For several years this has been a clear fitlid for those who make a living by selling' various kiwis of programs, menu | cards, directories, time table cards and many other similar schemes, j The advertising brings little if any results and the merchant has burdened by the excessive cost. It was unanimously decided by the association to do away with this and President WEl'am Linn was authorized to appoint a committee who will pass upon all such schemes. If the solicitor hasn’t an authorization fjjam the Decatur Advertising Association, the merchants are bound not to patrenfre them. This a!so includes all kiDd6 of sol'citing and is siinfiar to the programs of the Better Business Bureau now used in many cities. To Stop Peddlers At. the meeting of the Advertisers Association fast .evening another in* portant matter discussed was the old one of regulating peddlers. President Linn read an ordinance recently adopted at. Seymour. Indiana, providing that all who canvass from house to house first file a bofrd in the sum of S6OO with the city clerk, thus establishing their reliability. A committee consisting of C. J. Voglewetfe, J. L. Kocher, John T. Myers, D. M. Hensfey, Dan Niblisk was named to present the matter to the Decatur council and to urge that a similar ordinance be adopted here. V-— o -' :
