PREMIUM EVIL IS
RAPED BY KIRBY


he termed the evil of trade premiums
and trading stamps.
Henderson Gilbert, president of the
Chamber presided, and previous to
the address recited at some length
the activities of the organization dur
ing the past few months and outlined
plans for summer work to be inaug-
urated with the annual outing to be
held in June and which will be con-
cluded with the great municipal cele-
bration near the close of warm
weather.
Mr.. Kirby was introduced by ]. w.
Bowman, of Bowman & Co., and was
warmly greeted when in his introduc-
ton he said he foresaw prosperous
days ahead If business is permitted to
go its way unhindered by obstructive
influences.
Business Must Organize
1T is a remarkable fact that the
most important interest in the country
business, especially retail business, is
so poorly organized" said Mr.. Kirby
IF business is to enjoy it's full meas
ure of the prosperity that is in sight it
must organize in order to protect itself
against adverse legislation and unfair
methods of merchandising which on
their part are thoroughly organized.

the worries that have hampered him
in the past through the fear of what
Congress or State Legislatures might
do in trying to control or govern the
business of the country by rigid and
unreasonable and unjust laws.
"a case in instance is the Stevens
Price Maintenance bill which certain
manufacturers and parties at interest
sought to have passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress. This bill would per-
NIT the manufacturer to set the price
at which the merchant would be com
PEELED to resell his goods"
Is Against Premiums
About the worst practice that OF
late years has crept into certain lines
of business, he continued, fs the pack
ing in merchandise by the manufac-
turer of premium certificates. Such
schemes are contrary to all business
ethics and compels the retailer to sell
merchandise plus some so-called profit
sharing premium. etc, against his
wishes. These certificates are supposed
to represent and be redeemable for
articles. which article. therefore, the
merchant indirectly sells. although he
receives no profit on this sale. In fact,
he is directly competing with him
