chester company are women), who
have purchased shares of stock in
small amounts, until to-day that COM
pany has in operation nearly 1000
stores, with almost million share
holders. The United company like
wise intends to spread its stock among
the people in the cities where they have
their retail stores established. feeling
that, naturally, a shareholder, even
though he or she owns one share of
stock, will become a valued customer
of the store, and this will help its sue
cess. In recent years there have been
formed in and around Philadelphia, Pa,
and Camden, n. J., about ten retail
grocers' corporations, and these have
all made money. By controlling
large number of stores. the manage
ment being entirely under one head,
with one warehouse to furnish the
supplies, they have been able to buy
everything in exceedingly large guam
titles direct from the manufacturers,
and are able to retail goods from their
stores at wholesale prices and still
have profits of 25 to 35 per cent
The United Company is taking ad-
vantage Of all the experience that has
been gained by q knowledge OF what
these other stores have accomplished.
This company handles only high
grade, well-known, standard goods,
and does not handle on or unknown
brands simply because they can be
bought a little cheaper. The company
deals exclusively for cash. No one can
purchase a thing from any OF its stores
unless cash is paid for it, either at the
store or on delivery of the goods. Like
wise, the company pays spot cash, and
In some cases advances the cash, in
the purchase of its goods. Stores are
to be opened In Richmond, Va: Nor
folk. Portsmouth, and Charleston, ana
other cities South Of here, where there
Is practically no competition.
A booklet, describing the company's
methods in detail. will. be sent to any
one who win address Mr.. H g. Hallin-
ger, the president of the company, who
IS at the present time IN this city, max
ing his headquarters at the company's
oflces, named above. This proposition
should appeal to those persons who save
money and deposit II In the bank at 3
per cent interest. Every dollar invested
in this company's stores is safe, as this
company has no bonds. no preferred
stock, and no debts outstandinE.

There arc three routes which are
feasible and It is stated on reliable
authority that the directors OF the

Of these routes will be used.
One Of the routes IS from Gallia,
O.. via Huntington. with bridge
across the Ohio at this point. This
would necessitate. or probably mean,
the building of branch line from

The third route Is not considered
a probable one. II has been reported
in railroad circles from the beginning

announcement Of the purchase OF the
