A DISASTROUS PARTNERSHIP.
BY HJALMAR H. BOYENSEN.
IV.
Iregret to be obliged to introduce my
reader toa courtship a step lower down
than the foregoing. For it happened that

isimultaneously with his partner’s, Truls

Bergerson’s fancy gently turned in the same
direction. The enchantress to whose charms
he succumbed was a Norwegian cook, nam-
ed Randie. If she had any surname it was
not generally known; but that was not of
any consequence, as it was one of the first
things with which her husband would sup-
ply her. What chiefly appealed to Berger-
son in this maiden of his choice was her
muscle and her proficieney in cooking—a rare
accomplishment in persons of her class.
She had received her culinary education in
the house of the famous Mrs. Judge Hal-
land, who kept the grandest establushment
in all Northern Norway, and whose meat
puddings and fish puddings had a national
renown. There was a strict military regime
in that house, and Mrs. Halland had no
scruple in boxing the ears of her cook if the
steak was burned or the soup too salt.
These practices had filled Randie with ad-
miration, ghough she herself had often suf-
ferred from them; and her one wnquench-
able ambition was to reach a similar station
of authority, in which she could exercise
Mrs. Halland’s magnificent privileges. She
set her cap deliberately for Bergerson, chief-
ly because he was reputed to be rich. Hand-
some he certainly was not, but that was a
secondary consideration. When he was
slow in responding to her overtures, she
began to bombard him with delicate atten-
tions such as fish puddings.a la Mrs. Hal-
land, and other dishes which were not
known outside of his native land. He re-
turned her favors with specimens of his own
handicraft, such as a spinning-wheel, reels
for yarn, and cards for combing flax and
wool. These gifts, he shrewdly reasoned,
would make her more valuable to him when
he should want her; for it would enable her,
in accordance with the custom of Norse
peasant girls, to make their own trousseau,
from the raw material up to the last stage
of its completion. He paid her occasional
visits after working hours, and kept a strict
account of the progress of her manufactures.
When he thought had aceumulated
enough, he built a modest little house on
one of his lots, and after a preliminary visit
to the parson, invited Randie to share it
with him.

Although the firm of Bergerson & Moe
was now a considerable institution, employ-
ing fifty men or more, the senior partner
worked as steadily at his bench as if he had
been a common journeyman. He took ¢
noiseless walk now and then in the sawdust
and the shavings, and kept a strict watch
over hismen. If he caught anyone doing
slipshod or flimsy work he was instantly
discharged. Moe, in the meanwhile, sat in
the office, kept the books and made new de-
signs. The two partners were ona very
friendly footing, though they said little to
each other. But the prosperity to which
each felt that the other had contributed
made them feel a mutual respect in spite of
little private criticisms which each made up-
on the other’s character.

Thus matters stood when Bergerson went
to keeping house with Randie; and when
Moe made a similar venture with the young
lady of ice cream antecedents, content-
ment reigned supreme in the firm of Berger-
son and Moe. The first cloud upon their
matrimonial horizon was occasioned by the
first formal call which Mrs. Bergerson made
upon Mrs. Moe. Mrs. Bergerson, in her
honest Norse heart, had looked forward to
this event with pleasure, as she expected to
find a sympathetic friend and counselor
in the junion partner’s wife. She had ar-
rayed herself in her home-made finery, and
had been persuaded that she looked quite
imposing, until she rang Mrs. Moe’s door-
bell and was asked by the servant for her
eard. Poor Randie might with equal pro-
priety have been asked for her coat-of-arms.
It began to dawn upon her that Mrs. Moe,
perhaps, wanted to insult her; but she
bridled her wrath and seated herself, brist-
ling with animosity, in one of the large
chairs in the parlor.
posterous parlor, in Randie’s opinion; heavy
silk plush curtains, Axminster carpet, of
a rich subdued tint, spindle-legged chairs of
different sizes, which seemed only to be
waiting fora signal to dance a waltz, and
the figure of anaked man on the top of acarv-
edstand. When Mrs. Moe finally appeared,
attired in silk—actual silk, at five dollars a
yard—and with her heavy black hair banged,
crimped and elaborately dressed, Mrs. Ber-
gerson conceived such a hatred of her that
she would have given fifty cents for the
privilege of treating her as Mrs. Halland did
her delinquent cooks. Mrs. Moe, on the
other hand, though she put her visitor down
asa ridiculous vulgarian, was at pains to
receive her, for her husband’s sake, as civ-
ily as possible. She was relieved, however,
when the call was at an end; and she had
a good mind not to return it. But James
begged her so earnestly that at last she

yielded and went. Mrs. Bergerson herself

It wasaperfectly pre-'

 

wrath that she slammed the door uncermon-
iously in her face. There could, of course,
be no mistaking that; it meant war—war to
the knife.

It was a severe disappointment to Mrs.
Moe that James, when this incident was re-
ported to him, refused the declare war. He
put his foot down firmly on this occasion,
and demanded that hostile measures
should be considered; and Antoinette was
made to promise that, however trying it
might be to keep the peace, she would as-
sert her superiority by ignoring the insult.
James was really so good to her that she
could well afford to make a sacrifice where
his interests were concerned. He submitted
good-naturedly to the process of ‘being
Americanized,” to which she systematically
subjected him when they were alone togeth-
er. She corrected his accent until there was
searcely a trace left of it; she experimented
with his hair uytil she hit upon a way of
parintg it that was both fashionable and be-
coming; and she trained him in all those
superficial arts of bowing, entering and
leaving a room, ete., which her observation
rather than her experience had taught her.
She was determined he should be a gentle-
man in the narrowest sense, and she found
him an apt pupil. A certain dash of man-
ner was, somehow, latent in him by inheri-
tance, and waited only for the opportunity
to make itself apparent. He carried his
head no longeras a petitioner, but as a com-
mander. Wherever he went his free and
easy aniability made him friends; and busi-
ness acquaintances began to seek him also
in private. His handsome wife, too (whose
humble antecedents were rapidly forgotten),
was a welcome addition to social circles;
men flocked about her and did homage to
her beauty, and respected her for the tact
she displayed in keeping them at a distance.

M

In the Bergerson household the passage-
at-arms between the wives of the firm be-
came a formidable event. When Randie,
in her usual slam-bang style, reported the
affair, with many embellishments, to her
husband, he, for the first time in thtir wed-
ded life, failed to agree with her. He main-
tained that a reparation was due Mrs. Moe;
and, after long rumination, he had the un-
happy idea that they ought to give a party for

All his wife’s chiding and obstreper-

23 protestations (breakages included) were
of no avail. Truls would and must have
his party. He was as obstinate as a mule
when he had got anything into his head, and
Randie had to submit. When theaffair was
broached to Moe he getso hot about his ears
that he had to blow his nose to hide his em-
barrassnient. He saw breakers ahead—
white, tumultuous breakers, large enough
to engulf the whole firm of Bergerson &
Moe. ‘They were just then completing their
new steam factory, and had within a few
months doubled their force of men; every-
thing was going so swimmingly ina busi-
ness way that they could less than ever af-
ford to fall out over petty personal affairs.
But to demonstrate this to his partner would
be about as hopeless as to explain a quad-
ratic equation to a Hottentot. Bergerson’s
brain was a very simple one-story structure,
which could house but one idea at a time.
When hesaw that Moe hesitated to accept his
invitation, he grew only more urgent. He
had heard that Moe was ‘‘playing it rather
big,” as he expressed it; but he was deter-
mined to show that, in his honest Norse
way, he was not afraid to take a hand with
him. He swore to himself that no man
should go home sober from his party. Moe
had by his American marriage become alien-
ated, both in dress and manner, from the
good old Norwegian style, and Bergerson
began to chuckle to himself at the thought
of reclaiming him or making him show his
eolors. The signature James K. Moe, with
the Americanized first name and superfluous
middle initial had been a sore trial to Truls’s
Norse soul, and in a harmless and good-nat-
ured way he meant now to pay Jens up for
these and other affectations.

When Moe saw that there was no help for
it, he accepted the invitation with good
grace. But the battle he had to fight in the
bosom of his family (though there was no
breakage) was scarcely less severe than that
of Bergerson. It was only out of regard for
the steam factory and the profit it promised
that Antoinette consented to celebrate this
feast of reconciliation. It would have suited
her much better to give the vulgar Mrs. Ber-
gerson a piece of her mind--an effective piece
which she had all in readiness and was ach-
ing to deliver. But since peace was the
programme, such ammunition must be
kept, temporarily at least, in abeyance.

It was a bitter cold day, the last of the
old year, that Mr. and Mrs. Bergerson made
their debut as hosts and entertainers. Ran-
die, dressed in a flaring red satin gown (she
had overcome her prejudice against precious
stuffs of late), and blushing like a peony,
stood at her husband’s side and wrung the
hand of each new-comer. She hada cur-
ious bend in her back which recalled the
days of her servitude; and Truls had exactly
a similar stoop, only with him it was more
in the shoulders. Her hair, which had a
pathetic look of artificial disorder, did hom-
age to Mrs. Moe; but it was scarcely a suc-

made their appearance. They paused be-

fore the host and hostess, and Moe, with |

the easiest manner in the world, presented
his wife. There was semething free and
unembarrassed in the way they both carried

their heads, which displeased Bergerson. It |
was as if they were, taking in the whole}
company in general, but no one in particu- |

lar.

Truls stared at them ina very inhospit-
able manner, twirling the eurl over his right
ear.

“Well, Bergerson, won’t you shake hands
with my wife?” asked Moe, lightly.

“Thanks shall you have for last meeting!”
said Bergerson in Norwegian, grasping Mrs.

Moe’s hand, and shaking it until she was on

the point of screaming.

Randie, whose complexion by this time
matehed her dress, gave her husbanda clan-
destine nudge, as if to warn him not to
make a fool of himself. But he rather prid-
ed himself on the neatness of his speech,
and was not to be discouraged.

While waiting for the dinner several of

by way of pleasantry, had secured a bottle
of Swedish punch, which he had concealed
under his coat, but showed with expressive
grimaces to everyone that passed. ‘The
younger people whom he took into his confi-
dence laughed immoderately, and encour-
aged him in his buffoonery. Mrs. Berger-
son, in the meanwhile, had vanished, and at
the end of half an hour reappeared, flushed
and overheated, and invited the company to
repair to the dining-room. This invitation
was received with enthusiasm. Some few
who prided themselves on their gallantry
offered their arms to the ladies who blushed

much style; but the great majority, while
admiring the boldness of the rest, lacked
courage to imitate them. Each selected a
seat according to his own inclination; and
thus it happened that Mrs. Moe found her-
self, quite unintentionally, between her
husband and a middle-aged tanner with
cracked hands, molasses-colored hair, and a
strong smell of leather. When all were
seated, Mrs. Bergerson, apparently over-
whelmed with embarrassment, lifted up her
voice and said:

“Be so good as to put up with our poor
opportunity.”

It was a speech she had heard Mrs. Hal-
land make when she had dinner parties, but
she thought she should sink into the ground
before she could persuade herself to utter it.
She knew, however, that the proprieties in |
Norway demanded that she should disparage
herself and her table in order to give her
guests an opportunity to praise. And, as
regarded her bill of fare, she had nothing to
be ashamed of. It was, indeed, unconven-
tional, and there was too great an abun-
dance of everything. But her savory con-
coctions in the way of meat puddings and
pies, fish curries, oyster tarts, ete., betrayed
a refinement of art worthy of Savarin. The
guests were loud in the praise of every new,
dish they tried, recommended it to their
neighbors, and complimented the hostess: |

her changed position, was so carried away

The man who has lost his grip deserves

is an old friend. Everybody knows him.
He is a man who lives, not from choice, but
from necessity, on a diet of cold shoulder.
It seems impossible for a man who has com-

be a steam engine in breeches, and a model
of good conduct and integrity, but his en-
ergy and ability will go for nothing. It is
useless for him to assert himself and make
a decided stand. The tide is against him,
and he cannot successfully breast it. The
fact that our unfortunate acquaintance once
had a grip indicates that he at one time in
his career possessed some of the essentials

The Transportation Committee of the
Merchants and Manufacturers’ Exchange
has petitioned Commissioner Fink to reduce
the pool rate from New York to this city
from 75 to 70 cents; in other words, put
Grand Rapids on the same basis as Jackson.

the present calculation is based on the mile-
age as figured via the L. S. & M.S. Rail-
way, before the Michigan Central came into
the city and before the D., G. H. & M. be-
came a trunk line. The Committee is quite
sanguine that the concession will be secur-
ed.

market. The street was filled with teams
standing by the sidewalk, and to the tail of
one of these wagons a commercial traveler
attached the coop containing the unsuspect-
ing fowls, by a stout strap whieh hung from
the tail board. The owner of the wagon
presently came out of the market, and drove
off, which caused the complete demoraliza-
tion of the coop, and considerable astonish-
ment to the fowls and their owner. The
latter, at last accounts, had succeeded by

Grand Rapids Pharmaceutical Society.

The regular monthly meeting of the Grand
Rapids Pharmaceutical Society was held at
Tue TRADESMAN Office last Thursday even-
inff. After the usual routine business had
been disposed of, President Wurzburg in-
troduced the subject of ultramarine blue in
granulated sugar by referring to an article
in the January number of the Drugqgists’
Circular covering the principle points in-
volved.

Isaac Watts stated that more or less zine
was also used in the mauufacture of granu-
lated sugar, which rendered it unfit for fine
chemical purposes. Havemeyer admits
haying used zine for a number of years,
and defends the practice on the ground that
the poison is used in such limited quantities
as not to be injurious.

In response to an inquiry, President
Wurzburg stated that the use of ultramar-
ine blue in sugar could not tail to be more
or less deleterious, although it is probably
as harmless as any pigment which could be
used.

Mr. Waits asserted that other ingredients
besides ultramarum blue should be elimin-
ated before granulated sugar is fit for drug-
gists’ use.

The discussion recurring to the question
of preparing tinctures from fluid extracts,
President Wurzburg contributed to the sub-
ject by quoting the following extract from a
paper read before the Americon Pharma-
ceutical Association by O. A. Wall:

That a fluid extract presents the full value
of the drug, if properly prepared, will be
conceded Dy everyone who has had much
experience in making these preparations.
When alkaloids or other ascertainable and
assayable substances are contained in the
drug, an assay of the properly made fluid
extract should yield the same percent-
age as the crude drug itself. The fact that
some manufacturing, as well as retail, phar-
macists make inferior fluid extracts does not
neutralize this general truth.

This much being conceded in regard to the
theoretically perfect fluid extract, it is a
question whether it is achieved in the actual
fluid extract. The writer believes that a
fluid extract made by repercolation, from
fresh and good drugs by a competent worker
does come up to the theoretical require-
ments.

Let us now look at the tinctures. They
are much weaker preparations than fluid ex-
tracts, but resemble the latter in other re-
gards. Some tinctures are absurdities ther-
apeutically, as for instance the tincture of
conium, in which much of the proper action
of the drug is neutralized by the antidotal
effects of the alcohol in the same prepara-
tion, and all tinctures are superfluous when
fluid extracts are athand. Physicians could
only be the gainers if they would use fluid

    

 

ate ingredient of the prescriptions in cases
in which its use was indicated. In other

Pharmacopeeia.

as much drug as he needs at a time, and as
he does not care to make up more tincture

uses it at long intervals, perhaps, until all
is consumed. The last portion of the drug, |
in the mean time, has often become inert
and anany of such tinctures are therefore |
worthless.

Now, a tincture made by percolating 100 |
grammes of adrug with enough of men- |
struum to yield say 500 grammes of tincture |
cannot by any possibility contain more than
was also contained in the drug. But if 100
cubic centimetres of fluid extract also con-
tain all that is of value in 100 grammes of ;
the corresponding drug, then a mixture of |
100 cubic centimetres of fluid extract with |
enough of the proper menstruum to make
500 grammes of tincture must be identical
with 500 grammies of tincture made percola-
tion. According to the conditions agreed
on, therefore. the tinctures may be prepared
from the corresponding fluid extract, taking
care, of course to make due allowance for
the difference between weight and measures
of different tinctures.

By making the tinctures from the fiuid
extracts, we gain the advantage that we
ean work up all our erude drug at once into
fluid extracts, and by this avoid the deterior-
ation of it.

The unconscious common sense of a mul-
titude often hits on a right idea, even with-
out its being formulated into exact thought
by the individual; and this aggregate com-
mon sense has led to the making of tine-
tures from fluid extracts, in spite of the un-
warranted remonstrauce of some few who
see nothing but retrogression in any depar-
ture from traditional pharmaceutical usages,
no matter how contrary to sense the latter
may be. The Pharmacopocia recognizes the
principle in the case af tincture of ipecac
and opium, and it is to be hoped will recog-
nize the superiority of the process by adopt-
ing it for all tinctures of vegetable sub-
stances from which fluid extracts can be
made.

Some have objected that the habit was
encouraged in the interest of manufacturing
pharmacists to increase their sales of fluid
extracts. To these it may be answered that
no is compelled to buy his fluid extracts un-
less he finds it to his interest to do so; and
the fact that many of our most successful
pharmacists buy, rather than make, their
fluid extracts, shows at least that there are
two sides to the question as to the advisa-
bility of buying ormaking. In reality, this
view has absolutely nothing to do with the
main question at issue, of making tinctures
from fluid extracts, although the prejudice
of some has attempted to make the process
appear as the wicked invention of the man-
ufacturer.

Actual comparison of tinctures made by
diluting fluid extracts and by percolation
from the drug itself has shown equal
amounts of solid residue and equal effects
therapeutically, and the writer is convinced
that the arguments in favor of the process
far outweigh any that can be urged against
it.

We have as advantages: probable average
greater activity, on account of less chance
of using deteriorated drug; less stock of
drug necessary; less cost of labor; less capi-
tal required to carry stock, as a small quan-
tity of tincture only, or even none of those
more seldom employed, need be on hand,
any that is preseribed being readily made
extemporaneously if desired: less expendi-
ture therefore for stock bottles, shop furni-
ture, ete. Ifthe preparations are purchas-
ed, as by many country physicians and phar-
macists is altogether done, we add saving in
costof packages and in freight, ete.

Against these and other advantages is to
be placed only the veneration for old habits,
for the writer does not know one single val-
id argument why tinctures should not be
prepared by diluting fluid extracts, unless it
is that the fluid extracts ayprepared by some
are not what they should be, and therefore
tinctures made from them will not be of full
strength. Admitting this, it simply argues
that greater care should be used in securing
good fluid extracts, for it is just as improp-
er to use inferior fluid extracts as to use in-
ferior tinctures. Besides, the use of infer-
ior fluid extracts is more than counterba]-
anced by the use of the shop-worn and in-
ert drugs so often used in making tinctures.

In answer to the first part of the query,
therefore, we must admit the propriety of
diluting fluid extracts to make tinctures. As
to the extent to which this may be done, the
writer believes that it should be the princi-
pal process of the Pharmacopoeia, leaving
percolation as an alternate process, as being
moreapplicableand economical when making
large quantities, as by manufacturing phar-
macists who usually possess better facilities
for obtaining fresh, good drugs at any and
all times.

Tinctures and wines may be legitimately
made from fluid extracts, likewise most
syrups, when they can be made that way,
while the solutions of fluid extracts in water
which generally are superior, are yet fre-
quently so different from infusions and de-
coctions in strength, and occasionally in

mode of action, that they cannot indiscrim- |

words, no harm would be done if tinctures |

Secretary Escott presented the following
letter from the Secretary of the Detroit so-
ciety:

Detroit, Dee. 31, 1885.
F. H. Escott, Sec’y Grand Rapids Pharmaceut-
ical Society:

Dear Srr—At the last meeting of the
Detroit Pharmaceutical Association it was
resolved that the Secretary send out a cireu-
lar to all the loeal societies and prominent
druggists in the State, asking them to use
their influence with their representatives in
Congress in regard to the abolition of the
Internal Revenue Tax.

Please bring it before your society and let
it receive your prompt attention.

Very truly,
F. W. R. Perry, Sec’y.

Dr. H. E. Locher moved that the Secre-
tary communicate with the member of Con-
gress from this district and ask him to use
his influence to secure the repeal of the U.
S. Internal Revenue law as affecting drug-
gists.

Mr. Van Leeuwen asked what object he
had in view to securing the repeal of the
law.

Mr. Locher replied that he could not make
$25 a year on his liquor sales, and that he is
money out year after year. Liquors area
necessity in any drug store, but the present
U.S. tax is unjust.

Isaae Watts stated that a suggestion was
made at the recent meeting of the National
Retail Druggists’ Association that each
member communieate with his member of
Congress. A motion to that effect barely
passed, but it was not feasible at present,
although it was thought desirable to keep
up the agitation.

Mr. Locher said there were other reasons
why the motion should prevail. One is the
erronous idea that druggists are liquor deal-
ers, and that it is annoying to be classed as
liquor dealers. The State makes a distine-

tion in the form of the license, and the
government ought to do the same. He wish-
ed the editor of Tne TRADESMAN would
mention the matter in his paper, as such
notice would serve to correct a wrong im-
pression and set the druggist right before
the world.

The motion was then adopted.

Secretary Escott read letters from the of-
ficers of the Jackson and Saginaw societies,
stating that they would refer the subject of
prohibiting the distribution of free sample
bottles of proprietary articles to their re-
spective societies. President Latimer, of
the Jackson organization, wrote: “I quite
agree with you that the free sample business
is a nuisance.”

Isaac Watts suggested the following sub-
ject for discussion at the next meeting,
which was adopted: ‘‘Dangerous com-
pounds—What are the explosive compounds
which a druggist meets with?”

The Society then adjourned, to meet’

Thursday evening, February 4.

A man was recently brought into the
criminal courts of England on the charge of
having poisoned his wife with colchicine.
There was no direct evidence in the case.
It could not be proved that he had pur-
chased this drug, and the prosecution con-
fessed that they were not familiar with a
test for the identification of colchicine, so
its presence could not be detected in the
body of the victim, and the prisoner was dis-
charged.

A notice of dissolution of partnership pub-
lished in a Minnesota paper stated that the
dissolution was by mutual consent, and add-
ed that the reason therefor was that one of
the partners was ‘‘too lazy to continue the
business.”

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1885.

RETAIL GROCERS’ ASSOCIATION.

 

The Most Interesting and Profitable Meet-
ing Ever Held.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Retail Grocers’ Association, held on the 5th,
was attended by about thirty representative
grocers. Applications for membership were
received from John Cordes, Mrs. Jacob Rit-
zema, Rademaker & Konkle and M. P.
Hedges, all of whom were elected members
of the Association.

The Committee on Entertainment was
given until the next meeting to report.

The special Committee on Honorary Mem-
bers reported as follows.

Mr. President and Members of the Associa-
tion:

Your special Committee on Honorary
Members beg leave to report an amendment
to the constitution, and unanimously rec-
ommend its adoption. From all we have
been able to ascertain in regard to the sub-
ject, we conclude that honorary members
have the right of speech on any and all
questions, but no vote.

A. J. ELuiorr,

MARTIN C. DEJAGER,

E. A. STOWE.
ARTICLE I.

Section 2. Any suitable person may be
elected an honorary member of this Associa-
tion on a two-thirds vote of the members
present at any regular meeting, such mem-
ber to be exempt from the payment of mem-
bership fee, dues and assessments.

On motion of Jas. A. Coye, the report
was accepted and the Committee discharged.
The amendment was laid over for adoption
at the next meeting.

Chairman Elliott, of the Committee on

Rooms, presented a lease for the rooms for
the ensuing year for the approval of the As-
sociation. On motion of Mr. Coye, the
lease was referred back to the Committee
with instructions to revise the same-and ex-
ecute it in the name of the Association.

Actuary Stowe read the names of all de-
linquents thus far reported to the Associa-
tion, 100 in all, and thus ascertained the ad-
dresses of several persons whose present
whereabouts were heretofore unknown.
The reading of all names reported in the in-
terim will be made a regular feature of each
meeting hereafter.

President Herrick stated that the reading
of the list disclosed information which
would be of direct monetary value to his
firm, and Vice-President Walker expressed
similar sentiments.

E. A. Stowe presented the following let-
ter from Smith Barnes, of Traverse City,
and moved the adoption of the accompanying
resolution.

Your very kind invitation to place myself
in an embarrassing position before the clear-
headed retailers of your city I have placed
on file as one of the compliments that oc-
easionally come to one during a business
life.

I need not say that I am very much inter-
ested in everything relating to business re-
form, and should you signify your wish to
receive a brief screed to be read before the
retailers’ association of Grand Rapids I will
endeavor to send you something in the near
future. I think the old habit of purchasing
eggs the one remnant of business dishonesty
ingrained into the community by centuries
of use.

Resolvcd—That Smith Barnes, general
manager of the Hannah & Lay Mercantile
Co., be invited to address this Association,
either personally or by letter, on the subject
of ‘Eggs by Weight” at his earliest conven-
ience, and that the matter be made the spec-
ial order of business for that evening.

The resolution was unanimously adopted.

E. A. Stowe moved the appointment of a

committee to wait on the jobbing trade of

the city and solicit signatures to a paper

-containing an agreement not to sellat retail,

ihe agreement and signatures to constitute a
**Roll of Honor.”

Jas. A. Coye moved as an amendment
that the matter be taken in charge by the
Arbitration Committee, which was adopted.

Jas. A. Coye suggested that the grocers
in each ward resolve themselves into a com-
mittee to secure pledges from the nominees
for aldermen in their respective wards rela-
tive to the abatement of the peddler nuis-

ance.
W. C. Harper asserted that the grocers

ought to begin work before the nominations
were made, that the time to strike was at
the caucuses. Candidates are free to mak
pledges after they once get a place on the
ticket, and are equally free to go back on
their pledges after election.

Milo G. Randall said that. he knew the
sentiment of the Common Council well
enough to assert that any petition presented
to that body by this Association would be
treated with respect. The Council will cor-
dially co-operate with the Association in the
suppression of the nuisance.

Jas. A. Coye moved that the Law Com-
mittee be requested to draft a resolution for
the approval of the Association expressing
its views relative to the huxtering business;
and that after adoption it be presented to
the Council by Alderman Richmond.

In answer to an enquiry, Mr. Richmond

stated that the present city license levied on |

huxters is $15 per year, but that only two
persons had taken out liéenses.

Wm. Karreman stated that the State law
on the subject was inoperative, as there was

no penalty attached for violation of the

The Michigan TradeSMaN, wees ne wae te em a

 

Referring to the sentiment set forth in

‘“‘Intemperance has slain more than war,
famine and pestilence,” Mr. Coye face-
tiously remarked that the sentence should
be paraphrased so as to read, ‘The peddling
nuisance has slain more grocers than war,
famine and pestilence.”

M. C. Goossen stated that the milk ped-
dlers were beginning to carry around butter
and eggs in their wagons.

Milo G. Randall said he knew of several
milk men who peddled vegetables as well.
Mr. Coye’s resolution was then adopted.
W. C. Harper suggested that the employ-
ers of delinquents be notified, when the lat-
ter refuse to pay their debts, that they may
be given an opportunity to assist the trade
in the collection of bad accounts.

Treasurer Harris reported a total member-
ship of 62, and total receipts of $77.50.
Cash on hand, $75.45.

The Association then adjourned, to meet
again on Tuesday evening, January 19.

‘Peter Cooper’s Illustration of Usury.

Mr. Cooper was always a careful and pru-
dent business man. He was always oppos-
ed to the methods of many merehants, who
launched out in extravagant enterprises on
borrowed money, fer which they paid exor-
bitant rates of interest. Once, while talk-
ing about a project with an acquaintance,
the latter said he would have to borrow the
money for six months, paying interestat the
rate of three per cent. a month.

“Why do you borrow for so short a time?
Mr. Cooper asked.

“Because the brokers will not negotiate |
bills for longer.”

‘Well, if you wish,” said Mr. Cooper, *‘I
will discount your note at that rate for three
years.”

“Are you in earnest?” said the would-be
borrower.

“Certainly I am. I will discount your
note for $10,000 for three years at that rate.
Will you do it?”

“Of course I will,” said the merchant.

“Very well,” said Mr. Cooper; ‘‘just sign
this note for $10,000 payable in three years,
and give me your check for $800, and the

9”

transaction is complete.

“But where is the money for me?”
the astonished merchant.

‘“*You don’t get any money,” was the re-
ply. ‘Your interest for thirty-six months,
at three per centum per month amounts to
one hundred and eight per centum, or $10,-
800; therefore, your check for $800, just
makes us even.”

The force of this practical illustration of
the folly of paying such an exorbitant price
fe the use of money, was such that the
merchant determined never to borrow at
such runinous rates, and he frequently used
to say that nothing could have so fully con-
yineed him as this rather humorous proposal
by Mr. Cooper.

‘‘Yes, Mr. Goodman,” said the grocer to
the minister who had dropped in for a little
chat, ‘‘as you say, life is short, but eternity
is long. It behooves us all to so shape our
course in this world that we may inherit the
blessings of the world to come. With me, |
sir, honesty in business is not a policy, it is
something more than that, something high-
er, something—”

“Pleaseimister,” asked achild with a shawl
over her head, ‘‘has you got enny next
year’s maple sugar?”

‘Well, sissy,” hesitated the grocer witha
very dubious look in the direction of the
dominie, ‘“‘it’s a trifle early in the season,
yet, but I may have a little on hand. How
much do you want?”

One of the serious faults that ought to be
overcome in the seroll sawing machine is
that edges are rough and uneven, and the
lines often irregular and ill-shapen. This
ean be largely overcome by greater care and
skill. Among the requisites for smooth and
uniform work are that the work should be
held so firmly that it cannot vibrate with the
saw, and that the work should be moved
steadily, that in curved work the blade is
not twisted. The hole the saw goes through
should be twice the size of the saw. When |
two pieces are to be sawed, they should be
nailed tightly on the outer edges to keep
them from sliding, and do one inside sawing
first.

THE PEDDLER NUISANCE.

A Consideration From a Sanitary Stand-
point.
From the American Analyst.

‘The question of how far peddlers and
street venders of all kinds interfere with the
rights of storekeepers by being enabled to
undersell them, not having any store rent
to pay, or their infringing upon public rights

 

by obstructing the streets and sidewalks, is

not within our province, but there is a very |
Ped- |

important sanitary view to be taken.
dlers and street venders seldom have any
established custom, and as they move from
place to place, only look for transient trade.
Consequently the policy of not cheating,
which would prevent a return of the cus-
tomer at another time, is'not an element of
influence with them. If they can only sell
their wares they are satisfied. Their low
rate of business expenditure being well
known, they are extensively patronized by
those who look for bargains under the false
impression that they are enabled to sell
cheaper than storekeepers under much
heavier expense. Again, it is erroneously
supposed that because they only carry
enough stock to last for a partof a day, that
the goods they offer are fresher and better
than those sold by storekeepers, who, be-
cause they have the means of caring for
their perishable goods, are supposed to have
only stale goods. Another great error is
the supposition that all the women who go
about with one or two baskets full of vege-
tables, fruit, butter and kindred things,
bring these fresh from the farm or truck
garden. All these are mistaken notions.
The majority of peddlers and venders buy
only the very cheapest and poorest stuff
after the grocers, who buy the best, have
had their pick. It is acommonsightaround
any wholesale market to see street venders
waiting for the grocers to drive away, when
they swoop down upon the leavings, which
they obtain at a nominal price. ‘Though
they buy cheap and ccrrespondingly poor
goods, they do not sell at any low figure,
but having only a limited stock in trade,
which they must sell in a few hours, and
then remain in enforced idleness for the
greater part of their time, are compelled to
charge a much larger percentage of profit
than the storekeeper, who has a very large
stock in constant demand and facilities for
selling at all hours. When the peddler’s
stock, originally poor and none too fresh,
continues to decay or spoil, he has no means
of preserving the same or preventing spoil-
ing. The fallacy of fresh butter or vegeta-
bles, right from ‘‘our own garden,” is too
well known to need any further reference.
We once knew a man who managed to earn
a large amount of money by dressing up as
a farmer and selling roll butter, made by
his wife, in the city, from partially rancid
firkin butter, bought at a low price, by
washing the butyric acid out with milk and
working the butter over. We have only to
call attention to the facts developed by a
visit to Washington Market, where we re-
cently saw decomposed poultry, decaying
vegetables, strong game, partially rotten
fruit, and many other similar things bought
up by peddlers, who, after slightly and
superfically fixing up these various pur-
chases, sell them on the streets at prices
proportionately much higher and with poorer
measure, than better and fresher goods are
sold by storekeepers. As these venders are
generally only patronized by the poor, and
the latter are thus not only robbed of their
money, but of their health, is it not the du-
ty of our health officials to closely watch
these people? In fact, under all circum-
stances, would it not be best to end the en-
tire nuisance by law? Surely, there is no
part of large cities which is not abundantly
supplied with stores, which can be better
watched and which are responsible.

“Eggs by Weight.”

There should be a large attendance at the
next meeting of the Retail Grocers’ Associa-
tion as the programme includes an address
by Smith Barnes on “Eggs by Weight,” a

 

 

 

STORE SLANG.

Its Origin Found in the Peculiarities of
Shoppers.
From the New York World.

If the women who spend so much of their
time in shopping day after day only knew
how much they jeopardize the positions of
the clerks by not buying, perhaps they
would not spend so much time in overhaul-
ing box after box of goods simply to see the
late’ fashions and without the least inten-
tion of buying. The employer or floor-
walker is supposed to know if the lady, who
has been for the last half-hour looking over
a box of laces, intends buying or not. He
does not know that the laces are only being
looked at to see the newest paterns, or to
consume time while waiting for a friend.
The same thing has occurrred during the
day, and, perhaps, on several days previous
—ladies leaving the counter without buy-
ing. ‘The proprietor then gets the idea ihat
the clerk is not smart; he has seen a num-
ber during the past week leave her counter,
and when the clerk receives her pay envel-
ope on Staturday night she finds in ita
short note saying her ‘‘services are no lon-
ger required.”

The people that take up the time of the
clerks without buying are called ‘‘skanks,”
and if any lady when shopping should over-
hear the work *‘skank” used from time to
time by the clerks that are near to the one
who is waiting on her, she may take it for
granted that she is not regarded by the
clerks as a probable purchaser.

To “swap” a clerk is to leave him with-
out buying, a great many ‘‘swaps” during
the day exposing him to a discharge.

To. “gouge” is for one clerk, at the ap-
proach of a customer to the counter, to run
ahead and wait on her before the other
clerks. To have the reputation of being a
“gouger” is not an enviable thing.

The Tomato Pack of 1885.
The annual review by the American Gro-

 

cer of the progress of the tomato canning |

industry in 1885 has just been published. It
shows a heavy decrease in the output of
these goods during the past year as compar-
ed with 1884. The total pack this year

 

amounted to 1,434,006 cases of two dozen

tins each, against 2,021,177 cases in 1884 |

and 2,943,579 cases in 1883.

The following |

table gives the production by states for the

years 1885 and 1884:
‘lases, two
dozen tins each.

The chief event in the trade this year was
the failure of the red seal combination in
Maryland, which, while being a disaster to
Harford county, was regarded as quite ad-
vantageous to the trade at large. The large
decrease shown in the total production dur-
ing the past three years is stated to be due
to various causes. One is that the quality
of the goods has not been advanced and that
while the cost of packing has been cheapen-
ed it has been at the expense of quality.
The competition of other canned vggetables
has also tended to reduce the consumption,
while the general depression in trade has
had its effect upon this industry as on others.
In summing up the prospects of the coming
year, the Grocer says: The year 1885 closes
with the statistical position exceedingly
favorable; stocks in the hands of jobbers
are light; the pack has been small—all of

which gives the market a firm tone.

He Had No Reason to Complain.
From the New York Independent.

He was complaining in the most bitter
manner about the size of his gas bill, when
the fat, bald-headed man in the corner of the
car remarked:

“‘T have burned that same company’s gas
for thirteen years, and never had to com-
plain.”

‘Ever change your meter?”

‘*Never.”

‘How often have you had it tested?”

‘‘Not a single time.” :

‘Well, well! Never overcharged you?”

‘*No.”

‘“‘And you are perfectly satisfied?”

‘Perfectly?’

The fat man got off at the next corner,
and the other observed to his left-hand
neighbor:

*“*Who do you suppose he is?”

“Oh, I’ve known him for years. He’s
the president of the gas company you men-
tioned!”

The Grocery Market.

Business and collections are fairly satis-
factory. Sugars are comparatively quiet.
Jobbers have increased the broom quotations
25 cents a dozen and salt to $1 per barrel.
Other articles in the grocery line are about
steady.

Candy is firm and steady, with fair de-
mand. Florida oranges are in good request
and firm in price. The quality is generally
fine. Lemons are steady, with good‘ sup-
ply. Foreign nuts are steady. Peanuts are
higher and the market is very firm, with
prospects of still higher prices in the near
future.

ART OF WORK.

 

A Few Pertinent Suggestions for Toilers
With Brain and Muscle.

The secret lies in keeping the machine in
order. To do this, observe the following
rules:

was made for sleep. And

earns the right to go-a-fishing, or to church,

spoils the brain to simmer after a hard boil.

Seventh—Feed regularly, largely and
slowly. Lose no meal; approach it respect-
fully and leave it gratefully. No more can
be got out of a man than is put into him.

Eighth—Sleep one-third of your whole
life. How I hate the moralists who croak
over time wasted in sleep. Besides, sleep
is on the whole the most satisfactory mode
of existence.

Ninth—Don’t abuse tobacco. Enjoy it,
but not in an unconscious habit. Burn no
incense thoughtlessly on the altar of this
god of good digestion and peace of mind.

Tenth—Keep whiskey for emergencies.
Like religion, it is too good for every day
use, and should be respected accordingly.

Eleventh—Focus your brains as you would
a burning glass. Butter enough fora slice
won't do for a loaf.

Twelfth—Keep empty-headed between
times. Mental furniture should be very
select. Useless lumber in the upper story
is worse than a pocketful of cyster-shells.
Leave your facts on your book-shelves where
you can find them when wanted. A walk-
ing encyclopedia cannot work for want of
room to turn around in his own head.

Thirteenth—Don’t tax your memory.
Make a memorandum and put it in your
pocket. Every unnecessary thought is waste
of effective force.

Fourteenth—Don’t believe that muscular
exercise counterbalanees head-work. Brain
and musele are bung-hole and spigot of the

same barrel.

Fifteenth—Don’t hide your light under a
bushel. Not that the light is of any special
consequence, but you might set the bushel

on fire.
Sixteenth—Pin your faith to the genius of
hard work. It is the safest, most reliable,

and most manageable sort of genius.

To Remove Clinkers.

the stove is cold. Use plenty of it. Build
a moderate fire—wood and coal—and in a
day or two the clinkers will be gone. This

is a sure remedy, and within the reach of
all, and does away with the liability of
eracking the lining by the use of hammer
and chisel. Clam shells are used only for

the salt in them.

Copper in 1885.

Montana furnished 55,000,000 pounds of
eopper in 1885.

Arizona produced during
19,000,000 pounds of copper.

Copper was exported during the year 1885
to the amount of 70,000,000 pounds.

Michigan is credited with producing 66,-
000,000 pounds of copper during the year
1885.

The production of copper for the year 1885
is given at 146,000,000 pounds fine copper.

The home consumption of copper during
the year 1885 amounted to 85,000,000
pounds.

The production of Chili copper last year
is estimated to be 5,000 English tons less
than in 1884.

Our exports, including the re-export of
copper from foreign ores, were about 5,000,-
000 pounds greater in 1885 than in 1884.

An improved method of tanning—namely,
with soap and oil, together with carbolic
acid—has been brought to notice by an Aus-
tralian inventor. The skins which have been
limed in the ordinary manner also haired and
prepared if for the production of sole leath-
er, are placed ina tin bath consisting of a
mixture of ten gallons of water, in which
200 pounds of soap are dissolved, and con-
taining one gallon of carbolic acid, in which
the skins are left until they have become con-
verted into leather. This process, it is as-
serted, may be considerably accelerated by
adding a pint of fresh carbolic acid to the
tanning fluid from time to time. Forasoft-
er leather the raw, limed, and haired skins
are for one or two days placedin a mixture
of four parts carbon bisulphide and one of
earbolic acid, and then washed.

The question of a “‘black-list” which was
taken to the Texas courts a few weeks ago
by a workman who could not get a place

the year 1885,

 

- because he had been ‘‘black-listed” by a rail-

road company, is being fought out by pub-
lic opinion at Belleville, Il. The grocers
of that place have formed a mutual protec-
tive association, agreeing not to cut prices,
and that no merchant in the association
shall sell goods to anyone who is posted by
another for not paying his debts. A man
who is shut off from buying his usual fam-
ily supplies because he refuses to pay an
old bill of $1.20 has published a pamphlet
about the situation, a grand local hullabaloo
has been raised, and some grocer, with an

eye for business, may be expected to draw
out of the pool for the ‘sake of catching the

How a Gocasnercia) Man Got Cheap
Drinks.

From the Toronto Commercial Traveler.
“Barney” B, was at one time a_ well
known traveler on the W., G. B. & G. W.
railway. He-was of bibulous habits and
largely at the expense of others. Not long
ago he met a few travelers at his hotel and
with great elation told them he was ona
new racket and would show them how it
worked. He gave them some instructions
and waited until a new arrival appeared.

“T say,” said Charlie, coming at once to
the point, ‘“‘we’ve had a little discussion here
and want your advice.”

“Well, what is it,” inquired the man.
“We were arguing that more men said,
‘Will you have something?’ than ‘What will

you take?’ Now, for instance, what do you
say?”
““‘Oh, I say, ‘Will you have some-

thing?’ ”—

“Of course we will!” shouted the gang,
and before the man could recover they rush-
ed him to the counter and he paid for the
drinks.

It was voted a great invention and they
got ready for the next victim. He came inin
afew minutes and Charles caught:

‘“‘T say,” he began, as before, ‘‘we’ve had
a little discussion here and want your ad-
vice.”

‘“‘Anything I can do for you call on me,”
answered the new man politely.

‘‘Well, we were arguing that more men
say, ‘Will you have something?’ than
‘What will you take?’ Now, for instance,
which do you say?”

“Neither.”

“Neither?” questioned Charles, knocked
crooked by the reply.

‘““That’s what I said,” replied the man.

‘‘Well, what in thunder do you say?”

“T alway say, ‘Thanks, I don’t care if I
do.”

Charles had to ‘‘set ’em up” for seven
men, and the gag was incontinently ruled
out.

The Meanest Man on Earth.

“Do you want to know who, in my opin-
ion, is the smallest man on earth?” asked a
Chicago traveler.

Of course they all looked assent.

“Well,” said he, ‘‘Ed. Smythe told about
him the other day, and I know the man. Ed
had his samples open at the Moody House
and called on the man. Yes, he would go
look at them, he wanted a few German
goods. He went there, looked the cards all
over (Ed. has three trunks), made a sheetful
of memorandums, and said he would write
out an order. Ed. called around ahout six
o’clock in the evening. There were two
chairs on the office; the hog sat in one and
had his feet in the other; he was reading a
newspaper and kept on reading; Ed. stood
around patiently, as any man ean afford to
be patient if he is going to getan order. In
the course of half an hour a friend came in
and wanted to know of the hog if he wasn’t
ready to go somewhere. He jumped upand
pushed his books in the safe, talked to his
friend and ignored Ed. After a while Ed.
said: ‘Have you made out your order, Mr.
B?’ ‘No sir; ’'m not going to give you any
order. I don’t intend to buy any more from
your house,’ and he walked into Ed, ina
way that he evidently thought would im-
press his friend that he was a wonderful
cuss. Ed. is a good-natured fellow, and bus-
iness is business; he didn’t open on him
then, but he got even before long. I tell
you the smallest man in the world, the
meanest dog in the kennel, the dirtiest
whelp I know, is the fellow who thinks its
brave to abuse a drummer when he has him
in his own store.”

Took Him All Off.
From the Detroit Free Press.

“Ah!” said Smith, a commercial traveler,
toa group of friends, ‘‘I was witness to a
sight just before leaving Chicago.” And
then he told how he had seen a poor German
emigrant with his wife and family of eight
yellow-haired children, how he had become
interested in them, and had learned that
they had left their native land to seek a
home in the Northwest. He was touched
with the tenderness of the father, and saw
him purchasing apples for the children. All
the family except the father had taken seats
on the train, and he was just making change
on the platform for his small purchase when
the train began to move out.of the station.
He made a rush for it, slipped, and then, be-
fore the eyes of the poor family and other
horror-struck passengers, his head was
taken off by the cars.

Smith’s friends were much affected, and
it was decided to take up a purse for the
poor widow and fatherless children, and this
was speedly done and a neat sum presented
to Smith to be forwarded. He, with tears
in his eyes, said:

_ “My friends, I thank you, but I can con-
ceal it no longer. That train took off the
rest of the man, and he still lives.”

Smith will not travel this week. He is
laid up for repairs.

The Michioan Tradesman,

BUSINESS LAW.

 

 

 

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

 

CUSTOM—PRESENTMENT OF DRAFTS.

Evidence of the usage and custom of a
bank as to the presentment of drafts for ac-
ceptance and payment is admissible to cor-
roborate the testimony of a cashier as to the
presentment for acceptance of a particular
draft, according to the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States in the
case of the Knickerbocker Life Insurance
Co. vs. Pendleton.

PARTNERSHIP—JOINT OWNERSHIP.

Where three parties owned and ran a saw
mill jointly, on the agreement that one of
them was to conduct the operations of the
mill, pay all its expenses from the proceeds,
and divide the net profits equally between
himself and the other two, the three jointly
owning the property from which the income
was derived, the Supreme Court of Georgia
held that this constituted a partnership be-
tween them.

 

MUNICIPAL BONDS—DUTY OF PURCHASER.

Purchasers of municipal securities must
always take the risk of the genuineness of
the official signature of those who execute
the paper they buy,.according to the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of the Merchant’s Ex-
change National Bank ys. County of Ber-
gen. By ‘‘genuineness of the official sig-
nature” is meant the genuineness, not only
of the signature itself, but also of the official
character of him who makes it.

BANKRUPTCY—FAILURE TO ACCOUNT.

-

When one is intrusted with the offects of
another to dispose of them for the benefit of
the latter, and to account to him therefor,
the mere fact that he who was so intrusted
has failed to account does not create a debt
which is exempted from a discharge in bank-
ruptey, under section 5,117 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, for fraud,
embezzlement, or as being a debt created in
a fiduciary capacity, where there is no proof
showing that in appropriating the property
or proceeds it was done wrongfully and
fraudulently and with a fraudulent intent
at the time. So held by the Supreme Court
of Georgia.

 

EXEMPTION—NECESSARY WEARING AP-
PAREL—WATCH.

A watch may constitute a portion of
‘necessary wearing apparel” within the
meaning of a statute of exemptions, accord-
ing to the decision of the Supreme Court of
Oregon in the case of MeClung ys. Stewart.
The court said: The question whether a
watch is a necessary article of wearing
apparel, and as such exempt, seems from
the decisions to depend upon the particular
facts or attendant circumstanees of each
case, such as the value of the watch, the
condition and business of the debtor, ete.,
and has been differently decided under dif-
ferent circumstances. * * * It is prob-
ably true that a watch is ordinarily worn
for convenience than as a mere luxurious
ornament. But to determine whether it is
one or the other, necessary or luxurious, as
an article of dress or apparel, the value of
the watch is allowed to havea controling
influence in determining the result. If the
value of the watch be unreasonable, or too
much money be invested in it, the law re-
gards it, as justice to the creditors would
require, rather as a luxury than a necessity,
and under our statute this element of value
would necessarily become an important fac-
tor, as the exemption of wearing apparel is
limited to $100. * * * Upon the ques-
tion whether a watch is a necessary article
of wearing apparel the authorities are con-
flicting. Upon the whole our own judgment
inclines us to the opinion that the phrase
‘necessary wearing apparel” as used in our
statute may include in it a watch of moder-
ate value without doing violence to its
meaning. Weare not, therefore, prepared
to say that a watch of moderate value is not

a necessary article of wearing apparel and‘

as such exempt when it is made to appear
affirmatively that the watch and other arti-
cles of apparel selected or reserved do not
exceed the amount limited by the statute.

GUARANTY—APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

Certain advances were made by a Charles-
town (S. C.) firm to a firm in Williston up-
on the following guaranty: ‘‘Charleston.
S. C., February 3, 1881. Messrs. E. H.
Frost & Co.—Dear Sirs: In consideration
of your agreeing to advance to Messrs. John
A. Weathersbee, Ashley M. Weathersbee
and Martin F. Weathersbee, doing business
at Williston, S. C., under the firm name of
A. M. Weathersbee & Co., not .exceeding
the sum of seven thousand dollars and in-
terest, I hereby guarantee to you the repay-
ment of the sums advanced and commissions
as agreed, ete. Yours respectfully, A. J.
Weathersbee.” Upon the delivery of an
aeditional guaranty given by the same per-
son for the sum of $1,500, further advances
were made aggregating in all $8,500. After-
wards large advances were made by the
Charleston firm to the Williston firm, for
the purpose of buying cotton, which was
shipped to the former, but these latter ad-
vancements were without the guaranty of
A. J. Weathersbee. When the cotton was
shipped no directions were given except to
hold for a better price. Nothing was said
about applying the proceeds at that time,

 

ersby & Co., by direction. of A. J. Weath-
ersbee, wrote to the Charleston firm direct-
ing them to sell the cotton at once and ap-
ply net proceeds to credit of amount indors-
ed by A. J. Weathersbee. The Charleston
firm declined to make the application direct-
ed and declined to make further advances.
Upon a suit brought by the Charleston firm
against the guarantor, after judgment
against the Williston firm, the Supreme
Court of Sonth Carolina held (Frost et al.
vs. Weathersbee et al.) that the guaranty
above referred to was limited to $8,500, and
was not a continuing guaranty in the sense
of securing any eventual balance, and that
the guaranteed debt was not paid by the di-
rection of the debtors to apply the proceeds
of the cotton in the hands of the plaintiffs
to the payment of the same, leaving unpaid
the advances made to purchase the cotton.
The court said: A debtor owing two debts
to the same creditor has a right, on making
payment to direct its aplication. Ifthe debtor
has given no directions the creditor may
make the application at his pleasure. In this
case no instructions were given when the
shipments were made, except to hold for
better prices. No instructions whatever
were given at the time as to the application
of the proceeds. In the absence of these
the creditor had the right to make the ap-
plication. Besides, the arrangement as to
the purchase of eotton amounted to a con-
tract that these advances were made upon
the condition that they should be paid out
of the sales of the cotton. A factor who
advances money for the purchase of goods
has a general lien upon them to secure such
advanees. The plaintiffs had the right to
apply the proceeds of the sale, first, to the
advances made in purchasing the cotton,
and then the balance in liquidation pro
tanto of the guaranteed debt.

GROCERS!

Start in the New Year by Introducing the

SOTLIFF

CUPON
SYSTEM.

 

The only Complete Coupon System in
existence, making business safe both for |
the merchant and his customers.

A CARD.

In presenting to the trade my COUPON SYS8-
TEM, which has been revised and improved, I
claim that I have the most complete, safe and
cheapest system for simplifying business on
the market. Customers can send their ser-
vants with the Coupon Book to the store with
no danger or discrepancies, as by the record
which is kept on inside covers, amountof each
sale is recorded. <All books are numbered
when so'd, and when not paid for in advance,
are secured by, note, one of which is in every
book. Every Coupon has engraved signature
of the merchant, together with the card; cov-
ers have the merchant’ sadvertisementon, and
their size makes them desirable to the custom-
er as well as the cashier. As they are now
made the smaller numbers below the five cent
can be detached, same as the larger ones, thus
obviating the necessity of a punch and stamp.

MERCHANTS CONTEMPLATING CHANG-
ING FROM CREDIT TO CASH, can still hold
their old customers by introducing this sys-
tem, which I claim is the only system where
both customers and merchants are absolutely
protected against all loss. Send for sample.
