TURNEDDOWN
BY CHURCH
Merchandising Stunt Proves
too Expensive; Pastor Tells
Chamber Org a niZatiOn--
Wants to Cooperate

Last week the local chamber Of
commerce received a warning from
the state chamber Of commerce
that a new stunt would soon be
tried in this state, and for the
towns to be on the outlook for its
appearance. A special committee
was appointed to investigate the
deal, should it be presented here.
A new angle to an advertising
stunt was found by the committee
in its investigation. The Goodwin
Plan," was discovered. The back
ers Of the stunt work through
church organizations, promising to
return to the church two percent
of the retail price for sales evil
dence Of large number Of articles
in daily use.
The proposition sounded reason
able to at least one church organ
ization and it had been planned to
accept it. Upon investigation il
was discovered that the brands Of
merchandise as listed in the plan
were from fifteen to 40 percent
higher in price than equal quality
Of merchandise in competition.
Thus by paying the additional
costs, two percent would be re-
turned to the church organization.
The plan was outlined in detail
by Rev. Vincent, pastor Of the NJ.
E. church. A group in his church
had decided to adopt the coupon
clipping plan. However, upon be-
ing made acquainted with the re-
suits, the matter was dropped.
Mr.. Vincent stated that his or
ganization took the position that
if a proposition was not of value
to the community or that il might
be opposed, that they would have
nothing to do with it. He said that
they realized that what was good
for the town would ultimately be-
come good for the church, and that
the business interests and the
church organizations needed CO.
operation between them.
