A very noticeable feeling of optimism
has been created during the past week
by the organization during the week of
the Merchants Portective association Of
Jefferson county. The organization was
formed at Fraternal hall last week in the
presence of nearly 100 merchants from all
parts of the county, having at its birth
some 200 members.
The object of the organization is the
protection of the merchants of the coun-
ty by mutual cooperation among them
selves Its offices are largely IN the ma
ture of fraternal organization for the
mutual benefit of all members. Such
things as professional 'deadbeats" will be
guarded against by this cooperative sys-
TEN. When one man finds a bad custo-
mer who will not pay his bills, he notifies
other members of the association, Who
will then refuse to sell the man anything
until he pays his old bill. This is one of
the instances to serve as an Illustration
of the work the association will perform
for its members.
Officers were elected and will be elected
in the future every year. Secretary
Treasurer J. ID. Brown of Ensley, who
was one of the organizers of the associa-
ton. was designated official organizer and
will devote much of his time In the next
few weeks travelling over the county ana
organizing the merchants of every little
town or village into local branches of the
organization.
