 Paterson's Experience.
 Chairman Lee read an extract from a trade paper showing the highly suc- .Sessful experience with Merchants week in Paterson, N. J. It was as follows:
 AxEressiveiy advertised the Pater- Chamber of Commerce of Paterson. N. J.. exceeded all expectations, break ing even Christmas records. It oe- cured during last week and gave gen. eral satisfaction. Since organizing a bureau of retail last June, the Paterson merchants have , most enthusiastically cooperated and are working together almost as unit for the welfare of the city. From tho l state, the work has been entered into with a great deal of thought and zeal and with the determination that each succeeding event shall excel in every way it's predecessor.
 Every merchant has one thought firmly fixed in his mind. and that Is, l Paterson shall be the central high | class shopping district of northern New Jersey" and, as the Paterson Merchants week has just proved. no texpense will be spared in the light to win this position.
 The advertising for Paterson Mer- chants week was of the highest class and included specially designed car | toons, the finest cuts obtainable and 1 high quality paper for every feature A four page bulletin, exploiting Patcr- son and her stores was especially no | ticeable in that not a. merchants name was mentioned, nor was the price ol | description of an article given 1 It is estimated that the bulletins | billboard ads and trolley car cards supplemented by newspaper ads ir over 40 out-of-town papers, reache6 nearly 100000 readers.
 As proof of the beneficial effects o the event on local trade the merchants point to the fact that the banks re. ported much heavier deposits thar ever before at this time of the year and the trolley car lines and stean railroads centerirg in Paterson, repor the heaviest traffic they have known for long time # | Norwich Committees.
