inducements to Trade.

The idea of community movements
among merchants to draw in new
trade is spreading. Titusville, Pa,
recently tried an offer of free fare
on the transportation lines centering
in the city. Fares were paid into the
city during hours in the morning, and
out of the city along in the afternoon.
be- Funds to pay these fares were rails
ed among the merchants, and those
who contributed were given display
cards to hang in the windows. The
carried big advertise
ments notifying the surrounding COM
munities. 1t was figured that about
500 people day were secured, and it
was noted that all of them on the
outgoing cars carried many bundles.
Any town can draw in trade from
a bigger radius by reaching for it in
some such way as the above. That
particular plan might or might not be
practical in penison. But it is worth
trying. s~ -
