MORE PROFITS FOR PRODUCERS 197 
Although we have space in this book for but few cases, 
these actual case studies give some idea of the ways in which 
successful manufacturers are already working along Model 
Stock Plan principles. These producers are encouraging 
their dealers to carry in the departments given over to their 
products something approaching the specifications of a 
Model Stock and to operate it along lines resembling to a 
greater or less degree the Model Stock Plan. 
It is evident from the cases cited in this chapter that some 
of these admirable plans must be highly profitable both to 
the store and to the manufacturer.. And there is every 
reason why any one of the more soundly conceived depart- 
mental model stock plans advanced by manufacturers, 
including as they do definite price lines, complete assort- 
ments, and close control of stocks to a minimum practicable 
figure, can profitably be assimilated into the store-wide 
Model Stock Plan with its standardized three full-line prices. 
Thus it will increase the store’s total profits, make the store 
into a more profitable customer for the producer, and lead the 
manufacturers to concentrate their energies on factory 
methods and on products that fit into the Model Stock Plan.
