People have long since learned that If
they want bargains they must read adj
vertisements in a largely circulated
newspaper to find them. They think
that the merchant who hasn't any bar
gains, don't advertise, therefore they
don't lose time going around enquiring,
but pick up the newspaper and get the
information at once and act accord
ingly. The merchant who doesn't use
the columns of the MARIETTA JOURNAL,

ing plants on the cooperative plan is
proving Il popular one just at this time
The plan is in successful operation in a
number of cities. 1t has the advantage
OF bringing into us the small savings of
working people which otherwise would
remain idle or to be expended foolishly.
The plan encourages working people to
save portion of their earnings, and
also to feel direct interest in the en-
terprises in which their savings are
invested. Savannah has organized an
