WHY HOT HAVE A
MERCHANT POLICEMAN?
Many merchants in Quapaw feel
that they do -not have adequate
police protection at night Some
of them have offered to pay their
8ha:e towards a merchant police-
1 man whose sole duty will be to
'protect the property of business
jmen during the n'ght
It has been said that 90 per cent
of robberies and holdups are com
'mitted at night- An officer is
human and cannot be in two places
'at the same time neither can he
safeguard property' both day and
night
The solution to the problem
seems to be a merchant policeman
'An officer commissioned by the''
'county or state and paid by the
'merchants The plan most corn
monly followed in other cities is
'for the merchant policeman to
'make his own collections from the
merchants whose property he pro-
B tects Every hour during the night
he tries the doors of the different
I places of business to see that they
' N are properly locked Desperadoes
