HOLDING GOOD-WILL
Readers of newspapers and paga-
‘alnes must not be surprised or aggriev-
ed if they oceasionaily find articles ad-
vertised which they are unable to ob-
tain in their stores, or which are en-
tirely out of the market. These ax-
ticles will be placed on aale again in
due time. when the war emergency
that drove them out has passed. in
the meantime. the manufacturers can
alder it necessary to keep them be-
low the public. lest the public forget
them.
it is purely a question of taking care
Mipfone's property and keeping it in
‘good condition. The chief element 01
waldo of most goods that are widely
sold is public familiarity with then 9‘
goods and public “good ~"wlil toward
them. That is a urine laboriously and
oxpensively built up by years. of ex-
pensive advertising and honest deal-
.lng. Many of the factories ordinarilyi
devoted to making such goods are
now engaged in war work for the gov-
! 6111mm, or held up for lack of fuel
m" 'isd‘ supplies. 'When that work is end-l
. .4111, they will- want to return to their
"own Special lines. They will find.
then, that they have suflered a great
‘and undeserved loss If in the mean-
time customers have forgotten all
about them.
Recognizing this, there is 11 tenden-
tjcy on the part of the manufacturers
to follow the example set in Great
Britain. and continue their advertis-
"1'ln’g. It is a wise and‘proper prepara-
.t.iou for the re-adlustments that must
come when the war is won.

This' policy. applies particularly
V the older classes. The war'depart-
"711111111 recognizes that thousands of
men in-their thirties or forties not en;
'gaged in specific “war work" may nev-
Ertheless be rendering better service
to their country in their present em-
ployment than they would be likely to
~ “fender in the army. A ruling made by
, . Provost‘Marshal Crowder gives local
draft bottrds more freedom than be-
_”!ore in determining what work is es-
; .eential'a and what is not. There are
1 '1 hardly; any blanket exemptions of
