posed of NJ Brasch, p. A Swift,
George B. Curtis and Charles s. Crane,
which was published in full in the
Star-Bulletin yesterday afternoon,
called for lengthy discussion on the
subject, number of criticisms crop
ping out here and there. II was the
opinion of the majority of the men,
bers present that, instead of fund
being formed to aid the merchants,
every merchant should work for
his own interests, carry on an extern
sive advertising campaign, and do his
share toward impressing upon the
public the necessity of buying at
lone, patronizing home industries
and keeping money in the islands.
The forming of complaint commit
tee was preached, which committee
would receive all complaints from
both merchants and buyers for per-
iod of three months or more, and
from the information gained in that
time devise scheme which would
work towards the interests Of the
merchant and his patron. One of the
members spoke to the effect thai
many persons in the islands are af.
flicted with the habit of buying their
goods from the mainland through the,
medium OF catalogues, and advocated
that it would be for the best inter
ests of the merchants ii they would
cooperate in a plan to wipe out this
method of business.
