Standard Policy
A
Standard Qyality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy.
Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a
Manufacturer to long maintain a Standard Qyality.
To market his goods through a jobber, a manufacturer must provide a
profit for the jobber as well as for the retail dealer. To meet these conditions
of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to set a proportionately high list
price on his goods to the consumer.
To enable the glib salesinan, when booking his orders, to figure out
attractive profits to both the jobber eind retailer, these high list prices are
absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been served when the
manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured
from the retailer.
However, these deceptive high list prices are not air to the consumer, who
does not, Eind, in reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices.
When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading
but alluring high list prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and
grapples with the situation as best he can, by offering "special discounts,"
which vary with local trade conditions.
Under this system of merchcindising, the profits to both the manufacturer
and the jobber are assured ; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices
to the consumer, the keen competition amongst the local dealers invariably
leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of the retailer are

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. The jobber insists

Policy."
...
The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding
Goods are concerned, and the retail dealer secures the supply of Spalding
Athletic Goods direct from the rnanufacturer by which the retail dealer is
assured a fair, legitimate and certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, eind
is assured a Standard Qyality and is protected from imposition.
The "Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the
users of Athletic Goods, and acts in two ways :

to everybody.
Second. As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in
purchasing at the proper time, the very best raw materials required
in the manufacture of our various goods, well eihead of their
respective seasons, and this enables us to provide the necesssary
quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding Standard of Quality.
First.
and the same prices
—
All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are requested to supply
consumers at our regular printed catalogueprices neithermore nor less thesame
prices that similar goods are sold for in our New York, Chicago and other stores.
All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated
exactly alike, and no sjiecial rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone.
This briefly, is the " Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful
operation for the past 13 years, and will be indefinitely continued.
In other words, " The Spalding Policy " is a " square deal " for everybody.
