MERCHANTS PLAN
SAVING OF PAPER

Plans for an intensive paper-saving
campaign today are being worked
out by the War Industries Board
They will be submitted to Washing
ton merchants for trial, and success
locally will foreshadow their adoption
by other cities
Cooperation in the paper-saytng
campaign was promised by q repre-
sentative group OF Washington mer-
chants at q meeting yesterday after
noon The meeting was called by
E. o. Merchant, Of the War Indus
tries Board, to get suggestions from
those affected by the proposed order.
Discussion developed the fact that
a majority OF local business houses
already have inaugurated paper-sav.
ing plans. and their ideas will be used
in formulating a comprehensive con-
servation program. With an ever
increasing scarcity OF wrapping paper.
Washington merchants are attempt
ing savings wherever possible, II was
declared, and further reductions in its
use will be given full consideration
shOpIEfting increases
The shop-lifting problem was dis
cussed In connection with the delivery
OF unwrapped goods, and special pr@-
cautions will be taken &c prevent steal
ing Of articles sold without being
wrapped. According to Samuel Hart
secretary Of LansburZh & Fro. Inc,
shop-lifting has increased 100 per cent
in the last two years, and presents a
most important problem in store man
agement
Delivery OF unwrapped articles across
the counter offers added inducement
for the Shop-lifter to ply his trade.
Mr.. Hart declared. Use OF \ sticker
to indicate that the goods had been
sold to the customer was suggested.
A similar sticker is already being used
by Goldenberg's and Is q great guccess.
IL was declared.
Among the suggestions offered was
one by Mr.. Merchant, of the War In
dustries Board, who urged a saving
on letter heads. He suggested that
the backs of letters received could be
used for the carbon copy OF the reply.
This method has been followed by
the paper and pulp section OF the War
Industries Board, and has resulted in
great economies.
