ENLARGEMENT

“The Tradesmal”

It is a source of pleasure to be able to an-
nounce that the support accorded THE
TRADESMAN has been so prompt and gener-
ous that a permanent enlargement to eight
pages will be made with the issue of March
26—the beginning of the second half-year.
That such an improvement is rendered
possible—not to say necessary—is the strong-
est commendation for the paper and its pol-
icy, and speaks far louder than words of the
esteem in which it is held by the retail deal-
That within the compara-
tively brief space of six months, over 1,600
tradesmen has seen fit to contribute $1 each
toward the support of an authorized repre-
sentative of their interests, nearly every one
of whom has commended the paper in the
strongest terms, is-:proof positive that nearly
all of the 2,600 additional names now on our
mailing list will shortly be transcribed to
our subscription books. With a subscription
list numbering 4,000 live dealers, we shall
have a backing infinitely preferable to that
of “house organs” and purely advertising
sheets; and the fact that the paper is looked
upon with respect and read with interest by
so many dealers renders it a valuable me-
dium for advertisers to reach the retail
trade.

It is the highest ambition of Tue TRADEs-
MAN to serve the retail dealer, faithfully
and profitably. To our subscribers —and to
them alone—do we look for suggestions and
advice. To them only are we ameniable.
When the interests of both branches of the
trade are identical, we stand for the trade—
when their interests are separate, we are for
the retailer solely and absolutely. The
placing of an advertisement in our columns
does not include the right to dictate the pol-
icy of the paper, nor does it render the edi-
tor accountable for any statements he may
make derogatory to the questionable prac-
tices frequently resorted to by certain job-
bers. As we come to better understand
the needs of the trade, we shall be better
able to conduct the paper in such a manner
as to meet the approbation of every dealer.
With the advent of the enlargement, several
new features will be added, and other im-
provements will be made as fast as they are
are deemed desirable. We wish to make
Tue TRADEMAN the trade paper, and so
long as we have the co-operation of the
trade, we shall spare neither labor nor ex-
pense to accomplish that end.

Another word to our readers who are not
already subscribers. The extra expense in-

volved in the coming enlargement is no
small matter, and renders it necessary that
we should realize a considerable sum from
subscriptions, in order not to meet with ab-
solute loss. Non-subscribers have been so
frequently notified that if they did not wish
the paper continued they were at liberty to
order it stopped—at no expense to them-
selyes—and that otherwise it is in order for
them to forward their $1—that no one who
claims to be an honorable man will now
think of writing without enclosing the sub-
scription price.

Fruit Jellies Made Without Fruit.

M. Girard, director of the Paris Municipal
Labratory, says that the chemical knowledge
applied to the concoction of spurious foods
‘and drinks is of a very high order, and
would suffice to make the fortunes of the
adulterators a dozen time over, if applied in
an honest capacity. The matter which
seems to have {aroused him of late is a pecu-
liarly interesting thing in gooseberry jelly
It appears that the article is made entirely of
seaweed. The coloring matter is fuschine,
and the flavor is given by a compound of
acetic ether, tartaric acid, aldehyde, andwen-
anthic. Inspectors often recognize it from
the fact that it is “‘a little more elegant than
the genuine article.” M. Girard ought to
send over to a Chicago jobbing house if he
wants first-class jellies of all kinds made
without the real fruit.

IN SMALL QUANTITIES.

 

|
| Tea. Molasses, and Other Groceries Bought
|

by the Penny’s Worth.
| From the New York Sun.

That some persons are so poor or improvi- |

‘dent that they can buy only the very small-
est quantities of groceries, even a penny’s
worth, at a time, is made manifest by in-
quiries of grocers and venders in almost any
of the poor quarters. In one of the stores a
/ woman was the vender. Her calico dress
was new and tidy, and her face and hands
were clean. Resignation was the principal
expression in her face. The counter, behind
which she stood, was at one side, extending
nearly to a board partition dividing the room.
Opposite the counter were a few boxes, bar-
rels, and baskets, some full, but most of
them empty. On the shelves along the walls
were tin and wooden boxes containing tea,
coffee, spices, and starch, and a few bottles
of bluing. Hanging in conspicuous places
were advertising placards. Under one shelf
was a long wooden box, about the: size of a
coal box, but not so deep, divided into two
parts for brown and white sugar. On one
end of the counter was a small glass case, in
which were a few loaves of bread, and ad-
joining it was a long, narrow one, holding
cheap candies. At the other end of the
counter, and piled high above it, was a quan-
tity of kindling wood, while opposite it,
leaving only room for the door to be opened,
were two large cans of kerosene oil, and one
of molasses. Ona shelf above them were
bars of brown soap, and the smaller cakes
for Jaundry use.

“Have you ever sold a penny’s worth of
tea?” she was asked.

“T have not, but I have heard of a woman
selling a cent’s worth, and measuring it by a
thimble. I have never sold less than an
ounce, which would cost four cents.”

“Would you sell a penny’s worth if called
for?”

“Yes, to oblige a customer. But I should
not as a rule sell it, for it would not pay me.
I could not measure it exactly, and would
probably give more. I have heard of selling
a cent’s worth of molasses.”

“What is the least quantity of sugar you
sell?”

“A quarter of a pound I sell vrey often.
That costs three cents.”

“How much stareli?”

“YT usually sell half a pound for three
cents, but sometimes a person wants several
things, and has not money enough for all
unless very small quantities are taken. Then
T sell a quarter of a pound of starch, but I
have to charge two cents for it; so you see
they lose by it, and it costs them more to live
in the long run.”

“Are people so poor that they are obliged
to buy such small quantities?”

“Not as a rule; but if they have a quarter,
ten cents of it sometimes goes for beer,
while the rest will be spent for necessary
things.”

“Do you cut a bar of soap?”

“Oh, yes, Icuta large bar and sell half
for five cents, but if it is a small cake I
charge three cents. A woman wanting to
finish some washing will often run in for a
three-cent piece, while——”

“Mother, can I have a mouse?” an_ eight-
year-old child interrupted.

“No you can’t, it’s the last one in the
case,” referring to a chocolate imitation
among the candies.

““Mother- :

“Stop? These children always want some-
thing when I have a visitor. They think I
won't refuse them then. No, I don’t keep
eggs. They bring five cents apiece now, and
_no one in this neighborhood can buy them.”

“Do you trust?”

“Some. I had one customer that used to
buy $5 worth a week. Sometimes she would
pay for all, at other times she would only
pay in part. For the past few weeks she
has let it rn. I heard she was going to
move, and I asked her to pay up, but she has
been putting me off. She says itis too far
to come to deal with me now; but when she
was hard up attimes she did not think it
any trouble. My old man is getting disgust-
ed. He says he is working to support other
people. If she don’t pay up soon [Pll bring
her up to the crank.”

“Are there many such customers?”

‘Yes, a good many. I know a poor widow
who had to give up a little grocery because
' she trusted too much. You see, I have to
pay down for everything that comes in the
store. Although I have dealt with my wood
man for two years, I have to pay for the
wood as soon as it is piled on that floor. It
is the same with the oil man. If I should
owe fifteen cents on a can, and not have the
cash ready the minute it was on the counter,
he would take it right out.”

Another grocer in a much better neighbor-
hood said he had sold half a pailful of coal,
also one egg, and very often a penny’s worth
of parsley, one carrot, one leek, and one
turnip; but, of course, the vegetables are
usually required for soup, and they are
bought by well-to-do people. The poor will
often buy partly decayed vegetables, cutting
out the good, thereby getting them for almost
nothing. :

BUSINESS LAW.

 

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

Agency.

In the employment of an agent the princi-
pal bargained for the disinterested skill, dilli-
gence and zeal of the agent for his own ex-
elusive benefit. There rests upon one becom-
ing an agent the duty of fidelity. to his employ-
er’s interest and of acting for the furtherance
and advancement of the business in which
he engages, and not for its injury—Davis vs.
Hamlin, Supreme Court of Tlinois.

 

Chattel Mortgage.

The recording of a chattel mortgage im-
parts notice to all subsequent creditors of
the mortgagor.—Long vs. Uhlich et al.—St.
Louis Court of Appeals.

A description of property in a chattel
mortgage is sufficient if it will enable a third
person, after reasonable inquiry, to identify
the property. Oral testImony is admissible
to aid the description.—Blake vs. Cabanne
et al.—St. Louis ‘Court of Appeals.

 

Arbitration and Award.

Where matters in controversy between
two parties were submitted, and the parties
in whose favor the award was made received
money and notes from the opposite party in
full settlement thereof, knowing at the time
that there was a mistake in the calculation
by which the full amount of interest due
him has not been allowed, it was held that
he could not retain the amount received
under the arbitration and also sue for the
balance claimed to be due by reason of the
mistake.—Neel vs. Field, Supreme Court of
Georgia.

 

Savings Bank Deposits.

The general depositors in a savings bank
are not creditors of the bank. They stand
in the same relation to the assets of the bank
as stockholders in a bank of discount. Upon
the insolvency of a savings bank, a general
depositor can not set off his deposit against
a debt due from him to the bank. A savings
bank having received special deposits out of
the ordinary course of business of a savings
bank, and appropriated such deposits for the
use of the bank, is liable to repay the amount
received, and to that extent is estopped
to claim that the ‘receiving of such de-
posits was not authorized by its charter.—
Cogswell vs. Rockingham Ten Cents Savings
Bank, Supreme Coart of New Hampshire.

 

Corporation Contract.

The power to make contracts and transfer
property conferred upon a corporation by
legislative grant does not authorize the mak-
ing of contracts and the acquisition and
transfer of property in a business other than
that which the corporation is created to con-
duct, but is incidental as a means of exercis-
ing the authority to carry on that business.
A corporation organized under the general
law of the State for the purpose of “‘the man-
ufacture and vending of stoves, tinware and
iron and tin work generally,’’ could not go
into the market and buy promissiory notes
and stock in other corporations and enforce
an executory contract for their sales—Lith-
gow Manufacturing Company vs. Fitch, Su-
preme Courtjof Kentucky.

 

Common Carrier.

In an action against an express company
to recover for theloss of three packages of
furs in which a fraudulent concealment of
the value of the packages is relied on in de-
fense, it was held that although the clause
in the receipt exempting the company from
any greater liability than $50 fora package
unless the value be truly given, may have
been known. to the plaintiff, and that it was
intended to apply to the packages shipped,
and although the plaintiff accepted the re-
ceips with all this knowledge and without
objection thereto, and although the plaintiff
had agreed to pay a valuation charge on fine
furs, and omitted to state a valuation—all
this would not constitute a defense.—Adams
Express Company vs. Boskwitz et al., Su-
preme Court of Illinois.

 

What Constitutes a Walnut Counter.

A cabinet-maker, in a written contract,
agreed to make a walnut counter for one of
his customers; but, instead of using solid
wood, he took for the top and door panels
whitewood, and stained it to imitate walnut.
The customer refused to take the counter,
and in an action to recover the price which
was to be paid the plaintiff offered evidence
to show that it was customary in the trade to
to make walnut counters with such materiais.
He offered to prove some understanding with
the defendent, outside of the contract, by
which it was agreed that the counter was to
be made infconformity with the order. In
this case (Greenstine vs. Borchard) the Su-
preme Court of Michigan decided in favor of
the defendent, saying that no evidence could
be given outside of fhe contract to contradict
it, and that no custom could be proved that
white wood stained top and door panels to a
counter made a walnut counter.

A Somewhat Slippery Subject.

“Freddie, where’s that lard I sent you to
the grocery for?” said a Big Rapids woman
whose snapping eyes indicated a state of
suppressed excitement.

“Oh, mother, I declare I forgot it—the
lard was so greasy it slipped my memory.”

HE RECEIPTED THE BILL.

 

A Grocer Whose -“ a Out with the First
ound.
, From the Detroit Free Press.

A citizen who has an office on Monroe
avenue has for the last three years been ow-
ing a grocery bill. The grocer’s collector
called on him over 100 times to secure pay-
ment of the debt, but was always put off
with some excuse or other. At one time it
was death, another sickness, another bad
luck, and so it went on untilit really seemed
impossible for the debtor to invent any new
pleas. The other day the grocer himself
took the bill in his fist and cornered the
debtor in his office.

“Yes, 1 know—very sorry—hand you the
money a week from to-day,’’ was the smil-
ing excuse.

“See, here!” said the grocer, as he locked
the door and pulled off his coat, ‘I’ve been
figuring on this matter. This bill is for $15.
I can give you the worst licking a man ever
received and get off with a fine of $10. Vl
then give you a receipt for the other five and
the account will be closed. Prepare to be
pulverized !”

“But suppose I lick you—then what?”
queried the other.

“Then there won’t be any resort to law,
and you shall have a receipt in full!”

“That seems to be fair, and I’ll do my
best,” said the debtor, and at it they went.
The grocer expected to get away with him
in about a minute, but he was a deceived
man. It wasn’t over three minutes before
he was knocked over a chair and rendered
hors de combat.

“Ts it a receipt in full?’ asked the debtor
as he sat astride of the other and kept both
hands fastened in his hair.

“She is!”

‘And you'll pay me $2 in cash for the
broken furniture?”

“Ves.”

“Then you may get up, and I’ll reccom-
mend you to a doctor who'll fix your broken
collar-bone as good as new inside a week.

The grocer gave him a receipt for the ac-
count, and handed over $2 in cash, and later
in the day, when telling the story in his
store, he explained:

- “Gentlemen, I’ve sassed scores of citizens,
abused dozens of hackmen, and been aching
for three years past for a chance to pulverize
some one. It’s worth $17 to me to know
that my grit gives out with the first round.”

Bound to Sell the Pants.

“Them pants is too short,” said a huckster
who was bargaining for a pair of trowsers.

“But dey vill stretch my frent, dey vill
stretch. Yust hang veights on de legs und
stretch dem efery night; dot keeps the pags
oudt of the knees.”

“They are too dark,” continued the cus-
tomer.

“Dark,” said the dealer, ‘“‘vat matter ish
dot? The colorish not fast, und dey vill
fade dree shades in two days.”

“They are too wide in the legs,” objected
the huckster, and the accommodating dealer
in accommodating garments said:

“Vell, ven you stretch dem de long vay
don’t dey get schmaller sidevays? De more
you weor dem de petter dey fits you.”

“Look at that big grease spot,” said the
particular buyer.

“Oh, dot’s nothings, said the dealer. ““You
vill haf dem all over vaggin grease in less as
von veek. I drow off den cents for dot spot.
You dake dem for a toller.”’

He took them.

Triumph of Invention.

“Gentlemen, this is the greatest invention
of the nineteenth or any other century,”
cried a vender in front of the office the other
night. “It is a rat trap anda bill file com-
bined,”’ and he held up to view a machine
the size and shape of a double row of false
teeth, hinged at the back. In place of the
teeth were sharp spikes.

“Just put a piece of cheesé on the hook in
this machine and set itin your pantry and
you will find a rat fixed in its jaws in the
morning. Take it to your office in your
pocket, set it on your desk and snap the
jaws on your bills all day. « Oh, yes, it’s the
great triumph of invention. Beats the sew-
ing machine and telegraph, for neither of
them can do two different things with equal
facility, and it only costs two cents.”

Frank Men.

The most agreeable of all companions is a
simple, frank man, without any high preten-
tions to an oppressive greatness; one who
loves life, and understands the use of it;
obliging alike at all hours; above all of a
golden temper, and steadfastly at anchor.
For such a one we gladly exchange the great-
est genius, the most brilliant wit, the pro-
foundest thinker.

. “If the readers only knew how much work
I put on my articles and how hard it is to
write them;’’ said the editor of a grocery
paper, “I think they would read them with
more consideration.” ‘‘Yes,” replied a by-
stander, ‘and if you knew how hard it is for
the readers to read your articles, blamed if
you would write them.”

A Word to Young Merchants.
No man can caleulate the mercantile dis-_

asters arising from the preposterous wishes |

‘of young men, without experience, ability, |

 

connection or capital to rush into business
for themselves. Wise delay in such cases
is promotive of success. The number of
principals is to great in proportion. It is
not every man who is formed to be a leader,
and some are clearly pointed out for subor-
ordinate posts as long as they live. Buf as
these are the very persons who will be slow-
est to recognize the truth, let it be the maxim
of all to adventure no sudden changes; to
wait for undeniable indications of opportun-
ity and discretion; and, above all, to play
the man in regard to the unavoidable annoy-
ances of a subaltern place.

Let the young man with such aspirations
understand well that it costs something to
be successful and honorable. He shourd
firmly determine, at the hazard of much
weariness and smart, to pass contentedly
through the appointed stages and become a
thorough merchant. Consider how many a
man, now foremost in the mercantile ranks
came to this city with all his personal effects
in one bundle, and with but few dollars in
his pocket. Write, then, as the motto of
your business life, “Honest Perseverance.”
Crush every disposition to make changes, ex-
cept where they tend to moral benefit, or
knowledge of business. “‘It is ill transplant-
ing a tree which thrives well in the soil.”
Dismiss from your mind all belief in the di-
vinity of modern pagans, called luek, and
stake nothing on sndden windfalls. Under
the general determination to “succeed,” be-
ware of early disgusts, whether toward per-
sons or work. All new trials are burden-
some; all beginnings are hard and vexatious.
He that ascends the ladder must take the
lowest round. All who are above were once
below. ‘An’ two men ride of a horse, one
must ride behind.”

To consider anything menial, which be-
longs to the career of training, is to be a fool.
The greatest merchants and the greatest
financiers have passed through toils as hum-
ble and as galling. Hard rubs are an indis-
pensible part of education, and it is best to
have the worst first. Meet them cheerfully
and contentedly then, for the after hours, or
days, or years of repose, when business is
let up, will be none the less sweet, for you
have taken a genuine satisfaction as you
went along. You will not make the journey
better, if, like the famous pilgrims to Loret-

 

to, you put peas in your shoes.

here the Lead-Poisoning Comes In.
From the Chicago Purchasing Agent.

There is entirely too much talk of lead-
poisoning by hermetically sealed cans. The
theory of {a chemical action of the various
contents contained in a can on the solder,
creating this poison is the most nonsensical
humbug ever entertained, provided cans are
truly hermetically sealed, in which event the
atmospheric air is excluded, and without
which no chemical action hurtful to
health, can take place. There is however a
very serious hindrance to the use of tins for
such purposes, and this is caused by the
housewife or the domestics in a family, who
attend to the culinary department. If, when
tins are cut, the can were emptied at once
into a porcelain, glass or any earthern vessel,
lead-poisoning would be entirely unknown;
but we have seen cans of peaches, strawber-
ries, tomatoes, etc., partially used for one
meal, set aside in a cooler for next day’s use,
and there is where lead-poisoning comes in
play, as the acid in the fruit or vegetable
will affect the solder as soon as the can is
cut.

row, by giving a fortnight’s notice.”

A Detroit man brought home a keg of

going there, ran against it in the dark and
slapped it so hard that she cut her hand on

her husband was trying to kiss her.

More Sculh Water Sireet Rascality.

“Your reference to Horace Tompkins’ ex-
perience with a car-load of eabbages re-
minds me of a similar transaetion involving
one of the South Water Street thieves,” said
a leading Canal street dealer, the other day.
‘A few years ago Frank Collins, who is now
on the road for John Caulfield, thought that
he could do a pretty good thiug for himself
by buying apples on his own account, and
accumulated a large quantity of the fruit up
at Sparta Center. After correspondence with
a South Water street dealer, he consigned a
sample car-load which was accepted and
paid for, and ten car-loads more orderec. No
sooner did the second consignment reaeh
Chicago, than the firm telegraphed CoHins
that it was refused, giving as a reason that it
was not up to the sample ecar-load. There
was no ground, whatever, for the objection,
as both shipments were made from one pile
of fruit. This isa common practice with
those fellows, as I have known of several in
stances in which they have treated shippers
in this manner. It frequently happens that
the consignor cannot go to Chicago to attend
to the matter, in consequence of which he is
compelled to solicit and aecept any offer
which the consignee may make him. In
Collins’ case, however, I paid a visit to Chi-
cago in his interest, and sueceeded in getting
as much for the apples as he agreed to
take in the first place.”

‘Another piece of sharp practice frequent-
ly resorted to by the South Water street
rogues,” said a prominent fruit deales, ‘“‘is
for the consignee to turna fruit shipment
over to some friend, in the same line of busi-
ness, at from 50 cents to $1 a package less
than the market price, and then ‘whack np’
with the latter on the proceeds. If the ship-
per ‘kicks,’ as it is quite natural he showlé,
the commission merchant shows up his
books. This silences the consignor, even if:
it does not satisfy him.”

A prominent produce dealer relates the
particulars of an unpleasant experience with
one of the sharks. He was in Chicago a
few days ago and ordered a earload of on-
ions, with the understanding that they were
to be as good as sample. Very inferior veg-
etables were shipped, instead, except in the
top of the car, and the dealer aceepted it
and paid the freight beéore he diseovered
the true character of its contents. This is
but one of the many games resorted to by
the South Water street thief.

A ee
Credit in the Grocery Susiness.
From the Grocer and Canner.

To do a credit business does not neecessar.
ily entail loss on a dealer. In referring to
the credit plan, we do not have in view éhe
dealer who does not have the courage to say
“no” to all comers, but the one who under-
stands the probable financial condition of not
only his customers, but those who live in the
vicinity of his place of business, and gives
credit according to such knowledge. There
is always more or less cash in a_ erecit sys-
tem, and it might be a good plan to foster
those who wish to pay by adiscount or other
manner to be decided upon. The eredié sys-
tem has many things in its favor, chief of
which is convenience to patrons, and its tm-
portance cannot be over-estimated. A cts-
tomer can order goods by servant, child er
letter, and without running the risk of fess,
which in many cases would occur where fhe
desired articles could only be bought for
eash. There are many instances of tke
character, which are apparent to all deaters,
and to mention them unnecessary. Bt
goes without comment that,it is pleasanter to
sell and buy on such conditions than to risk
the snub of the cash dealer.

The time for settling accounts should be
looked after sharpiy. There are certain eus-
tomers who ‘can settle accounts at the end of
each week, others require 30 days, and m
some eases a credit of three months is re-
quired, but the “great unknown” must pay
cash. Each eustomer should know the time
at which he is expected to pay accounts, anel
if not paid at time agreed upon (unless other-
wise understood) interest should be charged:
at current rates for the overtime. This is,
we believe, the proper way to econduet the
grocery business, so far as the eash or credit

system is concerned.

Grocery Market.

Business isfair and several lines are ad-
vaneing, noticeably prunes and cheese.
They are both going up to stay. Primes
barely pay the cost of importation at
to-day’s prices. Good cheese is growing
scarcer every day and will not be lower un-
Loose
Museatels, Valencias and currants are easier.
Water white oil is off ce, no change in
legal test. Sugars are still sick, aud quota-
tions are again reduced. Syrups are easier
and it wouldseem that they had touched
bottom. Refiners claim to be loosing money,
at present prices and it is extremely unlike-
ly that many of them will make European
trips. on this winter’s profits. Teas and
coffees are firm and the demand for them
good. A London syndicate is getting up an
enormous corner on whole pepper, they hay-
ing purchased 1,000 tons, or 17,000 bags, in
one lot. In all probability they will be
able to bull the market, and force priees

The following good word, from the cur-
rent number of the Cadillac Times, is ap-
preciated ali the more from the fact that it
voices the sentiment of every Cadillac deal-

the most popular trade journal in the State.

The American hog is now declared by an
official report to be generally a healthy ani-
mai and pork to be a wholesome meat. The
universality of the use of pork, bacon and
lard by the people of this country attests
with far more ;emphasis than any official re-
port could the good character of these arti-
cles as food. The people of the United
States eat pork and bacon and are healthy.
We do not therefore anticipate anything im-
portant as a result of this report.

ST

A Northern corre spondent notes the fol
lowing contrast between the past and pres_
ent, from which an inference, too obvious for
explanation, may be drawn:

Bond's Mill, a station on the Grand Rapids
& indiana Railroad, six miles north of Cad-
iliac, three years ago was a town of 300 in-
habitants, with two saw mills and one plan-
ing mill in full blast, two stores, post office,
school house and meat market.
place is all gone. No signs
former prosperity, and three famtlies form
its total population. Numbers of just such
places are scattered through the pine region.

 

Literary News and Gossip.

few purely class journals exhibit as much
general ability and special knowledge of the
subject treated as Building, a monthly arch-
itectural publication, issued by Wm. T. Pow_
stock, P.O. Box, 27, New York, at $1 per year,
The illustrations combine both the practical
and the elaborate, and the other contents are
articles relating particularly to architecture,
decoration and furnishing.

What must prove a useful publication to
builders and those desiring to erect houses of
aimost every description is “Palliser’s Useful
Details,” published at Bridgeport, Conn. It is
replete with drawings and specifications as to
the manner in which a building can be con-
structed with all the modern conveniences at a
small cost.

Best Spring Gear Ever Invented.

The Spiral Spring buggy has withstood
the test of constant use, and stands pre-em-
inent and abcye all other competitors.
It has not attained that distinction
through extensive advertising or paid rec-
ommendations, but by reason of its worth
as a vehicle for everyday use. Aside from
the superior merits of the spring, the work-
manship and finish are invariably perfect.

Commercial travelers or drummers some-
times meet with a questioner who paralyzes
them. A certain drummer felt all tore up
when, in his boarding house at the dinner
table, his little nine-year old sister from the
country innocently asked him: ‘“‘When are
you going peddling again?”

The latest project on the tapis in Berlin
is the founding of a “share company for
theremoval of trichine from pork.” <A
patent is being applied for to exploita re-
cently invented process to that effect, con-
sisting of pickling pork by means of a high-
ly heated brine, in which muriatic acid
forms a large ingredient, which process, it
is claimed, will kill any trichine that may
be in the meat and preserve the latter perma-
nently.

Chicago Hotel Reporter: No hotel keep-
er should allow a guest to register as “Mr.

be his wife it must be so written, or the
lady’s name registered in full; if his com-
panion be nota member of his immediate
family, then in all cases the names must

When a railroad company finds its divi-|

dends too large, it waters its capital; but as
public opinion isnot favorable now-a-days
to such tricks, a new dodge has just been
successfully worked by the United Pipe
Line Co., carriers of crude oil. The whole
business has been sold out to another com-
pany having a much larger capital stock and,
while possibly only moderate dividends on
the latter will be earned, the effect will be
exactly equivalent to a watering transaction.

PATENTED JUNE 15, 1883. i
This invention supplies a long felt want for a cheap portable bed, that can be put away in
a small space when not in use, and yet make a roomy, comfortable bed when wanted. Of the
many cots that are in the market there is not one, cheap or expensive, on which a comfortable
ee s rest can be had. They are all narrow, short, without spring, and in short no bed at all.
While THE BEDETTE folds into a small space, and is as light as anything can be made for dura-
bility, when set up it furnishes a bed wide and long enough for the largest man, and is as com-
fortable to lie upon as the most expensive bed. It is 80 constructed that the patent sides, reg-
ulated by the patent adjustable tension cords, form the most perfect spring bed. The canvas
covering is not tacked to the frame, as on all cots, but is made adjustable, so that it can be
taken off and put on again by any one in a few minutes, or easily tightened, should it become
loose, at any time from stretching. It is a perfect spring bed, soft and easy, without springs
or mattress. For warm weather it is a complete bed, without the additionjof anything;ffor cold
weather it is only necessary to add sufficient clothing. The “* BEDETTE” is a household neces-
sity, and no family after once using, would be without it. It is simple in its construction, and
et ey ae get out of repair. It makes a pretty lounge, a perfect bed, and the price is within
reach of all.

: Price—36 in. wide, by 61¢ ft. long, $3.50; 30 in wide, by 614 ft. long, $3.00; 27 in.
wide, by 449 ft. long, cover not adjustable, $2.50. For sale by furniture dealers every-
where. If not for sale by your dealer it will be sent to any address on receipt of price.

ALABASTINE!

eHGTa Rey ey

Alabastine is the first and only prepara-
tion made from calcined gypsum rock, for
application to walls with a brush, and is
fully covered by our several patents and
perfected by many years of experiments.
It is the only permanent wall finish, and
admits of applying as many coats as de-
sired, one over another, to any hard surface
without danger of scaling, or noticeably
adding to the thickness of the wall, which
is strengthened and improved by each ad-
ditional coat, from time to time.
enly material for the purpose not dependent
upon glue for its adhesiveness ; furthermore
it is the only preparation that is claimed
to possess these great advantages, which
are essential to constitute a durable wall
finish. Alabastine is hardened on the. wall

by age, moisture, etc.; the plaster absorbs |

the admixtures, forming a stone cement,
while all kalsomines, or other whitening
preparations, have inert soft chalks, and
glue, for their base, which are rendered
soft, or scaled, in a very short time, thus
necessitating the well-known great incon-
venience and expense, which all have ex-
perienced, in washing and seraping off the
old coats before refinishing. In addition
to the above advantages, Alabastine is less
expensive, as it requires but one-half the
number of pounds to cover the same amount
of surface with two coats, is ready for use
by simply adding water, and is easily ap-
plied by any one.

Richard W. Warner was born in Grand
Rapids in 1849, and was educated in the
public schools of this city. In his youth,
he learned the trade of photographer, which
he followed for eight years. In 1869 he en-
tered the employ of L.H. Randall & Co.,
beginning at the bottom and working his
way steadily to the position of traveling
salesman, which he assumed in 1871, and
filled acceptably until 1875. At various
times during that period he covered the en-
tire territory worked by the house, which
included all the towns East, South and
West within fifty miles of the city and to
the Straits of Mackinaw on the North. In
1875, he formed a co-partnership with James
McSkimin, under the firm name of McSkim-
in & Warner, and engaged in the coffee and
spice business at 91 Canal street, inaugurat-
| ing the Enterprise Coffee and Spice Mills,
which continued in existence under various
owners untila few months ago. Tiring of
the business in about three months, he sold
out his interest in the business to his part-
ner, and returned to the employ of L. H.
Randall & Co., working all the contiguous
towns and the city trade, remaining with the
firm through its various changes until April
9, 1883, when he resigned to accept the
position of manager for the new firm of L.
H. Randall & Co., a position he still holds
under the present firm of Il. E. Messmore.

Mr. Warner’s personal characteristics are
a matter of common knowledge with almost
every dealer.who buys at this market. A
German by birth, and a fluent conversation-
alist in that language, he hasa large trade
among German tradesman, which he is able
to hold indefinitely. His aggregate sales
during 1882—the last year he was with the
firm of Freeman, Hawkins & Co.—were
$156,764.65, and his collections during the

 

is one of the best—if not the best—records
ever made by a Grand Rapids traveler. He
was one of the first members of the Michi-
gan Commercial Travelers’ Association, was
the second vice-president of that body elect-
ed from this city, and has always been iden-
tified with every move intended to benefit
the “boys,” by whom he is held in high
esteem. In addition to his inside duties,
he still continues regular visits to the trade
at Sand Lake, Morley, Lowell and Saranac,
besides holding his city trade.

E. C. Whitney writes: Your lastjissue speaks
about a dead-beat column. I think it would be
a good thing, if every patron would contribute
his share, otherwise the one would profit by
the other’s experience. The greatest objection
would be it might crowd other matter out, un-
the paper was enlarged.

Spalding & Thayerreport: Wewant to add
another name to the list of dead-beats: Mr.
James Hall left this place a few days ago con-
siderably in debt, not making any provision
for payment, oreven saying he ever would
pay. Hestole away and is now at Saranac.
We were fortunate in losing only $5 by him.

Dr. John Leeson has adopted an a very in-
genious method of bringing delinquents to
time. Under the head of ‘‘Assignments,” he
publishes a list of bad-pay customers, with the
amounts owing by each, in the local papers,
offering to assiga the accounts to any one at 50
cents on the dollar. New names are inserted
every two weeks, and other delinquents are
warned to call and settle to avoid publicity. We
have written to Dr. Leeson, asking him to give
our readers his opinion of the merits of the
scheme he has adopted, and to state whether
the practical benefits derived are sufficient to
warrant the undertaking, and! hope to have his
answer by next week.

Business Enterprise at Cadillac.

A Cadillae correspondent writes: McCoy
& Ayer, of Grand Rapids, have bought of
D. A. Blodgett several sections of pine, and,
as soon as the weather permits, will erecta
large saw mill with a capacity of 50,000 feet
per day. TheySestimate a five years’ cut.

Anagent of Ohio capitalists has been
here this week with the view of purchasing
the Michigan Iron Works and beginning the
manufacture of agricultural implements.

J. Cummer & Son, of Cadillac,are making
active preparations toward extending their
logging road to Lake City. This new line will
tap a tract of 125,000,000 feet, at least a 10
years’ cut.

| N. A. Barney, of the Occidental, is having

with pure water. The test made showed
the well to be a great success.

In the name of numerous victims, we in-
sist that it is time to call a halt. The water
supply at that hotel has always been out of
proportion to the dairy canacity, and under
the new arrangement the cows will stand no

“We have been in receipt of Tok TRADES-
MAN for some time, and have learned to like
it. _We want Tue TRADESMAN while you
hold your present position in regard to gen-
eral business. We can see no reason why
trade should not be clean and honorable.”

Some Objections to ‘‘ The Tradesman.”’
So frequent and numerous have been the
good words showered upon THE TRADES-
MAN Of late that we had come to look upon
an adverse opinion as an impossibility; but
the monotony has been at length relieved by
the receipt of two letters—one an illy-spelled
scrawl, which is reproduced vebatim. Itis
a source of no small satisfaction to know
that the first objection to the paper came
from a man of no education and even less
honesty. R. H. Cadwell, of Ithaca, writes
as follows:

“Sur—I hev bin receivang your Paper for
the past month the Tradesman if you quit
now we will call it squire if not i shal charge
you box rent which I consider worth more to
me than your paper yours truly”

Instead. of receiving the paper “ one
month,” this Cadwell has been receiving it
nearly six months, and his screed is evident-
ly written for the purpose of eluding the
payment of 50 cents—a very small thing for
any man to do.

J. P. Visner, of Hopkin’s Station, writes:

‘‘We had reason to suppose from what you
said from time to time that you made no
charge for it. If times were better, we would
take it, but under the cireumstances we do
not acknowledge that we owe you, and _ pre-
for you would stop the papev.”

If Mr. Visner can find any expression in
any TRADESMAN of any date to substantiate
his first statement, he will be presented with
a paid-up subscription for twenty-five years.
It is a peculiar species of reasoning that be-
cause times are hard, he dues not owe for a
paper he has perused with pleasure and
profit for nearly six months, whereas, “‘if
times were better,’’ he would pay for it.

There never has been—and never will be
—any intention on our part to make any
man pay for a paper he has not ordered and
does not want. But when a man has re-
ceived a paper six months, and during that
period has been notified a half dozen times
that if he does not want, it enough to pay
for it, he is at liberty to stop it—at no ex-
pense to himself—it is not now in order for
him to stop it without paying for it for the
time he has received it; and any farther at-
tempts to accomplish that end will stamp the
man as ‘dishonorable,’ and insure the pub-
‘lication of his name in a black-list.

The Fruit Market.

Oranges remain searce and prices continue
to advance, especially Valencias. Still high-
er prices are looked for soon, although a re-
action may take place after the arriyals be-
come heavy again. Lemons are steady and
firm at about former prices.

Dates are cheaper at the present time
than for many years—in ’fact some kinds
never before reached so low a figure. Frails
are selling at 614¢, Skins 6c in whole pack-
ages, 50 Ib Persians 7c, 50 fh Fards 8 @ 8c,
and 10 th Fards 10c. At these very low
prices, a lively demand must be the result,

and possibly higher prices in the spring.

In a Natstell

The best goods for the least money ean be
had only at such places where expenses are
in proportion to the amount of business done
and this is where THE OLD RELIABLE
has the advantage over competitors. The
secret of our success is that we buy goods as
low as cash can produce them. We are thus
prepared to place staple and fancy Groceries
onthe market at such prices as obtains the con-
fidence of the CLOSE BUYER who is desirous

of getting full value for his money. Then,
again, we are under no extravagant ex-
penses, nor enormous rents, nor supernum-
erary expensive agents to tax and annoy
customers with, besides not having the profit
to divide between three, four or six partners,
we can afford to be liberal sellers.

the Muskegon mills is estimated by reliable
lumbermen to be fully 450,000,000 feet, con-
siderably more than was at first contempla-
ted. The favorable winter accounts for
this increase ina large measure. With the
old logs in the river the stock for the mills
will be ample for a full séason’s operations
and a busy time may therefore be expected
next summer in the city. For all of which
the merchants and the workingmen will be
glad.
