PUTNAM GETS PUBLICITY
Trade Journal Print. Facsimile Ads.
 Trade In Putnam

Dress We'll and Succeed" maga- zine devoted to the clothing and fur nishing trade, became impressed with Putnam merchants activities in the Trade in Putnam" campaign to such an extent that 1t has featured the en- terprise and reproduees an advertise ment from The Patriot furthering the campaign. With it is featured another ad from The Patriot which was run by Milot & Williams making public new No Sale Policy" of that store.
 The article reads as follows:
 Putnam. Conn.-Merchants here recently combined to run Dress Well and Succeed campaign. and also q Trade in Putnam campaign. The Dress Well campaign was fostered by the mems wear dealers and by the shoe dealers, while all business men of the town. under the Retail Merchants di- vision of the Chamber of Commerce. combined to push the Trade in Putnam campaign.
 The Dress Well campaign has al- ready been running for some months in Putnam, and with the stores tieing up with it, it has already shown re- suits. With the Trade in Putnam campaign in addition, it is thought that the mems wear dealers will reap even greater profits from the combina- ton.
 Putnam. Conn, in the last year has had a series of misfortunes, including the failure of it's bank and the closing of some of it's mills. The necessity for promotional campaigns was therefore realized and the merchants and busi- ness men were just naturally thrown together to work out their salvation to- gether. The result has been concert ed effort which has produced results.
 The Trade in Putnam campaign Is one of the most extensive campaigns of its kind, and includes all kinds of advertising and publicity from stick CTS, inserts, movies. banauets, dances, entertainments. Co the regular news paper advertising, a sample Of the se- ries being given herewith.
 Simultaneous with these two cam paigns. Milot X Williams. of Putnam. Clothiers. and members of the New England Retail Clothiers and Furnish CTS. have advertised a no-sale policy to the surprise of all other dealers and the public. In the face of existing con- ditions in Putnam which necessitate most all merchants going out and fighting for business. and has caused many of them to play up the price ap- .sal, this is really startling. The an- nouncement of this change of policy to the public was made in an adyer- tisement reproduced herewith.
