the secretary Of state. The PROPOSE
ton of the incorporators is simple
one. When the store is opened for
business the housewife who goes
there for her daily meat supply will
sign for q five or ten dollar certif'
cate, as she thinks best. When she
has traded out five dollars worth, fol-
instance, her bill is footed up, five
per cent is deducted from it and she
pays the balance of the bill. If she
signs for a ten dollar certificate she
gets ten per cent discount.
The promoters Of the proposition
promise that II they can get 300 Gus
toners who will take either the five
or the ten dollar certificates, thus
agreeing in advance to buy five OF
ten dollars worth of meat, that they
will begin killing their own meat
They promise that when they kill
their own meat they will reduce the
price from three to five cents pei
pound, besides giving each certificate
holder the five or ten per cent dis
count. according to the value of the
certificate.
