Need of Wholesale Houses.

The suggestion was made by a business
man today. and it may be carried before
the Jobbers and Shippers Association for
consideration, that a. committee Of deter
mined business men be appointed to give
prompt consideration to the matter of es-
tablishing here the necessary wholesale eS.
Establishments to enable small merchants to
buy their entire stocks~ih this city. 1t was
his opinion that these needed houses may
be put in here either by forming stock
companies of, Washington, merchants. or
else encouraging wholesale dealers in other
cities to open branch establishments in this
city. In any event, he added, quick and de-
cisife action Is needed.
In the meantime The Star will make
refunds to all out-of-town merchants who
may come here as buyers and fulfill the
terms of the compact as it appears in the
big black circle in The Saturday Star and
The Sunday Star. These terms are liberal
and are given in the interest Of the Great

meeting of the membership commit
tee was held at Mr.. Clum's office yester-
day afternoon. The statement was made
that the work of canvassing FOR new
members is progressing and that the roll
Is being heightened to the extent OF an
average Of six names day.
Announcement is made that 600 rect OF
space at the Jamestown exposition was
subscribed for by local business men yes
terday.
The matter of encouraging the establish
ment of additional wholesale 1obblng
houses in the District is still regarded as
an uppermost one, and it Will no DOUBT pe
given due weight at the meeting or the
board of directors of the Jobbers and Snip
pers Association at its meeting this AFTER
noon Business men with whom Star re-
porter talked today are of the opinion that
a wholesale shoe house and one that makes
a speciality of hats and caps should be put
in here at the earliest possible moment.
This becomes Immediately important at
this time. some of the merchants declared,
when The Star is making its railroad fare
refund proposition, and while officers OF
the commercial associations are exploiting
the idea Of arranging for holiday excursion
trains from the surrounding country to en-
able merchants to purchase here their sup
plies for Christmas.
