the PREMIUM BUSINESS
As conducted by
The Spsrry { Hutchinson Go.
Originators of the
"TRADING STAMP"

No part OF the business world has devel-
/ oped so amazingly during the last hfty
/ years as the retail trade. II is here that
competition is fercest. Every man in the
retail business seems TO have but one am
btion from the cradle TO the grave-and
/ that Is 10 sell as much as he can of what
he has for sale at as large a margin o;
profit as he can get To this end he has
siezed upon every available form OF in
ducement and advertisement Where the
retailer once stayed "on the job" night and
day and handed out modest portion OF
his wares to Mrs. Jones or Mrs Brown, he
now sends his servants out into every cor
ner. no matter how obscure. and compels
customers 10 come to his stores. When
they cannot come he enables them to send.
| The delivery boy has developed into an
automobile delivery system. which later
may become a pneumatic tube The coun-
try store and postoffice has evolved into
/ the modern department store, with its pa
| latial rest rooms and tea rooms, concerts
art galleries. return trip tickets. electric
/ signs. bill boards and costly advertising all
/ designed 10 win trade.
Since the beginning OF time in the buying
and selling business the important thing In
securing trade was the art Of gracefully
giving the customer what he paid for, and
a little more. The custom Of throwing
in" an additional pinch of tea or an extra
apple, the bakers dozen and the LOuisi-
ana system OF '1agniappe" are familiar eX-
amples. So It occurred TO some forehanded
merchants within the last half century TO
give specified articles from their stock with
each purchase Of a certain amount. The
coupon system, which enabled the customer
TO obtain more valuable articles, was next
adopted by many merchants-each mer-
chant giving and redeeming his own cou-
pons: carrying on his own premises the
stock Of goods necessary for their redemp-
ton. The coupons or tickets were but
tokens os the real transaction, which was
the giving Of some article OF merchandise
designated as premiums.
Here is where the story OF the S. II
Green Trading Stamp comes in. In 1884
Thomas A. Sperry conceived the idea oi
an organization Of retail merchants, all o1
whom would give the same coupon and al
Of which would be redeemed at the same
redemption station. This system insured
10 the merchants in one line Of business the
patronage of the customers Of merchants
in other lines and permitted them TO give
a much more valuable article as a pre-
MUM" The coupons were called Greer

a suffering and disappointed con.
stituency.

prayer, it's members should ask
forgiveness for the things they
have done, as well as the things
they left undone or we're incom-
petent to do No large or i'm
portant actions were taken,
while several opportunities to do

plishment.

To work out a. systematic

ling the $1O,OOO,O0o fruit crop
OF the North west this season is
the purpose of the plan adopted
at the horticultural conference
recently held in WalIa Walla. 1t
was attended by representatives
of the leading growers OF Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana. They made a consider
able progress in forming a tenta-
tive organization which was re.
ferred to the separate localities
for approval. Heretofore, the
various districts, all of which
have a common interest, have
been in competition with each
other. Frequently the results
have been disastrous. Some
markets have been glutted, while
Others were overlooked. This
condition grew out OF the fact
that the growers have let the sit
uation handle them, instead o.
they handling the situation. II
is not intended that the propos
ed central selling agency shall
operate in restraint of trade. Its
purpose is to advance the inter.
ests OF the grower and consumer.
bringing them closer together
by eliminating the middleman.
1t will benefit the dealer by re-
ducing speculative uncertainties.

Some Miscreants Throw Eggs and

skin from some low down pole
cat in the disguise of humanity,

act of "egging" the sign at the

petrate SO vile d crime against
morality, decency and good citi-
zenship deserves to be kept III
solitary confinement for several

ment of corn bread and water.

valiantly to establish a public
library and reading room where
any one, who desired to do so,
could go and rest the physical
while they strengthened the men
tai functions from the choicest of
books, magazines and literary
papers.
Only two weeks ago those tire
less women workers succeeded IN
getting the sign placed where it
would guide the weary pilgrim
into a safe haven of bodily rest
and mental comfort.
Now to see the handiwork of
those women besmeared with
eggs is almost intolerable, and
this brings the writer to again
reprimand the authorities for al
lowing gangs of unruly boys to
go tearing around the streets O.
nights raising sheol, or men to
hang around town without any
visible means OF support.
When dogs are allowed to con-
sort in lunches they get to kill
ing sheep, and a good dog form
erly, very often goes home With
wool in his teeth. When boys
are allowed to consort in gangs
on the streets nights, they get
into devilment, and a good boy
contracts bad, vicious habits,
and from such company and
such habits no doubt were grad
uated the egg throwers who des-
ecrated the library sign.

Seattle to the Front

Seattle has finished it's spring
house cleaning, by wedding out
the old political barnacles ard
bosses who have for years con-
trolled city affairs, when a new
reform mayor was elected by the
"recall' OF the former 'slush-
ring" executive. This action was
supplemented by putting in a
new council of nine members
chosen at large, wipiDg out the
old ward lines. None Of the ring
survived. The elements of reform
have a large working majority,
The city has also authorized the
issue OF $S00,000 bond to buy
a trunk street car line which will
be municipality operated. This
"rondelay' Of change drives in
the clinching nail of the phiiosos
piers plaint that "naught is
permanent on this earth," and
that the old feudal idea of "bosss
ism" is rapidly passing from the
sun-kissed zone of the Pacific
slope. Other dictators, in other
towns, should be warned by this
that the guillotine of popular
sentiment will drop their heads
into the basket of oblivion.
