Its annual banquet In the Odd Fel
lows. Hall, with about 75 business
men present. Chas. B. Merrick, sec
retary of the Retail Grocers' asso-
retary of the Retail Grocers' organ
ization, spoke Interestingly on the

avil as represented by programs, ho
tel registers, . etc, and said that
many of the merchants organiza
tions were profiting much by taking
united action wiLh reference to all
such schemes. He said that dur
ing a period of eight months the
Medford business) men bad saved
themselves $8,000 by standing to
gether and turning down the fake
schemes offered. Corvallls and other
towns had shown similar results.

eral use of the local newspapers In
advertising, and showed the great
lose resulting to every merchant who
tried to outdo his competitor by put
ting out calendars and other ad
vertising novelties.
He also suggested the manner In
which newspaper advertising should
