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. (1) Brown Durrell
Company. (2) Gotham Silk Hosiery Company. (3) Six other silk
hosiery manufacturers. (4) Cannon Manufacturing Company. (5)
Royal Worcester Corset Company. (6) The Esmond Mills. (7) W. S.
Libbey Company. (8) Wilson Brothers. (9) Coopers, Inc. (10)
Eaton, Crane and Pike Company. (1 1) Maid-Rite Corporation. 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.
