THE Trading Stamp craze is
slowly but surely dying out, Sev-
eral of our large stores that gave
out trading stamps have this year
given them up, and are dong husl-
ness on the merits Of their goods.
Kennard a. Go. was the only big
dry goods firm that did not give
away trading stamps and at the
same time increased their business.
To say it was a good thing for the
trading stamp stores is putting it
mildly. Sharp ~ Co., paid them
over $4,000 in one year and John Nc
, Vey the shoe dealer paid them over
sl700 since he first began to use the
stamps to increase his business.
He 1uit giving them out over slX
weeks ago, as he found out that they
did not increase his business in
proportion to the additional five per
cent he was compelled TO pay the
stamp companies. 1t was a good
thing for them and the merchants
Nnew it, but they paid it and suffer
ed the burden as long as consistent
with their bank accounts. The
stamp craze is on the decline, and
it will not be very long before all
the big stores will quit giving them.
