MERCHANTS WITH JOURNAL
AGAINST THE SHYLOCKS
Wilmington Business Men Unite In Saying Loan
Company Expose Best Thing Ever Under
taken By Local Paper
POOR MAN IS BEING HELPED
a ane work. Ke.p q up."

"a fine work. Keap It up"
The best thing any paper ever
undertook"
The workin man owes the Journal
a vote Of thanks"
These were some Of the comments Of
the business men of this city when
asked by a representative Of The Even
ing Journal what was their opinion of
the loan expose.
All Of them are IN a measure en-
ployes Of labor and their frms are
patronized by all classes Of buyers.
With but one exception all were unani-
nous in commencing the move made
by the Journal
But One Exception.
The one exception was the best testi-
monial OF the effectiveness Of the
Journals stand that could be made.
This one dealer said: "The Journals
stand at this time has hurt my busi-
ness. My trade has been largely among
the poorer working classes. They Will
not hesitate to make any sacrifices to
get money for Christmas and your
campaign has lessened their chance to
get money and so they do not have it
10 spend. You should have started 1t
iftcr the holidays"
Where this one man looked at the
expose from the standpoint Of selfish
interest and regretted that the Journal
had lessened the chance to get money
which might be spent in his store, the
others looked solely upon the benefit
the borrowers would derive from the
finish OF this wholesale bloodsucking.
The representative asked the next
merchant what he thought Of the idea
that his store might lose customers by
the Journals campaign He was en-
phatic i'm saying, I'VE are not that
kind If a man does not object TO re-
ceiving blood money or stolen goods
then he will be sorry that the Journal
is helping the poor man..
Merchants Back of journal.
The sentiments expressed were so
hattering that it would seem like
throwing bouquets at ourselves to re-
peat them all IN full.
The representative asked two ques-
tions Of the business men. Have you
been following the Journals exposure
Of the loan companies? What is your
opinion Of the stand taken by the
journal?
Everywhere the reception was most
cordial and. the response hearty. A few
OF the many comments follow:
Mr. Lambson of Kennard and Com
