York Weekly Newspaper Representatives, Inc National Advertising Representative What Competition Does The Hillsboro. Oregon, Argus, a semi-weekly newspaper which has received many national awards for excellence, re cently printed an editorial with the novel title. "Grocery Progress and the American Way." It observed that we read the ads in order to find out what is offered and what the prices are—but that we take it all as a matter of course Then it said: "Where else in the world is such a variety of food, the prime essential of life, available to everyone? And what one single thing is responsible for this more' than any thing else? Competition—the desire ... to offer a better product at a lower price ..." Food is certainly an excellent example of that. But it doesn’t stop in one field We find it in every kind of retail store and establishment. The retailer is engaged in an end less and exacting quest for consumer favor. He uses every practical technique in his efforts—lower prices, better ser vice, more attractive stocks, compelling advertising, and so on. And the same thing is true at the other end of the line, in production. Competition is the reason why. to quote the Argus again, “the cracker barrel store has, been transformed into today s miracle market.’’ And it’s the reason our living stand ards are unrivalled.—Industrial News Review.
