Dealer Says Mail Order Tire
Distribution Is Proving
Unsound.
1
1 The Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company, according to Mr. M. D.
Barrill', local dealer, has strengthen
ed its- dealers in every community
by launching a national advertising
campaign pointing out that Fire
stone dealers sell tires as cheap as
mail order houses and give
value.
"Penny for penny in price,—value
guaranteed by a name that has al
ways been associated with quality—j
Firestonq is utilizing lits immense
resources in plantations, manufac
turing equipment, warehousing and
■dealer organization, to vindicate the i
principle that support of the local |
dealer and merchant in every com- 1
munity is vital to the growth of that I
community," Mr. M. D. Harrill says j
■"The Firestone principle," says)
Mr. Harrill, " is to contribute toJ
every community by maintaini»g a.
merchant who lives there, rears\his|
family, builds his home, pays his;
taxes, employes labor, and is an in- j
tegral part of the community. This
results in distributing in the com- •
munity much of the wealth created j
there. In contrast to this is the mail'
order method of concentration in'
I
some great city far removed and j
yet drawing its sustenance from.
sections to which it contributes lit- ■
tie or nothing. j
"The mail order houses buy their :
tires from a manufacturer who does 1
i
not put his own name on them," Mr. j
Harrill states. "The manufacturer' 1
has to make a profit and so does the ! i
mail order house. Firestone makes its' i
own product, brands it, and sells it. t
through local dealers. Firestone em- • t
ploys local advertising in The Cour-; I
ier whioh benefits the i Community! i
most." i I
