REBATE BENEFITS
ITS ADVANTAGES TO TRADE SET
 FORTH.
It is Said that 1Os Business Men of Menfwomery Have Piedeed Sup port to Maintenance of
 Plan.

All preliminary arrangements have been perfected for the carry launching of the Montgomery Rebate Associa- tion and the nnembersn:p is now being made up in a manner gratifying to the merchants interested in this pro- sressive movement to boom Montgom- cry trade. It is said the membership will probably embrace every mercan- tile house in the city large enough to be directly interested in out-of town trade or vitally interested in the well fare of the city. A list of 10s busi- ness houses has been compiled. from which the membership is being solicit ed. All are of established credit and are houses .n which a visiting cus- toner who may be induced to try Montgomery as trading center will be treated in such manner that he will come again. A gentleman who is much interested in the movement said last night to he Advertiser:
 Most every well-informed merchan Is familiar With the rebate system generally, if not in detail. If he has never seen it's operation in a rebate city, he can easily figure out it's ef- fects by asking himself what he would do if he lived within the radius of &C., tivity of fare-refund.ng plan. Or dinafy men,, under normal conditions, act very much alike. The reason all banking rebate systems have been suc- cesses is the absolute fairness of the system as between the merchants every member paying for exactly what bene- fits he derived, and the further fact that they are founded right along the lines of human nature as 1t Is.
 A few abstract principles worked out in concrete form Is all there is to it.. Every trader Is chiefly interested in himself, every man is honest where there Is no indueement to be otherwise, All men act in good faith where per- sonal interest Is not involved, are q few principles with So few exceptions that they are deemed invariabie as they apply in rebate plans. At first glance it would seem that q merchant would prefer his competitor out of the or Sariization. The customer, all other things being equal. can safely be re- lied upon to trade at rebate stores. but the friendship of any influential Tfaer- chant for the association. and his en- thusiasIli for his town. is of more ben eft than other considerations. For that reason, we want every live one in the association. The members of re- bate associations are perhaps more closely drawn together than those of any other commercial organizations. It Is d matter of dollars and cents. If a member can induce a customer to patrofiize a member in another line. he shifts a part of the cost to that members shoulders. Furtherrhore. every man and every institution with A function, to perform is bound by dual safeguards. He will win if he does. he will lose if he don't perform his function"

 Judge Richardson's charge to the grand jury was an able and irnpress- i've one. In reference to the prohibit tion law he said:

 Tt is unlawful to give away. or to sell. or to transport into this county, or to deliver to another.or 70 aid. abet or sell or to act as agent. as buyer or seller, or to otherwise dispose of liquors"

 ft is tn ought that the low aera will drift slowly eastward, causing partly cloudy weather in this immediate sec. tion today with probable scattered showers In the northern part of the State.
 Rain or snow on the northern boun- dary of the states yesterday was due to an overflow of cool air over that section from an area of high barome- ter spreading eastward over most of the Canadian northwest provinces That area of high will not in the least effeet this section.

The Greek. who Is a newcomer in this city. became greatly alarmed and iEfi- mediately turned over to the police the box containing the warning. He believes that some enemy has followed him, and that the box is a warming for him to close up his new place of business and move elsewhere. It is the first instance where a Greek has received such a box or message, although Italians have received them heretofore.
