Chicago, Sept- 14—Two hundred
Chicago manufacturers and jobbers
and over 80,U0U retail merchants out-

the greatest mercantile alliance that
the history of the country has ever
known. Profit to the retail merchant*
who buy goods here is one of the
main objects. The interests of the
traveling salesman, too are included,
and a compact organization which
will act as a unit in the pursuance of
any object of mutual benefit to the
manufacturers, retailers and jobbers.

this:
