BIG TRADING SCHEME

A decisive step has been taken by one of the world's greatest manufacturing and exporting firms towards the intensive development of New Zealand Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago U. S.A., a company producing a vast number of diversified lines of goods, is arranging for speciai contracts here that will facilitate direct merchandising. "We intend to make available to New Zealand merchants all the advantages of our enormous production with corresponding low prices, as well "as ample credit facilities" — said Mr. R. V. Warman, Representative m Australia and New Zealand, for Montgomery Ward & Co., who is m Wellington for the-survey of the territory. ■ , '-- "We are beginning m this marvellously progressive Dominion after years of success In other, countries." With 400 chain stores m addition to the mail order sales, one can grasp the tremendous manufacturing and buying facilities of the- company. - Therefore, it was a logical — and inevitab'e—development that Montgomery Ward & Co. should own, operate, or control the factories nroducing its major lines. This was accomplished, and the company now manufactures its leading items under its own trademarks. Mr. Warman brought with him from Chicago a supply of the firm's catalogues, which will be given gratis to all reliable merchants. - |
