 Journals
Plan Unique As Indueement to Pub
 lie Patronage

That Putnam's Come Back Day and Trade in Putnam Campaign hold unique place in merchandising publicity, is evident from the featur ing 1t Is getting in trade journals.
 Last week The Patriot carried an article from the National Retail Clo- thier, devoted to the campaigns. The current issue of the finland Merchant carries the following writeup of Put nam's Come Back Days:
 Putnam. Conn, had one commer- cial bank, and that bank failed. There was no warning beforehand. no indica- ton of difficulties. Merchants had their money in this bank, of course. Of a sudden this money was no longer available to them. Regular business activities were upset. Normal order illness was routed by confusion.
 "A chain of losses and misfortunes followed the closing of the bank.
 Putnam merchants might have talk en their families and moved away. to try their luck elsewhere; but they did Tt. They stayed and said if Putnam was worth living in before, it was worth living in now Would we de- sert a friend when he is down?' they asked, and they applied the answer to their town in need.
 "A group of men formed themselves into a committee. They asked the community for s150.000 Within a week S200.000 was pledged-and all of it was collected.
 Improvement set in promptly. With two banks instead of one, Put nam was already better of Then the merchants voted to hold a series of comeback days. Sales events were planned accordingly. Stores and streets were made gay with decorations. There was music, and lots of good cheer, and confidence.
 "A Trade in Putnam campaign, to extend over a period of twenty weeks, is under way Newspaper ads are be- ing used. Every business letter sent out by every business firm, bears a Trade in Putnam paster. In every package every store clerk wraps a boost slip is included"
