A GROWING ORGANIZATION
Merchants Association Of st. Johns

bury An Effective Protection
to Business Men
Having added 60 new members to
its list since January 1 and getting
new business from a constantly en-
larging territory the Merchants As
sociation Of st. Johnsbury feels much
pleased with its prospects. One salts
factory feature of the association is
that it reports on a claim no matter
how worthless it is and it also reports
its collections without disappointing
delay to the member. It's member
ship is now so widely scattered that
its lists of cash customers has almost
a national influence.
The association claims at least
four points of advantage over any
other organization of its kind, viz:
Cd Collection-That the st.
Johnsbury Merchants Association
can collect bad accounts where 9TH
ers can, and where others cannot,
is being practically demonstrated al
most daily.
(2) Protection-Where the
names of those who do not pay their
bills are placed on a list, and that
list is constantly before merchants
attention, bad debts are not liable
to accumulate.
CD Satisfaction-It takes away
all the satisfaction of collecting
bill of long or doubtful standing
when a large percentage of it has to
be returned to the collector. Other
agencies deduct from to SO per
cent for collection. The Merchants
association only charges IL cents
for postage and the member has the
whole amount of his claim.
(4) Education-A strict account
ing leads to business on a cash bas-
is, which is the only satisfactory
method of trade. The methods of
this association make it necessary
for those who are in the habit of
paying sometime to ''pay as they
CO." buy what they have money to |
pay for and not run in debt for ex-
tras. 1t is a good principle of bus
mess education for trader and Gus
toner alike. The dissemination of |
this one correct idea in business
would be enough alone to insure the |
association long life and prosperity. |

Hon. Clarke @. Fits Delivered Able
Address to Voters at The Colonial

A fair-siZed audience greeted Hon.
Clarke G. Fits of Brattleboro, who
spoke at the closing republi-
can rally of this campaign at
The Colonial Thursday evening.
Governor L. P. Slack presided and
there was music by the Consolidated
band and A. J. Markham
Mr.. Fits had a convincing and
logical argument for support of the
republican national ticket and show
ed why some of the heavy contribu-
tors to the progressive fund were
interested to defeat Pres. w. H.
Taft. 1t was considered one of the
best speeches made in St. Johnsbury
during the campaign.

But they are not perturbed over the

they inctine to the belief that a message

CLEANUP LEADERS
TO MEET TUESDAY
Definite Plans for Civic Campaign
Will Be Worked Out at Com
mittee Conference.

The first meeting Of the executive COM
mittee of the city cleaning week cam
paign, which was appointed at a meet
ing Of the central committee Friday aft
ernoon, will be held in the board room
Of the District Building at 4:45 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. This announcement
was made yesterday afternoon by Dist
trict Health Officer Woodward, chairman
Of the executive committee.
There are twenty members on the COM
mittee. representing every section of the
Capital. Definite plans for the crusade
will be worked out at the conference.
Circular letters announcing the meeting
were sent out yesterday afternoon by
DIR. Arthur l. Murray. OF the District
health department who is secretary of
the central committee.
DIR. Murray also announced a list Of
places where the people of the city
may dump the rubbish which they gather
from their premises during the cleaning
up crusade. There are three public
dumps One of these is just across the
Anacostia Bridge. The second is in the
rear of the Congressional Cemetery. The
third is on Potomac avenue, between
First street and the James Creek Canal.
There are Two private dumps. One is at
Eighteenth street and Benning road
northeast. and the other is at Fifteenth
and NJ streets northeast.
DIR. Murray is arranging TO have the
owners Of the private dumps grant per
mission to the people of the city TO dis
charge their rubbish at these places dur
ing the cleaning-up crusade.
The question of the removal of the
rubbish is what is now confronting those
in charge of tho campaign. People
throughout the city have responded to
the appeal to clean up their p; emises.
AS a result nearly every back yard has
a pile OF trash stacked up ready for
removal The city ash and trash con-
tractors will not remove the refuse un-
less il is placed in suitable receptacles,
so that a puzzling problem arises.
Many persons are willing to pay pri-
vate trash collectors to remove the rub
bish. but they are unable to find such
collectors. A list of reliable collectors
will be compiled by those in charge of
the campaign for the aid of the resi-
dents of the various sections. Follow
ing the announcement of the location of
the various dumps, il is believed that
may persons will haul their own rub
bish from their premises and dispose
of il.
