ADOPTING REBATE PLAN.
Topeka Merchants VIII Try to Stimu-
late Country Trade.

Topeka merchants are beginning 10
| take hold of the rebate system for
| Systematically paying the car fare OF
out of town customers. with a vim. 1t
| is said to be a certainty that the plan
will be in operation in Topeka within a
| few weeks.
John S. CresweII. the expert WIN
has the work in charge here, reports
unexpected success. In a statement
made the State Journal today. Mr..
Cresweu said:
THE rebate system as a factor in
the business life of this community is
now assured. The matter of paying
the railroad fare of all visitors who
come to Topeka to spend their money
has been widely discussed by the bust
ness element for some months and has
resulted i'll a practical unanimity of
sentiment in favor of the introduction
of the system.
There are two forms of the rebat :
system in operation in this country.
One is known as the Creswen system
which is based on the theory of CO.
operation by the entire business COM
munity for the common good, and in
which all business houses who wish
to cooperate are admitted to member
ship. This system is handled by a
bank or banks, the MERCHANTS only du-
ties being to sell goods and enter sales
in rebate books upon request. All pay
ments of rebates are made by the
bank during banking hours, and by an
agency of the bank at other hours.
The cost under this system averages
slightly in excess of per cent, while
the maximum possible cost is Per
cent. Under this system fares will be
paid from any point on earth If the
shopper only spends money enough.
''The other plan is known as the
wild cat system. Under the plan only
city merchants participate, and fares
are paid only 40 miles. The term wild
cat arises from the fact that the theory
is to pay such fares where shopper
spends as much as $50 In some In
stances the tax on it's members rises
to 10 and IL per cent in exceptionol
cases. Even the average cost in some
wears has exceeded 5 per cent
Among other contracts closed up
during the day, was one with the Bank
of Topeka to pay the rebates to QUE Of
town customers, and to collect the PRO
rata held from the various members.
