SAYS NEWS ITEMS NULLIFY ADS
Letter to Newspapers Protesting aUn-
true Statements" on Clothing Prices.


Chicago, Nov. 15..-John S. Capper.
president of Capper & Capper, mems
wear retailers, has Just addressed a.
letter to the Chicago newspapers
protesting against news items they
have been publishing in recent days
as unfair to the retailer. In comment
ing on this action, Mr.. Capper says
he is not vain enough to think that his
single protest will cut much figure.
but 1t is possible that If similar let
tiers were written to the newspapers
by other merchants 1t might have g.
decided effect His letter to the Chi
cago newspapers says:
Your pages are filled with adver-
! Using by retail merchants, offering
bargains to the public, many of them
at positive loss to the merchant:
many of them at less than the cost OF
the material alone
"The retail merchant is In the posi-
ton of not only losing money on his
merchandise, but paying the cost OF
rs to 30 per cent overhead to sell the
merchandise, besides an additional ex-
pense paid to the newspapers for the
advertising to advise the public OF
solutely genuine; made possible only
by extreme distress of retailer or
manufacturer who has lost money.
"All of this advertising is nullified
by news items on your front page,
which would be bad enough If true but
worse when the news contains state
ments that are absolutely untrue.
with the result that the consuming
public are obsessed with the idea that
present bargains are not bargains at
all; that if they will wait still longer,
they will get still lower prices. In
fact, you create the impression in your
news items that retailers are still
making money on goods that are being
sold at these reduced prices.
"If the news items were absolutely
within the truth you might be justified
on the theory that you had to give the
news whether it hurt you advertisers
or not, but when you slop over and
print in your news items statements
that are absolutely untrue isn't it
fact that you go out of your way to
hurt the hand that's feeding your
II have seen in numerous papers
the statement that shirts could be
bought for $3.50 that were s15-as
false a statement as could possibly be
made.
II have seen in the newspapers the
statement that clothes could be
bought for $3.50 that were ordinarily
wholesaled at $4570. II is absolutely
false. In spite OF the losses sustained
by the manufacturers, losses that run
into the millions, til nix I am within
the truth when I state that a suit of
clothes formerly selling at $45.70
might be purchased for $50 or 500.
which is 100 per cent more than what
your news items give it,"

MARITIME Company Concert

One of the best musical programs
ever heard in Bonners Ferry was rem
dered at the Rex theatre last night by
the Josephine MARITIME Company un-

The entertainment was not as well
patronized as it should have been and
from present indications the guaran-

is the case II is not likely that another
attemnt will be made soon to bring
firstclass entertainments to this COM
