The leading merchants of the city have adopted a resolution pledging themselves "to refuse to accept quotations or to receive and examine samples from any commercial travelers or representatives and discourage houses abroad from such action by every means in our power; to the extent, wherever practicable, of withdrawing our patronage from any house in the event of their persistence, after due notification."
The foregoing is not intended to apply to representatives of houses having sole agencies with established local business with houses in the islands, calling on and transacting business with such house or firm acting as their local agents, provided their business is entirely confined to such representative firm or firms.
Nor shall it apply to the representatives of contractors for large plants of machinery, etc.
