THE TRADING STAMP QUESTION
CAUSED LIVELY DISCUSSION
Merchants Association
Annin on Record as Op
posing Them President
Denton Resigned, But
Association Would Not
Accept.
One of the largest and most
spirited meetings of the Augusta
Retail Merchants Association on rec
ord was held last night, at tho of
fices of (he Chamber of Commerce
with thirty of the members present.
In the beginning President K. C.
Denton signified hlB Intention of
taking the floor during the proceed
ings and asked for some one to oc
cupy Ihe chair. Vice-presidents Geo.
P. Killott and Jos. H. Day were ab
sent and Capt. P. H. nice was del
egated to fill the position.
Mr. John Sylvester first secured
the floor and offered the following
resolution with a long preamble at
tached:
"Resolved, That the use of trading
stamps be condemned as a pernicious
evil and Injurious to legitimate busi
ness, and It Is further resolved that
all members of the Merchants As
sociation refuse to take them now,
or at. any future time.”
Mr. Denton look the floor at this
point and stated that the motion was
simply a repetition of the one on tho
minutes of the association and h«
proposed to attack It. There was
some question raised as to whether
the meeting should go Into executive
session, but much protest was reg
Isterod against such action, several
of the members declaring thrt they
were of the opinion It should be .in
open meeting. It was finally agr«<-d
that this should be the oa" , but
Capt. P. H. Rice asked for tho ap
pointment of a prrfcs committee- to
censor the matter written by the
mem»-*rs of the press present. The
Herald representative at this stage
stated that if a censored report of
tne meeting was made It should
come as the work of the commit
ti> and not as that Of the newspap
er reporters chang' d to suit tho
memoers of the committee and
would not submit to such action.
However, Mr. K. C. Denton, who
was still occupying the chair, when
lhe question came up, sta'ed that h.«
felt confident that the press repre
sentatives would give a fair and ac
curate report of facts brought out
and consequently he was satisfied.
The press committee was named,
however, Messrs. Walker, Von
Kamp and Field being appointed
The members of the association
present fluted that In appointing a
committee they did not wish to shut
the minority report from a hearing,
nor could they prevent anything from
going out In the wav of (Raiments
after the meeting. When this quo 7-
tlon was dropped by the association
Mr. Denton again took the floor
and asked that his successor In the
chair come forward and Capt. p h.
Rice occupied the position of chair
man throughout the remainder of
the meeting.
MR. DENTON
OPPOSED IT.
Mr. Denton said in part: "1 am
going to attack the validity of thol
resolution as offend and as It stands
on the minutes. The Merchants As
sociation was organized for the up
building of the retail trade of Au
gusta and to promote lls »enernl bus
iness Interest. It was dlstlnclv slate i
ihat nothing should be done to throl
tle competition 1 defy any man In
this room to prove otherwise. let
It go out that we are maintaining
this position and our very purpose
Is wiped out of existence. 1 declare,
gentlemen, that you are doing a dan
gerous thing and I move that the mo
tion as It now stands be stricken
from 'he mlnules "
MANY
DISCUSSIONS
There was considerable ngitnt* m
exhibited by several members of the
association and arguments pro and
con were offered Indiscriminately,
despite the efforts of the chatr to
maintain the regular oWer of pro
cedure. An unexpected action fol
lowed this when Mr. K. C. Dentil t
offered his resignation as president
of the issuclatUm. Hardly had ho
made the statement before Mr. Mill
larky moved that the resignation be
refused and Mr. Pteld seconded the
motion. \ vote followed In which the
restgnatlcn was almost unanimously
declined.
CALLED IT
A SWINDLE.
Mr. Von Katnp took the floor ant
made aome pointed statement* con
cernlng the operations of the trad
ing stamp bustness as It was con
ducted here aome twelve rears ago.
i but he was advised that the propo
sition now under consideration was
different and the management en
tirely changed. Mr. Muliarky char
acterlxed the Idea of trading stamps
as a sw Indie, pure and simple, and
Mr Field stated that he was ready
i to back up Mr. Von Khmp and Mr.
Muliarky » opinion of (he matter.
Mr. Ptillgpi declined that he was
|i f the opinion fhnt Augusta i»cr
I chant* might be exhibiting 'oo much
|of the mos* hack qualities and tug
! vested Investigation "If It's a good
thing." he said, let u* have It and
I I! It * a bad thing and aome want to
gallop Into tt, Jet cm go.**
However, the suggestion of Mr
Phllpnt was not very favorably re
cetved and Mr Von Kamp wa* ask
ed by one favoring the trading s-amp
proposition what action he would
take In the event one of hi* largo
competitor* Inaugurated the scheme.
I weu'.d have them as sure a* the
sun rises tomorrow morning,” hd de
dared.
Mr Denton took the floor ou the
question with a limitation of two
minute* and he made a clear and
concise statement of h's position h;.
i declaring that be could not consist
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
ently endorse the resolution as it
stood and consequently could not
consistently act as president of the
Retail Merchants Association anil
that sooner or later his resignation
would have to become effective.
Mr. Fred Speth outlined the course
being taken by the largest dealers
all over the country In regards to
the trading stamp proposition and
he stated that every city around Au
gusta was Inaugurating the method
of attracting trade, which was legi
timate and highly endorsed by the
leading firms of the country.
Much discussion followed this
statement and amid the talk a call
was made for the question. A vote
was taken on the resolution offered
by, Mr. Sylvester and Captain Rice,
presiding, declared the resolution
duly carried and called for a motion
to adjourn. The meeting ended in
this way and by the action taken
simply reiterated the position already
held against, trading stamps.
