SHOULD MANUFACTURERS
PERMIT CANCELLATIONS
Great Wholesale House Takes Firm Stand in
Favor of the "Integrity of Agreements"
and in Refusing Countermands.
One of the serious annoyances—often causing
loss—is the custom of countermanding orders given,
seemingly, in good faith. The traveling man under-
stands what this means. The manufacturer, in many
instances, has suffered by it. And no responsible
merchant will issue a countermand unless the rea-
son is valid and even urgent.
The manufacturer goes to great expense to secure
the orders. He bases the activities of his factory
largely upon these orders, and he can not cancel
them indiscriminately. In fact, in no branch of
business is the countermand justified unless there
has been misrepresentation, or there is liability of
loss to the manufacturer by reason of financial en-
tanglements of the retailer.
The great house of John V. Farwell has recently
issued a statement showing its stand in the mat-
ter of cancellations. And the attitude of that house
seems just. Here it is:
•'During times like these some merchants (though
we are glad to say only a small percentage of our
customers) are inclined to think they can return
goods and claim credits on goods sent as ordered.
"In justice to the large percentage who do not
return, and in order to safeguard a principle of liv-
ing up to contracts, we have taken the positive stand
that we will not receive or credit goods delivered by
us as sold or ordered, nor will we allow rebates
from prices agreed to at the time of sale and sti|l
in effect at time of shipment.
"In line with these views we are pleased to quote
the following paragraph from the proceedings of a
meeting of the Michigan Retail Merchants' Associa-
tion held recently: 'In discussing cancellations and
returning merchandise at the evening session of the
Michigan Retail Dry Goods Association conven-
tion, D. M. Cristian, president of the organization,
said that in his opinion goods bought in good faith
and delivered as agreed should be taken in and
paid for. He advocated an order form to be adopted
by the association members that would be signed
by both the buyer and seller.'
"We have delivered during the last five years
millions of dollars of merchandise at less than price
at time of delivery, and no merchant can say that*
we have not in all cases respected our agreements.
"If you have too many goods sell them and buy
more. We are always ready to quote lowest mar-
ket prices.
"If we are in error we will make corrections, but
we ask your co-operation in our stand, which is
positive, that we will refuse to take back goods or
allow rebates when goods are shipped as ordered.
"We believe all honorable merchants whose inter-
ests are thus protected, will support us in this stand
for the integrity of agreements and for proper
standards in the dry goods business."
