From the Big Rapids Herald. “How does your new organization flour- ish?” asked the Herald man of a member of the Merchants’ Protective Association of Big Rapids. ‘‘First-rate,” got ’em! bother us any more. our own fault.” “Got who?” was the interrogation. “The dead-beats—the very leeches of business houses. We have an organization of merchants and business men, and when we get a man on our books who proves to be a bad egg, we pass him ’round as a dead- beat.” ‘*How do you run the concern to make it suecessful?” “‘Well, it’s easily explained. In the first place we have for our object this, ‘to pro- tect merchants and business men generally, doing a credit business in the city of Big Rapids and vicinity, against defaulting, ir- responsible and delinquent debtors, and to report to them the names of such debtors, with their address, occupation, amount of delinquency, ete., every member ofithe As- sociation being pledged to not extend another dollor of credit to one so reported.’ ” *“Do you live up to your pledges?” “TY should smile!’ And here the counte- nance of the business man lightened up with an air of sweet revenge. “How long have you been organized?” “Oh, not very long.” ‘How strong is your membership?” was the reply. ‘‘We’ve We've got ’em where they can’t If they do, it will be ‘Strong enough to have already made its influence felt, and save each of us lots of dead-beats. We have now some sixty-five members—the cream of the retail merchants and buisness men—and quite a list of new ones to be admitted at next meeting.” “Do you admit business men from au- joining townships?” “Tf in the county. Paris, Stanwood and Mecosta are already represented, and others are coming in.” ‘*Will their admission make you strong- er?” ‘*Yes, sir; there’s a class of men who, af- ter they have beat every man in the city, will remove to the towns around, and there beat them; also who come in from outside and beat us. Weare extending our member- ship outside the city, with the view to head them off.” “How many similar there in the State?” ‘Lots of them. Don’t know how many; but they are quite plenty, and growing all the time. Then we have reliable corres- pondents everywhere—in all parts of the United States and Canada. In Northern Michigan many similar Associations have been organized within a few weeks. We shall soon have underway a State Associa- tion, with proper officers.” Associations are “Whatare your methods? proceed?” “It is very simple. Suppose you are a member of the Association. We furnish you with printed blanks. You have on your books charges for goods against men who will not pay. They have got into your debt, and you see them no more as customers You call on them, send them dunning let- ters, threaten, them with law and justice, do all you can to have them pay you, or settle in some manner. But in vain. Well, you are tired of that kind of work, and as_pre- haps the account has been standing months, may be years, you don’t care a snap whether you offend or please them. You take one of these blanks, which is headed by the name of our Association, and fill it out with the name of the debtor. It reads: ‘You will please remit to or call upon (yourself or anyone else to whom you may have en- trusted your accounts) and settle your bill at once. You are hereby granted fifteen days from the date of this notice to pay the said account, or arrange for its payment. If you fail to do so, you will be reported as a delinquent, and your name published in the Dead-Beat List of the Association. Every membenof this Association is pledged not to extend another dollar of credit to one so reported. For the sake of your reputa- tion, spare us the necessity of reporting your name, and the unenviable notoriety that goes withit.’ Then follows the amount of your bill, and the signature of our Asso- ciation. While you fill out the blank as a matter of convenience to you, the demand is practically from our Association. Do you see?” ‘Yes. Well, what follows?” ‘‘Why, if the debtor is an honest man, he drops in, make his statement of the delay, and pays up, or promises to do so. You are governed by circumstances. If you have faith in him—and often times men are so situated by circumstances that they cannot pay, althoc.;h anxious to do so—you make some satisfactory arrangement with him; perhaps take his note for 30, 60, 90 days— six months: or he says he will bring you some wood; any arrangement that is satis- factory. It is a settlement that you are af- ter. He may have imposed upon you delib- How do you 2 egately, designedly, when he obtained the | credit, or may be unable to pay, although | willing. If heis of the dead-beat class— got his turn served, and then tells you to whistle—he will of course pay no attention to the ‘‘official” dun. It has no terrors for him. Youuse yourown judgement. When satisfied that your account is lost, you hand it in to our Secretary; at a business meet- ing, the case is talked over, and then the name placed on the black list—the Dead- Beat List.” ‘*What does your -Dead-Beat List consist of? Are all served alike?” ‘Our list is divided into three classes: In the first class, we enter the names of those who are able to pay, but are slow, careless and indifferent, but when pressed shell out. In the second class we enter the names of those willing, but unable through misfor- tune to pay. In the third class we enter after the name dead-heat.” “Wave you many names on your black list?” r | “Have we? Yes, about two hundred and | lots to follow.” “Does your plan interfere with honest | people getting credit at a store.” “Not in the least. Just the opposite. The | list is corrected at each meeting, new names | added, and each member provided with a| copy for his own use. A man goes into Simpson’s, asks for credit, and if worthy is | given it. But if his name is among the| dead-beats, he is told point blank he cannot | be accommodated.” ‘“*What do the dead-beats think of it?” “Don’t know, nor don’t care a brass far- thing. There are a class of men, and some of them wear good clothes, too, and hold their heads up, who are confirmed dead- beats. They will by hook or by crook get into the grocer, butcher, tailor, clothier, or anyone who will trust them, and never give a thought about the pay. You would be surprised if you could see their names. It is this class who get of me all they can and then never darken my door again. They go over to Brown’s and repeat the robbery. From store to store they go—a little here and a little there, and fairly live on us. Now, each member of the Association knows who they are, and refuses them cred- it. Thus we learn the dishonest from the honest man.” “Will your Association publish a list of the more notorious dead-beats?” “There, now you must not be too inquisi- | tive. Why are you enquiring so closely into | the affairs of the Merchant’s Protective As- | sy sociation? “Oh, nothing!” seenomcintmsenenncenecnaape pA MANTON IN MOURNING. The Dead-Beats of that Place Sad and Dejected. In response to an invitation from the bus- iness men of Manton, the editor of Tue TRADESMAN betook himself to that place last Wednesday evening for the purpose of assisting in the formation of a business men’s association. The subject had been thoroughly canvassed at a preliminary meeting of the merchants of the place, so that it required no extended argument to con- vince those interested in the matter that or- ganization was for the mutual advantage of everyone engaged in trade. The meeting was called to order by Frank A. Jenison, who was made temporary chair- man, and R. Fuller was asked to officiate as secretary. After a brief explanation by Mr. Stowe of the proper method to pursue to or- ganize an association, R. Fuller moved that it be the sense of the meeting that the or- ganization be proceeded with immediately. The motion was adopted, when another mo- | tion was made to adopt the constitution and by-laws of the Saranac association in amend- ed form, which was also adopted. The eon- stitution as adopted, is as follows: CONSTITUTION. We, the undersigned business men Manton and vicinity, recognizing the ne- cessity for concerted action, hereby agree to associate ourselves together for the pur- pose of fostering a more social feeling among the members of the trade; keeping a blacklist of dead beats who prey upon the trade, and the encouragement of every un- taking which tends to the material advance- ment of the trade and the community. - BY-LAWS.

The special aim of this Associa- | tion is to facilitate the collection of doubt- i ful accounts and other debts by fair and | honorable methods, and to guard against | the extending of eredit to debtors found on | investigation to be unworthy of it. Rule 2.

Any member trusting a man whose name appears on delinquent list shall be fined 310. An opportunity was then given those pre- sent to join the Association, when the fol- lowing names were handed in: Frank Weaver, Frank A. Jenison, R. Fuller, Jas. MeMichael, J. C. Bostick, MeFarlane & White, Frank Rose, J. C. Hill, C. E. Coop- er, A. Woodward, C. B. Bailey, N. F. Huntly and Strickland & Lee. Election of officers being then in order, the various positions were filled as follows: President—Frank A. Jenison. Wice-President—Jas. MeMichael. Secretary—R. Fuller. ‘Treasurer—J. C. Bostick. Executive Committee—President, Secre- tary, Treasurer, M. F. White and C. B. Bailey. Business Committee—H. C. McFarlane, Frank Weaver and A. Woodward. A notification blank was then adopted for use in the collection department and the Executive Committee was instructed to pro- cure the necessary printing. Frank A. Jenison, Jas. MeMichael and A. Woodward were elected delegates to the State Convention. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Stowe for his assistance in effecting the organiza- tion, when the meeting adjourned for one month. Manton business men now present a solid front to the dead-beat and there is no valid reason why the Business Men’s Asso- ciation of that place should not put hun- dreds of dollars into the pocket of every member. ~ ‘The Michigan Tradesman, Mercantile and Mannfacturing Interests of the State, H.

With this issue, Tor TRADESMAN com- pletes its third year of publication and en- ters upon a fourth year under most favor- able auspices. Although the recipient of an exceptional subscription patronage a year ago, it has made marked advance in that direction during the past twelve-month, and it is the ardent hope of the publishers that Tie TRADESMAN may continue to grow in the good graces of the retail trade of Michigan. The coming year promises to be unusu- ally eventful to the trade of this State. The organization of local associations is destined to work more or less improvement in the present methods of merchandizing, in which work the State organization is likely to play no unimportant part. Con- scious that a higher degree of business integ- rity and a reformation of trade abuses could only be brought about through concerted action, THE TRADESMAN was the first trade journal in the West to espouse the cause of organization, and the result of its work in this direction is manifested in the forty associations now existing in this State, and the prospective formation of the first State organization yet established in this country. With such a record to which to refer, and with a realizing sense that iis weekly visits are cordially weleomed in every city, town and hamlet in the State, Ture TRADESMAN has good ground for the be- * ficient merit to commend itself to the busi- ness men of the State. This will not be done if the distinctive feature is to extin- guish the so-called dead-beat. I want to see the abuse of the credit system extin- guished along with him. I do not want this convention to be a grocers’ association, a druggists’ association or a protective associ- ation, but a business men’s association, which will include all local organizations of dry goods, grocery, boot and shoe, drug- gists, merchants’ union and protective assso- ciations. Iam in no way in sympathy with the element which preys upon every mer- chant and will unite in any good plan to diminish their number; but the mercantile profession will never be exalted by preying upon the dead-beat. To me it seems that the following features ought to be made the most of: 1. Asa social feature, our business men ought to come together once a year. 2. As an educational feature, questions concerning trade should be discussed annu- ally. 3. Asa reform feature, the abuses of the trade should receive deserved attention, es- pecially long hours in stores (and here let me say that in some localities this is an abuse upon both employers and salesmen) and this convention ought to stamp its condem- nation upon the method of ‘‘keeping open” fourteen hours each week day, when in ten hours the same could be accomplish- ed; non-observanee of national holidays, ete. 4. As a public improvement feature, when the combined effort of the business men could inaugurate and advance enter- prises for the public good. 5. AS a financial feature, the establish- ment of a collection department for the re- viewing of old accounts and the listing of delinquents as they move from one locality to another. Finally, let us have a Michigan Business Mews Association and open the doors wide enough to admit any reputable business man. Mr. Hamilton’s views as above outlined are worthy the careful consideration of every person interested in the subject of State or- ganization, as he has given the question con- tinuous and conscientious study for months. AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE. The earthquake continues to be the topic of general interest. Charleston is now as- certained to have been the only center of population at which great injury to life, person and property was sustained. But in this city of 50,000 people, some 5,000 are altogether homeless, while many others have only homes they fear to enter, as the inju- ries they they have sustained make them unsafe. As we frequently have argued, there should have been funds at the dis- posal of the national executive to relieve such a necessity as this. But Congress will not vote money for such a purpose, unless it occurs while it is in session; and the au- thorities can do nothing but send a very in- adequate supply of tents. It is said that this is no time for the President and _ his Cabinet to be away from the seat of govern- ment; but what could they do if they were there? ‘Their hands are tied by the refusal to invest them with any discretion for the aid of such sufferings as this; and it would be of no use to send messages of condolence. So the burden of relieving this and similar distresses is thrown upon private benevo- lence, and it comes just at a time when the people most likely to give are the least ac- cessible. But those who are on hand have shown their willingness to do what they can. The scientific people are busying them- selves about the matter by vamping up old theories about the cause of earthquakes, and by asking very urgently for exact data as to the time and direction of the shock. The former are threshed straw to all who have paid any attention to the matter; of what use the latter will be, except as the material for a sort of scientific coroner’s in- quest, we do not know. The most. signifi- cant fact elicited thus far is that some time after the shocks there was a shower of peb- bles within the limits of Charleston. Does this mean that somewhere in that neighbor- hood there was a violent ejection of such pebbles from a fissure made by the earth- quake? It also was observed in this case, as in the much more stupendous earthquake in New Zealand a few weeks previously, that atmospnerie disturbance preceded the shocks. In New Zealand they were ac- companied by the most violent of thunder. storms. THE COMING CONVENTION. The first convention of Michigan business men, which assembles in this city next Tuesday, promises to be the most notable gathering of the kind ever seen in this State. Composed in great part of retail merchants, and wholly of reputable business men, the convention owes it to itself and the important branches of trade it repre- lief that the future is pregnant with even | greater results than the past, and that thy, time is not far distant when it can extend its following to localities in which it is now comparatively unknown. TIE 6 oT SOREN. OUTLINING A PROGRAMME. As chairman of the Committee on Pro- gramme for the coming State convention, the editor of Tue TrApESMAN wrote Frank Hamilton, of Traverse City, asking him to preside atthe opening session of the meeting. Mr. Hamilton was selected for the position for the reason that he was the first president of the first business men’s association organ- ized in Michigan and was also the first to suggest a State organization, which sugges- tion was made through the columns of. this paper. In response to the invitation above referred to, Mr. Hamilton replied as follows, under date of September ii: _ Dear Srr—Yours of the 9th at hand. I will act as chairman for the session named. tion placed upon sents to weigh every measure brought be- fore it with candor and discretion and give its sanction to such methods only as will tend to the advancement of the interests df the trade as a whole. Ina body make up so miscellaneously there will necessarily be conflicting opinions, and not a few will come to ride their hobbies, but the good sense of the convention will undoubtedly be exercised in such a way as to avoid antago- nisms and unite upon a plan of action which cannot fail to exert a beneficial influ- ence over the trade and all who come in contact with the trade. A large body of Roman Catholies in Cin- cinnati is agitated over the question whether they are ever to be repaid any of the moneys loaned the late Archbishop Purcell, of Cin- cinnati, and employed by him in the erec- tion of schools, churches and monasteries in that diocese. The Archbishop and his brother, who managed the business, do not seem to have had even an elementary idea of the nature of such transactions, Nothing in recent finance except the firm of Grant & Ward could equal the confusion and reck- lessness with which the finances of the dio- cese were administered. It broke the hearts of both the well-meaning but incompetent priests when the results of their financier- ing were brought home to them, and the Archbishop resigned his diocese. The lend- ers, of course, were all Catholics who seemed to have thought the Purcells could coin money to meet their obligations as some wise New Yorkers must have thought of Ferd. Ward; and their losses by the col- lapse of the operationsshave soured them against the church itself. Ata recent meet- ing they called upon the assignees of the Purcell estate to collect from the new Arch- bishop rents for the use of the cathedral and other churches built with their money; and they also demanded the entire exclusion of bishops and priests from the manage- ment of secular concerns of any kind. In view of this case and that of the Augustine Fathers, at Lawrence, Mass., it certainly would be better for the Roman Catholic Church to forbid its priesthood to use their great influence with the laity for the pro- motion of any financial enterprise. Butter Inspector Howe, of Chicago, claims that he has at last discovered a process by which genuine butter can be distinguished | from the spurious article. The material to be experimented upon is placed ina glass tube and submerged in water, which is then slowly heated to a temperature of 105 de- grees Fahrenheit. This causes a separation, the heavier parts sinking to the bottom. In genuine butter the sediment is white, con- sisting of salt, caseine and natural constit- uents, while the oil on top is perfectly clear F. H.

From the Bradford Era. Four lamps and one candle, all lighted, stood in a row, last evening, on a mantel piece in the Oil Exchange. Each lamp was said to contain a different sample of refined oil. American 110 deg., ditto headlight, Lima and Canadian being the brands rep- resented. Each incomer was requested to point out the lamp in which Lima oil was burning, and most of them failed, or hit up- on it by accident. The color of the oils varied from water-white to deep amber, but to the casual observer there was no apparent degrees in the brightness of the respective flames. It was an interesting but hardly an exhaustive test. nt _ Ginger beer, in some of the stages of fer- mentation, is said to be very unwholesome.

Todd in Drug Reporter. | As great interest is attached at present to Trade Inter- | | } } | the outlook for peppermint production, ae would say that the distillation of the new | crop of peppermint is delayed by rains. The | old crop has been distilled, having been the poorest crop on record. number of rains during the past two weeks, which will improve the new crop from the | | gas wells, non-condensible gases from char- critical position in which the drought has placed it. On account of these rains the distillation of the new crop will be delayed, in hopes of an improvement in its growth. I enclose extracts from letters from two well-known farmers of Wayne county, N. Y., just received. Under date of August 24, Mr. Henry Jen- nings writes: Reports from the north part of the county are that mint is running poor, one twelve acre piece yielding but, three pounds to the acre, and it seems to be talked around that mint hasn’t oiled as wellas usual. What I have run (south of Lyons) however, has done as well as last year.” Under date of August 26, Mr. Chas. E. Fellows writes: ‘‘The territdrry of mint planted in our immediate vicinity, I should say is 25 per cent. greater than last year. The yield south of Lyons is passably fair, north of Lyons very poor, growing poorer going toward the lake. New mint light on the ground; that planted very early, good; that planted late, very poor; will average light per acre, although running fair from tubs.” Owing to. the recent change in the weath- er, distillation can hardly be completed until October, although it may mostly be accom- plished by the last of September. —- 2 <->. Muskegon Drug Clerks’ Association. MUSKEGON, Sept. 12, 1886. Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN: Dear Srr—The regular semi-monthly meeting of the M. D. C. A. was held on the 8th inst., all the members being present excepting two. Owing to the absence of the President, Vice-President Schumacher officiated and called the meeting to order. Mr. P. VanDiense was appointed critic. The minutes of the preceeding meeting and a few communications were read. There being no papers, the balance of the evening was passed in social conversation, and dis- cussions on various drugs and chemicals. A. E. Gebhard, a former drug clerk of this city, and late of Salt Lake City, was pres- ent and took a lively interest in the pro- ceedings. After the critic’s report was heard, the meeting adjourned until the 22d. L. B. GLover, Secy. i 9 te Adulterated Powdered Ginger. A correspondent writes the Bottler’s Gazette to ascertain where pure powdered ginger can be obtained. He has found all his purchases to be very week and is cur- ious to know the cauge.

STOWE & BRO., Proprietors. Office in Eagle Building, 49 Lyon St., 3d Floor. Telephone No. 95, {Entered at the Postofice at Gran@® Rapids as Second-class Matter.) WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1886. BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. PAYMENT OF DEBT BEFORE DUE. According to the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in the case of Sayers - ys. Kent, no presumption of intent to de- fraud creditors arises for paying install- ments of a debt before coming due, and tak- ing a rebate of interest thereon. BOGUS CHECK. Bic. Rapins, Sept. 10, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Srmr—An individual who calls him- self a business man gave me a check the other day for an account against him, tak- ing my receipt in full. The bank refused to eash the check, on the ground that the per- son giving it had no funds on deposit there, but the gentleman refuses to arrange for the payment of the check or return my receipt. Under the circumstances it would seem as though I might proceed against him legally. Am [I right in so thinking? Yours, MERCHANT. You are wrong. In giving the person a receipt you did not waive your claim to any property, as you had the check to show for the same. If the person had obtained goods or money, however, by giving youa bogus check, he would have been liable to prosecution on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses. As it is, he is guilty of a breach of business decency, which stamps him as a fraud. SELLING TIES A SECOND TIME. LEE, Sept. 10, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Str—lI have a special favor to ask of you, to-wit: To ascertain if it is a crime fora man to sell acertain piece of property and deliver it to one man and re- ceive pay for the same, then to sell the same piece of property to another party and ob- tain pay for the same again. And how can the rascal be punished for committing such an outrage? I will explain more fully. A certain man delivered some ties on the line of the rail- way here, sold them to Mr. A. and got pay for them. He then went to another town and sold the same ties to Mr. B. and obtain- ed pay a second time. Ihave written the prosecuting attorney of this county and he says we cannot prosecute aman in a crim- inal court for doing such a thing. If it ean or if it cannot be done, I think it would be of service to retail grocerymen (as they are interested in such affairs) to have your opin- ion appear in Tut TRADESMAN under the title of Business Law. Yours truly, S. D. HALE. If the person above referred to made a _valid sale of the ties to the first purchaser, he rendered himself liable to a criminal prosecution for obtaining money under false pretenses by selling them a second time. It hardly seems possible that the Prosecuting Attorney of Allegan county would construe the law as Mr. Hale asserts. ADMISSIBILITY OF TIME-BOOK. In the case of Mayor vs. Second avenue Railway Company, the New York Court of Appeals held, that in order to prove the number of days work performed upon a job a time-book kept by a time-keeper was ad- missable in evidence, it having been first proved by the gang foreman that he correctly reported each day to the time-keeper the number of men at work upon the job, and by the time-keeper that he had correctly entered in the tige-book the time reported to him by the gang foreman. The court said: Wethink entries so made, with the evidence of the foremen that they made true reports, and of the person who made the entries that he correctly entered them, are admissible. It is substantially by this meth- od of accounts that the transactions of bus- iness in numerous cases are authenticated, and business could not be earried on and accounts kept in many cases without great inconvenience, unless this method of keep- ing and proving accounts is sanctioned. In a business where many laborers are employ- ed the accounts must, in most cases, of necessity be kept by a person not cognizant of the facts, and from reports made by oth- ers. The person in charge of the laborers knows the fact, but he may not have the skill, or for other reasons it may be incon- venient that he should keep the account. It may be assumed that a system of accounts based upon substantially the same methods as the accounts in this case is in accordance with the usage of business. In admitting an account verified as was this account here, there is little danger of mistake, and the ad- mission of such an account as legal evidence is often necessary to preventa failure of jus- tice. _>-—->—————- One phase of the labor question was de- veloped by an official taking a school census recently. He was met at the door by a tired- looking little woman. ‘‘What is your hus- band’s business, madam?” ‘‘Oh, he has no business.”. ‘*What does he work at?” ‘He does no work, he is a labor reformer.” “What do you do?” “I take in washing and ironing.” ‘That is the way a number of ‘friends of the laboring man” settle the jabor question ; they let their wives do work to support them, while they are reforming ee POK & BRADFORD WHOLESALE TOBACCONISTS Full Line Key West Goods in Stock.

Draw back your skirts lest they perchance May touch her garments as she passes; But to him put forth a willing hand To clasp with his that led her to destruction And disgrace. Shut up from her the sacred Ways of toil, that she no more may win an Honest meal; but ope to him all honorable Paths, where he may win distinction. Give him fair, pressed-down measures of Life’s sweetest joys. Pass her, O maiden, With a pure, proud face, if she puts out — A poor, polluted palm, but lay thy hand in His on bridal day, and swear tocling to him With wifely love and tender reverence; Trust him who led a sister woman To afearful fate. Yes, stone the woman—let the man go free! Let one soul suffer for the guilt of two Is the doctrine of a hurried world, Too out of breath for holding balances Where nice distinctions and injustices Are calmly weighted. But, ab, how will it be On that strange day of final fire and flame, When man shall stand before the one true_ Judge? Shall sex make then a difference In Sin? Shall He, the Searcher of the hidden Heart, in his eternal and divine decree, Condemn the woman and forgive the man? eee ial ores oe HURRAH FOR HONDURAS. Best Place in the World to Find Fruits and Fortunes. Col. Pat Donan, the extensive and tireless traveler, was interviewed the other day in an eastern city about Honduras, whither he is soon to return. “Oranges, bananas, lemons, paw-paps and thousands of other tropical fruits,” he said, ‘‘grow wild in the forests of Honduras and even in the streets of cities and the highways. If you want a lemonade there, one of the pretty Spanish girls of the family you are boarding with will step out into the yard and squeeze the juice of a lemon into a glass without plucking the fruit from the tree. bananas. The natives split the ripe fruit in the bunch and eat the luscious pulp with- out removing the outer covering from the stalk. It’sa great scheme. In Honduras you never hear of a man sitting down so hard as to rip his pantaloons because he has stepped on a banana skin. Then the oranges! Why, they’re so large and juicy that they burst open on the branches like baked apples. In the forests it is a com- mon thing to find the ground under an orange tree as damp as though it had been moistened by a lawn-sprinkler, just from the juice that drops from the bursted fruit. I tell you that’s a great fruit coyntry. ‘Honduras grows more oranges wild than are cultivated in the groves of Cali- fornia and Florida combined, and other fruits in proportion. When the country is fully settled, there will be great money there for fruit raisers and exporters. Honduras is also rich in mines. Many of them have already been prospected, showing rich de- posits, but owing to the unstable condition of affairs few have yet been extensively worked. Ina few years, when filibuster- ing expeditions become imposible and enter- prising Americans get down there, Central America is going to yield some regular old Argonaut-day fortunes.” ———_—_—>-+ > This Means You.

The Traverse City Business Men’s Asso- ciation has elected the following delegates to the State convention: Frank Hamilton, T. R. Bentley, Harry Montague, C. A. Hammond and 8. E. Wait. Robert M. Floyd was asked to respond to the toast ‘‘Buckwheat” at the banquet, but requested that the subject be changed to “The Ladies,” which was granted. THE TRADESMAN is well acquainted with Mr. Floyd and assures those who attend the ban- quet that a rare treat is in store for them, for what Mr. Floyd doesn’t know about his chosen subject is not worth knowing. Smith Barnes writes THe TRADESMAN as follows: ‘‘As matters now stand, it looks as if there was a reasonable probabil- ity of my being present at the annual con- vention and, if not, that I shall be able to send a little article as a representative. But should I personally attend, I deem it advisable to inform you that when it comes to responding to toasts Iam not a_profes- sional after-dinner speach-maker.” Smith Barnes, of Traverse City, has agreed to respond to the toast, ‘*The Busi- ness Men of Michigan.” As the manager of the extensive mercantile interests of ‘Han- nah, Lay & Co. since 1859, previous to which time he carried on a small business in a small town in Oakland coun- ty, Mr. Barnes. is well qualified to do the suject justice—a subject which com- paratively few men in Michigan are capable of thoroughly comprehending. ” Southern Michigan Heard From. Monrog, Sept. 6, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Si1r—I should have answered your kind invitation to us outsiders to the priv- ilege of being present at your first meeting of the Associated Associations of Michigan ere this, were it not for the assurance that you would upon that occasion have sufficient boils without my bringing mine; but being freed of them, I now wish to say that it is my hope and desire to be present. There- fore will you kindly send me such invita- tion as will enable me to procure my ticket and take advantage of the arrangement you have made with the railroads. Also will you kindly let me know when the meet- ings are to be held,fwith full particulars, and if any arrangements are made with any of the hotels, in ease of my arriving Mon- day evening. I certainly think all outsiders who possibly can should avail themselves of the great privilege of coming to hear and to see what a body of grocers look like away from their tea chests. Wishing with all my heart that the con- vention way be a grand success, I shall also be proud to see the motive force of your esteemed paper and of spending a few mo- ments with you and your staff, as I want to see you and learn all I canin my flying visit to your city. Yours truly, . PAu P. MoRGAN. 2 Failure of J. F. Hacker, at Corinth. J. F. Hacker, the Corinth general dealer, made an assignment on the 7th to Dr. P. B. Wright, of Corinth, who will proceed to close out the stock for the benefit of the credit- ors. Two mortgageg were placed on the stock last July: > for $500 to Dr. Wright and one for $30Q to a Mr. Cook—but the creditors were not made acquainted with the facts in the matter until after the as- signment was recorded. The assets com- prise siock and book accounts, estimated at about $3,000, and the liabilities will reach the same amount. The following are the creditors so far as learned by THE TRADES- MAN: De. P.

There appears to be a feeling among the laboring men of this village that the Busi- ness Men’s Protective Association was form- ed for the express purpose of injuring them. Such is not the case. The honest working- man will be the gainer instead of the loser by the movement. It is a fact which every- body must know, that business men who are doing a credit business have to make a cer- tain allowance for losses from bad debts, or go under. The men who pay have to make these losses good. Suppose there were no such losses, merchants could afford to sell their goods at a smaller margin than they dow do. This would be favorable to the paying classes, while the professional dead- beat is certainly not entitled to credit and should not be carried by the honest men. —__-—> -*- <> South Arm and East Jordan Organized. Soutn ARM, Sept. 9, 1886. E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids: DEAR Str—At an adjourned meeting of the South Arm and East Jordan Bankers and Business Men’s Association, held on the 7th inst., the committee apointed at a previous meeting to draft a constitution and by-laws presented the same, which were adopted. The following officers were elec- ted for the ensuing year; President—A. E. Pickard. Vice President—H. L. Page. Treasurer—John Chamberlin. Secretary—John Leng. The Secretary was instructed to procure the necessary blanks, when the meeting adjourned. JouHN LENG, Seec’y <> oo The Grocery Market. Sugars are somewhat firmer than they were a week ago and a trifle higher. Corn and cane syrups are also firmer. Canned goods, especially tomatoes, are notably firmer. Cheese continues to advance and pickels exhibit a disposition to go higher. Mackerel are bound to rule hig, on account of a tremendous shortage in the Laberador catch. Other articles in the grocery line are about steady. Candy is active and firm. Lemons are a shade lower. Nuts are steady. — > «> An Iowa Opinion. From the Sioux City Commercial Bulletin. Tue MicnIGAN TRADESMAN, published at Grand Rapids; is an excellent representa- tive of the commercial and manufacturing interests of its beautiful and flourishing city. Messrs. Stowe & Bro. are deserving of a large share of praise from the country merchants throughout the State, in largely aiding them in their local€organizations and otherwise helping them to establish a credit system that will avert many losses from a worthless class of customers. Let the good work go on. —_—— i -O A well-established retail grocery business, situated on a main street in this city, is of- fered for sale by present proprietor, who in- tends to engage in wholesale trade. Busi- ness is well established and has paid well every year. For full particulars inquire at Tue TRADESMAN Office. THE TRADESMAN Office acknowledges the receipt of a box of Hecker’s prepared foods through the courtesy of Robert M. Floyd, the general Western iianager of the house. Asa result of the presentation, the average weight of the office force has in- creased to such an extent that the tailor has received several new commissions. COUNTRY PRODUCE.
