he made that s. c.. Brown & CO., of e
u dyville are violating the state la
OF prohibiting the giving ayey of 9
ny. ,icIes as prizes in schemes to wo,
up trade by retail houses. The la
seems to apply only when the reta
ok err gives coupons which. are redeel
es able at some other store. In this ca
GU Brown & Co., have bought otitrig
no some writing desks. They give coupe
10 and certain numbers of coupons {
JUS title the purchaser of goods to one
I'M. the desks. 1t is purely an ADVERTISE

1gs any interest except Brown & 60. T
ers attorney general is inclined to the,
mas lief that the scheme does not viola
IN the state law and will probably
lne rule.
