ERSLAND BACK
FROM MEETING
OF RETAILERS
Secretary of Local Association Re-
ports Good Gathering; Plans Made
for Putting New life Into State
Merchants Organization.

Arthur Ersland, secretary of the
Grady County Retail Merchants as
sociation has just returned from Ok
lahoma City where he attended a
meeting Of the merchants secreta-
ries and credit reporters Of the
southwest Regarding the meeting,
Mr.. Ersland said:
"The state retailers association
win be revived During the war the
state association died a natural
death. The purpose of the state as
soeiation will be to look after state
legislation Of interest to merchants.
BY this is not meant anything that
VIII injure the public or increase
prices. The main thing is to put a
stop to the issuing Of bad checks en-
tirely. We have a good law now, but
it could stand Il little improvement.
Sometime in the near future a
meeting will be called for one mer-
chant in each town to attend meet
ing in oklahoma City for the pur-
pose Of reorganizing a state retail
ors association
There were eleven secretaries
present from the main cities of Ok
lahoma and Kansas The meeting
was full CT pep from start to finish
The subjects taken up were; Bad
check evil, graft Advertising credit
reports on strangers moving about
friendly relations between merchants
and farmers. cooperative stores,
criticism and unfair charges against
retail merchants by Attorney Gener-
al Palmer and others high in power
Regarding the bad checks and
also credlting strangers who come
to town, it was pointed out that ii
was impossible to get results unless
each merchant reports all informa-
tion promptly; that when a new
man comes to town he should be re
quired to fill out an application for
credit, giving references stating
where he is from whore he works,
etc. Nearly every association uses
such cards. The idea is if a man
is good he is glad and often insists
that the merchants association get
a line ON his reputation Merchants
associations are for the purpose Of
helping the ones who deserve help.
II man has always had good
credit reputation. we are more than
pleased to recommend him; we only
wish that every. man could be SO
recommended.
