With an experience of twtnty-flve years
a sufficient guarantee of my work .in all
the up-to-date lines of the profession.. ', -'
that complamt
spread and inti
mates that the "delay Is deliberate pol
Icy on the part ot tha trusts rather
than Inability to fill tlr ordei-s. One
dealer Is thus quoted: . - ' -
- I wish to call your attention ta.a phase ol the
trust derelopment to which I hs not as yet seen
any illusion. ' I thick If you wHl iiiVesrisate you
"will find that all trusts make a policy ot restrict
ing production to a point which l.repj them oo
an average orersold from one to throe wrefcs. . Be
fore trusts were formed la. ear business we. rarely
ever had delay In filling orders of orer forty-eight
hours on any kind of merchandise, but now. it
Seems impossible to have our orders on sugar,
alt, tobacco and certain cereal produced by the
American Cereal company fiiltd with any kind of
promptness, end during the past year the delays
have been in iD2ny instances orer three weeks,
causing a grant deal of demoralization. I. under
stand that the leather men and the steel men are
having the eame trouble, and consequently de
moralization, because the leather and tteel trusts
are" oversold In their producuMronTtbree weeks
to-' a month. This delay in filling orders mutt
cause the general business public serious loss.
To a , mere. looker "on in Vienna It
would appear that such conduct un
justifiable and ruthless would raise
up opposition to them. Shakespeare
says something about it being a fine
thing to havea giant's strength, but
tyrannous to use it after the condemned
manner of a giant, a remark which the
paper, va3 u.mns lately with a liter
