EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE.

Their Relations Defined by a Veteran
Merchant.
From the American Merchant.

You say you have had trouble with one
of your clerks; that you were obliged to dis-
charge him; the. he threatens to sue you,
and therefore you would like to have me
talk about employers 4nd employees, their
respective rights, ete. Very well; but by
way of introduction, allow me to remark
that Pll wager you a silver dollar that you
are in the wrong. You business men, young
and old, have a playful way of acting first
and consulting your lawyer afterward, and
then expect your legal adviser to unravel in
sixty minutes a snarl that has taken you
sixty days to tangle up.

First, let us ask ourselves; What is a con-
tract of employment?

A contract of employment is a contract
by the terms of which one person called the
employer, secures from another called the
employee a promise to do or perform a cer-
tain thing or things for hire. The thing to
be done may be for the benefit of the em-
ployer or of some third party. The contract
may be verbal or in writing, or it may be
implied by the silent consent of the person
benefitted, he accepting the services and
treating the individual rendering them as
his employee. The law requires both par-
ties to conform strictly to the terms of the
contract, and if the contract be silent on
important points, then the ‘‘usages of the
place” .must be followed. On his side an
employee must always do his best for the
interest of his employer, and the latter has
no right to ask performance when it is im-
possible, unlawful or utterly unreasonable
and would result in changing the scope and
nature of the contract.

As to what constitutes a ‘reasonable
day’s work,” that would bea question of fact
for a jury to determine.

The law imposes upon the employer a
really grave responsibility. Not only must
he be a merciful task master and not require
the ‘‘making of bricks without any straw,”
but he must see to it that no harm comes to
his employee’s life or limb through any
carelessness or negligence on his part, such
as failing to repair defective Machinery, per-
mitting dangerous pits or holes to remain
uncovereé. or allowing the presence of un-
skiif-] <a incompetent employees who
sight cause injury to come upon the oth-
ers.

More than this, the employer becomes re-
sponsible to third parties, that is, to stran-
gers, for all damage resulting from the care-
lessness and negligence of his employees
when engaged in the performance of their
regular duties. For instance, if your clerk
in his haste to deliver,a package ata cus-
tomer’s residence, drives over my little boy,
you must pay all damages awarded, unless,
mark you, it can be shown that your clerk
‘willfully and maliciously” did the deed.
Then you would be excused from liability,
or, of course, it might be shown that my lit-
tle boy, if I had one, was guilty of contrib-
utory negligence by playing in the middle of
the highway.

Now, this contract once made, let us con-
sider how it can be unmade.

1. It may end by its own terms; 2. The
employer may die or become insane; 3.
The work for which the contract was made
may have become completed; 4. By the
mutual consent of the two parties; 5, and
this is generally the rock that employers
split on, it may be terminated at any mo-
ment for ‘‘legal cause,” and 6th and last
the employee has a right to end an employ-
ment for “‘legal cause,” such as failure on
the part of the employer to perform his side
of the contract or the doing of any illegal
act, such as assault or slander, or the re-
quiring anf-illegal act to be done, such as
going to seain an unsound vessel, working
in a dangerous factory, etc. Unless you can
show that your employee has done some act
or thing which, had you known of it before
the hiring, would have deterred you from
making the contract with him, you have no
right to discharge. The ‘‘cause” must be
genuine, and be so proven, to be accepted
by a court of justice; it may not be a mere
whim or notion, or act of spite, or anger
for some petty offense, fault or occasional
neglect or oversight on the part of the em-
ployee. And if discharged without egal
cause,” the contract continues in full force
and effect until the expiration by its own
terms. The law doesn’t care whether you
fill the place or not, you are held bounden
by the terms of the contract. No, he is not
required to present himself every day and
offer to perform his duty. All that the law
experts him to do is to use reasonable dili-
gence in trying to find other employment.
Of course, if he succeeds, that releases you
to the amount of wages he may earn. If
he makes up all he would be entitled to un-
der the contract with you, why, of course,
you would have nothing to pay. If he fails
to find employment at all, then you must
pay for his idleness. ‘‘Hard,” you say? 1
thought so. I was morally certain that you
had discharged that young man unlawfully.
You hired him for a year, did you? Accept
my congratulations; nine months at $40 a

month makes $360. Pretty dear experience!

 

You are going to turn nihilist, are you?
Calm yourself. Vl try to effect a comprom-
ise for you; only don’t let it occur again.
Of course, I need hardly tell you that where
a hiring is by the month or a year, and you
allow the employee to enter upon a new
term, you will then be bound for its entire-
ty, and the salary remains unchanged. If
you employ a clerk for a month, and should
have good cause to dismiss him, the law
will not require you to pay any wages un-
less a full month’s pay be due him. How-
ever, custom has softened this harsh provis-
ion, and-employers are wont—unless in
flagrant cases of misconduct—to pay pretty
fairly for work actually done.

Yes, you’re right; courts are inclined to
sympathize with the employee, at least,
juries are, and I would advise you always
to make fair settlements, and in case any
bad feelings have been aroused have the set-
tlement reduced to writing, or else make
the final arrangement in the presence of one
or two reliable witnesses. Receipts? Oh,
they are good enough so far as they go, but
they don’t go very far when a man comes
into court and swears that his signature was
procured by fraud or deceit. At any rate,
one cannot be too careful in settling with
working men, for their illiteracy is a pow-
erful weapon which they hold over you,
enabling them, as it does, to claim that you
procured them to sign a paper the contents
of which they knew nothing about.

No, I don’t sneer at receipts; my only ob-
ject is to disabuse your mind of the current
fallacy that a receipt is a ‘‘knock down and
drag-out” argument. There is a peculiarity
about receipts to which I desire to direct at-
tention. A receipt does not come within
the general rule that ‘‘no oral evidence can
be received to vary the conditions and pro-
visions of a written contract.” Oral evi-
dence is permissable, not only to explain
how it was procured, but to contradict it
absolutely. In other words, a receipt is
merely prima-facie evidence of the pay-
ment of money and may be rebutted in the
same manner as if the fact of the payment
only rested upon oral evidence. Continue
to take recepts by all means. A man who
goes into court with his books and papers
in first-class order gets the good-will of a
jury from the start. The young business
man who keeps his accounts in chalk ona
door or partition may succeed in life, but
the chances ae against him.

The Commercial Traveler from a Humor-
ous Standpoint.

At the recent annual convention of the
Missouri State Pharmaceutical Association,
an address was delivered by Dan Y. Wheeler
on the commercial traveler, in the course of
which he said: }

“The Knights of the Grip” Imve become a
great power in the land, and unlike the
Knights of Labor they never presume to dic-
tate to any one and they never strike, but
are content to travel peacefully around the
country taking orders for goods and draw-
ing their salaries—always looking for an in-
crease of the same the first of the year—and
although often disappointed they still hope
on. The commercial traveler is a human
‘“‘sensitive;” treat him kindly and tenderly
and give him good orders and he blossoms
out and becomes a ‘‘thing of beauty anda
joy forever.” But treat him harshly and
refuse him your trade, and he droops, is
called in by his house, and like ‘‘the lovely
companions of the late rose of summer,” he
fades and is gone.

Theaverage traveler, like Artemus Ward’s
Kangaroo, is an *‘Amoozin Cuss,” and is
full of fun, jokes and good stories; and al-
though it often happens after telling a brand
new joke to a customer and at which he
laughs heartily, and then with base ingrati-
tude cries out ‘‘Chestnuts!” he forgives him
even that if he will give him a good order.
He is generous even to a fault. During the
heavy snow storms of last winter over forty
travelers were snowed in a large town in
Minnesota. Sunday came and the boys de-
cided to attend chuich in a body. They
marched in in solemn procession and took
seats in the center of the church. The min-
ister during his sermon took occasion to re-
flect somewhat harshly on C. T.’s as a class.
After the sermon, a collection was taken
up and the sisters and brothers put in their
dimes and nickles and perhaps some but-
tons, but when the plate came to the travel-
ers, each one put in a large, bright, shining
dollar. The plate was returned loaded with
coin, and the minister, after looking at the
unexpected donation, exclaimed, ‘‘God bless
the traveling men.”

You should all sympthathize with the new
drummer his first year on the road. In the
first year he forms habits which make or
unmake him for all future time. It is the
most critical period of his career. He should
be instructed by some experienced friend of
the numerous pitfalls that surround his
pathway. ‘How well can I remember my
first trip, my first town and my first cus-
tomer, and with what a faltering voice I
asked, ‘‘Is the proprietor in?” And with
what an awful sickening sensation of the
heart I received the cheerful (?) announce-
ment, ‘‘Very sorry, young man, but just
gave a large order to ‘Jack Oldtimer yester-
day.’ Oh, how I longed to be an old timer.”

 

COLORED SALESMEN.

The Black Man Beginning to Turn to Mer-
cantile Pursuits.
From the New York Times. ‘

It isn’t going to be many a day before
New York stores will support colored sales-
men. The black mgn in the metropolis has
never ventured far toward getting a foot-
hold in mereantile circles, but there are in-
dications that point to the turning of his at-
tention in that direction. An instance il-
lustrating this came to my notice yesterday,
It shows a black man’s capacity, and, too,
it shows that he may command a custom of
his own that storekeepers find profit in.

A gentleman who owns a big clothing
store was applied to by a young negro man
last month for employment. There was a
good deal of ambition in the young fellow,
for he asked tor a clerkship. He had a fair
education, was quick at figures, and was
blessed with a tongue that knew no halting.
He didn’t get the post of salesman that he
wanted, but was hired to play the part of
general utility man in the establishment at
six dollars a week. He did up bundles, ran
errands, swept the floors—did general men-
ial service. But he didn’t complain. One
day, three or four weeks ago, he approach-
ed the proprietor with a new proposition.

“T suppose,” said he, ‘‘that you’ve got no
objection to my drumming up a little trade.”
The merchant smiled, perhaps a little sar-
eastically, and assured the young man that
he might drum to his heart’s content. ‘‘And
what’s the commission?” quoth the very
business like young man. The proprietor,
amused, named a very liberal percentage.
Before that week was over somebody else
had to be hired to do the errand running and
other things in the general utility line. The
young man had time only to receive his
friends and show them the store’s line of
goods. In a moment he had developed into
a full-blown salesmen. His commissions
on actual sales amounted for the first week
to over thirty dollars. The next week they
were twice that. The proprietor’s eyes
were wider open than ever they dared peep
before. Such push and enterprise, such
sueecess, were amazing from such a source.
But he had made a good bargain and he
sticks to it. Some of the white clerks ob-
jected a little at first, but that sort of pre-
judice is over now, and ex-errand boy bru-
nette has been put ona salary that would
make the heart of many a pale-skinned col-
lege graduate beat a little enviously.

The colored men of New York are organ-
ized in societies where fraternity is a ruling
principle. With his brethren in these socie-
ties was this young clothing clerk’s success;
and there, too, will be the strength and suc-
cess of other live men. in mercantile pur-
suits. It is not much in the line of rashness
to predict that it will be but a short time be-
fore nearly every one of the prominent
mercantile houses will have colored sales-
men.

Gems of Thought.

It is useless to talk about beginning to do
better to-morrow; either begin to-day or say
nothing about it.

We rate ability in men by what they fin-
ish, not by what they attempt.

Never fail to keep your appointments nor
to be punctual to the minute.

Never be idle, but keep your hands or
mind usefully employed.

He that ascends a ladder must take the
lowest round. All who are above were
once below. ;

A good name is your best trademark. It
ean be equalled, but not counterfeited.

Good manners and good morals are sworn
friends and firm allies.

Whatever is coming there is but one way
to meet it—to go straight forward—to bear
what has to be borne, to do what has _ to be
done.

Perfect manners are as much of the char-
acter as patience and honesty; in fact
they seem to belong to the texture of
the wearer’s mind, to be a reflection of the
spirit of justice which would give everybody
his due, withholding no civility or kindli-
ness.

We have certain work to do for our bread
and that is to be done strenuously; other work
to be done for our delight, and that is to be
done heartily; neither is it to be done by
halves or shifts, but with a will, and what
is not worth this effort is not to be done at
all.

Medicated Raisins.

Some genius in England has taken advan-
tage of the aversion of children to taking
medicine, to obtain a patent for medicated
raisins in four different ways—namely as
an aperient, vermifuge, cough remedy and
digestive. These are simply large raisins
impregnated with the medicine in a highly
concentrated form, and covered with an
aromatized syrup dried. A better way, per-
haps, to prepare these would be to dissolve
the active medicinal principles in raspberry
ether, and to inject the raisin with an ac-
curate dose of this ether with a fine hypo-
dermic syringe.

The Boston Advertiser thinks that voices
in Boston are running too much to tenor,
and ascribes the fact to the use of the tele-
phone and high collars.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

In the preparation of a constitution for
the State Association, suggestions were so-
licited from everyone interested in the mat-
ter. Among the responses received was the
following from Smith Barnes, which was
marked ‘‘personal and private,” but which
contains so much solid sense and is so per-
tinent with valuable suggestions that Tne
TRADESMAN takes the liberty of disregard-
ing the writer’s injunction and presenting
the letter for the instruction of the conven-
tion:

DraAn Sir—Thinking it just possible that
in the organization of a State Association
you might care for an intimation of what
seem to me some of the desirable features,
I venture to proffer the following—merely
as suggestions: °

First as to title. Itseems to me that if
this gathering is likely to be repeated, it is
worthy of being put upona broad gauge and
should include others than grocers. Will it
not be well to let it inelude the entire mer-
cantile fraternity, and be known as ‘*The
Mercantile (or Business Men’s) Association
ot the State of Michigan?”

Second, as to its object and aim. Will it
be wise to belittle its uses and influence,
by making it an enlarged ‘‘detective associa-
tion” with that object a primary one in its

place? Is this not too circumscribed an
aim? Should it not be full ‘standard

gauge” and carry with it broad-brained
motives, elevating influences, and ambitious
intentions, such as will lift the profession
of merchandising on to a higher plane?

Third. Its effect would result in abol-
ishing the tendency to indiscriminate credit
and stimulating the selling of merchandise
for ready pay.

Fourth. Shorter hours for doing business
in, and an honest endeavor to educate the
buyer to make his purchases between ¥ a,
m. and 7 or (still better) 6 p. m.

Fifth. Greater care to secure good help-
ers and make and keep them worthy by a
livelier interest in their habits, theirecomforts
and their praiseworthy efforts.

Sixth. The effect resultant from single
and joint associations in promoting kindlier
feeling towards honorable competitors, and
removing the inclination to berate and re-
eriminate our neighbor in trade.

Seventh. To stimulate a desire for more
frequent ‘‘breathing places,” not constant
and continued application; time in which
to improve the mind, care for the body, en-
large the mental capacities and prolong a
life of usefulness.

Eighth. ‘To stimulate a determination to
make the title of ‘‘Merchant” a synonym of
honor, uprightness, fairness, probity, jus-
tice and high morals.

The above are only suggestions.

AE SL NS ES

Tue TRADESMAN acknowledges the re-
ceipt of a complete set of the blanks in use
by the Retail Grocers’ Protective Associa-
tion of Pittsburg; also an invitation to the
second annual trade display and picnic of
the Association, tg be held on October 4.
The former will prove acceptable as a source
of frequent reference. The latter would be
accepted but for urgent engagements which

require the editor’s presence in Michigan.

the convention with their presence have
heretofore tested the hospitality of the
Second City, and those who come to Grand

business constituents. The visitors come
here for the avowed purpose of accomplish-
ing a good work and unless Tur TRADES-
MAN mistakes the sentiment of the business
community one of its brighest laurels will
be the remembrance that Grand Rapids was
the birthplace of the first State mercantile
organization formed in this country.

 

While preparing a draft of a constitution
for the State organization, the editor of THE
TRADESMAN wrote Frank Hamilton for in-
tormation on the subjects of representation
and financial support, receiving the follow-
ing reply:

Regarding representation, I think itshould
be upon a delegated basis on business mat-
ters, but open to any member of an associa-
tion which becomes auxiliary to the State or-
ganization. Beyond that, I should not go.
The object of the Association should be to
enlighten the membership, but each associa-
tion should in the way of ballot be entitled
to a fair representation, based upon member-
ship.

As to the support of the organization, I
hardly know, unless each association be
taxed so much per capita. For the expense
of the present meeting, I think the delegates
will be paid by the body they represent.

 

 

The man who beats his creditors in the
stereotyped manner excites only the disgust
of business men; but the merehant who dis-
covers a new way by which his creditors
may be swindled receives all the credit to
which his discovery entitles him. Jas. R.
Dibble, the Burnip’s Corners merchant,
wrung down the curtain on a new act when
he paid for a farm with a mortgage on his
stock and then moved on the farm with his
family, which made the property a home-
stead, which is exempt from attachment.

 

AMONG THE TRADE.

the proposed figure.

Geo. Metz, Jr.. who was formerly con-
nected with the Cappon & Bertsch Leather

Mo.; and Fork, Pa. The company is now
giving employment to sixty men in the fac-
tory, ten men in the foundry and three men

How Bohemian Glass is Colored.
Henrich Schwarz, in Popular Science Monthly.

The ornamentation of the glass is done
partly in connection with the exposure in
the furnace and partly in the finishing
shops, where the work is completed by cut-
ting, polishing, tarnishing, etching, paint-
ing and mounting in metal. The glass-
houses have at their command a very com-
plete color-scale for transparent, opaque
and clouded glasses. But it must not be
supposed that a crucible is placed in the
furnace for each color, from which glass
colored for each ornament is to be made.
The colors are worked out by means of what
are called pastes, which are kept on hand
in sticks or cakes. From pieces of these
pastes previously warmed till they are soft,
suitable quantities are cut off, laid upon the
foundation of white or colored glass, and
then spread out by drawing or blowing. By
this means only is an economical use of
such costly material as gold and silver com-
position possible. Some of the glasses thus
treated—gold, copper and silver glasses—
remain still little, or not at all colored after
the melting, shaping and quick cooling, and
do not take on their bright hues until they
are reheated. This is the case with the new
yellow-silver glass, which continues uncol- |
ored after the inter-melting of the silver
salt, until it is exposed in the furnace again.
Very fine effects are produced by blending
or over-running of the paste-colors.

“Artificial” Quinine.
From the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

London has enjoyed a breathing spell
since the flurry over the discovery of ‘‘arti-
ficial” quinine, and no important develop-
ments or further evidence of the genuineness
of the discovery, have come to light. It is
said that a syndicate is being formed to
purchase from the inventor his process for
manufacturing the article. Very little be-
lief is entertained in the declaration that
the new product is equal to quinine; and so
far as New Yorkers are concerned, they are
too busy to discuss such an improbable re-
sult of a chemist’s work.

Probably the inventor is following in the
footsteps of a French chemist who claimed
in 1882 that he had discovered a synthetical
process of making quinine, and was so con-
fident about it that he submitted samples of
the preparation to the Academy of Sciences
for examination. It was thererevealed to the
astonished specialist that his so-called sul-
phate of quinine was nothing more or less
than sulphate of ammonia.

The Drug Market.

Opium still contiues to advance and shel-
lac is still tending upward. Bromide of
potash has been reduced in price by the do-
mestic manufacturers and citric acid is eas-
jer. Quicksilver has advanced and dragon’s
blood is also higher. The balsams are all
yery firm with higher prices asked for Peru
and tolu. Cubeb berries are lower, oil anise
and wintergreen have advanced and cara-
way seed is going up. Leading dealers ex-
hibit a bouyant feeling which undoubtedly
presages the advent of better times.

The Michigan State Pharmaceutical As-
sociation will hold its fourth annual meet-
ing in Royal Areanum hall, Grand Rapids,
Oct. 12, 13 and 14, 1886. We hope every
member of the Association will make an ef-
fort to attend this meeting, which promises
to be of more than usual interest. The
fact that it is held in Grand Rapids—the
convention city—gives ample assurance of
the hearty welcome we will receive.

We invite all druggists in the State who
are not members to join us. It will pay
you to do so, because:

We are an association of druggists exelu-
sively and interest ourselves only in the
drug trade.

All matters relating to the craft are dis-
cussed. Methods of manufacturing and dis-
pensing, tests for strength and purity of
preparations are given.

Valuable papers are read by persons who
have devoted time and study to the consid-
eration of the subjects selected. (See list
of Queries. )

An entire session is devoted to the consid-
eration of trade interests. Regulation of
prices, methods of conducting business, pro-
tection to the trade, ete., will be discussed.

The Association has secured for druggists
the Pharmacy Law; that law can be enfore-
ed only with the help of the drug trade.

Dealers should support it because it pro-
tects them from ignorant competition.

Employes should support it, because it
places a higher value on educated labor.

The exhibit by manufacturers and whole-
salers will be larger than ever before and
will interest every progressive druggist.

Reduced rates on all roads can be obtain-
ed for members and their families and for
those who propose to join at the meeting by
sending to the secretary for a certificate,
which must be signed by agent at starting
point and by the secretary at the meeting.

A special invitation is extended to the
wives of members to accompany their hus-
bands.

1f you are not a member, please fill out
the enclosed blank and send it with the fees
to the Secretary. :

STANLEY E. PARKILL, Secretary.

More Interest in Opium.

From the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

It looked like former times during the
past few days to hear Smyrna opium dis-
cussed on the street corners, and to see the
unusual interest manifested by buyers who
had neglected the article for some time.
The increased interest was due to the re-
ceipt of cables by several houses reporting
large buying in London. Foreign letters
were looked up for erop reports to get at the
cause of the movement, but they afforded
no satisfaction, as the crop is reported to be
larger than last year. Then the change was
attributed to a sharp advance in bullion, and
as there seemed to be some stability to the
improvement, home buyers sent out their
orders for forward delivery and found
prices advanced slightly. The mrrket was
not sensitive and operators were not excited
—it merely consisted of a larger movement
to other hands who believed the market had
reached bottom and would soon react. Con-
siderable business is reported for future de-
livery.

A Practical Suggestion.

Robby, age three, complained that his tea,
the regulation milk and water article, was
not to his taste. His mother, by whom he
was seated, said: ‘‘Why, Robby, my tea is
very good.” ‘Suppose we change teas,”
suggested Robby.

BUSINESS LAW.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

 
  
  
 

     
   

         
 
    
 

PUBLIC OFFICER FOR SALARY.

        

Where a public ofiicer was entitled by law
toa fixed salary, but, through no fault of
his own, was for a time prevented by his su-
perior from preforming the duties incum-
bent upon him and earned during that time
the wages of another and different employ-
ment, the New York Court of Appeals held
that in a suit brought to recover his unpaid
salary, the officer need not deduct the wages
so earned.

 

PROVISION AS TO ARBITRATION,

A building contract contained & provision
that disputes with respect to the valne of
extra work, or of work omitted by direction
of the owner, should be determined by ar-
bitration. The owner refused to allow the
contractor to finish the work and let the
work to another. The contractor brought
suit to recover damages for breach of con-
tract, and the Supreme Court of New Jersey
held that the provision regarding arbitration
~ was no bar to the action.

 

 

CONTRACT BY LETTER—ACCEPTANCE.

Where a contract is to be made by cor-
respondence between distant parties, the
writing of a letter or telegram containing a
notice of acceptance is not of itself sufficient
to complete a contract. The act in such
a ease must involve an irrevocable ele-
ment. The letter must be placed in the
mail or the telegram deposited in the office
for transmission and thus placed beyond the
power or control of the sender before the
assent becomes effectual to consummate a
contract, and not then unless the offer is
still standing. So held by the Supreme
Court of Kansas.

 

MUNICIPALITY NUISANCE—USE OF HAND-
SLEDS.

According to the recent decision of Judge
Barnard, of the New York Supreme Court,
the use of a hand-sled upon a street ina
city is not per se a nuisance, nor is it a neg-
ligent act on the part of a municipality to
fail to pass an ordinance against the use of
hand-sleds even if the common council has
the power to do so, nor is it negligent in the
city if it passes the ordinance and it is vio-
lated. The suit was brought by the plain-
tiff to recover damages for injuries received
by being struck and knocked down by a
hand-sled.

 

PARTNERSHIP—SALE OF INTEREST.
One partner in a firm offered to givea
certain sum for the other partner’s interest
in the firm, or to sell his own interest for
the same sum, concluding with the words,
‘the party purchasing to give sufficient se-
curity for the payment of company indebt-
edness and for purchase price.” This offer
was accepted by the other partner ‘‘to sell
on the terms mentioned.” The Michigan
Supreme Court held that there had not been
a complete sale, and that the first offer was
only one of the steps leading toa sale which
contemplated that the parties should meet

and complete the transaction.

Do you have any trouble in Grand Rapids

Then there seems to be a disposition to

nothing is left in them. A few years ago a

Early Closing at Detroit.
From the Detroit Journal.

The grocers who transact business on
Third avenue are now having a little excite-
ment over the early closing movement. A
large proportion seem to think that the
movements of their more aristocratic neigh-
bors on Woodward and other prominent
business thoroughfares have nothing what-
ever to do with them and wish to keep right
along doing business at all hours of the
night, in the old-fashioned way. D. C.
Nichols, whé does business on Third av-
enue, looks at the matter in a different light,
however.

“T think it a shame that we can’t have as
much leisure time as other people,” he said
to-day. ‘I do enough business in the day-
time to have my nights to myself. I have
been to see every grocer on the street and
not one of them would agree to close in the
evening. This thing of keeping open after
night is all nonsense, anyhow. If people
understand that stores are going to close
they will easily find a way to do their shop-
ping earlier. As itis now, a fellow never
knows what hour of the night he will be
able to put up his shutters. I have made
up my mind to one thing, however. Begin-
ning with September 15, I am going to
close eOPy at 6:30 com except on
Saturdays.”

Kalamazoo Retail Grocers’ Association.
KALAMAZOO, Sept. 15, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DreAR Sir—The regular semi-monthly
meeting of the Kalamazoo Retail Grocers’
Association was held at their rooms on Sept.
14, First Vice-President O. K. Buckhout in
the chair. Applications for membership were
received from three grocers, all of whom
were elected.

W. C. Davis made a motion, which was
earried, that a committee be appointed to
visit Mr. Hicks, manager of the Imperial
Tea Store, to induce him join the Associa-
tion. Messrs. Davis and Scheid were ap-
pointed as such committee.

Vice-President O. K. Buckhout appointed
Messrs.. Van DeKreeke, Bochove, McHugh,
Doyle, Davis and Second Vice-President
Hugh Beggs as a committee to call upon all
members of the Association for the purpose
of procuring a perfect list of all dead-beats
and hand to Secretary for publication.

G. VanDeKreeke made a motion that all
grocers close their respective places of bus-
iness at 8 p. m. from October 1 to April 15,
1887. The motion was carried.

J. Schuster moved that the Secretary, M.
S. Scoville, be appointed as delegate to the
State Association, held at Grand Rapids,
Sept. 21. Also all members were given a
cordial invitation to be present.

M. S. ScoviLuex, Sec’y.

The Cranberry Crop at White Fish Point.

Several of the most successful cranberry
growers in the State are located at White
Fish Point, the Northeastern point in the
Upper Peninsula. Inquiries as to the pres-
ent status of this year’s crop were sent out
about a month ago, but answers have only
lately been received from White Fish Point,
as follows:

John Clarke—The cranberry crop is light
this season. I shall probably have 700 to
800 bushels. Last year’s crop was 500
bushels. Berries are better in quality this
year, however.

Alex. Barclay—My cranberry crop is ‘ust
middling and I shall probably harvest 200
bushels, which is about the same as last
year.

Wm. Hawkins—<According to your wishes,
I will give you the present condition of my
cranberry crop. The probable yield will be
100 bushels and last year’s crop was 100
bushels also. The berries this year are
larger than they were last year. The vines
are in a healthy condition. There is no in-
sects troubling them.

“Ought to be Refused Christian Burial.”
Froni the Tekonsha News.

Traveling grocers are again doing the
country. No use to tell the farmers that
they are selling inferior goods, give short
weights and demand high prices, for they
delight to be hoodwinked and bamboozled
by the oily tongued agents who make them
thirk that they have been cheated and de-
frauded by home dealers. A man who will
patronize these traveling hucksters and pay
eash for their adulterated concoctions, when
he owes his grocer at home accounts of six
months’ standing, ought to be refused Chris-
tian burial when he comes to balance his
last acounts.

Necessity for Organization at Fremont.
FREMONT, Sept. 18, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEARSIn—Wehave read with much inter-
est the numerous articles and proceedings of
the business men’s associations given in the
columns of the Turk TRADESMAN. That it
is a grand success, is perfectly evident.
The business men of Fremont need the
benefits of such an association—at least, we
do and-its protection is mutual. We hope
soon to have an organization here.

Sincerely, MERICLE & Hopper.

“Eagle” Coffee Following the Example of
Its Namesake.

Age and standing naturally give Messrs.
Cody, Ball & Co. a commanding position
among the jobbing trade of this market.
Recognizing that such a postion, which has
been acquired by continuous effort, can be
maintained only by the exercise of the great-
est vigilance as to the quality of goods
handled, Messrs. Cody, Ball & Co. have in-
variably striven to secure the best and pur-
est goods to be obtained in the country.
They have always been noted for their aver-
sion to adulterated goods and fictitious la-
bels, and their influence has always been
thrown against inferiority in any depart-
ment of the grocery business.

Realizing the importance of the trade in
package coffees, and the great number of
poor brands now in the market, Messrs.
Cody, Ball & Co. set about experimenting on
the subject, for the purpose of producing a
brand which would be uniform in color,
strength and taste and possess genuine
merit—a brand which would please the pal-
ate of the consumer and tickle the purse of
the dealer. The result of these experiments,
which have been pursued during a period of
several months, is the placing upon the
market of a new brand of package goods,
to be known as ‘‘Eagle” coffee. This brand
is produced by a blending of the best grades
of Rio, Mocha and Java coffees, resulting in
a combination which is uniform in every re-
spect and pronounced by competent judges
to be ahead of any other package goods on
the market. As the aroma of coffee is great-
ly destroyed by roasting, when exposed to
the air, this coffee is roasted in an improved
patent air-tight cylinder, which constantly
revolves, thereby preventing it from scorch-
ing (Which renders coffee bitter), and the
cylinder being air tight, but little of’ the
aroma can escape; and it is impossible for
the gases from the fire to enter the cylinder
and injure the flavor of the coffee, as is the
ease in other roasters. Coffee roasted in
this way will go farther and be better flavored
than that roasted by any other process, and
is consequently cheaper.

Another point of superiority which places
this coffee ahead of its competitors is the
manner in which it is put up. Itis hermet-
ically sealed by a patent process, which pre-
serves the aroma and settles the coffee, thus
saving the cost of eggs to settle.

‘‘Kagle” coffee is put up in 60 and 100
pound boxes, a handsome picture card ac-
companying every package. It sells to the
trade at 4c less than Arbuckle’s coffee,
and is frequently preferred to that brand.
It has been on the market about two months,
but so great has been the demand for the
goods, that Cody, Ball & Co. have frequent-
ly been compelled to delay in filling orders.
Arrangements have now been perfected,
however, by which all orders can be filled
the some day they are received.

Those who have not yet handled ‘‘Eagle”’
coffee should send for asample case with-

out further delay.

The Grocery Market.

Business and collections are both excel-
lent. Sugars are a trifle firmer. Coffees
continue to advance, package goods having
advanced an even cent in the past week.
Other articles in the grocery line are without
change, although a firmer tendency is mani-
fested in many articles.

Candy is active and firm. Nuts are steady.
Few fruits are in market. Oysters are in
good demand and prices are without change.

Final Arrangements for the State Conven-
tion.

A special meeting of the Retail Grocers’
Association, held at Sweet’s Hotel last Fri-
day evening for the purpose of completing
arrangements for the coming convention,
was attended by about twenty-five members.

Applications for membership in the Asso-
ciation were received from the following
grocers, all of whom were elected: Albert
S. Damskey, 190 Fourth street; B. Wynhoff,
127 Butterworth avenue; P. Seally, 181 But-
terworth avenue; Hascher Bros., 79 Straight
street; H. VanderVeen, 196 Logan street.

The Secretary read a number of letters
from business men, announcing their inten-
tion of being present at the convention.

The Committee on Reception was request-
ed to meet at Sweet’s Hotel at 8:30 o’clock
Tuesday morning for the purpose of enter-
ing upon the work of the day.

On motion of A. J. Elliott it was voted to
give clerks the privilege of the banquet on
the purchase of a ticket.

Squires’ band was engaged to furnish
music during the banquet.

Chairman Harris, of the Committee on
Arrangements, reported that $450 had been
subscribed to meet the expenses of the en-
tertainment feature of the convention, of
which sum $430 had been collected.

After afree discussion of the methods
deemed best to welcome the outside trade,
during which it was evident that the visitors
would never have occasion to regret their
participation in the event, the meeting ad-

journed.

Oceana County Presents a Solid Front.

Hanr, Sept. 17, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Sirn—I am happy to say that we
have a full-fledged ‘‘Oceana Business Men’s
Association,” having met last night and or-
ganized the same. Representatives from
Shelby and Pentwater were-in attendance
and heartily joined hands with us. Both
towns would have been with us in full force
but for a heavy rain.

The meeting called to order by your cor-
respondent, whereupon W. J. Haughey was
called to the chair and E. S. Houghtaling
was asked to serve as secretary pro tem.
Manton’s Business Men’s Association rules
and by-laws were read and adopted, with
the necessary changes. Article 2 of the by-
laws, relating to the election of new mem-
bers, was amended so as to read: ‘*Pro-
vided that he or they be proposed by a mem-
ber ata regular meeting and elected by a
two-third vote of the members present.

Permanent officers were elected as fol-
lows:

President—W. E. Thorp, Hart.

Vice-President—Alex. Paton, Shelby.

Secretary—E. S. Houghtaling, Tart.

Treasurer—H. H. Bunyea, Pentwater.

executive Committee—Two from each
town.

Our regular meetings oceur on the first
Tuesday of each month and will be held al-
ternately at each place.

Mr. Thorp and Mr. Paton will probably be
with you on the 21st, and perhaps the writ-
er. Now ‘‘D. B’s.,” beware.

Yours truly,

to be present at your convention, as I
may not be able to get to your city un-
til Monday night and do not want to sleep
in the street. If your committee has ar-
ranged matters for those intending to come,
I do not want to disappoint them, as noth-
ing but death or sickness will prevent my
coming. Iintend, if I can get away, to be
with you as early as possible.

inability to be present, but desire to go on
record as saying that dead-beats ought to be

Failure of J. R. Dibble, of Burnip’s Corners.

Jas. R. Dibble, the Burnip’s Corners gen-
eral dealer, is a dandy, He has managed
to secure $17,000 worth of goods on credit
and he has now only $8,000 worth of stock
and $1,000 in accounts left for the creditors
—and even then he asks the creditors to
pay for a $2,000 farm, in order that he may
spend the remainder of his days in the sim-
plicity of rural life.

When Mr. Dibble burned out several
months ago, his creditors expected he would
ask them to compromise their claims. But
not so. James had bigger game in view.
He paid every account in full, which enabled
him to resume business with the utmost
confidence of his creditors. He built a new
store—in his wife’s name—and laidina new
stock which for variety and completeness had
few equals in the State. When the bills
came due, he readily secured extensions, and
kept on buying of everyone who expressed
a desire to extend him credit. The result
is that he has seeured about $17,000 worth
of goods, as above stated, while nearly all
the cash obtained from the sale of the goods
has been shoved down his pocket or put in
some other convenient place. On August
28, Dibble bought a forty aere farm of the Al-
legan agents for the property, giving them
in payment therefor a $2,000 mortgage on
the stock. The mortgage was not put on
record, however, until September 10, which
enabled Dibble to secure several thousand
dollars worth of goods, notably $1,800
worth from Young, Smith & Field, of Phila-
delphia, and $1,500 from J. J. Bailey & Co.,
of the same market. As soon as the news
of the filing of the mortgage reached Grand
Rapids, creditors began turning their faeces
toward Burnip’s Corners, the result being
the filing of the following mortgages in
quick suecession:
Tr & Hart, Allegan.. aoa

Arthur Meigs & Co. 233 00
LC. 4 anchsmut, Chicago 541 00

The stoek, which inventoried at the figure
above given, is said to be singularly bright
and clean, and to contain no dead stock.
Arrangements are being made by the first
five secured creditors to foreclose the Olney,
Shields & Co. mortgage, which will prob-
ably enable them to realize their claims in
full. The other creditors will probably re-
ceive a proposition for a percentage settle-
ment from Dibble.

Detroit Doings.

The Detroit Patent Brush Co. just
gotten out a new thing in the way of a
sponge dauber, which has been designated
the ‘Shine ’Em Up.” The device meets
with the hearty appreciation of the trade
and is evidently destined to reach a large
sale. The same concern has lately gotten
out a new line of horse and serub brushes,
made of palmetto fiber.

L. D. Harris, of the firm of Harris &
Marvin, paper dealers on Jefferson avenue,
states that the firm will transfer its stock
and business to Grand Rapids about October
15, oecupying the north store in the Barn-
hart block on North Ionia street.

George S. Davis, of Parke, Davis & Co.,
asserts that he has not authorized the use of
his name, is not a candidate for and would
not accept, under any circumstances, the
nomination to Congress.

Pingree & Smith has begun suit in the
Wayne Cireuit Court against the Detroit,
Lansing & Northern Railway, claiming
$2,000 damages for the loss of twenty-one
cases of boots and shoes, while en route
from Detroit to Edmore.

J. M. Thurber, D. €. DeLamater and
David Adams have been admitted to part-
nership in the hardware house of Buhl Sons
& Co. The firm name remains the same as
before.

Matthew R. Mathewson and James H.
Rudell entered into partnership under the
firm name of J. H. Rudell & Mathewson,
April 1, 1885, to conduct the business of
merchandise brokers and commission mer-
chants. The partnership was renewed April
, 1886, and still exists, but Mathewson has
filed a bill in the Cireuit Court complaining
that since August 1 Rudell has paid no at-
tention to business and has become an ex-
cessive drinker, and as a result the business
has become involved and the firm is in debt.
He asks that the partnership be dissolved, a
receiver be appointed, and that Rudell be re-
strained from interfering with the business

or handling the firm funds.

Will Make on Exhibit at the Fair.

Ed. Telfer, proprietor of the Ottawa
street coffee and spice house, will make an
extensive exhibit of goods in his line at the
West Michigan fair this week, which will
be an attractive feature to every visitor and
especially to the trade. The exhibit will in-
clude every variety of crude spice known to
the trade, side by side of which will be ar-
ranged the manufactured article. Full lines
of coffees and. baking powders will also be
shown and warm coffee and biscuits made
from the baking powder will be furnished
all visitors. Mr. Telfer’s goods have already
secured a wide reputation and the exhibit
this week will probably augment their sale
very considerably.

Robt. M. Floyd came in from Chicago
Monday afternoon and will stay as long as
there is any opportunity of making himself
useful. He has prepared an article on the
“Origin of the word Grocer,” andan address
on ‘‘Retail Grocers’ Associations, Dead-

3eats and Fvod Adulteratiors,” either of
which will be well worth a visit to Grand
Rapids to hear.
