Different Corporations-A
Unique Departure.

Des Moines, Ia.-One man, w. j.
Pillkington of this city, has assumed
the huge project of taking full charge
of the business of whole town.
Every enterprise in Dexter, Ia, is
under his direction, is being run ac-
cording to his ideas and the systems
he has installed, and he is entirely
responsible for success or failure.
The task Mr.. Pilkington has as
sumed is perhaps without a parallel
in the business history of this country,
and is an idea so radical that if it sue
ceeds it's adoption is certain in other
communities.
Mr.. Pilkington starts out with the
idea that the application of city meth
DDS is wat is needed to stimulate the
business of country town. He is the
editor of the Merchants Trade Jour
nal and his headquarters are at Des
Moines.
For seven months he will be the
power back of the throne who will
dictate every business move that is
made in Dexter, and if at the end of
that time progress has not been
shown It will be an end of the ex-
pertinent. But if there is a big gain

Lined up side by side. like tents in
soldiers encampment, the cars now
form camp which is maintained by
the Ethical Culture society of New
York as a summer retreat for its
working girl members. From May
to October these girls are privileged
to enjoy all the advantages of the
camp for $3.50 a week.
The matron in charge attends to
the cooking and superintends the
daily life of the girls. A few girls
working their way through school and
desiring work for the summer are
chosen to help the matron attend to
the cleaning. The most substantial
cars stand in row by themselves
and form the sleeping apartments.
Two cots to room is the average,
but If third is desired it is added,
although this makes the place pretty
crowded.
The cars are divested of wheels
and rest on firm foundation. Both
doors can be kept open if necessary,
as well as the windows, thus really
affording as much fresh air as
luOuSh lne 6lllS olSp out VI uOoiS.
At distance another group of cars
comprise the kitchen, dining room,
pantry and storehouse. The kitchen
is as neat and convenient as those on
dining cars. A street car is very con-
veniently transformed into dining
room by leaving the seats intact and
running long table up through the
middle. Close at hand under the
trees stands the ice chest and nearby
cement sink with drain leading to
the stream below the camp. Behind
the cars are croquet ground and
tennis court.
Throughout the clump of woods
that adjoins the camp hammocks are
swung, where the tired, footsore
shopgirl may rest in quietness. Not
the least of the charms of this unique
camp is the creek that flows by it's
very doors. The clear, sparkling
water is itself an invitation for a
plunge and the girls are not slow to
avail themselves of the privilege. The
water is not deep, only here and
there of sufficient depth for swim,
but wading is a delight that never
| grows old.

1t will be up to the town to go ahead
on the same lines.
In Dexter, Mr.. Pilkington is repre-
sented by Guy @. Pogue, and the two
men together control all the banks
and business houses. They spend the
money, formulate policies. superintend
the buying, authorize retrenchment in
some departments and expansion in
others, place the advertising, regulate
the employment of help. fix salaries
and in general show what ought to be
done to boost the town.
Mr. Pilkington has been in COM
mand for nearly two months, and the
early stages of the experiment indi-
cate possibility of big returns for the
courageous act on the part of Dex-
ters commercial leaders in being will
ing to accept plan so unusual.
In the five months yet to intervene
before the contract is finished, Mr..
Pilkington hopes to increase the sales
of the various enterprises so that the
profits will be doubled.
Thirteen business men, representing
all the stores in the town, and two
banks, agreed to place their business
under the direct supervision of Pilk-
ington and to abide by his decision
and his judgment in business matters.
They are:
g. A. Blohm, groceries and meats.
Crane & Son, general merchants.
J. G. Stanley. druggist.

supplies.
A. G. Bryan. novelty and racket store.
II. B. Pohle druggist.

State Bank of Dexter.
Owing to his inability to leave his
business in Des Moines, Mr.. Pilking-
ton has placed Guy @. Pogue in
charge of the stores. Immediately
after taking charge the same business
methods were introduced in every
store and an invoice of stock and open
book accounts were turned over to
Pogue with statement of the re.
ceipts, expenditures and profits for
the same seven months last year.
Sales slips were introduced into
every house, and where they were not
already in use they were furnished
free Of charge. Every business is
conducted just as before, except that
Pilkipgton and Pogue dictate the pol
icies and the buying.
Besides authorizing the buying the
superintendent places the advertising,
