EVMIKG LBDG-BK PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY MAY 27,
TRADING STAMPS ARE
DOOMED, SAYS OFFICER
OF LARGE SYSTEM
Executive of Important
"Chain" of Stores Be
lieves Housewives Are
More Interested in Sav
ing Cash Than 'Coupons.'
Trading stamps nnd "proflt-sharlnff"
coupons nie relics of the past, They have
no place In modern business, In the
opinion of executives of n compnny oper
ating 250 grocery stores In this city nnd
150 more In nearhy places in Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey.
Why this company has abolished stamp-
giving nnd why It has adopted tho revo
lutionary policy of closing Its establish
ments between 1 nnd 2 o'clock every
afternoon ns well as why It has abandoned
alt sldownlk displays of Its goods, nre some
of the things one learns If he gots "In
side" facts from the executive ofllccs of
such a chain of retail stores. Tho rea
son behind tho radical abolition of stamps
Is, according to the vice president nnd
tho treasurer of the company which re
cently mado the change:
"People pay more attention to the cost
of living than they used to.
"Giving stamps In huge quantities with
certain hinds of merchandise confuses the
purchaser as to Just what ho Is paying
for his goods.
"Housekeepers are more anxious to save
money than to save stickers.
"Tlieso principles are at the bottom of
tho elimination of the little coupons. In
their day the coupons were as necessary
as they are now objectionable," the execu
tives will tell you. "What ruined the
practice was that Instead of giving one
stomp with each 10 cents worth pur
chased, as In the early days of stamps,
some dealers began to give many more
stnmps with certain goods. The cub
tomer wns deceived as to what Bho was
really paying.
"There were advantages to the con
sumer undor the old plan, of course, but
nowadays they aro outweighed by other
considerations. For one thing, there nro
many homes in this city well furnished
today, because of trading stamps. House
wives were unconsciously saving. Whey
they filled their stamp books they re
deemed them for valuable household
articles. It was a kind of enforced sav
ing, which would not have been effected
In other ways. But women aro scientific
managers of their households now, and
they want to save real cash,
"Another tiling we nro getting away
from Is selling certain commodities, such
as tea nnd coffee, at n high profit, to
make up for losses on goods sold at a
small margin of profit. Wc are doing
the public a real good by reducing such
things as CO cent tea to 29 cents, nnd
scaling the price down to a basis of what
they actually cost us."
Experiments in Individual stores, cov
ering several months, proved to the sat
isfaction of the ofllcers that more ef
ficient service could be rendered to the
public by closing the grocery stores one
hour each dny. It was found that al
most no customers enme In between 1 and
2 In the afternoon. Hut many persons
were In the store before nnd after that
hour and they were waited on by a par
tial force of salesmen, others being out
for their lunch. Chlldien came to the
store after school at noon, and their
mothers got the Impression that they
wero not waited on carefully. The reason
lay In the short-handed force of clerks.
So the stores have a definite closing tlmo,
and when they are open they have a full
allotment of salespeople at all times.
Psychology thus plnys a big part n
managing retail stores. Studying what
people want before they know themselves
Is the general plan of the officials of such
enterprises. This same chain of stores
has abolished displays of their wares out
doors simply because they began to real?
lze that patrons would rather buy fresh
goods than those exposed to the street.
Italian Wire Censorship Confirmed
Heports of strict censorship of wire
communications by the Italian Govern
ment were confirmed today at the local
telegraph offices. Only telegrams and
radio messages written plainly in Ital

ITALY'S EARLY DRIVE ON FOE
NOT YET STRONG OFFENSIVE
, .
Advance Movement of Italian Army Only a Covering Operation
White Massing of Troops Proceeds Near the Bound
ary Line of Trentino and Ffiuli.
By BERTO DI BRAHALLA
Italy declared war on Austria May 23.
Ott tho night Immediately following,
whllo the fleet of the Duko of the
Abruzsl wan presumably searching tho
Adriatic for the Austrian vessels, an
enemy fleet, which evidently had taken
the sea before the war was actually de
clared, attacked tho Italian eastern coast
At several points, from Venice to Bar
letta, hut, according to ofllclal advices
from Home, the attack was repulsed by
tho land forces of Italy. ....
The Austrian fleet had a clear objective
before It in this Initial action of the
war; namely to destroy tho double-trnck
railroad line bordering the Adriatic,
which Is 0110 of the main arteries of
communication between southern nnd
northern Italy, and thus provent a rapid
mobilization of the Italian army. The
attack was frustrated, and tho Austrian
fleet had to beat a retreat in oraer to
escape tho superior forces of the Duke
of tho Abruwl.
FinsT land rmiVE.
Meanwhile, tho Italian land forces en
gaged In a flrst drive toward the Aus
trian positions In Trentino, In the Cnrnla
region nnd In the valley of the Isonzb.
On May 2-1 tho situation, according to
Itntlnn ofllclal communications, which
havo not been materially contradicted by
Vienna, was as follows:
Italian troops had Invaded tho terri
tory of tho enemy from nearly all the
dlfforent roads leading Into It, on the
wholo stretch of boundnry, from a point
south of tho Pass ot Stclvlo, where tho
three boundary lines of Italy, Austria
and Switzerland Join, to a few miles north
of tho Adriatic northernmost coast. The
Italians had then occupied, after en
countering little or no resistance on the
part of tho enomy, the following
points:
Tho Tonalc Pass (69GO feet above sea),
or.o of tho good toads leading from
Austria Into Italy; Ponte dl Caffnro, on
tho Oludlcnrla through the valley of the
Chleso (less than 1200 feet); Mount Baldo
(6600 feet) between tha Lake of Oarda
nnd tho Adtgc Hlver; Mount Conglo and
Mount Toppa, tho first reached from
tho valley of tho Agno River, on tho
road from Vlcenza and Schlo to Rocoaro,
and the latter reached through tho val
toy of the Lcogra Ulver, on the road ot
the Fugazze; tho high defiles of tho
upper valley of the Brontn In proximity of
the Austrian trenches at Piano dello
Tezze. ,
Those points cover tho lino of boundary
of tho Trentino, with the exception of ho
valley of the Adlge, which is by far the
most Important line of operation and
about which very little Information has
filtered from Rome. It Is to bo supposed,
howover, that the Italian main column
of the army operating In Trentino Is al
ready on Its way through the valley of
the Adlge, possibly past Borghotto, tho
frontier town, If tho purpose of the Ital
ian Goncrnl Staff Is that of getting Its
army to positions of better advantage
for both offense and defense.

Junction of the pilfero road, from Udlne,
Clvldnlo nnd San Pletro, with the Im
portant Austrian highway linking the
railroad centre of Tarvls with Gorltz nnd
Monfalcono and running almost parallel
to tho Italian boundary lino; Cormons, n.

east of Porto Huso (which wns attacked
by an Italian destroyer), and north of
Orado, a town of 4000 Inhabitants on ono
of tho sandy Islands bordering tho const
west of Trlosto; Tcrzo, on tho same road
of Corvlgnnno, nnd Verso, on tho road
from I'nlmonova to Qradlsca.
Tho Italians, then, have Invested almost
completely tho whole boundary from the
Tonate Pass to tho Adriatic, taking a
quick offensive on tho entire front for a
twofold purpose. Tho drive toward the
Trentino is mainly for tho purpose of pro
venting an AUstro-Qcrmnn army from
descending through the various valleys to
the plains of Lombardy and Venetla.
It Is nn offensive for a defensive pur
pose which must keep the Teutons
busy In defending their own territory
before compelling tho Italians to do so
In a condition of Inferiority, owing to
tho fact that the Auslrlans nro In
possession of tho salient of tho Tyrojese
plateau.
It Is not probable that Ocnernl Cadorna
plans to wasto at this moment a largo
part of his troops In an attack on the
strongly fortified depression of Trent.
But he sees the necessity of occupying
there a commanding position In order to
protect the lines of communication of the
main army operating on the eastern
boundary.
