WHAT THE WORKING MAN WANTS, VALUE.
WHEN one man employs another, what does he expect in return tor his money? Nothing more or less than Value. And what does every Worker of this Dominion expect for services rendered; what object has this paperin view; what are your "Unions for? The same thing—Value. A part of the Working Man's creed is, so we understand, "You support mc, and ITI support you. Again, you won't take eighteen shillings for a so\ ereign or even nineteen; no, it must be twenty. You wouldn't refuse twenty-one, twenty-two, or twenty-three. "No-ie*url VVhyr x>ecuuee you are getting more than the Standard Value. We don't mean to say we can give you in hard cash twenty-five shillings for a sovereign, but we can give its equivalent in household Drapery, Men's Cxothmg, etc. It is recognised by hundreds that we give absolutely the Best Vaxue in the trade. We are amongst you, in Sydenham, and have been tor twenty odd years. We know what you want. We have got it —Value above the Standard. Not cheap and nasty. Sometimes value is not recognised" As a rule, people do not examine closely, therefore miss opportunities. You remember the wager between two gentlemen. The bet was that one could not sell sovereigns on London Brioge lor one shilling apiece. 'X'ney tried it. Xtesuit —seller never made a sale. Moral —Don't make the fatal mistake of saying: "They axl say the same."
