ADVERTISEMENTS
TO A
GROCER'S
CLERK

What if the cream of the
business in San Francisco
is done by Peddlers?
Where are your wages to
come from? What chance
have you, unless you turn
peddler?
Three-quarters of the city
tea trade is believed to be
in the hands of peddlers
now; we don't know.
What is true of tea is
true of coffee, though gro
GERS appear to think the
proportion is less. We
don't see it. The Peddler
sells both; the woman buys
both. Spices and extracts
too.
Butter is going the same
way. What next? Is the
grocer going? When ped
dlers leave him nothing but
sugar, salt, -four, tomatoes,
Royal baking powder, Bak-
er's cocoa, Fels Naptha
soap, and Eagle milk, is he
going to keep-on or quit?
There's no money for yo&
IN business strTfted Of its
broJRs.
Our reason for raising the
question with you is this:
We are asking your en-
ployers to join in appealing
to buyers of groceries not
to destroy the business by
buying of peddIers.
Yo~ are a part Of the
plan. IF ye~ aO@nt to be im
ii, talk ssftE them. Wow or
ne0eY.
This is not our war. The
trouble is local;' our trade is
from Mexico to Alaska and
Eaa.
Our policy Is to support
the retail grocer all over the
Western States.

POLICYHOLDERS TO UNITE.
Protective Committee 10 Look After In
terests OF New Englanders.

leTtslb OF Ne" IUNlbnueFNs
BosroN. April ls.-Announcement was
made to-day that the New England policy
holders Of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society Of New York will unite for the pro-
lection Of their interests in the fight now
being waged for the control Of that organi-
zation. A protective committee has teen
formed, and this circular will be sent to-
morrow to all policyholders in New England
The discussions among the officers of
the Equitable Life Assurance Soc. ty
and the disclosures incident thereto make
it desirable that the New England policy
holders shall act together for the purpose Of
advising themselves fully Of the present
condition and future developments Of the
company's affairs and for taking fur
Their action any may appear to be neces-
sary for their protection.
The undersigned who include some Of
the largest poliCyholders Of the company
in New England and are interested only a
and for policyholders have consented to
act as a protective committee.
The holders OF policies of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society residing In New
England who desire to cooperate with the
committee are invited TO send their names
with a memorandum Of the dates numbers
and amounts Of their policies to the chair
man Of the committee, 1911 Devonshire
street, Boston.
The circular is signed by William Whit
man. chairman; Arthur Amory, George p
Field, Edwin Ii. Abbot and Louis d. Brandeis,
counsel.
ono Of the members Of the committee
said.
The four gentlemen who have formed
the committee represent very nearly
81 900, 900 in premium payments for insuT-
ance in the Equitable Jciety They view
with apprehension the quarrel now going on
in New York among parties seeking TO &C
quire control Of the society for purpos,
which it behooves the policyholders closely
to scrutinize. This committee is formed
to watch events and whenever necessary
to act solely and entirely for the protection
Of these who hold insurance in that com
pany.
Mr.. whitman is the president Of the
Airing on NJ Us and member Of the firm
Of Harding, Whitman a Co.; Mr.. Field is
the p ;esident Of the Fire Insurance Associa-
tom Mr. Amory is one Of the leading
merchants Of Boston, and Mr.. Abbot Is well
known as the former president Of the Wis
consin Central Railroad, and an old time
member Of the bar, now retired. a
The purpose Of the committee Is not TO
take sides in any Of the present quarrels
for control Of the company in New York
II antaRonizes no one, but Is impressed
with the absolute necessity Of furnishing
an opportunity for the great body Of insured
to unite for the common protection Of their
interests as policyholdeTs. Louis d.
Brandeis Is their counsel, and the wide
interest taken in the present controversy
viii doubtless result In the concentration Of
those insured who appreciate the danger
Of the present situation and the absolute
need OF union among the New England
their insurance.
