Irving F. Clapp, the Allegan writes Tie TRADESMAN as follows: What information can you give us that will assist us in presenting to our Village Board the necessity of requiring peddlers to pay a license into our Village Treasury and check—to a certain extent—the peddling habit? The proper way to proceed under the cir- cumstances is to present a petition to the Board of Trustees, signed by the entire gro- cery trade of the town, setting forth the fact that legitimate trade deserves the recogni- tion of the corporation—that the grocery trade buy lots and erect store buildings; that they pay taxes on lots, buildings and stocks; that they build sidewalks and keep them in repair for the convenience of pedestrians; that they sprinkle streets or pay for having them sprinkled; that they contribute to churches, benevolent societies, celebrations and public events of nearly every descrip- tion; that they are foremost in every good work and are never backward in any move- ment which tends to build up the commun- ity in which they live. It is also advisable to set forth the status of the peddler. The latter individual never pays taxes on lot, store or stock—seldom even on a residence. He does not contribute to the support of schools, churches or pub- lic improvements; he builds no sidewalks, or sewers and grades no streets; he never contributes his quota to the street sprinkler and is never to be found when a paper is passed around to assist a widow in distress or to raise funds to get up a celebration. This much the peddler does not do. What he does do, is infinitely more damaging to the business interests of any community. Itis a matter of common acknowledgement that the farmer trades where he can best sell his own produce. The grocer buys whatever is offered, expecting to be able to sell it again grocer, to his regular customers. In too many cases, he finds that the peddler has supplied his consumets with inferior produce at a lower price than he can sell at a profit. The result is that the produce which he has taken in exchange for cash or groceries is sold at a loss or decays on his hands. The next time the farmer brings in a load of produce, the grocer is compelled to refuse to take it and the farmer transfers -his trade to another town—a town where peddlers are not allowed to step in and ruin the summer business of both the grocer and farmer. The above comparison, properly brought before the Board of Trustees of any town, ought to appeal to fair-minded men in such a way as to secure the enactment of ordi- nances favorable to legitimate trade and the best interests of all concerned. The ruling of Judge Sloan, of Milwaukee, in which he held boycotting a crime punish- able under the statutes, is receiving the commendation of conservative men every- where. The opinion was delivered during the recent trial of Robert Schilling, in the course of which Judge Sloan ruled that since Schilling threafened to put the vast machin- ery of the Knigfits of Labor in operation to prevent the public from patronizing the firm boyeotted he injured the firm’s income, which was as much property as machinery or buildings, and that to attempt to dictate to them against their will whom to employ or discharge was a parallel offense. ‘‘AIl organizations of the kind seeking to inter- fere with the business of manufacturers or others are not in accordance with law,” said the judge. ‘‘Laborers or capitalists may organize for their own protection, but have no right to take the aggressive. In our so- cial and industrial life and our government, the socialist, the anarchist, and the boycott have no place.” The prevailing severe drought which seems to be common in nearly every dairy locality in the country, is causing a strong upward movement in the price of butter and cheese. Butter is up fully one cent from the quota- tions of two weeks ago and cheese has sus- tained an advance of fully 3¢ cent. The drouth is decreasing the output of Michigan butter and cheese fully 20 per cent. Only one-fifth of one per cent. of the shoes made in this country are produced in prisons according to statistics prepared under the direction of the Government. To judge by the great cry raised by the labor yawpers, however, one would naturally be led to think that more shoes were produced by convict than by free labor. A Newaygo patron of THE TRADESMAN writes as follows: ‘‘Business is pretty quiet here at present, but every one takes a cheer- ful view of the situation and looks for bet- ter times ahead. If THe TRADESMAN wasn’t a regular visitor, hard times would seem still harder.” AMONG THE TRADE. IN THE CITY. M. W. Hufford, meat dealer at 168 West Bridge street, has sold out. J. E. Kennedy succeeds Herner & Ken- nedy in the hardware business on South Division street. J. C. Paris, general dealer at Kent City, his closed out his stock and will engage in the boot and shoe, furnishing goods and millinery business at 606 South Division street. John Popp is erecting a two-story frame building, 18x41 feet in dimensions, adjacent to his residence at 75 Clancy street and will put a grocery stock in the lower floor as soon as the building is completed. 8. J. Henry and R. J. Rosenberry, for- merly engaged in trade at Cedar Hill, Ohio, have engaged in the wholesale fruit, pro- duce and commission business at 16 Cres- ent avenue under the firm name of 8. J. Henry & Co. Barker & Lehnen the Blanchard general dealers, recently gave Arthur Meigs & Co. and Spring & Company, as trustees, a chat- tel mortgage for about $2,800. The latter took possession of the stock last week, when Attorney Smith secured a second mortgage for $450 in behalf of H. Leonard & Sons and other creditors and obtained posssession. The holders of the first mortgage then made a demand for the possession of the stock, which was acceded to after considerable de- lay. President Herrick will make a novel sug- gestion at the next meeting of the Retail Grocers’ Association, which is not unlikely to be adopted by that organization. Mr. Herrick’s suggestion is that a certain por- tion of every regular meeting of the Asso- ciation be set apart for the transaction of business between the jobber and retailer— that the jobber be invited to present any bargain he may have in his respective de- partment and that members be given an op- portunity to purchase] any offerings of the kind they may need. Mr. Herrick’s idea is that the expense of such a proceeding on the part of the jobber will be comparatively nominal—that by availing himself of that opportunity he could see as many grocers to- gether as he or his representative could possibly visit in the course of two or three days, and that the advantage to both jobber and retailer would be manifest from the start. The project is certainly unique and will undoubtedly be given a trial. AROUND THE STATE. Chas. B. Rogers, grocer at Podunk, has sold out. A receiver has been appointed for Harter & East grocers at Niles. Charles Raymond has engaged i in the gro- cery business at Joyfield. J. H.

Smith in the hardware business at Ludington. The Lansing Paper Co., at Lansing, is succeeded by the Lansing Book & Paper Co. L. B. Brockett & Son succeeds A. H. Munson & Co. in the hardware business at Charlotte. C. C. Bailey, for several years snannnlts in trade at Fife Lake, has removed to Buffalo, N. Y., where he has extensive landed inter- ests. Leavenworth & Co., formerly engaged in general trade at Forman, but more recently at Midland, liave closed out their business at the latter place to Lewis Eastman. A Big Rapids correspondent writes: Mr. Brackney, shipping clerk for J. G. McElwee & Co. for several years, has put in a stock of boots and shoes in the store formerly oc- cupied by Wm. Jacques. Woodhams & Bush and R. Granger & Son, both engaged in the lumber business at Plainwell, have consolidated their stocks and will hereafter transact business under the name of the Plainwell Lumber Co. The firm of Herder & Lahuis, and Wm. DeKruip, of the firm of Moerdyke, De- Kruip & Co., Zeeland, have entered into a copartnership and have become owners of the stocks of dry godds, groceries, etc., of the two firms. Jos. Hanville has closed out his grocery stock at Ravenna and sold his drug stock to Barry & Lewis and will engage in the sa- loon business. Barry & Lewis will ‘close out their grocery stock and devote their en- tire attention to the drug business. Fred. Hotchkiss, the Hastings druggist, has adopted the expedient originated in this State by F. N. Latimer, of Ludington, in setting apart one front window for a chicken house and coloring the chicks different shades, as an advertisement for a certain line of dyes. The suit brought against W. B. Falk, the Big Rapids druggist, by C. G. Gardner, for damages sustained by the latter in the sub- stitution of mercury for morphine pills, re- sulted in a verdict of no cause of action. Mr. Falk’s defense was that Gardner helped himself to pills in the absence of a regular clerk and therefore had only himself to blame for his narrow escape from fatal poi- soning. A Big Rapids correspondent writes as fol- lows: Thestock of boots and shoe pur- chased of T. Edmonds by Wm. Jacques some two months ago has been sold on chattel mortgage by W. D. Robinson & Co., of De- troit. Mr. Jacques purchased it subject to the mortgage, paying $400 down and buying $600 more of goods and selling about $1,000 worth, making about $600 involved in the transaction, with a judgment holding over him. MANUFACTURING MATTERS. D. E. McIntyre, lumber manufacturer at Cadillac, has given a bill of sale. Saranac Local: FitzGibbon & King are taking under advisement the removal of their stave factory at Reed City.

Fin- cher; Secretary. G. F. Cady. C. E. Foot Quinine from a Newspaper Standpoint. From the New York Tribune. It may be some consolation to sufferers from malaria to know that there is little if any impure quinine in the market at pres- ent. This desirable state of things is not due to any sudden spasm of virtue on the part of druggists, but arises from causes that are purely economical. Quinine is low- er in price now than it has ever been; it is selling wholesale at 55 cents an ounce, and it is so much cheaper proportionately than its usual adulterants, that a loss rather than a profit would result from mixing these with it. ‘‘People are almost certain to get quinine pure this season, no matter where they buy it,” said the proprietor of a large drug store. “The most unscrupulous druggist has no incentive to adulterate it now as he did when he used to pay $3 and $4 an ounce for it. Then it paid to mix it with cinchona, which sold for $1.or so an ounce. Yes, that is about the only ingredient used and it has the properties though not the strength of quinine. About the only fault found with a compound of this kind was that it lacked power. Nothing injurious ever re- sulted from its use nor, in fact, do I know of any substance that would probably be mixed with quinine which might harm the system. The most despicable form of fraud practiced with this drug, is the short weight dodge. This is worked by some of the ex- treme ‘cui-rate’ stores and unprincipled dealers. They sell a pill that contains but one grain of quinine fora two-grain pill, thereby making just double the usual profit, which one would think large enough at present. An ounce of quinine costs the retail druggist a little over 50 cents. There are 480 grains in an ounce. At a centa grain this gives a profit of over $4an ounce, allowing for the cost of the rice flour and gum-arabic which form the body of the pills as well as for the time required to roll them. Some of the high priced druggists charge two cents a grain, making a profit of about $9 an ounce, or something like 1,800 per cent on theirinvestment. The cheap stores l referred to that give one grain instead of two to their customers, make almost as much as this and few of them are ever found out.” ‘‘How do you account for the cheapness of the drug at this time?” was asked. “Quinine, as you are aware, is derived from Peruvian or Jesuit’s bark, obtained from various species of cinchona which grow in the Columbian, Ecuador, Bolivian and Pertvian forests of South America. The Countess de la Cinchon, wife of a Peruvian viceroy, was cured of afever by its use, and when she returned to Europe intro- duced the medicine there about the middle of the seventeenth century. It derived the name cinchona from her. This bark used to be gathered by the Cascarillas Indians chiefly, who obtained it by cutting down the trees that produced it. This, of course, soon thinned out the more valuable trees and such was the reckless stupidity of the Peruvian government that though it put every obstacle in the way of the tree being planted elsewhere, it never attempted by a system of forestry to renew the riches thus improvidently wasted. The result was that quinine became scarcer and scarcer every year; the price of it went up to an extravagant figure; at one time it seemed as if this most important drug was likely to become unob- tainable. It was at this time that the East Indian government determined to try to nat- uralize the cinchona tree in India. To ob- tain seeds and young plants was a difficult task, but Professor Clement R. Markham, Dr. Spruce and others accomplished it, and in a short time a flourishing plantation was yielding large quantities of quinine on the Neilgherry Hills of southern India. The tree has since become naturalized in Java, the mountainous regions of Jamaica and many other places, so that we are almost if not entirely independent of the Peruvian forests for this great febrifuge. It is this increased production of it all over the world, one might say, which is making the drug cheaper and cheaper every year as the de- mand for it becomes more widespread in this and all other countries where “* ‘Men shiver and shake. 299 Dose, swear and bake’. —__—>--- >—_- Forty-Three Out of Sixty-One.

Graham Roys returned last week from a trip through the Michigan peppermint dis- trict and was seen by a reporter of THE TRADESMAN and questioned as to the status of the crop. ‘The appearance of the peppermint crop has changed considerably in the last month,” said Mr. Roys. ‘The fact is, many went into the business without experience, and with much of the land in poor condition. Late planting, poor roots and the drouth have changed the prospects to less than an average crop. A Mendon man tells me that he will not have half an average crop. A Florence man says that fields which looked so well four weeks ago must have rain soon or it will be a failure. I am sure that there cannot be more than an average crop, even if rain comes this week.” ~.—_—— Beyond Redemption. “Do you believe in the power of the Holy Spirit?” asked a street preacher of a gentle- man in the crowd before him. “I’m sorry to say that at present I do not,” replied the gentleman. ‘Did you ever believe it?” pursued the preacher. **Yes, several years ago.” “Then why not now, dear, dying, sinning brother, why not now?” pleaded the preach- er. “T’ve been elected to Congress since then, that’s why.” The preacher picked out another man. —_—_-—>-++ Ink and rust stains may be removed from wash goods, says the Rep.

Pain is given for the wise purpose of inform- ing us of the presence of danger and disease. Any little excitement of an unusual nature disturbs the balance of the system, the ner- vous energies are exhausted, and headache and a hundred other disturbances are the re- sult. Many of the miseries of modern man and womanhood might becured and prevent- ed were their approach heeded and resisted, having their origin in derangements of the liver and blood, dyspepsia, jaundice, indiges- tion, costiveness and other unwholesome con- ditions. Evils of a diseased nature find a cer- tain cure by the use of Golden Seal Bitters. In this medicine, nature, aided by art, has pro- duced a rare combination of medicinal prop- erties, wisely adapted for the cure of diseases common to mankind.

STOWE & BRO., Proprietors. Office in Eagle Building, 49 Lyon St., 3d Floor. Telephone No. 95, [Entered ,at the Postofice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter.) “WEDNESDAY, ‘JULY ‘4, 1886, How to Endorse a Check. Very few otherwise intelligent and edu- cated people understand how to properly endorse a bank check payable to their order, and few realize the inconvenience they cause by placing their endorsement in an awkward position. An observance of the following rules will enable anybody to place their sig- nature in the proper place: 1. Write across the back—not lengthwise. 2. The top of the back is the left of the face. 3. To deposit a check, write ‘‘For depos- it,” and below this yourname. A clerk not having the power of attorney to sign or in- dorse checks, can deposit his firm’s checks by writing on the top of the back “For de- posit only to credit of ——, and below this write his own name. 4, Simply writing your name on the back of a check signifies that it has passed through your hands and is payable to the bearer. 5. Always endorse a check just as it ap- pears on the face. For instance, if the check is payable to “‘G. Read,” endorse ‘‘G. Read;” if to “Geo. Read” endorse ‘‘Geo. Read;” if to ‘George F. Read” endorse “George F. Read.” If the spelling of the name on the face of the check is wrong, endorse first just as the face appears, and below the proper way. For instance, the check is pay&ble on face to ‘‘George Reade,” endorse ‘“‘George Reade,” and below this first indorsement write what it should have been, ‘‘George Read.” 6. If you wish to make the check payable to some particular person, write ‘‘Pay to —— or order. : In England all checks are payable to bear- er, but in this country all strangers present- ing checks for payment must be identified by some one known to the bank. —_———__2- Medicines in Disguise. “Do you know,” said a bon vivant toa Chicago Mail man as he poured a liberal supply of Worcester sauce over his chop at the club, ‘“‘that this relish was first intro- duced as a medicine?” The club man didn’t know it. ‘It was, though. It contains at least one of the most. nauseating drugs known, assafcetida, and the original formula was evolved by a noted physician for a no- ble patient, whose high living had impaired his digestion. An effort was made to dis- guise the drugs, and it is generally conced- ed that the attempt was successful, but they are there all the same.” And the stream of information was interrupted while the drug drenched chops were put where they would do the most good, no diminution of appetite following the revelation. “That is not the only medicine in com- mon use without a suspicion of its origin,” he continued. ‘*The famous Eau de Cologne was first put up as a panacea for all the ills.that flesh was heir to. It was taken in- ternally and used as a lotion. At the house of the original maker in the ancient city on the Rhine is to be seen the old circulars and labels in Italian and French, setting forth the valueof the cure all. Its remedial effect no proving so great as its elegance as a perfume and as its sale for a medicine began to be restricted by taxes and stamps and licenses, it was sold without any indication of its in- tended use, and it is now an example of the survival of the fittest. Iam told that even now it is used as a ‘tipple’ by many French and English ladies.” ————_ >? > — Cheese Two Centuries Old. Washington Despatch to the Boston Herald. Boyd Winchester, the Consul-General of the United States to Switzerland, has just completed some exhaustive researches in regard to the cheese industry of that coun- try. He has made certain discoveries that the cheese makers of this country will be a little slow to believe. He claims to have seen cheeses that were more than 200 years old. One of the customs that formerly pre- vailed in the cheese regions of that country, Mr. Winchester says, was for friends of the bride and bridegroom to join in the presen- tation on their wedding day of an elaborate cheese. This cheese was used as a family register and heirloom on which the births, marriages and deaths were recorded. He says that he has seen some of these ‘‘old cheeses” that date back to 1660. In many parts of Switzerland cheese forms the principal diet of the people. He says that newfcheese often causes sickness. When this is the case the patient is treated in the homeopathic fashion with old cheese, which generally effects a cure. — > -@-<—_-— Out of His Head.

From the Dry Goods Chronicle. If a man cheats you once it is his fault, but if he cheats you twice it is your fault. The majority of those who engage in bus- inesi, strictly, so-called, fail at least once in their lifetime. Wisdom in business consists in adopting such rules as tend to make the business an agreeable pursuit. Books have been called the merchant’s repeating clock, to tell him how he goes on. They should be carefully looked after. There is no position so strong as that of the man who stands upon his head—if he be not induced to the activity of just thinking and clear reasoning he will hardly be coerced to it. When an agent has deviated from his or- ders and you do not intend to assent to it, give immediate notice of your dissent. Silence is considered in law an equivalent to a rati- fication. A merchant who desires to make a wise disposition of his time should so regulate it as to give each of these great sources of hap- piness—religion, knowledge and business— its proportionate share of his attention. A merchant should not only be a good judge of the articles in which he deals, but he should also know where they are manu- factured, of what, the manufacturer’s prices, how bought, and the best markets to buy and sell in. There is unquestionably an analogy be- tween all the various pursuits of mankind. Those who have been distinguished for suc- cess in business are of the same stamp as those who have been eminent in politics, war, literature or science. In all cases of credit the seller impliedly promises to deal fairly, and charges a profit proportionate to his opinion of the risk, and the buyer agrees to make a fair representa- tion of his circumstances, to act with such prudence and to live with such economy. that he may reasonably hope to pay his bills at maturity. A merchant who aims to succeed in busi- ness must aim at these two points; first, to be sure that he can satisfy a wide demand for the articles he deals in on the lowest practical terms; secondly, that everybody within the proper scope of his business is made aware of his ability and confident of his disposition to do so. A merchant who resolves, but suffers his . resolution, to be weakened by the first coun- ter suggestion of a friend, who fluctuates from opinion to opinion, from plan to plan, and veers like a weathercock to every point of the compass, with every breath of caprice that blows, can never attain to greatness or success. ——_>—>__— Cheese Made from Potatoes. A foreign paper says that cheese is made from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony. _ After having collected a quantity of pota- toes of good quality, giving the preference to a large, white kind, they are boiled ina cauldron, and, after becoming cool, they are reduced to a pulp, either by means ot a grater or mortar. To five pounds of this pulp, which ought to be equal as possible, is added one pound of sour milk and the necessary quantity of salt. The whole is kneaded together and the mixture covered up and allowed to lie for three or four days, according to the season. At the end of this time it is kneaded anew, and the cheeses are placed in little baskets, when the super- fluous moisture escapes. They are then allowed to dry in the shade, and placed in layers in large vessels, where they must re- main for fifteen days. The older these cheeses are the more their quality improves. Three kinds are made. ‘The first and more common is made as detailed above; the second with four parts of potatoes and two parts of curded milk; the third with two parts of potatoes and four parts of cow orewe milk. These cheeses have this advantage over other kinds—they do not engender worms; and they keep fresh for a number of years, provided they are placed in a dry situation and in well closed vessels. ml A New Drummer Yarn. From the Boston Transcript. One day a certain commerce jal pilgrim was in the wire grass region and stopped ata town while the superior court was in ses- sion. After doing up the place he dropped into the court house, principally because there was nowhere else to drop. While he was there one of the lawyers handed an or- der to the judge for his signature. His Honor put on his specs grav ely and began to read the writing slewly. He made very little progress, but stumbled from word to word with the greatest difficulty and halt- ing. The drummer leaned over to a stalwart countryman and remar ked: ‘“Your judge doesn’t seem to read writing readily.” ‘Read writin’! gusted man‘*‘he can’t hardly read readin’! —— > The Word Bankrupt. Few words have so remarkable history as the familiar word bankrupt. The money changers of Italy had, it is said, benches or stalls in the bourse or exchange in former times, and at these they conducted their or- dinary business. When any of them fell back in the world and became insolvent, his bench was broken, and the name of broken bench, or bancho rotto, was given him. When the word was adopted into English, it was nearer the Italian than it now is, being “‘bankerout” instead of bank- rupt. h—l” exclaimed the dis- 999 MOULTON & REMPIS, Manufacturers of SETTEES, ROOF CRESTING OPO ERS ES IPN ee VASES.

Dollars and dimes! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! If a man is down, give him a thrust! Trample the beggar into the dust! __ Presumptuous proverty’s quite appalling; Knock him over! kick him for falling! If a man is up, ob! lift him up higher! Your soul’s for sale, and he is buyer! Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! I know of a poor but worthy youth, | Whose hopes are built on amaiden’s truth; But the maiden will break her vows with ease, 3 For a wooer cometh whose claims are these: A hollow heart and an empty head, A face well tinged with the brandy red; A soul well trained in villany’s school, And-cash-sweet-cash he knowth the rule. Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! I know a bold and an honest man, Who tries to live on the Christian plan; But poor he is and poor he’ll be; A scorned and hated wretch is he. At home he meets the starving wife, Abroad he leadeth a leper’s life. They struggle before the fearful odds, Who will not bow to the people’s gods, Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes; An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! So get the wealth! no matter how: “No questions asked,” of the rich I trow! Steal by night, and steal by day, (Doing it all in a legal way); Join the Church and never forsake her, Learn to cant and insult your Maker; Be hypocrite, liar, knave and fool; But don’t be poor! Remember the rule: Dimes and dollars, dollars and dimes; An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! —————_>-<——_—— How to Select a Ham. Do not select too lean a joint. ‘The fat of a ham is often considered so much waste weight; so it may be in many families, but one would not buy a very lean piece of beef for roasting: it would surely be dry and tough when cooked. “Sounded the Warning.” From the Saranac Local. The city of Grand Rapids has a class of men who fondly imagine that the world was created for their especial benefit. This class, fearing that unless a celebration of some sort was advertised for the Fourth in that city, the rural towns might have a large turn out, got up asnide program and with the aid of the daily papers, drew in a large crowd. Of course these people were dis- gusted, but the object was attained—Grand Rapids got their spending money. THE TRADESMAN sounded the warning of the imposture and for it deserves due credit. ———_- 9 <> Grand Rapids Dairy Board of Trade. At the regular meeting of the Grand Rap- ids Dairy Board of Trade, held on Monday, the offerings consisted of fifty full cream cheese, June make, and twenty-five tubs creamery butter. The cheese was bid in at 7 cents and the butter sold for 1514 cents. J. C. B. Galer, of Ingersoll, Ont., and J. H. Murdaugh, of Croswell, write that they willattend the meetings of the Board when- ever there is sufficient quantity of cheese offered to make an export shipment. . — or +0 The Grocery Market.

Bananas are in good supply and fair to fine in quality. Candy is steady. Nuts are steady. ——-_—~-4 > Had to Take it Off. From the Philadelphia Herald. ‘‘Mamma,” she said, ‘‘I don’t like the way this bustle sets.” “Neither do I,” was the prompt reply. ‘“‘And, besides, your father is swearing about the rat trap being lost, so you must really take it off.” Sn Good Words Unsolicited. Geo. S. Hartom, general dealer, Assyria: “THE TRADESMAN is a fine paper.”’ B. T. Esler, general dealer, Grand Ledge: “I am pleased with it. I consider it the best paper of the kind I have ever seen.” ———_—>-9-< Peddlers who claim to be selling groceries at wholesale prices are working the rural districts in the interior of the State, to the intense disgust of local dealers. The coun- try papers in half a dozen localities have taken up the cudgels for the mer- chants, and caution farmers not to have anything to do with the peddlers, who, they assert, are ‘‘transient swindlers,” ‘‘sharp- ers,” ‘‘unprincipled,” ‘‘scoundrels,” and everything else that is bad.

Chase returned from the East Monday and will resume his preambu- lations among his customers next week. Wallace Franklin was in Alma last week and closed a contract to furnish pumping machinery for the new water works there. H. B. Hudson, formerly with Clark, Jew- el & Co., has engaged to represent P. Loril- lard & Co. in this territory, talking fine cut exclusively. ; A Knight of the Grip married the girl who dusted his room and furniture, because, he said, he uuderstood dusters were very use- ful to traveling men. C. B. Howard, formerly on the road for Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co., of Chi- cago, has engaged to travel for the Plumb & Lewis Manufacturing Co. A. A. Howard, of Coldwater, ‘was in town.

Here she erected a palace, and her fame for*luxurious living drew after her a train of the mer- chants of Tyre, who could not afford to lose so valuable a customer as Dido was. Many of them remained at the place in order that they might supply her with the Tyrian pur- ple, af ‘thus it was that Carthage was founded.

Besides these, honesty on the part of the manufacturer is also essen- tial, for it is comparatively an easy thing to introduce mere adulterating substances into the compound, and thereby cheapen the pro- duct at the expense of the quality—a process that is not only annoying but also expensive to the consumer. It isa common error among the many, who are not conversant with the subject, to suppose that rubber, in being made into the various shapes, is melted and run into a mould like iron or lead. Nothing of the sort oceurs. Before the discovery of vulcaniza- tion, solvents were experimented with, but since that event no solvents have been used; the intermixing is done by machinery, most- ly by huge rolls, after the manner of mixing dough for bread, and at no stage up to the time of vulcanizing is the rubber softer than stiff dough. It is pressed and moulded into various forms required. > 2. Company._&€} Office and Factory—11, 13, 15 and 17 Woodbridge street West. Dealers cordially invited to call on us when in town.

RODGERS, Attorney for Plaintiff. 150 Flour from Sweet Potatoes. From the Milling World. Wheat and other grains are likely to have more or less of a rival in the sweet potato. A patent has been issued for a process of treating sweet potatoes for making flour. The object of the invention is to produce a wholesome and nutritious article of diet from the sweet potato—one that will not be liable to become frozen or decayed, and which shall embody all the valuable proportions of the potato, especially the starch and sac- charine matter. The sweet potato is a lux- ury, and when in its natural state and out of season, is difficult to get, except at exor- FRESH MEATS.

Man is the only trading animal in exist- ence. Let yourself feel a want before you pr 0- vide against it. Brand the man who violates confidence and abuses trust as a thief. The true definition of merchant is, men who live by buying and selling. “A busy man,” says a Turkish proverb, ‘sis troubled with but one devil, an idle man with a thousand.” Business, in one sense, means employ- ment, or serious engagement, as distin- guished from trivial transactions. Whatever is expected by one side and known to be expected by the other, is to be deemed a part or condition of any contract. Did you ever know anybody to stick to any kind of business, no matter how un- promising, ten years at most who did not prosper? It is a general rule of law that whenever a person has power to do a thing he may consequently, as incident to his right, do it by attorney or agent. There is no success in common life with- out industry. To have the character for it is the passport to favor, and to practice it gives daily additional power and worth. Be cautious in sanctioning acts unauthor- ized by you, even if they are apparently in- significant or to your advantage, as permit- ting such acts confers an implied authority. upon the supposed agent. Those kinds of business are the safest which are concerned in the production, manufacture or sale of articles of commerce, and on which a large percentage of profit can be made, though the cost to the con- sumer is inconsiderable. Many young clerks seem to think that when they labor at the employment regu- larly assigned to them it is all that should be expected. It is probably all that is expected, but the faithful clerk will not neglect opportunities when by a little extra labor he can do his employer service. A good buyer is a man of few words. He posts himself as to the market, goes to the houses at which he usually deals, and makes his offer as near the market value as he can without comment on the prices of others. If accepted, the bargain is closed; if declined, he doesn’t want it, or will look further. —_——_—_——_ 4+ << Why is the Wayland cheese better than any other?

Not long ago a young Boston grocer went out into-a northern Massachusets city to es- tablish a grocery on a large and _ liberal scale, says the Record. He rented a big store, filled it up with electric lights, put an immense and glittering coffee mill in the front window, filled up his store with new goods, stacked up in ingeniously constructed pyramids and the like, and invited patron- age with double column advertisements in the daily papers.g The trade started in brisk- ly enough, but he soon discovered that his patrons were somewhat interested in the prices that he sold his goods at, as well as in the imposing surroundings of his busi- ness. There was a rival establishment very much like his own, with electric lights, big coffee mill, glittering pyramids of baking powder, boxes, etc., further down the street, and purchasers were continually comparing his prices with the rates in this rival store. One day a male customer, with an open, confiding face, came in and remarked: ‘“‘What do you sell the best Haxall flour for?” ‘*Five dollars and a half a barrel.” “But the other store down the street sells it for five dollars.” “Best Haxall, is it?” “Oh, yes.” ‘“‘Well,” said the new grocer, ‘‘they don’t sell this kind of flour for five dollars. Did you notice how many X’s there were on the barrels down at the other store?” ‘There were three, sir.” “Well, I'll sell you this flour for $5 and it has four X’s on the band! Do you see? They can’t begin to do that for you!” The open faced nan went out and traveled right over to the other store. ‘“*The man in the new store,” said he ‘‘of- fers to sell me the best Haxall flour, with four X’s on the barrel, for $5, and your flour hasn’t got but three X’s.” The grocer scratched his head. “Did you notiee the size of the X’s on his barrels?” he finally asked. “Yes,” said the customer. about three inches long. ‘‘Ah, that makes the difference, don’t you see. The X’s on my barrels are six inches long. Just look at them?” The customer was convinced, and ordered a barrel delivered at once. The grocer from Boston is beginning to get an idea of the sort of competition he has to fight, and thinks that when he gets the population well learned he will manage to make a living. nn He Will Not Have Hay Fever This Year.
