MERCHANTS TAKE ACTION.
Goods Sent Out on Approval Must Be
Returned in a Reasonable Time.
A Growing Abuse Corrected.

The practice great many people
have, unthoughtedly of course, of or
dering goods sent from the stores on
approval and often keeping them as
long as one to three weeks and then
'phoning the merchant to send for
them has forced the merchants of the
city to take action for their own pro-
lection.
At a meeting of many of the most
prominent merchants of the city few
nights ago the following agreement
was signed:
eve, the undersigned merchants of
Dawson, desire the trading public to
take notice that after this date all
goods sent out on approval must be
returned by the party ordering them
unless sent back at once by the porter,
and no goods will be taken back un-
less returned in three days"
This action of the merchants is an
entirely reasonable one, and should
meet with the approval and co-opera-
ton of the trading public. The habit
some people have of keeping articles
as long as from one to three weeks
and then have the merchant to send
for them is asking too much. 1t is not
only troublesome, but the sale of the
goods is often missed by their being
out of the store.
The merchants are constantly look
ing after the interest of their Gus
toners, and it is nothing but right
that the latter should be more consid-
crate of the interests of the merchants.
