The merchants are glad
to take up such q system
as this because II encour-
ages cash sales and IL can
not help but improve their
business. A man who saves
money will be able TO buy
more than the man who
does not save. And IL the
merchant Is the iustru-
ment by which the man
begins his savings he Will

II is indeed interesting
TO learn the many happy

knowledge that one really

2h% Discount On All
Cash Purchases.

The new saving system
has spread over Detroit
like a flash. In every sec
ton OF the city and I'm Del
ray. Crosse Pointe and
Highland Park dealers are
giving the Certificates"
which represent a 2h%o
discount on all cash pur-
chases.
The Franklin Provident
& Savings System was or
iginated by a well-known
business man. For many
years he has been manager
of one Of the leading au-
tomobile factories. He did
not understand why the
retail merchants could not
give a discount TO custom
ers for paying cash. the
same as wholesalers. This
thought caused him to try
TO devise u plan whereby
the dealers could give the
discount and still not be
oyertaxed with clerical
work, as would be the case
II the percentage were de-
Quoted at the time OF pur-
chase.

Certificates.
And SO the Franklin Sys-
tenn which Is now so well

One OF the most valu-

Neither Flynn, Spencer, knight,

report that Flynn and Mcbride are the
two men who have already been placed

style, and have seen Schaefer and

this, anyone who can today say who
will be on first base in April knows
more about 1t than the manager of the

That Schaefer, because OF excellent
hitting last season, will be given the
preference in one of the outfleld posi-
tons is taken for granted, but the
placement of Knight appears to be al
most entirely dependent upon the way

The attention of the Com :
mercial Club might be called to
to the matter of draining the
land just south of the depot, as
the Drs. Tamisiea have said
that they would be willing to
allow the railroad company to
lay a tile through their land
for this purpose, and without
cost to the railroad company.
1t seems to us that this would
be the proper course for the
tile, it being the most direct,
and the nearest to an outlet.
