Prof. c. s. Duncan, Lecturer

in Commercial Organization of the Uni versity of Chicago, also connected with the School of Commerce and Administra- tion in the December issue of the Jour. nal of Political Economy" in an article entitled "The Economies and Legality of Premium Giving" gives the opposition to this system of advertising something to think about. He has logically termed premium- giving as "Only one of an in finite number of devices which are re. sorted to by tradespeople in these days of sharp competition. to promote the sale of their goods" Tn this lecture we also find the following bits of true facts:
 "The giving of Trading Stamps is
 simply service. It may be called by a
 thousand other names, but when an-
 alyzed the system Is the expression
 of the desire of the merchant to give
 something for the purpose of induc-
 ing people to frequent his store.
 They grant to the small buyer for
 cash and prompt payment of 30-day
 accounts a discount which the big
 buyer always has received in the
 past
 Every merchant gives premiums in some form other. They may take the form of concerts, theatre tickets. railway fares, fashion parades, picture galleries, delivery service, etc. The Brown Trading Stamps you get do not cost you anything but concentration of buying, they do not increase the price or lower the quality of goods. Merchandise in stores using Brown Stamps may be matched price for price and quality for quality, with goods in stores not using them Competition would compel this; it also sets prices.
 eff discounts for cash are wrong if re- wards for continuous patronage are con- trary to just business principles, then the use of Brown Stamps an aid to busi- ness Is conceived in error. If these two principles are right then there can be no question that business ethics are not con- travened by the use of Brown Stamps
 tPremiums as a cash discount or as a reward for continuous patronage, are not experiments The system has grown into one of the largest of trade inducements until annually over $1 25, 900 worth of standard merchandise is sent back into the American homes absolutely free of cost to the heads of those homes."

Have we accomplished any good. More Brown Stamps issued and redeem ed in this district than any other Trading Stamps for the same period of business. You may now redeem your Brown Stamps in small denominations. get a val uable premium with as small a quantity as 5000 worth. The selection is very eX- tensive and we are sure visit to our Premium Parlors will thoroughly con- vince you of the importance of always asking for Brown Trading Stamps with all purchases.
