Promoters Working Standpoint

The following from the Pend Oreille
Review, of Standpoint, relating to the
work of promoters for Spokane trad
ing company, should be of interest to
our readers. tor just as the article affects
Standpoint and Bonner county it can be
applied to Newport and Pend Oreille
county:
Two representatives of the Northwest
Trading Co.. Spokane firm that pro-
fesses to supply family's needs in the
line of groceries or general merchandise
at cost price, plus the running expenses
of the organization. have been making
house to house canvass of Standpoint
homes the past 10 days in an effort to
supply local people with Autographed
sheets of paper, representing shares of
stock which are sold at "only $40 each"
It is understood that there are about six
men working for the Spokane firm in
this county, and the representatives
claim that they are doing good bust
ness, although they decline to state the
exact amount or with whom they haye
placed stock.
The representatives of the Spokane
firm claim that theirs is a catalogue
house which deals only with its stock
holders and supplies them with gro
ceries, clothing and all kinds of mer-
chandise at wholesale cost. The pros
pective customer is given to understand
that he can save great deal of money
each month by dealing with their firm,
but before he can buy goods he must de-
duct $40 from his bankroll to pay for one
share of stock IN the company. No more
than five shares of stock may be sold to
any one person. The prospective GUS
toner is given but little idea of the actual
saving he may make, and, as far as can
be learned, is given no definite knowl-
edge of the financial standing and re-
sponsibility of the people at the head of
the company to which he is asked to
donate $40. Mr.. Representative states
that the company has been organized
two years and has been doing big bust
ness. A man by the name of Gale
Smith, of Spokane. is the head of the
concern.
1t is at least some satisfaction to know
that the greater majority of local people
appreciate the fact that in nearly every
instance such organizations as are being
represented in Standpoint this week are
effected for the expressed purpose of Sc
curing big financial returns to the pro-
motors. The little one-share stakeholder
rarely sees penny in return for the
hard-earned cash he puts into COM
pany of glittering promises. Many such
companies are swindling propositions
from start to finish and the sucker who
gets stung reaps his just reward. The
substantial citizens of this community
recognize the fact that local merchants
are selling at as close, if not closer, mar
gins than other towns of the Inland EN-
pire, and that to encourage the scheme
of the Northwest Trading Co. would be
disastrous to the welfare of the com
munity. Every dollar that is spent in
Standpoint adds to its wealth. Every
dollar that is sent away works detri-

The special levies for various school
districts will be fixed at .0O1 to .UO8.
This is very low levy and is based on
full valuation assessment, the first time
attempted in this section. It is said it
will result in lower taxes generally when
thoroughly tried out:and adopted. This
levy will give Bonner county about $25.-
600 taxes for the year 1911.

1t is enough to start a bank
account with, and if you
adopt a systematic method OF
saving, the dollars will pile
up surprisingly. Why not
adjust your expenses SO that
they will not exceed three
fourths of your earnings?
That will enable you to save
a quarter out of every dollar.
Just figure what such a sys-

had you commenced it five
years ago! 1t isn't too late.
NOW is the time to open the
bank account and put away
one dollar out of every four
that you earn.
