DEMAND FOR TRADING
STAMPS IS LARGE
Merchants Throughout COun-
try Have Increased Sales
by Use of Stamps.

IN view of the public interest in the
trading stamp and the many erroneous
Impressions sought to he made 10y people
with Interior motives II would seem adj
Nsable 10 state the position OF the husi-
ness to-day and to assure those who are
collectors Of these stamps that the de-
manh for them never was stronger than
II Is to-day. and that the reasons why
people should collect these premium
tokens never were soundcr than they are
at the present time" said a merchant
recently, who goes on to say
'First, 1t should be understood that no
trading stamp or coupon company, how
ever powerful II may be to-day. is re-
eponsible for the success OF this form of
profit sharing. The success zones from
the people themselves, from the women
and the men who have found out the ad-
vantaees of stamps and coupons. and are
therefore collecting them by the millions
and billions every year.
ct has been demonstrated that the
system is based on "A scientific principle
that II Is not merely n catchpcnny affair
destined to wear itself out through It's
own lack of value. But even without
this demonstration he would he a s. uh-
horn merchant indeed who once having
felt the power OF the demand from the
people would seek to ignore their wishes
in the matter.
"Much has heen said Of the so-called
Economy stores. These may succeed IN
some cases. and no doubt they have
some things 10 commend them TO the
consideration of the people. But in these
days of rush and hurry when people are
demanding service and actual salesman

with there was more or less overpro-

factoriy. The piano merchants through
out the country also faced the long time
credit situation. The depression had
the effect of making the latter repos-
scsss many pianos and dispose of these
instead OF buying new stock. This
naturally caused u dulness in the whole
sale business but cleared the retail field
OF lot of bad accounts and brought
the dealers stocks down to rock bottom.
'"rhe manufacturers also pulled down
the time on their credits and the
whole resulted in n general house clean
ing which has eliminated overproduc-
ton and put both the wholesale and re-
tail business on a better credit basis.

 Tt is c we'll known fact that any body of persons can do more than one person can," said Miss Mary Garrett Hay, talking on the achievements and accomplishments of women's clubs in this country. And since women have been federated together as they are they have accomplished things which Individual women would never have dared to attempt.
 Probably the largest and most spec -taculRr thing we ever did was to get the pure food bin passed a few years ago" she said. There is no doubt that 1t would not have been passed at that lime without the backing of the women. The general federation was in E asession- when he Dill was pp before

congress, and telegrams and letters were sent from state delegations to their senators and congressman. This concerted action had great influence in passing the bill. Besides this one big, country wide achievement, some good laws have been put on the statute book of every state because of the united action of women, for the health and welfare of citizens and for beauGi- flying and betterment of towns and cities"
 One of the most recent things which the federation has done has been in connection with the celebration of baby week. Three of the federation depart ments co-operated with the children's bureau, and through their activity moro than 10000 communities observed ths week.
 "As to actual concrete monuments to the activity of clubwomen," Miss Hay said, there Is the establishment and maintenance of a rest home for women of southern California who are mental ly i'll maintained by southern California members of the federation. A free bathhouse has been maintained in Sa- lem, Mass, for the past six or eight years and an evening school for for eigners in Portsmouth, N. H. The Wo- men of KirksvIle, Miss, have had cleanup campaigns, and all over the country 1t has been the same way. These examples could be multiplied more than a thousand times. Each club differs from its fellows, but all work for civic betterment"
 In Bloomington, IT., clubwomen have made the summer playground a perma- nent feature of the community life. In Seattle, Wash, the women of the city federation raised S15,OOO for their start, and the Home and Training school is giving unfortunate girls q chance in life and is training them to be of serY-
