promoting the League very much given going

ness Mems Association for endorsement Of the merchants
present were OF the opinion that this would be oppOrun
1ty to give these women a wel-merted rebuke,
After discussion it decided to appoint committee
to meet with the ladies and explain them owing to poor
business conditions caused by much money being spent
of town. would be impossible for the help at this
time
Being Whoesouled sensible American women the ladies'
readily saw the force OF the presented by the business
with the result that the Civic Beauty League was soon
changed into Buy-atome such an energetic cam
palgn waged against otofown buying that merchants
never again had to complain.
