PREMIUM STAMPS.


IOQekA Is again In the premium
stamp business. Fifteen or sixteen
years ago the merchants were fight
ing each other and flguratively cut
ting each others throats with pre-
MUM offerings After they had spent
q lot Of money there was a general
agreement to quit The merchants
were sick and tired Of the whole bust
ness and thought they would never
want to get into 1t again.
The premium stamps concerns have
accordingly. for years. classed Topeka
az bad territory. Now the Crosby
Bros. Company and other merchants
announce today that commencing
Monday morning they will go into It
again.
AS is well known, the state Journal
has fought the premium business. It
has believed that it was not a good
thing for the general business of the
town. but some Of the important mer-
chants in Topeka do not take this
view although until recently they
have been in entire accord with this
papers policy on premtums.
Sperry & Hutchinson, a large firm
engaged in supplying merchants with
premiums has made a contract with the
Crosby Bros. to act as headquarters
and redemption agency for that con-
Germ.
Merchants who have not gone into
the stamp business and they consti-
tute majority, have held several con-
ferences on the matter trying to decide.
II anything, what they should do.
They deplore the premium business
generally and say that the cost Of the
premiums In some way comes out of
the consumer; that it demoralizes
t,a business and that the policy Of get
good one and one that will not stand
the test. -
Nothing has appeared on the busi-
ness horizon which has agitated the
merchants quite SO much as this new
invasion OF the premium stamp.
which on it's previous entry in Topeka
cost general grief and resulted in q
costly war" among the merchants.
While this paper deplores the
change of policy on the part of any.
merchants 1t realizes 1t is business
matter that they must decide them
selves and adopt il. or reject It as they
sea fit.
=. H. Crosby. in explaining the new
policy says:
''Fswas spnes OF Me merchants who
went through the premium stamp war
OF 20 years ago. and I am free to state
that had all wanted Of premium
then. But times have changed,
the premium stamp business has
changed, ana the use Of premium
stamps is quite a different proposition
now from what it was then.
1--WE did not go into this premium
stamp contract without careful con-
We studied it for months;
might say for years. We investi-
gated it personally. We visited where
this company has its stamps in use.
We talked with people who are using
them. and found out exactly how they

go into the thing, and we are going in
FOR all it's worth. We are going to
play the game to the limit
This is gigantic advertising prop
