This voluntary association of the men of our trade
to help one another, to give greater value to their custom-
ers and to become more dependable and constructive team
mates with our manufacturers and jobbers, is a most power-
ful force for the good of our entire industry and for the
nation as well. Selling is not only the final process of
production, but it is the point of contact of our wares
and services with our customers who are the supreme judges
of all that we have to offer. From them and then thru us
must flow the entire income of every unit in our industry,
and as the merchants win a deserved success so will all of
the other units prosper.

The differences between men in the trade are mostly
differences in length of view, short time or long time. All
would like to profit, and most all genuinely desire to
serve. The Association's activities are conducted by volun-
tary co-operation, and to be fruitful and beneficial for
all,
including the customers as a whole, these activities
must lean toward the longer view, —for the better tomorrow
as well as for today. The association will help create
confidence, increase efficiency in production and distrib-
uting, add strength and stability, and last but not least,
improve acquaintance and friendship and make for greater
satisfaction in our life's work. We want the support of
every man, every firm and every unit in the trade, and as
you give you may also expect to receive.
