GETTING BP LIST Chicago Ladies Are Gathering Names for a Chicago Mail Order House MAILING PURPOSES Working at Huntington Just Now. but Will Cover the Entire State If Huntington business men desire to see a demonstration of how the big business houses of Chicago go j after the trade they can get a little ' inkling of their methods by going tn the office of the county assessor. James B. Williams, where they will . find two women busy at work copying all the names in the county assessor's books. These women are of the clam variety and hardly speak when spoken to. They undoubtedly follow the advice given them when children that children should'be seen and not heard. Mr. Williams was questioned as to who the ladies are. but he was not next and said that they would have to be interviewed. Interviewing them would make good practice for young students in dentistry, for it was like pulling teeth to get anything out of them. To questions propounded they replied in monosyllables. One lady acted as the spokesman and when asked what they were doing she said that they were compiling names for a publishing firm. When asked what firm she said one in Illinois. She puts a quietus on further questioning by stating that their business here is of no interest to the local public. However, it was learned from another source that the ladies are making a round of the counties making a copy of names turned in by the assessors. These names are then furnished to the big mail order houses of Chicago, who spend thousands of dollars annually -for them, in addition to the immense sums that are spent annually for advertising through the newspapers and magazines of the country, ft is said name gatherers make as high as ten dollars a day. \ big increase in Huntington county mail may be expected in the near future. —Huntington Demoorat
