INTEREST Is BEING AROUSED IN
THE STATE MEETING To
he HELD IN MAY.

Much interest is being aroused
among the merchants in the meeting
for Thursday night. when A. B. Hill
ian, assistant state secretary and or
ganizer of the Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION, will address the local bus
mess men on the object and aim OF
the organization and the benefits
derived from membership.
Mr.. lillian win discuss the pro-
tectige features of the association
and win touch on the legislative end
Of the work that the organization
is working and many other matters.
He will also instruct members of the
local association in the matter of CO.
operation with their secretary and
how to procure the best results in
protecting themselves. Mr.. lillian
said
1.-THE Retail Merchants associa-
tion proseeutes no man. but it does
prosecute the dead bet for his
methods in attempting TO get some
thing for nothing and he is listed
In every credit rating bureau in the
state and this means that he will be
required to pay cash for everything
he obtains. A mans credit rating
record, good or bad, is just what he
makes it ana it will follow him
wherever he goes. THIS fact is now
universally recognized by the citizen
ship of Texas and good credit rat
ing record Is one of The most valua-
slg asaass t3sat q mar ean own in
nr any community.
Fter4 are some ! 40 local asso
aRe affiliated 9Th the stat or
zation in all parta Of Texas and
ea local has It's own secretary. All
sofd, these bureaus have some sew
ersl million cards in Their railing bu-
feaus with the Individual record OF
shat number of persons and tells the
aember OF the association how they
pay their obligations Ia addition
TO this there are over seven hun
bred individual members or the as
sociation scattered over Texas and
for the most part located in the
smaller towns of the state. II is
therefore q hard matter for per-
son 10 move from Waxahachie or In
fact any other place in the state
without some one OF the $40 local
secretaries or one Of the individual
members Of the association proeur-

just how he stood in the payment of
