They were unstinted in their praise of the arrangements that had been made to distribute the new red books and the 25 complimentary stamps in each. The particularity with which every point had heen explained in our Sunday advertising immediately acquainted everybody wiih the simple proposition that Merchandise Discount Stamps are the same as money in the purchase of goods at Sixth Avenue’s Busy Corner. It was recognized with equal alacrity that 25 complimentary stamps in each book of 500stamps are equivalent to 50 compli- mentary stamps in ordinary trading stamp books which require 1,000 stamps to fill. But the offer was more emphatically gener- ous than that, because customers were allowed to have as many new books as they desired. Many reccived as high as 200 com- plimentary stamps, while issues of 100 were frequent enough to predominate. Everybody understood that only one set of 25 complimentary stamps would be honored in each book, but they were determined to become sincere and persistent collectors, 125 Stamps Free | in Each Book Staried All This Week That as many as possible may be persuaded to immediately begin saving f y Our Merchandise Discount Stamps we # shall give 25 stamps free in each new f B book, and customers may begin as many B books as they desire.
