Twenty years ago this spring, when I man, I met a clerk in a country store whose made my first trip on the road as a sales- honest face and pleasant manners made me his friend at once. He had not been in the country long enough to speak English flu- ently, and as his customers were largely Germans it did not matter. It was easy to see that hé would learn English as fast as it was needed, and that he was made of stuff which was bound to advance him in life. In a few years he was introduced to me as the partner of his former employer, and it was a delight to watch his energetic way of doing business and to see his pleasant manner with his customers. He put on no airs cf any kind. His attention was whol- ly given to his business, and to this he gave all his days and a large share of his nights. Other young men in the town spoke to me of John’s luck. They called him lucky in getting to work for such an easy employ- er; lucky in getting an interest in so good a business, and lucky in all that he did. There is a strong inclination in the mind of the average man to make little of the abili- ties of a companion. It soothes his own pride to believe that the companion’s ad- vance was simply a piece of luck or chance rather than the result of merit or energy. And as no one can control “luck” his own failure, consequently, does not annoy him. If you sit down and recall merchants whose progress you know, you always dis- cover that the song of their success, no mat- ter what words it is told in, is always in the one tune. They are hard workers; they are saving; they are careful in giving credit, and they watch their accounts close- ly. John Konig had all these traits, but hard work only seemed to send more red blood into his cheeks, and responsibility never appeared to weigh on his spirits. In a few years more he and a brother bought out the partner, securing a good bar- gain on long time, and the other dealers shook their heads at the load John had shouldered, and prophesied failure. But John’s ‘‘luck” still stood his friend. He made payments easily, increased his trade, grew in influence, and at 35 would have been out of debt, but that he bought a stave factory, putting another brother into that as manager. This wasa goodinvestment. Timber was plenty, staves were in good demand at profitable prices, and the store and stave factory were made to help each other. Be- fore this was wholly paid for he had anoth- er factory in operation, and before very long thereafter he and his brothers were owners of two stores and four stave factories. His ‘‘luck” was now on everyone’s tongue. He had been lucky in owning a store in good years; lucky in starting factories just when and where he did; lucky in having good brothers to take hold with him, and lucky to find everyone willing to give him credit and time. He laughed in his jovial way over his own ‘“‘luck,” evidently think- ing of his career much as his neighbors thought of it; but when dull times came and he made a good sale of his principal store, people said, with one accord, that “John was the luckiest fellow that ever lived,” and I %aw that he was of their way of thinking. But the stave business began to grow dull. As timber grew scarce it cost more. Competition in making staves ran down the price of the manufactured article, while competition in purchasing ran np the price of the raw material. People were not fig- uring how much money they were making but ‘whether they were holding their own or not. Men who had plodded along at a moderate pace were thankful if they came out even, but they who had been watching their riches grow rapidly each year were alert to find new ventures to restore their former profits. The town of Colton had once had a grist mill. -'The mill had been the cause of its first owner’s death from worry and over- work, and had ruined the last owner, when fortunately it burned down. When on the face of the earth and in operation no one had given it credit for being of much help tothe town, but when it was in ashes, every dull day, every unfortunate transac- tion was laid at the door of the grist mill disaster. It was said that farmers no longer came to town, because there was no market for their grain. The retail trade was falling off; the town was going to ruin; the constant refrain of all their lamenta- tions was the grist mill, which they had de- spised when in existence. A public-spirited citizen, such as John Konig was, could not see and hear all this unmoved. He was now free from all mer- cantile business, except whatever buying and selling staves involved, and from all he saw of the condition of the merchants in his town he was rejoiced at it. But his stave factories were rapidly growing less ‘Juck” for him and his brothers. This profitable each year, and he began to won- der if the burning of the old grist mill at this time might not be a special piece of view of the case also struck others. They wanted a mill, but they wanted it built at lieved that anything John undertook was bound to be a success. They reasoned with him that there was no end to the business that a mill might do. Not only all this broad land of ours, but all the world wanted flour. Everybody knew that five bushels of wheat made a barrel of flour, and that the refuse and screenings would pay well for the grinding. At least everyone in Colton knew this, and they showed John that there was immense rich- es in the business. The best flour was sell- ing in Columbus at $8 per barrel. Here was a clear profit, as Colton figured it, of $2.50 upon every barrel of flour the mill could make. It would be a very moderate sized mill if it did not have a capacity of fif- ty barrels per day, so there was a clean profit to the miller of $125 per day,or $40,- 000 per year! Sorely it was a chance that offered itself only once in a lifetime, and, of course, it was here now for ‘‘Lucky John.” John had always prided himself upon be- ing thorough. Ifis stave factories contain- ed the latest and best machinery. His horses always wore the best make of harnesses. His wagons were the strongest and lightest that could be made. So, when he determined to build the mill, it was a foregone conclusion that it should be the best and most complete in all its details that could be built. When it was in operation all Colton was proud of it. Colton flour was carrying to Philadelphia, New York and New England the name of the town and spreading its fame abroad. John was in appearance the honest, smiling, dusty miller that is the type of the craft, and his luck was still with him. * * * * * A few weeks ago the mercantile agency notified me that Konig & Bros. had failed. Lattended the meeting of creditors, but I observed that his townsmen,if they happen- ed to be his creditors, were very bitter against him, and cursed him now much as a short while since they had lauded him. He stood up before us all and told his story. I have never been so sorry for a man since I began business. No one doubted that he was telling the exact truth. He said: ‘‘I think I went into this thing as earefully and as cautiously as a man could haye done. When we were ready to build we had ¢24,000 in the bank to our credit. We expected the mill would stand us $20,000. I heard of a very complete mill in Wayne that was about the size and capacity of the one we thought of putting up. I went there, accompanied by a mill- wright, who came to me well recommended. He offered to duplicate that mill for $18,000, and we told him to go ahead. The mill stood before us, before we had made one cent’s worth of flour, $58,000. Toraise this we had to borrow at 8 per cent. interest. When we began work I found there was no such a profit in flour as I had been led to be- lieve. We were always pressed for money and I have sold many a carload, not at $2.50 profit we figured on per barrel, butata posi- tive loss. I have kept going as long as I could, but the end has come. Every dollar we had is gone, and everything we own is covered by mortgages to raise money for this mill.” ‘What do the assets show?” some one asked. ‘‘A bout eleven cents on a dollar.” “This shows mighty poor calculation, or something worse. Why didn’t you stop be- fore you got down to such a point as this?” We kept hoping for achange for the bet- ter.” “Yes,” spoke up a rasping voice that I recognized as belonging to a little grocer in Colton, who had formerly been the loudest in singing the praises of ‘‘Lucky John,” ‘he had the ‘big head,’ and couldn’t see how anything of his could fail; he thought he had a sure thiug on his luck, but she’s gone back on him, gentlemen, and ’m $50 out.” “Yes,” said John bitterly, “I had plenty of luck so long as I stuck to the business that I knew, but it left me when I started in this.” He has not yet settled with his creditors. <—--<—_____—_ Genuine ‘“‘Belfast” Ale. From an English Exchange. Commend me to an American paper for a bit of sly humor. Here is a specimen which Ihave just read: ‘‘This country imported 18,720,000 bottles of Belfast ginger ale last year, and consumed 33,409,650. The best thing about it is that nobody ever got hold of a bottle which wasn’t ‘imported,’ nor one which didn’t bear the Belfast brand.” Now, after this, what has America to show for herself in relation to the piracy of the Bel- fast labels in which it openly indulges. Bragging with Reason. Many years ago when grocers in Lynn, Mass., were licensed to sell liquor, one of them, who had the reputation of giving rath- er small weight and measure, was bragging to a customer of his skill in doing up pack- ages. ‘I can wrap up a pound of sugar,” he remarked, ‘‘in a smaller piece of paper than any other man in town.” “I don’t ubt it,” said the customer, ‘‘and you can put a pint of rum in a smaller bottle than Fire Escapes. After each large fire wherein the inmates of buildings, being cut off from egress, meet with fatal results, there is a general ery for a more rigid enforcement of the law compelling owners of large blocks and ho- tels and workshops to erect suitable fire es- capes. Now, the question arises, What constitutes a suitable fire escape? In the first place, I would like to argue pro and con, re- garding the fire escape that is generally used now—a common iron ladder bolted either to the front or side of a building, as an exam- ple we will say a hotel. Now, in case of a fire, this is all that is desired to save a man’s life under certain conditions; that is, provided a man isa sailor, used to climbing, and also that he sleeps in the same room that the ladder reaches. But with circum- stances other than these, a ladder is a mere mockery, for the following reasons: It is never to be supposed that one woman or child in a hundred would have presence of mind enough to first find and then descend a ladder. Again, the persons whose rooms the ladder reaches, upon retiring lock and bolt their doors, and very likely in case of fire will quickly descend the ladder, leaving those whose rooms are not so favorably sit- uated to escape as best they can. I have never yet learned where a stationary ladder was the means of saving human life. The Milwaukee hotel fire, a few years ago, gives us a good example of the ineffi- ciency of the stationary ladders upon that building Nearly all the inmates were so ex- cited that they could not act for themselves, but even those who would do so were driv- en back by the dense smoke, and in order to keep from suffocating were obliged to stay at the windows, and as a result were slowly burned to death. At a recent fire chiefs’ convention, the opinion was given that a fire escape that depended upon the inmates of buildings for action was practically use- less. What is needed is an escape that is mani- pulated by persons on the ground—one that ean be raised, lowered, and moved to any window in the building, and rescue three or four men, women, or children at one time. There are patent fire escapes innumerable, some embracing that are without doubt very ingenious, but they all contain this one great fault, they are not handled by persons onthe ground. Again, arehi- tects and builders should take into consid- eration the fact that fire escapes, as they are now made, are not an enhancement to the good appearance of buildings. —_— —-O— ideas About Cigars. Cigar Dealer in Chicago Herald. Four men out of five smoke, and about three out of four smoke cigars of one kind or another. But not one man in twenty knows anything about cigars. The nineteen couldn’t tell a good cigar from a poor one. Even the people who pay pretty good prices for their cigars do so because they are proud. They judge cigars by their cost. Not many smokers know that a cigar worth fifteen cents one day may not be worth a nickel the next day. Taking care of cigars is an art. It is impossible to buy a good cigar in a drug store or other shop where goods are displayed in a show case, with the lids of the boxes open. Good cigars spoil quickly if exposed to dry air. They should always be kept in close, slightly moist zine boxes. A man will buy a box of cigars and pay 36, $8, $10or, perhaps, $12 a hundred for them. He takes his box home, puts it upon a shelf in his bed-room, or in a hot, dry closet, which is next to a chimney. As like as not he leaves the lid of the box off or imperfect- ly closed. Next morning his box of cigars is worth about $3. The flavor is gone. They are dry and burn hot and fast. If the man’s pride in his own judgment as a buyer of cigars, and that confidence in and ad- miration for his own, which every man feels do not destroy his taste, he comes back and makes a big kick, and swears that we have palmed off on him an article much inferior to the one he has been smoking, and which he liked so well. There’s another thing which smokers of good imported cigars would do well to remember. -o-<>———___—_—— Purely Personal. A. J. Brown has been spending a week at Bay View. He is expected home to-day.

From the Druggists’ Circular. A confidential circular has recently been sent to wholesale druggists, soliciting orders for a new adulterant for castor oil. We do not know to what extent jobbers received such propositions, but this is certainly one of the boldest and plainest swindles of its kind we have ever heard of. Asa matter of interest we reproduce the cireular in full, omitting only the name and address: To Wholesale Druggists Only: “CG C Castor Oil” is offered to the whole- sale drug trade only. “C C Castor Oil” is sold to the wholesale drug trade only. “C © Castor Oil” is sold on its merits, and we guarantee it to be and do all that we claim. “CC Castor Oil” is sold at 62 cents per gallon—60 days or 6 per cent. discount for cash, f 0 b cars in Cleveland or Cicago. “C C Castor” is an adulterant for pure castor oil and our claims for it are based on the experience which two years’ sales have brought us. © “C C Castor Oil’ has enabled us to make more money on castor oil within the past year than we have made before on all the castor oil we have sold in years,” is what one of the leading wholesale druggists of America said to one of our representatives this spring. , “CC Castor Oil,” will mix readily with pure castor oil; either best or No 2 or 3, at any temperature—will not separate as it has the same specific gravity—18 B. When mix- ed in equal portions with pure castor oil it cannot be detected, without long and ingen- ious tests, which are seldom applied. If taken internally, is perfectly harmless, acting in unison with the castor oil, except- ing to exert a mild sedative influence, which some of the best medical talent in the coun- try have assured us, is highly beneficial ina majority of cases, where castor oil is pre- scribed. If mixed with castor oil intended for lub- ricating purposes, the mixture will be found to be equally as good a lubricant as the pure castor would be. By using ‘“‘C C Castor Oil” you will be enabled to make a fair profit, without detriment to yourself on goods which are already sold on a narrow margin. From the teritory over which our sales are distributed, we know that no wholesale druggist in the United States can sell pure castor oil without competing with goods containing some of our “Cc C Castor We invite your‘attention to these facts, and respectfully solicit your order for a sample barrel, or what you may need for your stock. A sample of this adulterant shows it to be a liquid of about the same color and consis- tence as a mediym quality of castor oil. It has a heavy greasy odor, and a peculiar taste that lasts some time. It does not dissolve in or mix clear with alcohol, and a mixture of it with castor oil is easily shown in this way. This adulterant is probably nothing more than a heavy, light colored, neutral mineral oil, worth about twenty cents per gallon. It is hardly probable that much of this kind of castor oil is sold to pharmacists, as it would more likely go to the grocery trade or country stores, who usually buy castor oil in small bottles, yet it is well to look out for it. In localities where there is a strong gro- cery or other competition, it might be inter- esting to see how the castor oil is labelled, and to test it as above. It would be inter- esting to know who the ‘‘leading wholesale druggist” referred to was. He certainly ought to be nearer the tail end that the lead, and the National Wholesale Druggist’s Asso- ciation, every member of which has probab- ly received this circular, should certainly take some action in the matter. That ‘some of the best medical talent in the country” could be induced to say of this aduiteraut that its’‘‘mild sedative influence,, is ‘highly beneficial in a majority of cases,” if very remarkable, and it would also be in- teresting to know who they are. The statement that every wholesale drug- gist has to compete with ‘‘goods” containing this adulterant, if true, would show that job- bers in all parts of the country were willing to increase their profits by means that ought to bring the severest condemnation and pun- ishment. . Unfortunately many States have little or no legislation for the prevention of adulter- ation, and in others such laws are not enforc- ed as vigorously as they should be. The active denunciation and prosecution of such offenders will do much to strength- en pharmacists in the estimation of the medical profession and the public. We know of no more commendable or impor- tant undertaking for pharmaceutical associ- ations and druggists all over the country. Let no guilty jobber escape. > > VISITING BUYERS.

Spanish pharmaceutical papers complain bitterly of hard times among the trade. Shop after shop is being closed, and in some houses the receipts have fallen to one-fourth of what they were a short time ago.

Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: DEAR Str—The regular semi-monthly meeting of the M. D. C. A. was held at the Arlington on the 14th., all the members be- ing present excepting one. President Heath called the meeting to order, and appointed I. C. Terry critic for the evening. After the reading of a few communications, the papers on ‘Inorganic Acids” and ‘‘Alka- loids” were then called for, but neither were finished and both were turned over to the next meeting. The members then settled down to discussions and social conversa- tion, after which the critic’s report was heard, and the meeting adjourned. The second June meeting, which fell on the 23d, was not held, owing to a lack of attendance sufficient to constitute a quorum. As there would be a three weeks’ intermis- sion before the next meeting, a special meet- ing was called on the 30th to discuss im- portant matters relative to the Association. The next meeting falls on the 28th. Yours truly, L. B. GLOVER, Secy. ———_<-o Mr. Dott has taken out a patent in Eng- land for the artificial production of codeine from morphine.

A Western Michigan wool buyer who was circulating among farmers to engage their clips, met with one who was inclined to look upon the matter as a sort of gambling affair. “You agree to buy my wool for so much, a month in advance of shearing,” said he. ‘‘How do you know that wool won’t go up or down? The price may be too much or not enough. It looks like flying in the face of Providence. After a long argument he agreed to leave it to his wife, and she re- plied: ‘ ‘Look a-here, Samuel, I’m just as good a Baptist as you are, and if there is anything in our religion which says we shan’t take 28 cents a pound for our wool when we didn’t exfect above 25, we'll accept the offer on the wool and flop over to the Metho- dists.” —_———> a An ingenious French cook- has discovered that by leaving an egg in water at 185 de- grees Fahr. several hours, the yolk becomes hard boiled, while the white remains unal- tered.

I A plank 20 feet long and 9 feet wide, without knot or blemish of any kind, is one of the contributions of British Columbia to JENNINGS VINDICATED. He Maintains the Reputation of His Ex- tracts at Any Hazard. From THE TRADESMAN, June 30. The reputation of Jennings’ extracts for purity and strength has become a matter of common acknowledgment. They have stood the test of time and have come to be regarded by the trade and consumer as ab- solutely the best goods on the market. In view of these facts, Messrs. Jennings & Smith were somewhat surprised about two weeks ago to receive the following letter from a dealer who had handled their ex- tracts many years: LAWTON, June 11, 1886. Mess. Jennings & Smith, Grand Kapics: GENTLEMEN—I sold six bottles of your best vanilla, to be put into ice cream, Wednesday, and it made twenty of our citi- zens very sick, so sick that some came near dying. What do you suppose was the mat- ter with it? The family who made the cream are not able to stand the loss (twelve gallons) and expect you will make it right with them and pay the costs of having it analyzed. I ate some of the cream and it made me very sick. I hope and expect you will have the vanilla analyzed, so that if it is pure I will not lose my trade on your ex- tracts, which I have handled for so many years now. Hoping to hear from you by return mail, I remain, Very Respectfully Yours, B. J. DESENBERG. P. S.—I hope you will vindicate your- selves and me, as it will do us both great damage if it is not proven to be pure vanilla which was used. I think the vanilla is all right and the fault lies somewhere else. I expect you will have it analyzed by Prof. Kedzie of the Agricultural College, Br at Ann Arbor, so that the people will see that it is impartial. ; Confident of the purity of his goods, satis- fied that the poisoning was due to causes other than his extracts, and determined that no one should say aught against their puri- ty, Mr. Jennings immediately repaired to Lawton, where he arranged with the per- sons who made the ice cream to send a quantity of the cream and also some of the vanilla to Prof. Vaughan, Professor of Chemistry at the State University, for analysis, Prof. Vaughan, whose reputa- tion is world-wide and whose opinions can by no possible means be impeached, reports the result of the analysis as follows: The poison in the ice cream is due to the decomposition in the milk. The poison I obtained from one-half pint of cream pro- duced in a cat the same symptoms which the persons suffered from. The people at Lawton thought that the poison was in the vanilla extract used and sent some of that, which I have analyzed and used my self without find- ing the least trace of poison. The poison is liable to be developed in any milk which is kept in unclean vessels or impure atmos- phere. I found no mineral poison in it, no arsenic, etc., but succeeded in getting the same poison as I did from the cheese last year. Such expert testimony as to the purity of Jennings’ extracts will forever put an end to all fear to their wholesomeness and bring them, «friends among people who are not sure we ‘ods they are now using are equally meritorious. LATER—STRONG TESTIMONY. In his official report to the State Board of Health, Prof. Vaughan thus describes how he tested the purity of Jenning’s extract of vanilla, which is the highest praise the arti- cle could possibly receive: June 13, 1886, I received from Dr. Henry B. Baker, Secretary of the Michigan State Board of Health, a pint bottle about two- thirds full of melted ice cream, with the re- quest that I analyze it, as some 18 persons had been seriously affected by eating of it. Dr. Baker also sent some of the vanilla which had been used as flavoring. It was thought that the poison would be found in the vanilla, because some lemon ice cream furnished at the same gathering had not affected those who ate of it. As the read- iest means of deciding this, my assistant, Mr. Novie, and myself took at first 30 drops each of the vanilla extract. No ill effects following this, Mr. Novie took two tea- spoonsful more, with no results. This set- tled the question of the poisonous nature of the vanilla more satisfactorily than could have been done by a chemical analysis. —___-—~>-2-<—- The “Tradesman”’ Cigar. Fox & Bradford have put on the market a new brand of cigars yclept ‘‘Tradesman.” Here’s to hoping that the cigar may be as successful as its illustrious namesake and give as universal satisfaction. 2 +> __ Henry Royce writes Tue TRADESMAN as follows from Decatur: ‘‘I have been trying hard to find something in the way of news worth writing you, but news seems ‘scarce, there being no business changes or anything of the kind. The farmers are nearly through with harvesting and the yield is generally good, some getting as high as forty bushels to the acre. The elevators are paying as high as 73 cents per bushel for new and 75 cents for old wheat. Hogs are bringing $4.50 to $5 per 100, live weight, and several car loads are shipped daily. The merchants report a fair volume of trade for the season. The weather has been very dry for five or six weeks and the corn will suf- rer if the drought continues. The village has here on trial a new hand engine and hose cart, manufactured at Seneca Falls, N. Y. The apparatus seems to ‘give good satisfac- tion and will probably be bought. A banker, respectable as rich, giving counsel concerning men and things to a young man just about entering business, said: ‘For me, young man, men are classi- fied in two categories, knaves and fools, and no more.” ‘*But—yourself, then?” ‘‘I? I have a foot in each catégory.” Measures are being taken by the German Government to regulate the employment of lead in the manufacture of domestic cook- ing utensils. This action is taken because of several recent deaths from lead poisoning received from such a source.

The loss by bad book ac- counts is a continuous drain upon the re- sources of aretail grocer. It is the rock upon which thousands have struck and gone to pieces. There are people in every com- munity who live upon the industry of oth- ers. There are people who move from sec- tion to section, from old haunts where their characters are well known, to new localities where better facilities are afforded them for their predatory work. Against these the re- tail grocer should always be on his guard. Credit should not be given to strangers. It should not be given to the parties who are unwilling or unable to furnish good and sat- isfactory references. A new comer should always be regarded by store-keepers with more or less suspicion; he may be all right, but he frequently victimizes the gro- cer or butcher before they discover his real character. A storekeeper who hag any enter- prise about him can soon familiarize himself with the circumstances and dispositions of most of the people in his town, unless it be a large city, where it is always risky to doa retail business upon anything but a cash basis. Knowing the habits and characters of his customers he can soon intelligently determine who are worthy of creditand who are not. It is always wise to beware of men who have no visible means of support, no matter how few, may be the manner in which they keep up appearances; of those who are in- dolent and intemperate; of those who are given to reckless speculations; of those who have rich relatives from whom they shortly expect a remittance. It is necessary to give credit to many, but a little amount of care- ful discrimination in the matter will save the storekeeper from continuous loss, and perhaps keep him out of the hands of the sheriff. The margin of profit is so small, particularly on groceries, that a few bad ac- counts wlll absorb the entire profits of the store. Look out for poor-paying customers or, in other words, beware of dead-beats. The grocery trade is a business that de- mands the closest attention to details. Then there is waste, spoilage, leakage, breakage in goods, but the worst of all drains upon the groceryman’s resources is the loss he sustains by bad accounts. Many persons seem to think that the world owes them a living, and, first of all, they seem to regard the retail grocer as their legitimate prey, , and he needs to be continually upon his guard in order to escape the confidence games, that are being continually attempted upon him. ——<-2-
