THE MERCANTILE SAVINGS AS.
SOCIATION.

It has been said that there IS notn'
ing new under the sum-" Whether
that be true or not is not for US to
saw. But we can say truthfully that
the operation Of the Mercantile SaV-
ings Association is not only new 10
Baton Rouge but promises to be OF
immense benefit to all those who take
advantage of the savings proposition
advanced by Mr.. Carroll Turner, state
manager of the association. Reckless
and promiscuous crediting has been
evil LONG endured by merchants and Of
pecuniary loss to those who purchase
on open accounts. Not only do per-
sons who purchase on credit pay more
for goods but buy more recklessly
than they otherwise would. And it is
to strengthen the hands Of merchants
and at the same time lower y lrices
to customers that Mercantile Saving:
Associations were established. No
/ onlv will merchants be greatly bene
fitted by securing cash for sales bu
consumers may buy more cheapl!
and accumulate the nice Christina
fund by the depositing Of coupon
given by merchants to cash custom
ers. Several hundred housewives o
> this city have been enrolled by MI
, Turner while eighty-nine merchant
, have agreed to cooperate and st'
they apply in large an rapidly n
creasing numbers.
One must be a member OF the a:
sociation to reap the benefits to
derived and this can easily be accom-
:. ;. plished by communicating with M
|, Turner.
If you are a member Of this ass
y ciation you will save on every pu Y,
: chase made, but instead Of getting u
! cash YOU get a coupon that will

Wouldn't it be possible for some or-l
ganization in this city to provide ice
for the fountain which was erected on
the Boulevard, by the Women's Chris
tan Temperance Union? This would
be an act OF charity to relieve the
thirst Of so many people out on the
streets during these hot summer
days. This beautiful gift should be
more appreciated than to allow it to
stand and be Of no use to the city.
A number of new commodious
swings have been placed on the large
lawns Of the Protestant Orphans
Home, which will add greatly to the
pleasure Of the little girls of that in
stitution.
