!Grenfell, for fifteen years mission
airy among the deep-sea fishermen of
the Labrador coast. today completed
his mission in Chicago and left for

TRUST WILL HANDLE DRUGS
Eastern Travelling Salesman Says Pa.
tent Medicine Companies Arc
Behind Scheme.

The next thing We are to lie up
against is the trust drug stores, and
YOU will have your drugs and prescrip-
tons handed out to you for IA cents,
80 cents. a dollar and one cent and the
like-regular cut-rate prices"
Leroy c Richardson, whose home
is in Pittston. Pa, but who is repre-
sentative of large Detroit proprietary
medicine house. has been in this Sec
tion for several days, working the
trade" and he claims that it is only
a matter of very short time, when
the associated drug store will be in
action.
New York people started" the
scheme" said he; although much Of
the money to go into 1t will come from
other sources. According to the in
formation obtainable, it has not the
same backing that started the cigar
stores, although that would have been
policy for the cigar stores company,
for now they will have a powerful
rival. The new company is to be the
United Drug Stores company, and its
business will be the same as that
of the big cigar association, the start
ing of drug stores in every city in the
country.
II talked with one of the promoters,
not long ago. and learned that the
stores would be built just alike, so
that every store would have the same
appearance. One of the first schemes,
was to have day and night clerk in
every store opened, and have every
store open all night, which would be
of benefit to people with night calls,
for they would not have to get clerk
out of bed, as they do in residence
districts. Much of the money in the
concern will be put in by patent medi-
cine people, SO there will be plenty of
it.
"A large cigar manufacturing con-
Germ that is not in the other combina-
lions, is in on the new deal, and win
start engagements of its factory to
supply all the stores with their cigars,
for their cigar departments will be
run from one center, and will make a
rival to the United Cigar Stores. Other
ideas have been figured on, like manu-
featuring their own drug compounds
and this will undoubtedly be done.
Drug stores handle so many things
now that the plan will open up many
fields, such as the manufacturing of
candy, tooth brushes, rubber goods,
ETC., and it would not be astonishing
if in time the United Drug Stores COM
pany would make nearly all the things
they would sell. That, undoubtedly,
is the idea of the corporation, to
manufacture things in which there is
an immense profit, and have their own
retail output for them.

THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

Among the things which congress will consider at its
approaching session is the proposed postal savings bank
You may be glad to know more about what kind of a
bank this would be- and why its supporters think ought
to have such bank.
1t means that the national government, through its
posoces would take Of your savings for you up
$500, and pay You per cent interest annually
Here some of the arguments in favor of the postal
savings bank, expressed by those who wish to it
established
1t would appeal particularly, they say, to the small in
weston.
There many sections OF the country at present
mote from savings banks of any kind.
The immigrant would be its largest patron. Last year
immigrants sent home $11OO0OOO At least portion Of
this to be banked Many small depositor is banking
today by purchasing money orders payable to himself
The government discovered how widespread this
practice when than 100000 worth of money orders
found to have become invalid in the five western
states of Colorado, Kansas Nebraska Oregon and Wash
ington alone. Small depositors had bought orders for
themselves, and had forgotten to cash them within the
year
The fact that the government bank would pay but ,
per cent interest would not allow of it's competition with
private banks.
In the of example, attention is called to Canadas
postal savings bank, which has 100000 de-
post and which has handled savings aggregat
ing $465,000,000.
1t is argued that the foreigner knowing that he has
money deposited with the government would be restrained
and Influenced towards good citizenship.
1t is also pointed that the government proposes to
put the money deposited into immediate circulation
again by issuing it through the national banks located in
the same section where originally deposited 1t is
argued that this will tend to avert money strngency
Finally the government savings bank is pointed to
offering absolute security to the small depostor
These the strongest arguments in favor of the
posed institution
What do you think about it?
