Trying to Do Business Without Mod.

That beautiful meat store in the
heart Of Chicago's shopping center
which was established to eliminate
modern charges on merchandising and
thus sell at lower prices ran its brief
career. And yet the trial Of about
eight months was long enough to at
ford a convincing test
In brief. the attempt was to estab-
lish practically the old time market,
such as still holds favor in some cities,
chiefly in the south. where the pro-
Queer and the consumer meet without
middlemen and market basket and
q purse are the essentials to the even
ing dinner. The telephone order, the
free delivery and the credit system
were eliminated from the Chicago ex-
pertinent
Goods Of quality attracuvely display
ed at reasonable prices characterized
this venture. These are essentials Of
successful merchandising. The open
ing was encouraging. but the new wore
OF soon.

big department stores. the greatest re-
tail merchandising establishments in

Some cities yet maintain the old
time market places. and the family

basket aboard. joys down to market
daily or twice weekly. and the con-
sumner trades directly with the pro-
Queer. but the atmosphere of Chicago
does not seem agreeable to that form

splendid public market place a few
years ago. 1t is now manufacturing

Any proposition involving the
element Of chance in connection
with the awarding Of prizes in
which a consideration is requir-
ed Of contestants. The constit-
uent elements Of a lottery or
other scheme Of chance as de-
fined by tho authorities are ~
consideration, (2) chance, (3)
prize.


And here are two cases and two de-
cisions. You may take your pick with
out any fear of coming under the ban
of the United States laws.
A certain newspaper out west Of
fered some gold coin prizes for win
ming numbers on calendars sent out by
it through the mails. 1t asked for the
purchase Of its daily issue for seven
days at a cost of 10 cents. Then if
the number on a calendar correspond
ed with number printed at the top
of the first page Of the paper each day
the fortunate holder could trip lightly
to the newspaper Office and get any
where from IS to $50 in shining gold
coin.
The postal authorities promptly leap
ed into the middle Of that contest and
brought it to quick close. The legal
talent employed by the newspaper
maintained that the first element Of a
lottery. consideration. was missing.
inasmuch as subscribers were buying
the paper and not chance in the
drawing
Finally. however. 1t was decided that
there was consideration In the work
done by contestants IN advertising the
paper and by personally carrying the
winning calendars to the Office for re
demption.
A shoe merchant in Denver placed
a piano conspicuously in his show win
dow and advertised 1t In the newspa
pers and by letter.
Every customer registering at the
store or sending a stamped and self
addressed envelope received num-
bered card which entitled him to
thance In the drawing.
The supreme court of Colorado held
mat there was no consideration paid
for the card and hence the scheme was
not lottery.
The court adds:
1.-THE fact that such chance or card
given away to induce persons to visit
their store with the expectation that
they might purchase goods and there.
by increase their trade is a benefit too
remote to constitute a consideration
for chance"
Here are two rulings on the question

Washington suburbanites Offered
Prizes For Best Looking Homes.
The Suburban Citizens association

The president of the association has
announced that 1.-The basis of competi

The exterior appearance Of the

of the factors in the competition.

by sending out thousands of pieces Of
Autograph and printed matter in the
systematic way it has been done by
the Commercial Club, it entails an
expense reaching several thousand
dollars and the only way to raise the
money is by subscription.
When you ask the average business
man to give his time to this work he
demurs of course as he is contribut-
ing and he thinks that is enough so
the Commercial Club has decided to
raise some additional money by the
sale oftickets which will give special
oourtesies to those who buy them and
will assure them that they will not be
run over by the crowd which will be

necessary to enclose the actual Avia-
