SELLING BRITISH GOODS
“The chief trade of the nation at this time would be better expressed if the slogan ‘Buy British Goods’ were altered to ‘Sell British Goods.’ In other words, I would sooner see the producers and the merchants and sales-men of ths country galvanised into increased activity and keenness to make British products so good in price and quality and so keenly in demand (from the excellence of British salesmanship) 'that they made their way on their merits, and not through sentiment, into the markets of the world at home and abroad. Let our producers and merchants only achieve their part of this national duty and the consumer will not fail in Iris. He will buy British goods if the producer and merchant give him half a chance.” —Sir Basil Clarke.
