The fight declared by the Sa

against the use-ef-trading stamps
flared up Moadsy-in- the publish
ing of a nal&BftsetfdYertisement
on "fairpUyVwaVjJtonday.
ManarrSiitSekaake of Roth's
Groceries declared after the state
ment held furthermore "I am de
cided in my denunciation of the
ii a nf tradln- atamns in stores.
They are a curse upon any town in
whieh they are Introduced. Tney
consume three "per cent of the
normal five per cent profit of a

His buslnes .would have to in

Business Mett's league is agreed in
denouncing trading stamps."
That stamps attract women to
buy provided that merchandise is
of standard Quality, Is the oplnioaw
of one of the Salem merchants
who Installed them in his store
last week. He made this state
ment following an attack made
by the Business Men's league. He
says that giving trading stamps
is akin to the movement of Sa
lem business toward presenting
customers with premiums and
cash discounts, except that a high
ly specialized concern operates the
awards made for trading stamps.
He feels that increased business
will be an inevitable consequence
of th trading stamp practice.
