Argument65.The following appeared in a memo from the president of a chain of cheese stores located throughout the United States.

"For many years all the stores in our chain have stocked a wide variety of both domestic and imported cheeses. Last year, however, the five best-selling cheeses at our newest store were all domestic cheddar cheeses from Wisconsin. Furthermore, a recent survey by Cheeses of the World magazine indicates an increasing preference for domestic cheeses among its subscribers. Since our company can reduce expenses by limiting inventory, the best way to improve profits in all of our stores is to discontinue stocking many of our varieties of imported cheese and concentrate primarily on domestic e cheeses."
正文
    Grounding on  that the best-selling cheeses in a newest store and a recent survey in the World magazine,the author concludes that domestic cheeses are better sold than imported cheeses.With the conclusion,and the hypothesis that limiting inventory can reduce expenses,the author thinks it is better to concentrate primarily on domestic cheeses.However,there exist several problems in  the process.
    First,a newest store can not depute all the stores over the whole nation.Maybe people in the area where the newest store locates prefer the taste of chedder cheese,and the taste may not be loved so much in other areas.What is more,even if the selling of the newest stores can reflect the nation’s taste,it is hard to prove that domestic cheeses sell better because the chedder cheese is just a kind.The other domestic cheeses may be not sold better than imported ones.
    The survey of the World magazine may just deputy people of a range of ages or people of a stratum because the magazine is more popular with them and the majorities of the buyers are the specific ones.Therefore,the samples of the survey can not reflect all the whole nation’s preference.And there will be another possibility that the magazine’s survey has a tendency to improve the selling of domestic cheeses for some purposes so that they will introduce or advise the surveyed ones to say what is not they think about.
    Even if it is a truth that domestic cheeses sell better than imported ones over the nation and though reducing products can reduce expenses, we should not get the conclusion that we should discounting the imported cheeses and primarily on domestic cheeses,because the imported cheeses may be also profitable though they sell not as well as the domestic cheeses.It is not intelligent to reduce the imported cheeses which can profit.
    Overall,the survey and what happened to the newest stores are useful to us,but whether we should discontinue stocking some cheese and concentrate primarily on domestic cheeses need more surveys and logical analysis.
