MERCHANTS ADOPT
lliiVEL W. S. S. PLAN
.Thrift Stamps in Change if the Cu
tomers Want Them and One Free
'i _}**. With Each $5.00 Pur-
chase Saturday.
COMMERCIAL CLUB IDEA!
George D. Baur Tails Merits of Pro
posal—Go to Donnellson
in June, Is the
Word.
"Here's your change, madame:
thirty-five, fifty, sewenty-ftre and a
thrift stamp makes a dollicr. Thank
you. Come again."
That and similar statements win
be made by store proprietors and
their clerks in Keoirrffc next Saturday.
Always the thrift stamp will enter
Into the purchase unless the enact
change is handed the clerk.
For May 11 is to be officially known
as War Savings Day in the city.
This was agreed upon Wednesday
night in a meeting of the Commercial
club xnembeirsii±p in the Hotel Iowa.
•Fres" Stamps, T«o.
Besides mafttog change, partly in
thrift stamps, ewery merchant 'Present
agreed to give a twenty-ftve cent
thrift stamp to a customer for each
$5 porcbase.
It will not be compulsory that the
purchaser accept a thrift stamp in
change but it will be' patriotic, the
merchants contended. When the mat
ter was put to a vote, it was unani
mously agreed to adopt the novel plan
of helping the nation Just a little bit
more in its fight for victory.
One Not Limit.
The purchaser need not' stop- at one
thrift stamp. He may receive three
or four or two dozen of them in
change if he likes.
Merchants who were not present to
discuss the plan will have its oper
ation made known by other Commer
cial club members.
George D. Banr proposed the
"change" plan and J. W. Winger the
matter of presenting a thrift stamp
with each $5 purchase.
"AdaP* Contain Notice.
~We can think of no (better way to
aid a worthy caase right now, and
one which costs so little, than the
encouragement of tbrift through the
savings stamp method," said Mr.
Baur. "Merchants shoilld see that the
copy for their advertising contains
some mention of the plan. We want
to give It the widest publicity pos
sible and make Satnrday truly a war
savings day."
The retailers wfll obtain their sup
plies of thrift stamps from any au
thorized agent, the banks, the post
office or elsewhere.
Large Commodities Enter.
In discussing the plan, the Commer
cial dub men suggested that the giv
ing of a thrift stamp for the purchase
of $5 worth of coal or more could be
worked out and automobile dealers
present declared their readiness to Is
sue stamps with each purchase of a
motor vehicle.
The first item of business consider
ed was the taking part in a city Red
Cross parade by the members on the
night of May 20. Upon motion it was
decided to refer the matter to a com
mittee that the feasibility of entering
a float in the pageant or marching in
line might be considered.
To Donn«fl8on tot June.
G. Arthnr Kledaisch told the club
members that "rain or shine" they
will go to Donnellson for the June
meeting. A trip to Donnellson has
bee® twice postponed. "The women
who were preparing to arrange a sup
per for us hang become discouraged,"
said Mr. Kledaisch, "but we have giv
en assurance thut the club will make
its appearance there next month."
The club members took dinner in
the main dining room of the hotel at
6:30 p. m., with M. B. Justice, presi
dent of the organization, presiding.
