The tendency lately has been tor | the manufacturer to swing back to | the jobber, instead of trying to sell direct to the dealer. The Jobber gets from 6 to 30 per cent., depending upon the line of business, yet the manufacturer has found in many cases that it is better for him to sell to the jobber, instead of trying to Why? i In the first place, the manufactur- er makes a slash in his own ex-| penses. For instance, he ships out a few large packages to the jobber, | where formerly he had a countless | number. He only needs a few sales- | men, and instead of having a large, | expensive credit department, ner-| haps one man can keep in touch with | the jobbers. There fs another factor, too, be-| sides expense, which is important. The jobber gives him a steady de- | mand, the year round, because he! can judge the seasons in his locality | and put in orders in advance.
