simply tax on the business commune
ty and nobody benefits to any extent
except the trading stamp companies.
1hey go To q merchant and represent
to nm that giving trading stamps will
increase his cash business, attract new
customers and that it will do away
with the necessity of his spending
money for advertising As soon as
they get one merchant started they go
to his competitor and point out to him
that he cannot afford to try to do
business without giving stamps: that
he mas to give them in order to keep
his competitor from getting his trade
away from him.
In that way. by working one against
the other. they even get an entire
business community to give trading
stamps. The result is that when they
get everybody to giving stamps nobody
gets more trade than they would
otherwise. while every merchant pays
a heavy tax for the privilege of giving
stamps and gets a sman per cent Of
this tax.
when the merchants start to give
stamps and discover they are not as
advantageous as 1t was thought they
would be. it is a long time before they
can all agree to stop using them. One
merchant cannot stop while others be-
side him keep it up as by this time. all
the people have the trading stamp
craze. The difficulty Of getting CO.
operation among merchants in a mat
ter of this kind is well known SO that
ir would be hard to get all to agree to
quit using trading stamps long after

crowded yesterday. He was one Of

all of them as individuals thought
these stamps undesirable.
1t is To- be hoped the trading stamp
concerns will be unable to gain a foot
hold in Walla Walla: but should they
do SO it would seem advisable for a few
of the leading concerns to combine in
getting their own stamps: thereby saw
ing themselves The profits of the stamp
concern and giving the customer full
ly rs much, or more. than they get
where stamps are bought from the big
stamp monopOlies
This plan has been adopted in
the result that the cost of the stamps
as against four to five.
'The expense of giving trading
stamps from the stamp companies is
so heavy that no merchant can long
stand it without gradually increas-
ing his prices. So the consumer, in the
end, pays not only for the apparently
''something for nothing articles he
gets. but pays several thousand dollars
per month to the stamp companies be-
sides.
The fact that practically all the
states are legislating against the
stamp concerns endeavoring to prevent
their conducting their business and
that in every case these movements
have been backed by the merchants
associations ought to be evidence
enough to convince any merchant who
has not studied the matter thoroughly
that the whole scheme is harmful"
