MANDARINS AND TANGIERINES.

 

A Peculiar Fruit Which First Grew on the
Other Side of the World.

From the New York Sun. |
Very red little oranges, tomato-shaped, |
with shiny skin, and done up in colored tis-
sue paper, can be found this winter in every
fruit store and on many stands. They are
mandarin and Tangierine oranges, from
Florida. The two varieties are so nearly
alike in looks and taste that persons unac-
customed to them cannot always tell which
is which. The mandarins came originally
from China and the Tangierines from the
country whose name they bear. In Florida
they are called ‘‘kid-glove oranges,” because,
it is said, ladies can peel and eat them with-
out soiling their gloves. Between the skin |
and the pulp is a loose layer of fibers, which
is easily separated from the pulp. The skin
has only to be broken, when it can be taken
off dry and in one piece. In taste they are
very different from other oranges of good
quality. Instead of the spicy flavor that is
distinguishable in ripe and fresh Indian
river oranges, there is in the mandarins and)
Tangierines a taste suggesting that of new.
wine. The pulp is very tender, and there is |
but little juice within the delicate lining. |

 

A dealer in Sixth avenue, whose store is:
handsomely decorated with green palm |
leaves and clusters of yellow wild oranges |
on the branches on which they grew, and |
who also has a fruit store in Jacksonville,
said:

“Mandarins and Tangierines have been |
for sale in the large fruit stores of this city |
for a few years past, but they have never |
before been sent here in such numbers as
this season. Hitherto they have been used
mainly te give variety to baskets of fruit
rather expensively fixed up. They are very
different in appearance than other varieties
of oranges, and their color makes a_ pretty
contrast with the smooth, bright yellow of
the Indian river fruit, the brown of the rus-
sets, and the deep yellow of the more eom-
mon kinds. It is only a few years since the
few produced in Florida found a ready sale
there at $14 a hundred—a pretty steep figure
for oranges that cannot be compared in size
or quality with Indian Rivers, which have to
be very fine to bring half that price. They
were brought to this market then to be sold
as curiosities or to set off a basket of fruit.
Within a couple of years a demand for thei
for table use has sprung up, and we have
many customers who regularly buy mandar-
ins or Tangierines, the same as they would
call for any other favorite variety, so long
as they are in the market. These varieties
are coming to this market in sufficient quan-
tities this season for us to be able to sell
them for from 50 to 75 cents a dozen. They
seem expensive at $10 and upwards a box,
but there are a good many of them in a box.

The highest priced oranges in this market
are. Indian Rivers. They are of good size,
bright, thin-skinned, heavy, and so tender
that the pulp may be eaten with a spoon
after cutting a hole in the skin. They sell
for a dollar 2 dozen, and the supply falls
short of the demand. They are more deli-
cate and more liable to damage in transport-
ation than any other variety, and transport-
ation from the Indian river country to Jack-
sonville is slow. It will be faster when the
Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Halifax River
Railroad is finished, aud instead of hauling
the oranges across the country and sending
them by steamboat 200 miles on the St.
Johns, they will be sent direct to Jackson-
ville by rail.

“Almost without exception the oranges
raised in Florida are fine fruit, if they are
allowed to hang on the trees until they are
ripe. The trouble is that some small pro-
ducers are in such a hurry to get their money
that they market their oranges in November,
without much regard to whether they are
ripe or not. Oranges keep best on the trees
after they are ripe, and they even go on im-
proving in flavor until March, if the frost
will let them alone. In February the trees
blossom, and it isin groves where the
ripe oranges have been kept hanging. that
the sight of golden fruit and cream-white
blossoms on the same branches is seen.

“But the reputation of Florida oranges
with consumers in the market is damaged
more by Another cause than by too early
picking. Weeks before there are any good
Florida oranges in New York, jobbers sort
over their Jamaica oranges, pick out those
that look like Florida fruit, ane sell them as
coming from Florida groves. Some of the
Jamaicas so closely resemble Floridas that
none but experts in handling oranges could
recognize them by their looks. But the Ja-
maica fruit is apt to be pithy, light in weight,
and without juice or flavor. Some persons
declare that they will uot buy Florida
oranges, the Mediterranean fruit is so much
better; but they have probably never eaten
a Florida orange. They have bought
Jamaicas at corner groceries, and thought
they were getting the best that Florida pro-
duces.

“Yes, there is a considerable demand for
grape fruit,” the dealer said in answer to a
question. ‘These larger ones we sell at two
for a quarter, and those of medium size bring
10 cents apiece. The taste for grape fruit is

 

game.

 

gether with the perceptible spicy flavor, be-

comes more agreeable upon a second trial,
and I know many persons who prefer grape
fruit to the finest Indian River orange. The

| peel is taken off with a sharp knife, cutting |,

around and around, as in pelling an apple.
Then the thin skin that encompasses the sec-
tions of the fruit is separated from the pulp,
and the seeds are taken out. The sections of
tender pulp taken from the ice-box on a cool
plate and set before a lover of the fruit are
very tempting morsels, especially on a warm-
ish muggy morning in the spring. In Florida
a little of the bitter pith under the skin is
eaten in the belief that it keeps off fever and
chills.”

The Purity of His Business Methods.

“New crop maple sugar!’ exclaimed the
dapper little man derisively. ‘“That’s too
thin! Seven parts brown sugar and three
parts canned maple syrup, boiled together.
That’s your new crop maple sugar.”

“S-a-a-y, young feller,” said the man with
the red muffler, ‘‘w’at yer givin’ us? Now if

‘“A-w-w-w, come off!’ replied the dapper
little man. “I’m up to that little new-crop
I didn’t clerk three years in a gro-
cery store for nothing.”

“And with a knowing laugh the dapver
little man bustled along his way.

“While I do not countenance betting,”
said the benevolent faced old gentleman, “‘I
am glad to see you so willing to put the
purity of your business methods to the test.
I think you may do me up five of those five
cent cakes.”

As the man with the red muffler counted
out the cakes and put them in a paper bag,
the old gentleman blandly asked:

“Would you have shown the gentleman
that your sugar was from the sap of Vermont
woods or from tué Delaware County pro-
duct?”

“T wouldn’t a sprung neider o’ dem gags

How a Drummer Won a Bet.

“Bet you five dollars 1 make every pis-
senger in this coach stick his head out of
the window:before we get to Cadillac,” said
a lively drummer to a companion the other
day, ona G. R. & L. train. “Oh, you’re jok-
ing.”’ “No, I mean business, an’ Ill lay you
the five and leave it to yourself. Is it a go?
All right.” Soon the train stopped at a way
station, and the lively drummer said to his
companion, ‘“Nowcome with me.” And
outside I heard him say, ‘‘Now run around
the coach and see if you don’t see every
man’s head popping out of the ,window.”
Then there came from beneath the car un-
earthly sounds,—shouting, crying, wailing
cries of “help” and “take him off” and
“murder.” Instantly every passenger opened
his window and peered out. There wasn’ta
head left in the car. Ina few seconds the
noise ceased and the festive drummer came
out from under the coach with a ten-penny
smile on his broad face. ‘Well, you’ve won
your bet, I guess, said the discomforted and
breathless one who had been running around
trying to find a passenger who didn’t stick
his head out of the window. ‘As near as 1
can find out you’ve won, but why didn’t you
let me stay in the car, where I could have
seen better?” ‘Just because I was afraid
you would be smart enough to keep your
snoot inside,” replied the late howler. ‘Got
caught on that last week down at Spring-
field.” ‘Well, that’s a pretty cute game,”
said adbystander. ‘Yes,’ replied the drum-
mer; ‘“‘it’s a nice racket, and isw’t paying me
less than $15 a week right along.”

oe ” said a leading boot and shoe job-
ber, “is a women’s calf polish shoe. A few
years ago it was the best selling and most
staple line we had in stock. We used to sell
them in five to ten and even fifteen case lots.
Now we think a dozen pairs is a-good sale,
and it hardly pays to give them store room.
Goat, kid and pebble grain have entirely
superceded the calf. Of course they don’t
wear as wellas the calf, but the women
don’t buy shoes for the wearing qualities.
We still have a few calls for calf shoes from
the backwoods settlements, but the women,
as arule, want fine goods, even for the
roughest wear. If it is wet they wear rub-
bers. We have to watch all these changes,
or we will get badly left.”

BURRESS LAW.

Brief Digests of Rec eut “Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.
Assignment of Decree.

The assignment of a decree for the pay-
ment of money to one secondarily liable for
its payment, for his idemnity, is no dis-
charge, says the Supreme Court of Illinois,
Allen vs. Powell et al., but leaves the decree
still owing, and the assignment carries with
it the right?to collect or enforce the same as
the assignor may have had.

 

Surety.

A surety who has satisfied the debt of the
principal and obtained an assignment from
the creditors, is entitled to all the rights of
the creditor. In this case, the debt having

been created prior to the execution of a vol-|—

untary conveyance from the debtor, the
court held that the claim of the surety was,
as to that conveyance, a pre-existing debt,
although he did not become a surety until
after the execution of the conveyance.—
Dempsey vs. Rankin’s Administrator, Ken-
tueky Court of appeals.

 

Conveyance to Wife.

The Supreme Court of Illinois, in the case
of Durand vs. Weightman, hold that a_vol-
untary settlement of property by a husband
upon his wife can be assailed only by his ex-
isting credilors. This was a case where a
husband conveyed land to his wife as a vol-
untary settlement for her future maintain-
ance, retaining at the same time personal
property amply sufficient to discharge all his
liabilities in good faith, without any inten-
tion thereby to defraud any existing or sub-
sequent creditors. The court held that,
under the circumstances, the conveyance
was good as against subsequent creditors ac-
quiring their claims some three years after-
ward.

 

Proofs of Loss.

When the requirements of a policy of fire
insurance in regard to the proofs of loss to
be furnished are substautially complied with,
they will not be held insufficient for
formal defects in the manner in which they
are made. The omission of the insured to
sign the proofs of loss is not fatal, when
they have been followed up by his writing
to the insurers several times in regard to the
claim, but they made no suggestion to him
of any defect in the proofs, or request to
cure any formal defects. Where the notary
before whom the proofs were taken signs
the jural, his seal attached to a certificate
immediately following, will be held to apply
to the jurat also.—Universal Fire Ins. Co.
vs. Morrin, Penn. Supreme Court.

 

Contract in Partial Restraint of Trade.

A contract in general restraint of trade is
void, but if in partial restraint of trade only,
it may be supported, provided the restraint
is reasonable and the contract founded on a
consideration. This distinction between
such stipulations as are in general restraint
of trade, and such as are in restraint of it
only as to particular persons and places, or
for a limited time has long been recognized
both in Europe and America; the latter, if
founded on a good and valuble considera-
tion, are valid; the former are unvariably pro-
hibited. The reason assigned for this differ-
ance is, that all general restraints tend to
promote monopolies and tend to discourage
industries, enterprise and fair competition,
which reason does not apply to partial re-
straints. Such a stipulation is not in general
restraint of trade, but in partial restraint
only, and is reasonable.—Supreme Court of
Georgia.

 

Fraudulent Assigniment.

In 1879 F. & Co. made an assignment for
the benefit of creditors. A firm of Boston
merchants to whom the firm owed a large
sum, brought an action to set aside the as-
signment on the ground of fraud for the
reason that on the day preceding the assign-
ment, the assigning firm withdrew from the
bank in which they held their aecount the
cum of $573.12 and on the day the assign-
ment was made the sum of $125, which they
did not include in their schedule or turn
over to the assignee, and concerning the dis-
position of which they refused to make any
explanation. The complaint was dismissed
and judgment ordered for the defendants
by the judge before whom the case was
tried, but his decision has been reversed by
the General Term of the Supreme Court,
which says: “It is well settled that any res-
ervation of the least pecuniary character by
the assignor or his family and any device to
cover up the property for the benefit of the
assignor or to seeure to him directly or indi-
rectly any benefit is frandulent, and has al-
ways received the condemnation of the
courts. The debtor who makes an assign-
ment of this character must devote all his
property to the payment of his debts, except
such as is by law exempt from execution.
The withholding of any considerable sum of
money at the time of making an assignment
from the assignee must, we think, in some
form be explained, otherwise itis sufficient
to establish a fraudulent intent, as the evi-
dence strongly tends to show that this money
was drawn out and kept by one of the as-
signors. In the absence of any reasonable
explanation of that incident, the learned
court, we think, should have found that the
the same was a

voided the as

How the Relatives Came In as Preferred Cred-
itors.

A merchant, save the mark, in a certain
line of goods not necessary to be specified,
and in a city well-known to travelers, called
his book-keeper into his office, and the fol-
lowing conversation ensued:

“Jacob, I tink ve owe aboud as much as
ve can very vell get trusted vor; trade is not
goote, collections vas slow, und I cand meed

“Ve can make dot amound about $10,000

“No, Jacob! not $10,000 even, Jacob;

“How much musd I owes mine prudder

“Vell, say $7,000, Mr. Bear.’’

“Jacob, I told you dot vont do; it musd be

“Yaw, Mr. Bear; gif her $2,1¢0, und call

“Dot vill do, Jacob; I musd also do vot is

The Grocer Who Caved.

From the Detroit Free Press.

ho von

Bear;

There was, up to a year or two ago, a man
in the grocery business in one of the vil-
lages of Western Michigan who was famous
for his hatred for drummers. ‘Travelers for
Chicago, Detroit and other houses were or-
dered out of his store in the roughest
manner, and several were assisted to leave
in a style more hurried than graceful. The
boys, however, rather enjoyed it, and a sort
of ring was formed among them with a sol-
emn agreement to keep calling on the grocer
until he gave some one an order.

One day, eight or ten days ago, an agent
for a Detroit house entered the grocery pre-
pared for the worst, but what was his amaze-
ment to be received with a smile of welcome.
This was followed by kind words, and later
later on by an order for about $800 worth of
goods. The agent was so elated that he tel-
egraphed the news home and to several of
his acquaintances, and it was a week before
he recovered his usual equilibrium of spirits.

“And did he continue to buy of your
house?” asked one who had listened to the
drummer’s story,

“Well, no.”

‘Why not?’

“Because, within ten days after he got our
goods he failed and couldn’t pay five cents
on the dollar.”

operations in a few days.

several months by reason of litigation, is

SOUTH WATER STREET—NO. 3

 

Bogus Firms--Two Sets of Books- -‘‘Short-
age’’--Other Tricks.

“While you are writing up those South
Water street pirates,” said a grocery jobber
the other day, ‘‘I may as well contribute an
incident that recently come to my notice.
One of my customeas lately received a letter
of inquiry from a firm purporting to do bus-
iness on that street asking if he had any
surplus butter on hand, and if so, his lowest
price for 500 pounds. Asfhe happened to
have about that amount in stock, and was
particularly in need of its equivalent in cash,
he quoted a very low price for the lot, and
was directed to ship it immediately by ex-
press. The name given by the firm soliciting
the shipment was—say J, Smith & Co. In-
quiry at his bank revealed the fact that there
was a reputable firm in the same business by
the name of John Smith & Co., and thinking
that both firms were one and the same, he
shipped his butter to the address given, and
bided his time for the promised ‘prompt re-
turns.’ No report of sales coming to hand,
he drew on the party for the amount, but
the draft came back unhonored. He then
paid a visit to Chicago, found the location of
the firm to whom he had shipped his butter,
but instead of a busy, bustling establishment
was greeted with empty rooms. Some
swindler had assumed a firm name _ nearly
the same as that of a well-known and well-
quoted house as a cover for crooked tran-
sactions. How many consignments the bogus
firm may have secured no one knows, but
one thing is certain—everything received
was pure profit, as no returns were ever
made. This isa commonly-repeated fraud.
and perhaps the relating of this experience
may be the means of cautioning some dealers
who might otherwise fall into the same
trap.”

“Speaking of commission houses and the
consignments of country merchants,” said a
Canal street jobber, “reminds me of the
short-sightedness of the majority of out-of-
town dealers in consigning their surplus
butter and eggs to the commission houses,
instead of sending them to us. We can
work them off to the city trade, and invaria-
bly credit the consignor with the same
amount we receive. On the other hand,
when the produce is sent to a commission
dealer, no more is realized from the sale, and
the consignor is compelled to pay the seller’s
pereentage. Merchants usually explain
their action in this matter by saying that
they get cash returns, which they are able to
use in paying smaller and more pressing
claims than ours, seemingly forgetting that
the house that furnishes them with the
largest line of credit should be the first
thought of; but such is seldom the case.”

“There is one point you have not touched
in your enumeration of the yarious species
of chicanery indulged in by the South Water
Street renegades,” said a business man of
experience, “and that is that most of them
keep two separate sets of books, one for
their own private use—the real books—and
the other to exhibit it to their customers
containing ficticious entries of sales—that
is ostensible records of sales, but in reality
10 to 25 per cent. less than the real figures.”

“Did I ever have any truck with South
Water street?” repeated a local commission
merchant, “Well, I should say I did. A
couple of years ago, I had a earload of pota-
toes to spare, and noticing that a prominent
dealer on that street was quoting them at
45 cents, I consigned the car to him. The
day before the car reached Chicago he quot-
ed them at the same figure, and two days
later similar quotations reached me; but he
reported to me that they were sold the same
day they were received at 35 cents. On ask-
ing him to explain the apparent incongruity
between the quoting and selling price, he
replied that the sudden decline that day was
due to the enormous receipts. That settled
it. There is no going behind the returns on
South Water street. I might add, too, that
the dealer followed an almost universal cus-
tom on that street in reporting the car forty
bushels ‘short.’ ”

“T consigned a carload of apples to a
South Water street dealer a few years ago,”
said another merchant, ‘which cost me just
g247. The consignee claimed that they
were frozen on the way, and reported sales
at $124. The freight, commission and
‘shortage’ amounted to just $124, leaving
me two ciphers as the profits on the deal
and $247 out on the cost of the apples.”

Will some one of our readers volunteer a
good word for the South Water street mounte-
bank? With so much vileness, there must be
an occasional streak of honesty, much as the
surrounding tend to authorize such a char-
acteristic.

PATENTED JUNE 15, 1883.
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 aroomy, comfortable bed when wanted. Of the
many cots that are in the market there is not one, cheap or expensive, on which a comfortable

and collect the whole amount, whether the pa-

per is taken from the office or not.
AS

Arrangements are now in progress by
which our readers will be supplied with a
complete list of lumber quotations. The list
will appear shortly, and will be a regular
feature of the paper thereafter.

eae”

 

One more issue of THE TRADESMAN, and
then an eight-page paper. This involves
much extra expense, and non-subscribers are
respectfully reminded that their $1 will
never be more acceptable than at the present
time.

 

There are few disenters from the opinion
thus expressed by the Sparta Sentinel:

THe MICHIGAN TRADESMAN is to be en-
larged. Mr. Stowe is making an excellent
paper and one that no business man can af-
ford to do without.

 

The people living along the lately flooded
districts of the Ohio River are agitating the
question of “raising the bottoms.” Some of
the manufacturers of quart strawberry boxes
could give them a few pointers on raising
bottoms that would be worth millions.

 

The Traverse City Herald thus voices a
caution that all dealers should heed, whether
their place of business is at Traverse City or
at some cross-roads:

If all our business men will agree to it
they can, by simply leaving the large window
shades in their windows rolled up, instead
of closing them down tightly at night, aid
greatly in the protection of the town
against fire. With a heavy shade drawn
closely before the window, fire might make
considerable head-way in the building before
it could be seen from the street by the watch-
man or passers by. These curtains are no
protection to the store, and are dangerous.
Leave them part way up, at least.

ER TE

So frequent have been the late sudden
changes in quinine, morphia and cinchonidia
that Western jobbers have been unable to fix
a price for these articles, although informed
by wire from New York of every change.
The following advice from a prominent New
York broker, under date of March 6, explains
the situation:

The excitement following the partial de-
struction of the works of Messrs. Powers &
Wightman is subsiding, owing to the re-as-
suring character of the circular issued by that
house, causing a diminution in the deulge of
telegrams, which brokers and merchants
have in the past few days been greatly tax-
ed to answer satisfactorily, quotations in
most instances not being binding beyond the
moment of their utterance. The “shorts”
were all anxiety to buy and the “longs” gen-
erally holding out fora point higher; and
while speculative feeling in quinine, cin-
chonidia and morphia ran high, the actual
transactions have not been commensurate
with the amount of bluster and excitement
prevailing. P.& W. quinine sold up to
$2.50, morphia to $4.50, and cinchonidia to
$1.25, but the makers are now supplying
their regular customers with moderate quan-
tities at the old figure, in consequence of
which the general market on quinine is de-
cidedly weaker in fact may now be said to be
somewhat demoralized. Prices are entirely
nominal, with every indication of further de-
cline.

 

Good Words Unsolicited.

J. McPherson, Lowell “It is a good pa-
per.”

H. M. Marshall, general dealer, Lawrence:
“J think well of your paper.”

P. B. Kirkwood, druggist,
“It’s well worth the money.”

sad

ington: “I consider it the mercantile paper
and wish it success.”

J. B. Dibble, general dealer, Salem: ‘THE
TRADESMAN is more benefit to me than any
other of the five papers I take.”

Geo. Herrick, of Olson & Herrick, lumber,
Cadillaa: “With the addition of lumber
quotations, it will be immense.”

E. Pangborn, general dealer, Pangborn’s
Corners: “I want your paper. It meets a
want long felt by business men, and every
business man ought to be a subscriber for
Jue TRADESMAN.”

Dr. R. A. Schouten, druggist and medicine
manufacturer, City: “THe TRADESMAN
ought to be in every business house, and is
deserving of a large ciaculation. I don’t
want to be without it.”

D. S. Hatfield, traveling agent for Kort-
lander & Grady: “I find your very spicy
little paper in very many places. Everyone
speaks very highly of it. Dr. Lamoreaux,
of Lakeview, says he is well pleased with
i”

A. J. Bachelder, general merchandise,
Clarion: “I am very much pleased with THE
TRADESMAN, and would like to add another
‘Good Word’ to the already large number;
but can only repeat what has been said by
many others, so I will just say that 1 think
it merits all the good words so far and I
hope it will hold out.”

Saranac Business Poinis.
From the Local.

A business block in Saranac will pay bet-
ter than the amount of money at interest.

There is good prospect of an exclusive
clothing store here, with a tailor shop con-
nected, as soon as a suitable location can be
obtained.

Geo. Anderson has sold his interest in the
meat market owned by Anderson & Hawley,
to Fred Abbott, of Keene. The new firm will
be known as Hawley & Abbott.

About 20,000 bushels of corn have beer
shipped to this village and sold to farmers,
this winter. The price has averaged about
62 cents per bushel, which would aggregate
the respectable sum of $12,400 paid out.
This item will partially account for the hard
times among the farming community.

While THE BEvDETTE 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 so 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, butis made adjustable, so that it can be
taken off and put on again by any one ina 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
aee likel se <i out of repair. It makes a pretty lounge, a perfect bed, and the price is within
1e reach of all. .

ALABASTINE!

Se

GUE RR TRS

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. It is the
only 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.

James A. Crookston, Who Carried a Box for
Ten Years.

James A. Crookston was born at Newark,
New York, in 1820, and was educated in the
common schools at that place. In 1843, he
went to Palmyra, N. Y., and entered the em-
ploy of a drug firm as an apprentice, where
he obtained a thorough knowledge of the
business, remaining there over ten years.
Iy 1854, he formed a co-partnership with
James Gallup—now in the insurance busi-
ness in this city—under the firm name of
James A. Crookston & Co., and engaged in
the drug and grocery business at Palmyra.
In the same year he was married to Miss M.
J. Smith, who has borne him two daughters.
He remained in trade in Palmyra five years,
when Mr. Crookston came to Grand Rapids,
and purchased the drug steck and business
then owned by Cole & Wilson, located on
Canal street, where W. T. Lamoreaux now
is, which business was also conducted under
the old firm name, the Palmyra business
having in the mean time been disposed of.
In 1859, the firm removed to the store now
occupied by;C. P. Bigelow, and in the spring
of 1860 Mr. Crookston sold his interest to his
partner, returning to Palmyra and engaging
in the drug, grocery and hat and cap busi-
ness, which he continued for twelve years.
In 1872, he sold out and removed to Cheboy-
gan, where he fermed a co-partnership with
Joseph Jessup, and engaged in general
trade. In the spring of 1874, he removed to
Grand Rapids, to enter the employ or Shep-
ard & Hazeltine as traveling salesman. Jan-
uary 1, 1882, he was rewarded for eight
years’ faithful service by being admitted as
a partner in the firm, the style being then
changed to Shepard, Hazeltine & Co. On
the reorganization of the firm, three months
later, the name was changed to Hazeltine,
Perkins & Co., Mr. Crookston still retaining
his interest. For about six years, he was
the only traveler in the employ of the firm,
and was compelled to cover the entire trade
of Western Michigan, but of late years his
territory has been divided with Mr. Mills,
Mr. Crookston still visiting all the Northern
trade and the patrons of the firm on the
Chicago & West Michigan and the Michigan
Central, east of New Buffalo.

Mr. Crookston is perhaps best known as
the man who carried a box as a sample case
for ten years, which was compelled to do
duty until it nearly fellfto pieces, and is now
preserved in the house as a relic. To this
box he attributed all manner of good luck,
having suffered no accident so long as he
carried it, and meeting a severe shaking up
on the first trip out without it.

A Modern Methuselah.

No one would suspect from the appearance
of Prof. T. P. S. Hampson, traveling repre-
sentative for Hazeltine, Perkins & Co., that
he is 115 years of age, yet such is a fact, if
we are to believe the statements that he has
made at different times relative to the num-
ber of years he has pursued various callings.
He has been a steamboat captain for five
years, a preacher for 15 years, a barber for
25 years, a pilot for 15 years, a sailor 30
years, an African explorer for 5 years, anda
traveling salesman for ten years. As the
above figures foot up 105 years, and as he
must have been at least 10 years of age be-
fore he could have served as cabin boy or
preacher, he is at the present time 115 years
of ago. Those intimate with the gentleman
claim that at times they have figured his age
at 247 years, taking his own statements as
authoritive on the subject. And who ought
to be better posted than the man most di-
rectly interested?

Present Status of the Kendall Case.

Tom Carroll has been in New York for
some days trying to effect a settlement,
with the Kendall creditors, with what
suecess it is impossible to state. It is
understood that Kendall is anxious to effect
a compromise on the basis of 25 per cent.,
and judging by the schedule of assets and
liabilities, the creditors would be fortunate
to secure that proportion of their claims,
although the assignee is sanguine that eco-
nomical management of the estate will en-
able him to realize nearly or quite that
amount. There is a movement on the part
of Kendall and his friends to secure the
stock at the figure named, in order to en-
able him to continue the business, but the
assignee states that the maa who bids_high-
est takes it, regardless of the relation he
may sustain to the assignor.

A TALE OF TWO STATES.

 

Peculiar Legal Twist in the Wetzell Assign-
ment.

Recent developments in the Wetzell
Bros.’ assignment have brought about a
peculiar legal predicament, the outcome of
which will be watched for with interest by
the large number of persons directly interest-
ed. Atthe time of the assignment, the
Wetzells owned a tract of pine in Minneso-
ta, in the vicinity of Duluth, which was in-
cluded in the list of assets. The assign-
ment, however, was not immediately filed
in that State. In the mean time, Messrs.
Winegar & Peck, of Alba, who were credi-
tors of the Wetzells to the amount of $4,000,
attached the land on the ground that the as-
signment was void in that State. The at-
tachment was immediately reported to the
City National Bank by an interested party,
and that institution took steps to attach the
land for the amount of the firm’s protested
paper held by it. In the mean time, how-
ever, the assignment was properly accorded.
Percy T. Cook and Wagner & Follmer, cred-
itors of the Wetzells, at the instance of the
assignees, began proceedings under the Min-
nesota insolvency laws—from which our
late insolvency Jaw was copied—to have a
receiver appointed. This would have dis-
missed the attachments. The case was
heard about March 1, by Judge Sterns, at
Duluth, and the court dismissed the proceed-
ings, holding that the insolvency law of
Minnesota did not apply to debtors who
were not residents of the State of Minnesota.
Mr. M. J. Clark, one of the assignees, is now
in Minnesota, and asserts that he will spare
no expense to dissolve the attachments; but
the general impression among business and
professional men seems to be that all the at-
tachments made prior to the filing of the as-
signment will hold.

It is understood that the assignees hold
that the partiestlevying the attachments were
cognizant of the fact that deeds for the
property had been executed by the Wetzells
in favor of their assignees, and that the
mere failure to file the deeds does not con-
stitute a technicality strong enough to prej-
udice theircase. On the other hand, the
parties who levied the attachments claim
that while they were aware that an assign-
ment had been made, they had no knowl-
edge of the execution of deeds covering the
property attached.

Proceedings were recently instituted in
the Cireuit Court here against the City Na-
tional Bank for the purpose of restraining
that institution from going forward with
their attachments, but they are not being

pressed.

Figures in the Granello Case.

H. T. Ledyard, assignee of Frank Granel-
lo, the merchant tailor who recently made
an assignment, has completed an inventory
of the stock and accounts, and furnishes
THE TRADESMAN with the following

 

figures:

Inventory value of stock and fixtures $3,311 09

Book accounts... .....:.-.....: 6.25.2 se 2,085 15
Ee NO ee ee $5,396 24

Appraised value of stock and fixtures$2,018 60

Good book accounts..............-0+665 ,050 00
Po $3,068 60

The unusual discrepancy between the in-
ventory and apprised values is owing to the
large amount of winter goods in stock, which
are at present unsalable, and cannot be dis-
posed of to advantage until next fall.

The total liabilities amount to $7,236.62,
divided among nine creditors in the follow-
ing amounts:

Dormeuil Bros., London, Eng.......... $2,208 23
Alberger, Storer & Co., Philadelphia... 1,311 19
Tippencatt, Johnson & Co., ‘ io. (820

The business will be carried on by the
assignee until the creditors designate some
other manner of closing out the business.

Local Speculation in Quinine.

As an illustration or the uncertainty at-
tending speculations in quinine, an incident
recently occuring in this city may be relat-
ed. Will L. White, clerk in E. R. Wilson’s
drug store, purchased 100 ounces of Hazel-
tine, Perkins & Co. the day before the burn-
ing of Powers & Wightman’s establishment,
and was surprised the next morning to find
that his purchase had increased in value
about 50 per cent., netting him an even $65.
Refusing an offer of $25 above the purchase
price, made by the firm from whom he
bought the quinine, be consigned it to a
New York broker, expecting to realize the
full amount of the advance. Before it
reached its destination, however, quinine
dropped to the old price,so that instead of 1e-
alizing anything from the speculation, he is
out the expressage. And now he is kicking
himself for not letting good enough alone,
and being satisfied with $25 fer the use of
$130 one day.

a Natste

The best goods for the least money can 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 response to our advertisement in
the late issues of THE TRADESMAN from
country merchants for canned goods was lib-
eral beyond our expectation. Several of the
orders were from localities where we are
not represented by an agent, and for other
goods in our line. Mail orders on this ac-
count, are all the more appreciated, with care-
and prompt attention given them.

Readers of THe TRADESMAN will find
it to their interest to keep a business eye

Failure After a Good Season.

M. E. Tomlinson, who has been engaged in
the coal business in this city for several
years, has literally ‘gone to pieces.” Upon
being pressed for the payment of a claim
for $4,000, owing the Delaware, Lackawana
& Western Railway Co., in addition to $1,-
800, advanced to pay freights, he gave the
corporation a bill of sale covering all the
hard coal in stock, anda lease of his yard
for storing and handling the same. He sub-
sequently gave the City National Bank a
chattel mortgage and assigned his book ac-
counts to secure $1,500 of his paper held by
