A Profit Talk

It has been rumoured that when a Manu-
facturing Chemist introduces a new line,

Retailers consider they lose sales by stocking it.
Can there be any truth in such a rumour ?
If so, then Manufacturers are cheating Retailers
out of profits, and the retail trade must be
decreasing ! Yet in four years it has been
practically doubled.

In Bisurated Magnesia we have, as a result of

our Advertising, put over /30.000 into the
pockets of the Retail Chemists during the
past year alone ; and remember that is only
one line.

Had we never introduced Bisurated Magnesia,

these sales would never have been made, and
to create an equivalent demand in their own
lines Retailers would have to spend enormous
sums. So much so that half their profit,
if not more, would be entirely swallowed up.

On the other hand, we bear the expense of

creating the demand, and the Retailer gets a
good share of the profits for nothing. Surely
there can be no loss on his part unless he lets
his stock run too low.

Bisurated Magnesia

Mint Flavoured Tablets

We just recently introduced these tablets,

and already they are becoming extremely
popular. The demand is steadily increasing,
and the public are appreciating their com-
pactness and convenience.

pays the penalty of success but wins in the long run.

In the High Court of Justice

^he preparation " Parmint " Was the subject of a motion

in the Chancery Division on December 1 2, before Mr.
Justice Astbury. In this action to restrain a retailer from
passing off as " Parmint " a preparation which was not
made by the International Laboratories, Mr. Frank
Russell, K.C., said he moved against defendant in this
case for an injunction to restrain the defendant from
infringing a Trade Mark, and passing off in regard to a
certain drug which was Well known in the medical world,
called "Parmint." Mr. Kerly, who represented the
defendant, had offered to treat the motion as the trial of

Hethe action, and to submit to a perpetual injunction.

had also agreed to pay the plaintiff's taxed costs. Mr.
Kerly said the defendant had a large number of chemists'
shops, and that the alleged " passing-off " took place at
a branch shop of which he was not in charge. His
lordship made an order granting a perpetual injunction,
and defendant was ordered to pay all costs.

PARMINT HAS WON SUCCESS BECAUSE IT GIVES SATISFACTION TO CHEMIST

AND CUSTOMER. IT IS ALWAYS IN DEMAND, NO TROUBLE IN HANDLING,
WELL ADVERTISED, AND BEARS A PROTECTED PROFIT OF 25 PER CENT.
