CHAPTER XIII MORE PROFITS FOR PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS How producers are employing model stock plans of their own to ‘ncrease their own and their customers’ total profits.

All of these plans are helpful but would bring far greater results if made to ~onform to Model Stock Plan principles for stores using Model Stock Plan. Tae Model Stock Plan was originally designed as a tool vith which the retail merchant might do a better job and thereby earn greater total profits. Yet we know that it can vield the greatest returns to the retailer only as he induces his resources to apply to their manufacturing problems and processes the waste-saving principles of the plan. This will be found a much easier task than might be supposed. As it happens, manufacturers are already attaining comparable results by approaching the problem from their own standpoint. This chapter is principally made up of examples showing how far producers have already gone in creating model stock plans of their own. Some of these have been remarkably successful. Most of them will be much more successful when they conform to the strong points of the Model Stock Plan as described in this book, when they are worked out to fit into the retailers’ Model Stocks. From using his own limited model stock plan, the manu- facturer has already found definite advantages: r. His dealers attain a more rapid rate of turnover and thereby earn greater total profits from handling his products. They, therefore, continue to trade with him and to do progressively larger sales volumes in his goods. TRe
