In other words, when the man- ufacturer whose goods you carry comes into your local newspaper with his advertising, join the “get busy brigade.” Say to yourself: “The public is going to be interested in these goods. 1 must let them know they can be got at my store.” Show them. Be “Window-wise!” The public likes to trade with a man who supplies what §t wants. It is always willing to pay fair profits for fair service. Put ‘“operate” in co-operate and you will be the man who put the “cash” in “cash register.” 1f any manufacturer who is in- terested in co-operative adver- tising will address the Bureau of Advertising, American News- paper Publishers Association, World Building, New York, it were sent from here on a special train in charge of a number of deputies will be glad to answer questions. Miss Julia Coe of Groton is V]flfi-flll Details. Fifty of the live business men of the city responded to a call for a meeting at the Board of Trade rooms in the| Shannon building at 4 o'clock Friday | afternoon and heard a plan for co- operative effort unfolded which had for one of its chief objects the, bring- ing into Norwich the people of the district for which Norwich is a nat- ural trading center. This was to be accomplished by what might be called a “merchants’ week,” to be carried out i at some date later to be determined upon, when there will be special in- ducements offered to make it at{ractive for people to come here. . - The one definite inducement discuss- ed at this meeting was a plan to rebate their railroad fares to people who come and buy in Norwich stores in the spe- cial week. 2 James C. Macpherson introduced the subject of the meeting, saying that this was a call for a get-together movement on the part of business men and the suggestions to be made would be in the line of increase of business, and he enlarged upon the value of co- operation which could bring the results in trade that ought to come to Nor- wich as the natural trading center for 50,000 people. Reports from Holyoke, Springfield and Providence, where the plan had been tried, had all beep of the great success of this plan to stim- uiate business. It had all been done without expense to the business men of the cities which had experienced its benefits. The plan was one that might be repeated in one season after another and also more than once in a sea- son, and serve as a stimulator of busi- ness whenever it was put into opera- tion. This was to be a united effort to get in outside business. President Maepherson introduced Chairman John M. Lee of the adver- tising committee to speak upon a sug- gested plan. Mr. Lee explained that it was the plan te rebate their railroad fares to People whose purchases amounted to enough to entitle them to a rebate, and that purchases would not all have to be made at the same store, but that it was the plan to have a general clear- ing house where they might turn in their rebate checks which they would receive at the time of making pur- chases and they would receive their fare rebate at the clearing house. For instance, if a person from New Lon- don bought goods te the amount of $8 I Gathering of Business Men Vote For Plan to Demonstrate Norwich as a Traditg Center—To Bring in People From Surrounding Territory—Committee of Ten to Work Out that would be enough te entitle him 1o a rebate of 40 cents, which would be his carfare and if coming from Jew- ett City it would take a $6 purchase, not necessarily all in one place, to en title him to the 30 cent rebate. He suggested that the general clearing house might be located in some cen- tral point, possibly the lobby of the Norwich Savings society. At the end of the week all the merchants would take their duplicate rebate slips to the clearing house and settlement would be made that way so that those mer- chants who got the business would be the ones to settle for their own partic- ular benefits. He said he had reason to believe that The Norwich Bulletin would render all reasonable aid to the. endeavor and that its help would be invaluable because of its wide circu- lation in the territery from which peo- ple might be expected to come. As far as individual advertising, everybody would pay for his own. It might be that The Bulletin would get out a special supplement. The time for this effort he thought would be in the spring. William F. Hill added the informa- tion that the population in a radius that would include New London and Danielson would be 163,000. President Macpherson spoke of ad- vertising plans which might be used and of illumination of the streets, pub- lic entertainments and other features that could be worked out, Samuel Kronig spoke in favor of the cooperative plan and its promise of big success in bringing a big crowd of people to Norwich from the out- lying territory, and Secretary Tibbitts spoke of what had been done in beau- tifying Los Angeles for a fashion week when the store windows were all at- tractively decorated and opened up at a time agreed upon. The following committee was ap- pointed by Mr. Macpherson, after the meeting had voted approval of the plan: John M. Lee, H. R. Branche, Will L. Stearns, J. D. Rough, William Cru hanks, W. A. Somers, Joseph Marchessault, Herbert B, Cary, Samuel Kronig, William T. McGarry, D. T. Shea. President Macpherson made the an. ouncement that State Tax Commis- ioner Corbin would be here for the annual meeting of the Board of Trade next Tuesday evening as the speaker and he invited all to be on hand to hear him. -he lcww,mmnwwflt.

ANTI-TRUST BILLS LIKELY TO BE ALTERED. | Hearings on Four of Them Before Go- i ing to Congress. ‘Washington, Jan. 23.—The anti-trust | legislative programme as outlined in | bills made public yesterday is not the last word in proposed remedial legis- lation to regulate big business. That | the tentative measures submitted may be altered or extended was emphasized today in both branches of congress, and the president 1t it be known that he did not conmsider that the forms of the bills drafted were closed. Pursuant to the purpose of admins- tration leaders to consider the subject thoroughly, the house judiciary and senate interstate commerce commit- tees decided not to introduce at this time the measures relating to inter- locking drectorate prohibition, defini- tions of restraints of trade and specifi- cation of “cutthroat” competion. Hearings are to be held before the bills go to congress. The interstate trade commission bill, introduced yesterday, will be taken up next week by the house interstate and foreign commerce committee, which may see fit to alter the provisions suggested by the judi- ciary sub-committee, and Senator Newlands, chairman of the senate in- terstate commerce committee. The fifth of the proposed bills—that to au- thorize federal regulation of raitroad securities—probably will not bet drawn for several weeks. As a basis for this | measure, however, a bill introduced some time ago by Representative Adamson of Georgia probably will be taken up. | } COMMISSIONER CHANDLER FINDS HE TALKED TOO MUCH. Has Told Inquirers More About Com- pensation Act Than Was Really Proper. George B. Chandler, compensation | commissioner for the First district, said { Friday that in the future he should| greatly curtail, if not entirely discard, | his custom of answering questions, either in letters or orally, concerning the construction of the compensation act. “In © common with the other com~- missioners,” sald Mr. Chandler, “I have gone beyond the limits of dis- cretoin, if not propriety, in my efforts to make this act clear to the public. The commissioners. have even an- swered questions - concerning the in- terpretation of the act in public ad- | dresses. Accidents are being reported every day in large numbers. Claims | will be maturing and hearings called for in the nmear future. I therefore feel that it is not only unwise, but improper for me to continue my past practice. I am receiving letters ev- ery day from employers and em- ployes inquiring concerning the ap- pltcation of the law to a specific in- jury already sustained. Within a month I may find myself presiding at a hearing and rendering a decision up- | on some of these very cases.” | Mr. Chandler says that he will be perfectly willing in the future to an- swer questions relative to procedure, but a hard and fast line must be| drawn between those of procedure and | of construction and fact. TAKES MANAGEMENT OF WHOLESALE GROCERY HOUSE | | J. D. Haviland Succeeds Noah Rogers, | Jr.,, at Stoddard & Gilbert’s. Joseph D. Haviland, for a number of | years commercial traveler for the Aus- | tin, Nichols company, is to assume the duties of manager of the whole- sale grocery business owned by that company and operated under the name | of Stoddard, Gilbert & Co, succeeding Noah Rogers, Jr, who has held the position for the past 12 years. Mr. Rogers has tendered his resignation from the concern, of which he has been | manager for 12 years, to take effect! Feb. 1. Previously Mr. Rogers was a salesman for the Worcester Salt com- pany and resided in Bridgeport. He has built up the present successful business of the concern which he is ieaving. Mr. Rogers' resignation is regretted by many friends. Although he has several offers under considera- tion, he has not laid definite plans for | the future. SKATING IS GOOD. i | Inches of Smooth Ice Attracts Skaters to the Park. The last thaw and rain followed by | {a return to freezing weather has put { the skating ponds In fine shape with a { good glib surface on the ice and it is all of reasonably safe thickness so that there promises to be big crowds on the ponds today. At _the Mohegan park, Superintend- ent John Duff said on Friday the ice was 9 inches thick on the big pond and about 9 1-2 inches on the small pond and the surface was fine for | skates. | There were many skating in the park on Thursday and Friday and the pros- pects were for much larger gatherings of skaters today and Sunday.

Judge Burpee presided at a short cal- endar session of the superior court here on Friday morning at which the following matters were disposed of: In the divorce suit of Byron J. Noy vs. Minnie F. Noyes, an allowance of $35 to defend was ordered to be paid by Mr. Noyes to Mrs. Noyes before ieb. 20th and he was also directed, on motion for alimony pendente lite, to pay the sum of $5 per week from Feb. 20th. Foreclosure judgment per stipulation was given in J. Arthur Atwood, trus- tee, vs. Ansel A. Beckwith. The amount of the judgment is $9,034.96, including principal, interest and taxes, and the real estate involved is the property known as the Kenyon build- ing in this city, which had a first mort- gage for $10,000 on it, on which $2,060 has been paid off. The first Tuesday in April is made the limit of redemp- iion. A week later to redeem in each case is given to Receiver Murray of the First ional bank and Lucius B. Morgan, o respectively hold mort- gages on the property for $5,000 and $2,000. A motion for bonds for prosecution was denied in Joseph D. Harris vs, John Donovan. Judge Burpee took the papers after the argument of a motion to expunge in George D. Sitler vs. American Strawboard Co. Answer in two weeks or default was ordered in the divorce case of Johan- na Paracenti vs. John Paracenti. In the divorce suit of David Feuer of Bridgeport vs. Fanny Green Feuer, the plaintiff was allowed to amend his complaint by agreement of counsel, but two other motions in the case went off. They were for the revoking, va- cating or modifylng of an order re- quiring plaintiff to pay alimony pen- dente lite, and an argument of de- murrer (o plaintiff’s plea in abate- ment. The court gave judgment in accord- ance with court in the case of William H. Allen and Frank L. Woodard, trustees under the will of Lerenzo Blackstone, vs. John T. Almy, executor, and others, in | which suit was brought to determine the construction to be placed upon the will of Lorenzo Blackstone of this city. It is understood that the disposition of $200,000 was involved in the supreme court, that the lLorenzo Blackstoue estate, now in the hands of the two trustees, Mr. Allen ana Mr. Woodard, should be divided by the trustees into four equal parts and one part turned over to each of the fol- lowing parties: To Mrs. Harriet B. Camp, to Wallace S. adminis- 1 rafford tor of the J. D Blackstone ate, to_John T. Almy, executor of the will of Willlam N. Blackstone, and to Willilam H. Allen, administrator of the Louis L.
