BUSINESS MEN OF
PENINSULA DISCUSS
COOPERATIVE PLAN
EXPLAIN VALUE OF SERVICE

Plans for a cooperative organization.
embracing all business organizations of
the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Del
aware, and upper counties of Virginia,
were among the important items discuss
ed at a meeting of the Business Mems
Association of Chestertown, Md, last
week, at Chestertown. p. NJ. Brooks,
chairman of the organization, informed
George A. Casey of the Wilmington Pro-
visions Co. and Clarence NJ. Dillon, as
sistant secretary of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce. who went to
Chestertown to address the merchants,
that the business men of his town and
also of the Salisbury Chamber of Com
merce favored such plan.
Mr.. Brown said that through such CO.
operation, all business interests of the
Delmarvia peninsula could be made to
work more harmoniOusy, he thought, and
that because in union there is strength.
that it ought to result in mutual good
for everyone.
Messrs. Casey and Dillon, who repre-
sented the business interests of Whining
ton had a very enjoyable visit with the
Kent county business men. Mr.. Casey
he learned that they considered January
and February the slackest business
months of the year. he Immediately told
them they might change the business
calendar, and make these two months
their best business periods.
He told the story of the growth of
Iowa. through raising hogs. and that the
same thing could be done on the Eas-
tern Shore. His remarks were cOncurred
in by others present, and as a result of
the suggestion, a committee was named
by the Chestertown organization, to OBJ
tain further information on the subject
and give the idea try-out.
Mr.. Dillon addressed the Maryland
merchants on obtaining trade. and the
problem of keeping it. He told them
that each merchant was in the same po-
sition as though he was a looking glass;
If a customer came into a store and was
met with a SMILE that it would invite a
smile in return; that if a customer came |
in a store and was met by a grouchy |
clerk or proprietor, there would likely be
dissatisfaction on the part of both the
customer and merchant. Service. he ex.
planned, was one of the best ways in
Advertising in the newspapers was also
necessary. If a merchant advertised
nothing but the truth about his sales,
customers would never doubt him when
he made statement. providing that
they had always found him truthful Mr.
Dillon advised the merchants to encour-
age buying at home, and left with them
some Of the cards which the Wilmington
dealers have been circulating.
The merchants asked questions about
special sales and particularly Dollar Day
sales. As a result of the information
they received, it is expected that such
special sale will be staged within the
next few weeks.
In their addresses, both Messrs. Casey
and Dillon advised the merchants that
when they could not find what they want
ed in their home stores, to call on Will
mington merchants. They found a strong
feeling Of sympathy for Wilmington
expressed by the Chestertown
dealers.

carriers could not completely serve
the public In the transportation Of
essential commodities"
The only geographical area en-
titled to reference under the order
is in the northwest where the sup
ply of coal IL customarily moved by
way Of the Great Lakes in summer
months. This system was adopted
in 1920, though great complaint was
occasioned in other territories, on
the ground that unless adequate
coal was furnished in the summer,
railroads would not be able to han
die enough of 1t in winter even
though 1t could be mined.
1t was expected that the special
purposes classification set up in the
commission order would be the
foundation of the entire price con-
trolling effort of the governments
coal distribution plan, by serving to
prevent cars getting to mines whose
owners did not take fair prices.
