Don't do it, Boyrs9 Don't do it!
TO THE RETAIL, GROCERS' ASSOCIATION:
rmsrjajrw4rxifrv4

When it came to us indirectly a month ago that you were going to undertake to shut us off from our grocery supplies we told you then DON'T DO IT, BOYS, DON'T DO
IT. We told you we did not seek a fight on this TRADING STAMP business, but you have seen fit to enter into it and you alone are responsible for the consequences. YOU
WILL NEVER WIN TIII8 FIGHT AGAINST THE BENNETT COMPANY SO LONG AS WE HAVE A DOLLAR FOR DEFENCE OR LIFE ENOUGH LEFT WITH
WrHICH TO KEEP UP THE FIGHT, and up to date we have several dollars in the cash box and our general health is "fair to middling."
We hear that it has been proposed to boycott the Baum Iron Co. because of the connection of J. E. Bauni of the Bennett Company with that concern. DON'T DO IT, BOYS, DON'T DO
IT. The Baum Iron Co. does more business in a day than many of you do in a year. The Baum Iron Co. makes more money out of its cash discounts than any of you make in your total annual
profit. The Baum Iron Co. stands stronger with its friends and customers than any concern that is willing to undertake to forcce its competitors to break a moral and legal obligation can ever
hope to stand. Again we say, DON'T DO IT, BOYS, DON'T DO IT.
We hear that you have hired spies watching onr recc'rlns: door to spa what wholesale grocers or commis
sion houses are sending their -wagons to us. DON'T DO IT, BOYS. DON'T DO IT. "Your wholesale grocer
friends and your commission friends are In an unpleasant position, not by our fault, but by yours. They are
keeping their agreement with you, and we are having no trouble In hiring all the delivery wagons necessary
to bring our supplies from their places to the big store. Should they find It to their interest to cancel their
contract with you they will doubtless do it In a fnlr and open war and you need not STOOP to the employ
ment of spies and spotters. DON'T DO IT, BOYS, DON'T DO IT. Don't suspect your allies. BE FAIR, BE
FAIK.
We hear that you are sending women to the small stores where Trading Stamps have been given to
ASK FOR ST A Mrs IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY RKPORT the small merchants to the wholesale grocers
and commission merchants. DON'T DO IT, BOYS, DON'T DO IT. Let these people run their own business
In their own way, AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE TRADING STAMPS. If you think they are an In
Jury to your Interests and to the Interests of your customers, DON'T DO IT, BOYS, DON'T DO IT, but bear
hi mind and tell your customers that Green Trading Stamps are free with every purchase at Bennett'B. OUR
WORD IS GOOD.
