New Committee Organized To Combat ‘Vicious Price-Cutting.’
An Committee designed vicious price-cutting” has been formed by Indiana grocers, B. L. Tharp, Indiana Retail Grocers and Meat Dealers’ Association secretary, announced today. He stated: “This committee was formed for the purpose of inducing the manufacturer to establish a minimum retail price on trade-market grocery items in Indiana. The maintenance of a minimum retail price is not in any way a price-fixing scheme, but an endeavor to put a stop to vicious price-cutting, which is injurious not only facturer and dealer, consumer.” The committee, Mr. Tharp said, is composed of Elzie D. Redding, Ft. Wavne, chairman: Gordon P. Moujey, Cincinnati, vice chairman; George W. Pittman, Indianapolis, treasurer: Mr. Tharp, Indianapolis: Addison Howard, Evansville; Chester Jackson, Indianapolis: Harold Koehler, Indianapolis: D. M. Lochner, Ft. Wavne, and John R.

Sales are to industry what cracked corn is to a chicken.
If you let your chicken go without feed, you will very soon find yourself going without eggs.
If you try to let industry get along without sales, you very soon find yourself trying to get along without a job or other returns from business.
Sales are just as essential to the industry that is to produce jobs as cracked corn is to the hen that is to produce eggs.
Sure enough: — “Sales Mean Jobs.”
