iently each week for its regular appearance. Perhaps the strangest thing of all came f rom a business man who bas not been located in Bowman- ville very long. From the stan bhe has been a sub- Iscriber, and apparently he finds the paper as inter- esting as the older subscrîbers. for on Fniday. wben talking to one of the staff, hie said the following: "You know its flot because I am mad that I am telling you about the paper being late. but I have gotten so used to having it every Thursday morning that there seems to be sometbîng wrong when it doesn't come. We take the Toronto papers and trade journals. but they all stand aside wben The States- man comes. and remain aside until the wbole paper is perused." Thank you. We certainly appreciate your com- ment, as they say over tbe radio. We will endeavour to keep Tbe Statesman in that channel of interest and moreover we'll tny and get it to you on time eveny week.
