have  to  be  carried  by  the  individual  stores.  Good  and  living 
salaries  out  of  the  profits  could  be  paid  all  managers,  and  large 
dividends  to  stockholders  of  the  union  would  be  forthcoming." 
"  The  Prevention  of  Cutting."  J.  H.  Redsecker  suggested  that 
either  the  manufacturer  must  sell  direct  to  the  retailer,  or  that 
some  one  jobber  in  a  given  territory  be  made  "  the  distributing 
agent  who  shall  sell  only  to  such  as  have  signed  the  contract  to 
maintain  prices,  and  hold  him  to  a  strict  account  for  the  distribu- 
tion of  the  goods.  Then  the  cutter,  unable  to  get  the  goods,  would 
be  compelled  to  sign  the  proprietor's  contract,  and  having  done  so, 
he  would  cease  to  be  a  cutter." 
"  Methods  of  Advertising  for  Pharmacists."  L.  S.  Vowell  con- 
sidered the  different  forms  of  advertising  and  which  were  the  most 
advantageous. 
The  Entertainment  Committee  provided  an  excellent  program. 
One  of  the  most  pleasant  features  connected  with  the  meeting  was 
the  presentation  to  the  secretary,  Dr.  J.  A.  Miller,  and  to  the 
treasurer,  Jos.  L.  Lemberger,  each  a  handsome  solid  silver  service 
as  a  token  of  the  appreciation  of  the  members  of  their  continuous 
services  for  twenty-five  years  in  these  respective  offices.  It  was  a 
splendid  and  well-deserved  tribute  to  these  officers  and  the  com- 
mittee carried  out  their  part  of  the  work  well. 
This  being  a  conjoint  meeting  with  the  Maryland  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  several  receptions  were  arranged.  A  severe  storm, 
however,  prevented  the  members  of  the  Maryland  Association  from 
meeting  with  the  members  of  the  Pennsylvania  Association  on  the 
evening  arranged. 
The  next  meeting  will  be  held  at  Eaglesmere  the  fourth  week  in
