The latest metropolitan idea to take
root in Hattiesburg is the s. & H. Trad
ing Stamp
What are s. & H. Trading stampsf
is question that many a Hub citizen
has asked in the past few days.
This question has been suggested
by the display, before a number Of
business houses. of cards bearing the
words: I'VE give green s. G H. Trad
ing Stamps"
Doubt as to what this promise to
give something means will disappear
from among the readers of The News
when they have studied the advertis-
ing columns of today's issue Of this
paper.
Sperry & Hutchinson Company, Of
New York have established an office
in this city and have fitted up hand
some display parlor on the third floor
of O'Ferfall Bros department store,
which can be reached by way of the
O'Ferrall elevator. In this parlor
there has been placed a well arranged
assortment of beautiful, useful and or
namental articles, which are to be
given away as premiums to the hold
ers of S. & H. Trading Stamps.
The local representative of Sperry &
Hutchinson Co., states that this pre-
MUM parlor is to be a permanent
thing in Hattiesburg.
AS will be seen from the published
announcements, the S. G. H. premium
parlor will be thrown open to the pub
lie Monday, June 30
There is undoubtedly in store a sur
prise for those who visit the Sperry q
Hutchinson Company's premium par
lor for the first time, because of the
useful and substantial articles there
displayed, every one of which is to be
absolutely given away to those hold
ing the requisite number of S. & H.
Green Trading Stamps
Naturally, when the suggestion of
giving something for nothing is made,
the careful or initiated at once begin
to shrug the shoulder and to exclaim,
Il am afraid of these give-something-
for-nothing schemes" but VIII <He
s. & H. plan is fully underszood. IN
such skepticism vanishes, = far -
their plan is concerned.
Sperry & Hutchinson CO. are ca5I
talized for $1,O0O,O00, and th1 fz1t <za<
they have been doing an eVer|In1reaz
ing business for the past thirty years,
all based on the trading stamp idea, is
good proof that theirs is legitimate
and regular business proposition.
/ The sperry & Hutchinson plan sim
ply means that by carefully worked
out system of cooperation with the
trading world the trader gives one
} stamp for every ten cent cash pur.
. chase, which the buyer is expected to
, save IN ni' $50 such stamps are accum-
+ ulated hen they may be taken to the
premium parlors and exchanged for
} some article included in the premium
exhibit. Nothing in the exhibit can
: be there purchased for cash, but any
, article can be had for the required
number of trading stamps.
