 The public does not appear to be greatly interested in the return of the l trading stamps to this city. Many people have no love for such compan- ies. for they have good memory. They remember that when the trading
 stamp companies made their inglorious exit from this city they went away l failing to redeem any quantity of
 stamps which had been issued to GUS I toners by owners of stores. A well
 known man met a Democrat reporter
 to-day and asked him to print that his wife was unable to have two books of i stamps redeemed when the companies
 were leaving Waterbury after their I first visit to this city. It is not proba- l ble that any merchant who hasn't trading stamps will lose much trade.
 The people are not going wild over the I trading stamps.
