DISTRIBUTION COSTS
MANUFACTURERS' POSITION
Citing the case of a New Zealand firm which manufactured a material for 7s. a yard, which material sold to the public at' more than three times that figure, Mr. J. Findlay (Auckland) argued before the Industrial Conference that the cost of salesmanship, of distribution, should not surely be worth thrice as much as the cost of the raw material to the manufacturer and the manufacturer’s profit. "If arrangements cannot lie made by the manufacturers with the merchants for a reasonable profit,” he said, then 1 think some other means of distribution Awuld be adopted." (Hear, hear.)
