means of bleeding the local mer-
chants and business men for I'M
profitable advertising.
A number of instances were CT, ed
where outside solicitors, who come
South at this time of the year to
enjoy the Southern climate and make
easy money by various fake adver-
Using schemes, have solicited adver-
Using from local merchants by rep
resenting themselves as being au-
thorized by certain hotels or hotel
proprietors to do so in the name of
the certain hotels, when no such au-
thorization has been. given.
Local merchants wou d do well to
make inquiry of the proprietors of
the hotels or the officers of the
Hotel Mems association if such meth
DDS of advertising have the sanction
of the association before parting with
good money to help along such
schemes and some solicitor TO make
