THE MIGRATION OF THE OYSTER.
Written Expressly for THe TRADESMAN.

If the reader infers, from the caption of
this article, that he is about to read a fairy
tale, based upon some ancient mythological
conceit, he is wrong. For the oyster has no
propelling power whatsoever, and, there-
fore, must needs lie calmly in its little bed
from the time it settles, a ‘‘protoplasmic
globule,” therein until disturbed by man or
other of its natural enemies. Yet it- would
seem to be a thing of motion, if the vora-
ciousness with which man—its greatest en-
emy—follows and preys upon it were any
sign. And ‘‘thereby hangs a tale.”

Forty years ago the inhabitants of the town
of Fair Haven, Conn., began the industry
of oyster packing. In its incipiency the
methods were very crude. The business
was commenced by men who would open the
oysters, and, placing them ina ‘‘push-cart,”
transport them to the outlaying hamlets of
the surrounding country forsale. These en-
terprising individuals would also be present
at all publie gatherings, such as ‘‘training
days” and ‘‘court sittings,” and in their ‘‘hot
oyster tents” display their wares to tempt the
palates of those who were inclined to taste
them. From this the business gradually in-
creased in proportions until the shipments
reached as far West as Albany, N. Y., which,
in those days of slow trains, was considered
the maximum of limit for transportation.
By this time, however, the entire town of
Fair Haven had become a great oyster house.
Every family, from the richest to the poor-
est, and every member of each family, opened
oysters for a living. The mother would
rock the cradle with her foot while she
wielded the hammer and knife with her
hands, and these were only laid aside for the
necessary household duties which devolved
upon her. The opening was done in a cel-
lar, with which each house was purposely
provided, and the supply for the day’s work
was brought to the house each morning by
the dealer, and in the evening he would re-
turn with his push-cart and gather up the
shucked oysters for shipment, giving the
‘“‘shucker” proper credit for the same, to be
paid at the end of the week. Inthose days,
it was no uncommon thing for the ‘tyoung
lady of the house” to wash her hands clean
from the oyster mud and repair to the parlor,
where the professor awaited her attention
at tie piano for instruction in the divine art,
and it is more than likely that the professor
had filled in odd hours with the same oecu-
pation from which his pupil had so lately
come. Of course, with years came greater
facilities for transportation, and, subsequent-
ly, a more extended trade, which grew so
rapidly as to completely exhaust the beds of
the Quinnipiae River, and it beeame neces-
sary to seek a source of supply richer in re-
sults. The Chesapeake Bay became that
source, and from its waters thousands of
bushels of oysters were transported in the
season to Fair Haven. This continued until
some fertile mind among the dealers con-
ceived the idea of bringing the industry to
the source of supply, instead of carrying the
supply to the industry. The pioneers in
this movement located themselves in Balti-
more, Md., where they reaped a rich harvest
of dollars and cents as the reward for their
enterprise, and thus was consummated Mi-
gration Number One.

The history of the business in Baltimore
is extremely interesting. It was here that
the process of hermetically sealing the oys-
ter was first begun. The plant necessary
for the business at that time consisted of a
large wash-boiler over a wood fire. As the
‘“‘time” necessary to the proper sealing of a
can of oysters is at least six hoursin water,
and as it is more than likely that, as at best
the process was a matter of guess work at
that time, the processor gave them more than
sufficient time, some idea can be formed as
to what constituted a day’s work. Itissafe
to say that if that day’s work consisted of
ten or fifteen dozen cans it was well done.
But, then, what a profit that was to the for-
tunate packer. Ten dozen at four dollars
per dozen was not a bad profit for one day’s
work! The man who held the secret of pro-
cessing them got a royalty of one dollar per
dozen. Now one may buy a dozen eans of
cove oysters for sixty cents—cuns and all!
Yes, the secret of ‘‘sealing,” as it was called
at that time, was a very precious one to the
possessor. He would go into his littleroom
in the morning, prepared for his work, and
no one was allowed to gaze upon the inside of
that sanctuary for love ormoney. The cans
to be treated were passed to him through a
sliding trap, and were passed out again in
the same mysterious manner. No hermit
alchemist, seeking the secret of the trans-
mutation of metals into gold, or for the elix-
ir of life, could have been more careful in
guarding his secret machinations. And this
was the extent of the business done. It was
not thought possible to ship fresh or raw
oysters out of the State.

Then there came among that happy mon-
opolist, the Fair Haven packer, who pitched
his tent and began the ravages upon the bi-
valves. He began by shipping them away
out to Wheeling, and there they were met
by the peddlers, who carried them over the
country to Pittsburg and other small towns
through the country. A man who is worth
his millious to-day, was one of these ped-

 

dlers. Yes, thirty years ago the oyster in-
dustry in the city of Baltimore was so infin-

tion as of any statistical value.
ing, for which the city was then universally
famous, held high sway; and along the

the chop of the hewers’ ax and the sound of
the caulker’s hammer kept up a rythmical
clack which was sweet music to the ears of
the mechanical and laboring classes, as it
told of the dollars and cents that were to
pay for the good?Sunday dinner and the fol-
lowing week’s repasts. In this every Bal-
timorean felt a just “pride, and municipal
and State legisiation vied in the enactment
of such laws as would keep this industry
confined within the limits of the State. Bal-
timore had a corner in ship-building only
because of her skilled labor and the induce-
ments she held out to that skilled labor to
live—not exist—within her boundaries.
There, unlike any other coast city of equal
size, the poor man could surround himself
with home comforts. He had his little
house to himself—not a dingy apartment
in a filthy tenement house—and in that he
could place all these comforts as far as his
means would allow, and, together with his
family, enjoy them. But gradually this in-
dustry, which was a source of so much com-
fort, went away from Baltimore. Any of
the old ship-builders will give you as many
causes for it as there are ship-builders; each
to his own coneeit. Yet it. went, and left
behind it hungry mouths and empty hands
which, perforce, must find a filling from
some source. Happily, correlative with its
death, a new industry springs into life. The
clack of the hammer is transferred from the
vessel’s deck to the ‘‘shucking box” and
from the hand of the skilled mechanic to
the hands of matron and maid, youth and
age together. Where before the fathers or
the adult brothers of the families were alone
capable of earning the necessities of life,
now each member of the family might be-
come a ‘‘bread winner.” It is easy to un-
derstand, therefore, how within the bounds
of reason were the figures of the last con-
gressional census that gave to the oyster in-
dustry of the State of Maryland the credit
of feeding 58,000 people!

But does the city of Baltimore and the
State of Maryland appreciate the enormous
income received from this vast industry?
A study of the question would incline one
rather to a negative answer. The city
seems to make laws to hamper its progress;
the State refuses to enact such laws as will
estop the unnecessary depletion of the oys-
ter beds, or to enforce those that are made,
and even private capital is arrayed against it
—by the holding of allavailable water front-
age at exorbitant rentals. Conjointly with
these oppressive influences, the fact appears
more patent year by year, that the Bay
is being depleted by constant and indis-
criminate dredging, and that the entire
cessation of supply is only a matter of time.

When we stop to think that there are up-
wards of seventeen million bushels of oys-
ters taken from the Bay .every season, the
question that presents itself to us is: how
long ean it yield to such an enormous de-
mand? The best authorities estimate that
in ten years, if not completely exhausted,
the Bay will yield so sparcely that the cost
of the oysters will practically stop the busi-
ness.

 

Of course this opinion is predicted
upon the hypothesis that the laws for the
protection of the beds are no better enforced
than they are at this time. Upon this pre-
sumption if would be a very unbusiness like
venture for any new capital to seek invest-
ment in the business in this locality, and
those who have already invested are natur-
ally looking about them for
source of supply.

‘Already the movement has begun to go
Southward. From Virginia to Texas pack-
ing houses are springing into existence. In
Florida there are many houses that are pack-
ing cove oysters and successfully competing
with Baltimore. In Mississippi there are
houses that are shipplIng fresh oysters into
the heart of the West, and such goods as, if
properly handled, wiil in time compete sue-
cessfully with Baltimore.

Looking these facts squarely in the face,
it is fair to say that unless the State of
Maryland uses every endeavor to protect
the beds of the Chesapeake Bay from indis-
criminate dredging, which amounts almost
to vandalism, by every possible means, Mi-
gration Number Two ‘is in the near future,
and Baltimore will again lose its greatest
and most luerative industry.

Flavoring Extracts.
Flavoring extracts are, or rather ought to
ibe, alcoholic extracts of fruit flavors. They
were first made by the Moors of Granada
and have been in limited use in Europe for
many centuries. In this country the first
reference to them is found in New York
city, where an oilman named Perkins; in
1818, put up and sold an extract of lemon.
Preston’s extract of lemon and lemonade
substitute appeared in 1834-35. Since that
time extract manufacturers have started in
every city. The most popular are those of
vanilla, ginger and lemon. In less demand
are those of apricot, peach, pineapple, al-

mond, rose, orange, wintergreen, cloves,
nutmeg, celery, cinnamon, nectarine, cher-
rt, raspberry and banana. Two-thirds of
extracts are made from i:fcrior materials,
are adulterated, or are imitations of the real
articles. It is difficult to detect inferior
materials, when skillfully employed. When,
for example, the alcohol is French spirits of
high wines and is diluted down to the last
limit, it will still hold the flavor in solution,
and it is hard to practically distinguish from
fine spirits of greater strength. A delicate
nostril and palate can detect the difference
by throwing equal quantities of the suspect-
ed and of a first-class article into goblets
and slowly pouring into them equal amounts
of water, but in small quantities at a time.
The weaker spirits cloyd and become milky
before the strong, the latterabsorbing water
until the limit is reached. With equal quan-
tities of water beyond this point, the stron-
ger and better extract is cloudier and milkie1
than the weak. When the eon-
tain over 95 per cent. of water and less than
five of extract, the good article has a dis-
tinct taste and smell, while the weak is in-

These ethers are frequently of great
strength, a single drop suffieing to give odor
and flavor to a gallon of fluid. The are di-
vided into two classes, one, the oxides of al-
cohol radicals, and the other, compounds of
these ethers and alcohols with organie and
inorganic acids. Of the first class, butyrie
ether (artificial oil of banana) is a good in-
stance, and of the seeond, nitruous ether.
A third class of imitants and adulterants
consists of unstable radicals made from sta-
ble vegetable compounds. Of these vanilla,
or artificial vanilla, is the best illustration.
These ‘‘compound ethers” are dangerous
ground to venture upon. Many of them un-
der the influence of sunlight or other causes,
break down into lower compounds, of which
one Or more members are poisonous. Many
again are powerful medicaments per se
Nitrous ether has long been used as a medi-
eine. Nitrite of amyl is an imtense and
dangerous anesthetic. The trouble is, that
while these ethers are all well-known chemi-
cally, they have not yet been investigated
by the pharmacist and physician. A good
extract will keep unimpaired for years, if
kept securely bottled in a cool, dark place.
Access of air causes rapid evaporation and

Sunlight has a singular effect upon many

Chocolate.
From the Contectioners’ Journal.

Chocolate is one of the artieles of tradé
most susceptible of adulteration, since a
very small quantity of the eoeoa bean im-
parts taste and perfume to a mixture of
tasteless and not always harmless matter.
Unserupulous manufacturers (and especial-
ly is this applicable to the small producer)
introduce into the flour, ground
corn and beans, stale coffee grounds, veal
or mutton tallow (to supply the necessary
oily substance) and the dregs of ground nuts
(peanuts) after the cil has been completely
extracted. The latter substanee, which a
few years ago was employed as a fertilizer,
and occasionally made into egkes as food
food for dogs, is now profitably converted
into chocolate. Add to the above ingre-
dients cocoa shells and ground brick, the
latter to give weight, and the component
parts of cheap chocolate are given. Choco-
late manufacturers admit, with refreshing
artlessness, that adulterated chocolate is
very little used in France, but is profitably
exported. It is difficult to distinguish good
chocolate from fabricated, from the appear-
ance of the tablets. Good chocolate pos-
sesses the following qualities: it is oily, pos-
sessing a full and undeniable flavor of cocoa,
breaks regular and smooth, it is slightly
yellowish in color, with erystalline appear-
ance, and when cooked with a little water
or milk becomes only moderately thick.
Adulterated chocolate, on the contrary,
breaks irregularly, is somewhat gravelly
and porous, is whitish in color, thickens
considerably in cooking, and gives forth an
ordor resembling that of glue.

MOVING ON.

The organization of the Michigan Busi-
ness Men’s Association seems to have given
the work of organization a tremendous
impetus in this State. As will be seen
in another part of this week’s paper,
Cadillac is now united on questions of vital
interest to the business public and Hastings
and Sparta will undoubtedly be in posession
of strong organizations before the end of
the present week. Ada proposes to follow
in the same foot-steps the week following.
The rapidity with which unorganized
places are swinging into line speaks well
for the future of the movement and presages
a time when every community in the State
will boast its local organization.

Between now and the next meeting of the
State Association, which will be held in this
city next March, much work remains to be
done. The present form of constitution, al-
though far in advance of that used in other
States, is susceptible of still further im-
provement. This mustcome by way of sug-
gestions from those who are aware of erudi-
ties in the present form and are able to sug-
gest amendments. The desirability of cer-
tain uniformity in constitutions will be
readily apparent and any move looking
toward that direction is worthy of com-
mendation.

Another thing which is entitled to the
best thought of friends of organization is
the improvement of the collection depart-
ment. ‘This feature is a valuable adjunct to
every association, and while the Michigan
organizations are a long waysahead of those
in other states, there is still room for im-
provement in the way of more uniformity
and less aggressiveness.

The columns of THE TRADESMAN are
open at any and all times to the exposition
of opinions or suggestions from the friends
of organization and the editor trusts that
even more general use may be made of the
medium in the future than has been the
ease in the past.

 

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

The Northwestern Lumberman, which is
considered an authority on things other
than the lumber business, thus pays its
respects to this journal:

That excellent paper—TnHe MiIcnuIGAN
TRADESMAN—excellent because it is intel-
ligent and independent, with its current
issue complete its third year of publication.
The paper looks prosperous, yet there is
one feature about it that is a little odd when
considered in the light of a custom that is
rather prevalent now-a-days. This last
number of the third year is marked Vol. III.
That isn’t the way it is generally done. A
majority of publishers when they start a
trade paper run the volumns up as fast as
possible, so as to give it the appearance of
an old established publication in the eyes of
ignorant advertisers, you know. Can it be
that friend Stowe is not up to the tricks of
the trade, and is willing that it should be
known that his paper is only three years
old? It really looks that way.

The editor of Tur TRADESMAN is proba-
bly ‘up to snuff” on all species of the}
trickery too frequently resorted to by some
tiade journals; but he prefers to conduct
his paper ina straightforward manner, as
he realizes that the unshaken confidence of
business men is much to be preferred to the
temporary advantage derived through mis-
representation.

Ting TRADESMAN admits that it is only
three years old, but ith as won friends out of
all proportions to its age, and it expects that
a continuance of its present policy—which
recognizes honesty as a guiding star—will
continue to attract and retain friends from
unexpected quarters.

 

 

SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR.

The opening up of a new line of railway
to the Saginaws is not proving the bonanza
to Grand Rapies jobbers which the latter
were lead to expect. Previous to the in-
auguration of the new line, some of the
jarge shippers here were informed that they
would be given the same rates which held
between Detroit and the Saginaws, but
such a condition of affairs has as yet failed
to materialize. The rate now given between
the two Valley Cities is as follows:

in rates is also accompanied by a corres;
ponding disparity in the time required to
get goods to their destination—Detroit hav-
ing the advantage of fully twenty-four hours
shorter time—the advantages attending the
opening of the new road to the Grand Rap-

ids shipper are not apparent.

SLIGHTLY INACCURATE. |

The Howard City Record, under date of |
. . {
October 1, contains the following:

At the meeting of the Michigan Business
Men’s Association at Grand Rapids last)
week it was resolved to ask the next Leg- |
islature to reduce the exemption of wages |
of married men from $25 to $10, as they |
claimed the allowance was too often an in- |
centive to dishonesty.

j

The Record does the Association an in- |

justice in making the above statement.
Such a resolution was introduced at the con-

vention, but was withdrawn before the mat- |

ter was put to a vote.

 

The State of Georgia wants to appear in
the market as a borrower, although she has
repudiated millions of bonds, which were
issued in regular form, and whose proceeds
were used for legitimate objects in the
State. Her Wall Street brokers find it hard
to sell the new bonds without getting them
offered on the New York stock-exchange,
and they have made a request to that effect.
But the governors of the stock-exchange
very properly decided. that until Georgia
made good her record as a State which re-
spects her obligations, she could not enjoy
the facility of having her bonds ‘‘listed.”
This public stigma upon the commonwealth
founded by Oglethorpe and the two found-
ers of Methodism may or may not affect the
the people of that State very much; but it
ought todo so. It means the disapproba-
tion of honest men, and this certainly is due
to a wealthy commonwealth, which will
neither pay its just debts nor allow its cred-
itors to sue in its own courts for payment.
By express law the judiciary of the State is
debarred from pronouncing upon the valid-
ity of the obligation created by the issue of |
those bonds.

IE COST SEE LITO

 

In lieu of addressing the Retail Grocers’
Association of Grand Rapids, as he partially
promised to do on the oceasion of his recent
visit to the city, Mr. J. A. Henry sends
Tue TRADESMAN the admirable paper
which is published on the first page of this
issue. Looking at the matter from this
distance, it would seem that the calamity
foreshadowed by the writer as the result of
the short-sighted policy now pursued by
the people of Baltimore and Maryland
would awaken the powers that be to the
necessity for prompt action.

ST ES

The offense alleged to have been com-
mitted against the Michigan State Pharma-
ceutical Association by Jas. A. Bassett is
likely to call down upon his head the de-
served contempt of every druggist in the
State; and the Association will be derelict
in its duty if it fails to expell him from the
body in disgrace. A man who allows his
enmity toward a competing house to get the
better of his judgment in such a way as to
bring an honorable Association into disre- |
pute should be denied the privilege of asso- |
ciating with decent people.

SS COTY 28 OLA

 

Michigan has more local business men’s
associations than any other State in the Un-
ion. Michigan is organizing new local asso-
ciations faster than any other State in the
Union. Michigan is the first State in the
Union to organize a State Association.
Michigan proposes to maintain the suprem-
acy she has achieved in this respect.

 

 

 

Both jobbers and retailers seem to be ‘‘at
sea” on the oleomargarine law and numer-
ous prosecutions are likely to result from ig-
norance of the matter.

 

AMONG THE TRADE.

GRAND RAPIDS GOSSIP.
Walter H. Hughes succeeds Collins &
Ilughes in the manufacture of mattresses.

C. C. Davidson succeeds R. R. Robinson
in the meat business at 55 West Bridge
street.

 

Carman & Childs have engaged in the
grocery business at Rolland. Arthur Meigs
& Co. furnished the stock.

Huizenga & Son have engaged in the gro-
cery business at Eastmanville. Bulkley,
Lemon & Hoops furnished the stock.

C. R. Shears has engaged in the confec-
tionery and furnishing goods business on
Plainfield avenue. S. A. Welling furnished
the furnishing goods.

Harry Perkins and Walter
formed a copartnership under the firm name
of Perkins & McBrien and engaged in the
grocery brokerage business.

 

 

S. H. Jenks and Henry Ives have formed
a copartnership under the firm name of
Jenks & Ives and engaged in the manutac-
ture of engines, brass and iron castings and
general repair business at 258 Canal street.

 

Thos. Hanlon, who engaged in the gro-
cery business at 300 South Division street,
about a year ago, has succumbed to the in-
evitable and turned his stock over to A. 8.
Musselman & Co. on a bill of sale for $588.

The Grand Rapids Soap Co. expects to be
engaged in the manufacture of soap by
December 15. Three brands will be made
at the start—‘‘Headlight,” a ten cent bar;
“Daisy,” a five cent cake; and ‘‘Complec-
tion,” a toilet article.

 

Christian Bertsch and Frederick Krekel,
of the firm of Rindge, Bertsch & Co., have
purchased the vacant lot just west of the |
firni’s wholesale store, on Pearl street, and |

McBrien have

disappear through the floor or some other
convenient outlet—has been sold by the
mortgage owners to O. F. & W. P. Conk-
lin, who have removed it to their place of
business at Ravenna. ‘The first five mort-
gage creditors will get their elaims nearly
in full, while $10,000 worth of unsecured
creditors are left out in the cold.

 

The Grand Rapids grocery jobbers are
considering the advisability of joining hands
in the establishment of a spice and coffee
house, to be inaugurated on a stock com-
pany basis, each firm to take a pro rata

‘}amount of stock and handle the goods of

the company. The project has as yet gone
no further than talk, but as all the jobbers
appear to favor the undertaking it is not
unlikely that it will be carried into execu-
tion.

When M. J. Bond purchased the Fred. F.
Taylor timber and mills at Wood Lake for
upwards of a hundred thousand dollars,
many business men predicted that he would
come out the ‘‘small end of the horn.”
Time has proven the wisdom of Mr. Bond’s
course, however, as he has cut about half
the timber himself and nearly closed a sale
for the other half at a figure which will
afford him a net profit of over ten thousand
dollars. Mr. Bond is to be congratulated.

“Yes, I am arranging to leave Grand
Rapids and take up my residence in the
Blue Grass Region of Kentucky,” said Geo.
Holbrook the other day. I suggested that
the region he spoke of was somewhat fa-
mous for corn, whisky and horses, when the
solferino George took exceptions to the
statement. ‘‘The Blue Grass Region is
noted for its corn, horses and women, but
the whisky business has been voted out of
existence by local option. It seems strange
to see a community which is making its liv-
ing by raising corn and making malt vote
away the liquor business, but that is what
is being done right along. The South is a
long ways ahead of us on the temperance
question.”

“Potato shipments are not likely to be-
gin as early as usual,” said T. F. Moseley
the other day. ‘‘I have just returned from
a week’s investigation at Cincinnati and
Louisville, where I was surprised to find
that no potatoes would be wanted much be-
fore spring. The home crop has never been
so good with them as this year and up to
the present time the gardners have been able

to keep the market fully supplied. At
Louisville potatoes were selling at 35 cents,

while at Cincinnati and Indianapolis, they
brought only 30 cents. Heavy handlers at
Cincinnati informed me that not to exceed
three carloads of potatoes had been shipped

A well dressed countryman stopped at the
entrance of the petroleum exchange on lower

, able interest.

A broker on the lookout for commissions
said to him cordially: ‘*Are you in oil, sir?”

“No, mister,” said the countryman movy-

Cadillac Crumbs.

G. A. Dillenbeck hasreturned home, after
a pleasant visit with friends at Portland.

Albert E. Smith has returned from Mani-
towae, Wis., where he has been most of the
time for the past three months, settling up
the estate of his father, of which he is ad-
ministrator.

Fred 8. Kieldson, who formerly carried
on the grocery business here for several
years, has tired of the management of a
stock farm, and will shortly re-embark in
the grocery business.. One report is to the
effect that he will buy out C. R. Smith,
while another rumor credits him as propos-
ing to resume business at his old stand, when
Newark & Sorenson’s lease expires.

Sampson & Drury have recently added a
second lathe to their cant hook factory,
which enables them to turn out 500 handles
daily. The same firm expects to handle 500
dozen axe helves the present season.

The organization of the Cadillac Business
Men’s Assoeiation means the inauguration
of better business methods and a more
thorough understanding on the part of mer-
chants and other business men. Its good
results are already beginning to make them-
selves felt, and other and more important
benefits are sure to follow.

“When I left Cadillac a few years ago,”
said Geo. Holbrook the other day, ‘‘I sup-
posed I was getting away just in the nick
of time. 1 figured that Cadillac had then
reached the flood-tide of prosperity and that
her next move would be a backward one. I
was disappointed in my calculations, how-
ever, and it is no secret to my friends that I
would have been a richer man to-day if I
had been content to remain in Cadillac.”

Evil of Endorsing.

Judge Waldo Brown in Boston Traveler.

I affirm that the system of indorsing is all
wrong and should be utterly abolished. 1
believe that it has been the financial ruin of
more men than, perhaps, all other causes.
I think that our young men especially,
should study the matter carefully in all its
bearings, and adopt some settled policy to
govern their conduct, so as to be ready to
answer the man who asks them to sign his
note. What responsibility does one assume
when he endorses a note? Simply this: He
is held for the payment of the amount in
full, principal and interest, if the maker of
the note, through misfortune, mismanage-
ment or rascality, fails to pay it. Notice,
the indorser assumes all this responsibility,
with no voice in the management of the bus-
iness and no share in the profits of the tran-
saction, if it prove profitable; but with a cer-
tainty of loss if, for any of the reasons stated,
the principal fails to pay the note.

<<

All Along the Line.

C. B. Bailey writes as follows relative to
the Manton organization: ‘‘I think our As-
sociation will be a grand suceess and result
in much good to-both classes.”

Traverse City Journal: Frank Hamilton
and the other delegates from this place who
attended the organization of the Michigan
Business Men’s Association at Grand Rap-
ids, report a pleasant and profitable time.
A large delegation from the many associa-
tions in the State were present, and the
numerous papers and addresses will prove
to benefit business customs and _ practices.
This is the. first State organization of the
kind. ever known, but others will probably
follow.

 

     

 

W. T. Hess is expected home from the

fast this week.

T. F. Moseley, of Moseléy Bros., has re-
turned from a tour of inspection of the
Southern potato markets.

business with Mr. May on an extensive
seale near Lexington, Ky.

Jas. T. Phillips, superintendent of the
Phillips Roller Bark Mill Co., leaves the
latter part of the week for an extended trip
through the South and East.

Capt. Crandall, of the firm of Glaser,
Frame & Co.—in which house Silas K.
Bolles, of this city, is a partner—is in town
this week, circulating around among the
trade with Mr. Bolles.

BUSINESS LAW.

‘Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts
of Last Resort.

 

SURRENDER OF NOTE—CONSIDERATION,
The Supreme Court of Vermont held that
the surrender of an old promissory note was

a sufficient consideration for a new one

executed by a surety, even though the sure- |:

ty had been released from payment of the
old note by the action of the insolvent
principal where both parties were cognizant
of the facts, but, being ignorant of the law,
supposed that the surety was liable for the
ld note.

 

TRADE-MARK—USE OF NUMBERS.

Numbers arbitrarily chosen may be used
as trade-marks, and will be protected as
such, but numbers allready in use and
known to the trade in connection with given
styles of goods cannot be appropriated to
his exclusive use by a maker of such styles
of goods, according to the decision of the
Supreme Court of Rhode Island in the case
of American Solid Leather Button Co. vs.
Anthony.

AGENCY—RAILROAD CONDUCTOR.

 

A railroad conductor employed a physi-
cian to attend an injured brakeman. The
physician after examination informed the
condyctor that it would be necessary to em-
ploy assistance, and the latter instructed
the former to employ such assistance as he
deemed necessary, saying that the railroad
company would pay them. The Supreme
Court of Indiana held that the contract’ to
employ assistance was beyond the scope of
the conductor’s authority, and would not
bind the company.

 

LANDLORD AND TENANT:

A lease of certain buildings provided
that the leasee should “keep the inside of
the buildings in tenantable repair, and so
deliver them at the end of the term.” The
lessor sued upon this covenant for damages’
on the ground that the lessee had not paper-
ed or painted the house during his tenancy,
that certain parts of the wdodwork were
decayed, and that holes were left in the
walls from which the tenant had remoyed
his fixtures. In the High Court of Justice
(England) Mr. Justice Cave held the tenant
liable in teference to the last two points,
but ruled that he was not bound to paint
and paper or otherwise put the house in
decorative repair. The landlord brought
the case up to the Court of Appeal, contend-
ing that the tenant was bound to deliver up
the house in such a state of repair as to
paint and paper and the like that a new
tenant would take it. The Court of Ap-
peal held that the tenant was not bound to
do any such painting or papering as was
got necessary for the preservation of build-
ings, but was merely decorative.

 

PARTNERSHIP—USE OF FIRM NAME.

In the case of Matthews vs. Hodgson, de-
eided by the English Court of Appeal, it
appeared that the parties had been in part-
nership but had dissolved under an agree-
ment providing that neither party should
use the firm name, but that both should be
at liberty to carry on the same business
separately that they had formerly carried
on together. They opened different shops,
and the defendent put upon his signboard
the sign ‘Hodgson, late of Matthews &
Hodgson,” the words ‘‘late of” being in
small letters. The plaintiff applied for an
injunction to restrain the defendent from
the use of this sign on the ground that by
using it he infringed the agreement of dis-
solution, and led the public to believe that
his shop was that of the old firm. The
Court of Appeal declined to grant the in-
junction, holding that while the agreement
prevented either party from trading in the
firm name it did not prevent their making
known the fact of their connection with the
dissolved firm. Though the words ‘‘late
of” were smaller than the others on the
sign, the Court was of opinion that on the
whole they were not unfairly placed, and
that the sign Was got intended to and did
not deceive.

- —_— 2 <> -

People in the West try every dodge to get
railroads to run near their property. A
railroad man tells the Chicago Mail of an
instance of this that recently happened in
Kansas. One day when he was laying out
his road a citizen came up and began to
boom his town. ‘I have named hex, Chi-
cago,” he said, ‘and she is bound to be as
big a place as the other Chicago, sometime.
You want to run your railroad through her.
It will only take you about six miles out of
the direct line, and the business you will
get will be immense. Besides, you will be
the first in, and will get the best location
for your depots.” ‘Well, how big is your
town now?” asked the railroad man. ‘‘Not
very big yet,” replied the citizen, ‘‘but she
is boomin’, you bet.” ‘‘How many houses
have you pow?” further inquired the rail-
yoad man. ‘Well, to tell the truth, we
haven’t any yet,” admitted the boomer, ‘*but
I’m diggin’ a well.” *

Bogus Cheese. i
From the Anti-Adulteration Journal.

The sophistication in cheese production |
seems to be as gross as that characterizing
the oleomargarine manufacturing. Upon
investigation we learn from a Chicago man- |
ufacturer that the main elements in cheese
manufactured from milk are caseine and fat.
Rennet is used to coagulate. It is necessary |
to add oil if a richer cheese is wanted. We,
have never been able to do it in this country
until recently, said the manufacturer. Lard
is now substituted in place of cream or but-
ter oil. To 100 pounds of milk we add |
114 pounds of lard, and have to buy the best |
lard we can. We get it in Chicago or else-
where, and it has to be deodorized by heat
in the usual way. Steam-rendered lard is |
better than kettle-rendered. By the new)
process it requires six to eight hours to ren-
der it. One would get 4 pounds of cream
from 100 pounds of milk, and this 4 pounds
is one-third caseine, so that about 2 pounds |
out of 100 is real oil, Therefore, 100
pounds of skim milk and 114 pounds of
lard will make 10 pounds of cheese. It
makes a good quality of cheese. We have
been able to sell all we could make. We
make salable cheese out of skim milk.

This new cheese is made from sweet milk,
from which cream has been removed at 40
degrees F., after standing twelve hours.
No chemicals are used in this process, ex-
cept some coloring matter which we make.
Ihave twenty-one factories and have put
them to making lard cheese as fast as pos-
sible. We have to work on the sly, but the
honest farmer would not take any advan-
tage. We get along with them by paying
them more for their milk than it is worth.
Seven of my factories are now making the
lard cheese, which goes to Chicago, Boston,
New York and Baltimore. The fact that it
was made of lard sold the goods. The skim
cheese factories in St. Lawrence use chem-
icals. I skimmed mine so close for butter
that it could not make salable cheese. This
kind of cheese we can sell to the middle
classes, but not to the millionaires. Lard
can be treated by difference of temperature
and not be injured like butter. To doedorize
the lard we blow hot steam through ft. W®
manufactured 2,500 boxes of 50 pounds each
last year.

The Tobacco Crop.

The August report of the National Agri-
cultural Department informs us that the to-
bacco crop has suffered severely from the ex-
cessive rainfall of the Atlantie Coast, and a
reduction in yield of a third is imminent, in
some districts a still larger proportion. In
Maryland it is a failure in many clay soils,
and on hillsides. In some instances the
plants appear to be slowly recovering their
vigor since the rains have been less preva-
lent. The quality it is feared will be impair-
ed by the excess of moisture and unhealthy
conditions. In some localities in North
Carolina replanting occurred three or four
times. The worst effect of excessive mois-
ture is found in prevention of cultiva-
tion.

In Tennessee there was too much rain,
with less: disastrous results, and cleaner
cultivation, leaving the crop in better aver-
age condition. Kentucky had a long rainy
season followed by drouth, which checked
growth and seriously tried the vitality of the
plants, causing a spindling habit and pre-
mature flowering. The season has not gen-
erally been favorable. It has done better
in Ohio and West Virginia. Cigar leaf is
looking fairly in Massachusetts, but not so
well in Connecticut. Condition is good in
New York and Pennsylvania. It has suf-
fered from drouth in Wisconsin.

He Didn’t Guarantee Its Safety.
From the Philadelphia Call.

Stranger—I left my umbrella here last
night. Where is it?

Shopkeeper—I don’t know.

‘““Why, you said I could leave it here.”

“Yes, but I didn’t say you’d find it here
when you came back.”

The Grocery Market.

Syrups and coffees are well maintained.
Currants are sure to go higher, on account
of short crop. Foreign and domestic raisins
are abundrnt and fine, in consequence of
which low prices are expected to rule.
Canned goods are active and higher prices
are anticipated. In consequence of a par-
tial failure of the cucumber crop, pickles
are bound to rule high and dealers would do
well to secure moderate stocks. The Glou-
cester mackerel catch is only one-third of
the average catch for five years past, being
60,000 barrels short, which has resulted in
an advance of about 200 per cent. Other
varieties of fish are advancing in sympathy.
Cocoanut is advancing, on account of a
shortage in the crop. Taken as a whole the
grocery market presents a novel spectacle
—novel in the sense of every article vieing
with every other article to climb upward.

Candy is steady and the demand active.
Nuts are steady. Oysters are without
change.

The Baltimore Oyster Market.

J. A. Henry, of the firm of Wm. L. Ellis

& Co,, Baltimore oyster packers, writes
THE TRADESMAN as follows relative to the
oyster situation at that market:

Fresh oyster demand has sprung up |
strongly since this cool weather began, and.
having now to depend upon the tongers for |
supply, we find some trouble in filling large |
orders complete. It will be until at least |
October 15 before we can depend upon hay-
ing a continual and full supply, as at that |
time the dredgers begin their work.

Minor Drug Notes.

Indiana is anxious for a pharmacy law.

There is no longer a combination on red
lead.

Soap liniment was the article used in an
attempt at suicide by an English woman.

The British government spends $300,000
annually in India on the cultivation of ein-
chona trees.

The Chinese government is trying to
raise cassia, but the natives strip the leaves
to use for medicine and kill the trees.

Some of the proposed state pharmacy laws
have provided that only registered druggists
shall sell patent medicines, but no such act
has become a law.

A druggist recently advertised for a clerk,
and among the answers was one from a
young applicant who inclosed his photo and
requested the proprietor’s in return.

Adulterated paris green prevented a man
from committing suicide. He thought it
was pure, and took what would have been a
fatal dose of an unadulterated article.

A Syracuse citizen recently applied patent
corn medicine to one of his toes, and now
gangrene has set in and the foot must be
amputated if the victim wishes to live.

i
Pick Out Your Holiday Goods.

Druggists visiting the city next week can
see as finea line of holiday goods as was
ever shown in this country by calling on
Chas. E, Watson and Ed. P. Andrew, at
Sweets Hotel. These gentlemen represent
S. A. Maxwell & Co., the well-known im-
porting and manufacturing house of Chicago,
and will take pleasure in entertaining any
merchant who wishes to look over their im-
mense line.

The Drug Market.

Glycerine has advanced about 15 per cent.
on account of searcity of the crude article.
English vermillion and all mercurial pre-
parations have advanced on account of the
advance in quicksilver. Linseed oil has de-
clined in consequence of the low price of
flax seed.

Messrs. Crookston, Mills and Crawford
will remain in town next week to assist the
Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Co. in entertain-
ing the druggists who come here to attend
the annual meeting of the Michigan State
Pharmaceutical Association.

The Coming State Convention.

The fourth annual convention the
Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association,
which will be held in this city next week,
gives every promise of being the most en-
joyable meeting the Association has ever,
held. The attendance bids fair to exceed
that of previous meetings, as there seems
to be a determination on the part of drug-
gists all over the State to be present. Es-
pecially is this the case with members living
in Western Michigan, who have been pre-
eluded the privilege of attending previous
meetings on account of their being held in
a distant part of the State.

The offer of M. B. Church to give mem-
bers of the Association a ride about the city
and a visit to the plaster quarries and wall
finish factories has been accepted by the
Executive Committee, which will necessi-
tate the abandonment of the regular pro-
gramme laid out for that afternoon.

Local Secretary White states that the ex-
hibits at this meeting will exceed, both in
number and variety, anything heretofore
seen in this State. Among those who have
applied for space are the following: Parke,
Davis & Co., Farrand, Williams & Co.,
Chas. Wright & Co,, Frederick Stearns &
Co., Aeme White Lead and Color Works,
Detroit: A. B. Wrisley & Co., T. W. Hein-
eman & Co., Chapman, Green & Co., Dean,
Foster & Dawley, Chicago; A. K. Tatem &
Co., Salem, Ohio; Wm. R. Warren & Co.
John Wyeth & Bro., Eastman & Bros.,
Philadelphia; Seabury & Johnson, Trondu-
quoit’ Wine Co., Cheesborough Manufactur-
ing Co., New York: Seubert & > Warner,
Syracuse: Albert M. Todd, Nottawa; Duroy
Wine Co., Cleveland; H. D. Cushman,
Three Rivers: Foote & Jenks, Jackson; Eli
Lilly Co., Indianapolis: Mallinkrodt

Place of Meeting.

The sessions of the coming convention of
the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion will be held in Royal Arcanum Hall,
which canbe reached from either the Mon-
roe or Ionia street entrances. The exhibits
—many of which have already arrived—will
be displayed in Armory Hall, directly over
the place of meeting. The exhibit hall will
be open from 8 a.m. until 6p. m., Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thursday, and will be
one of the strong attractions of the conven-
tion.

A LOOK AHEAD.

The Coming Officers of the Michigan State

s Pharmaceutical Association.

FOR PRESIDENT—FRANK J. WURZBURG.
As the time draws ucar for the fourth an-

nual convention of the Michigan State Phar-

maceutical Association, the question of

selecting competent officers to guide the or-

| ganization during the coming year naturally

presents itself. Tug TRADESMAN has given
the matter considerable attention during the
past few months, having canvassed the
merits of the various names proposed for
leading positions and is consequently able
to discuss the subject understandingly and
acquaint its readers with the sentiments of
a majority of the members of the Associa-
tion.

In regard to the selection of a presiding
officer, the opinion prevails in all parts of
the State that the next President should
come:from Western Michigan. President
Wells, who was the first President of the
Association, hailed from Central Michigan;
President router satisfied the ambitions of
Northern Michigan; and the present incum-
bent was the joint candidate of the Eastern
and Southern portions of the State. With
these facts in view, common fairness would
decide in favor of selecting the next Presi-
dent from Western Michigan.

Granting, then, that the position should
come from this portion of the State, what
town is most entitled to the distinction of
furnishing the candidate? Certainly not
Muskegon, for that city has not been with-
out official representation in the Association
since its inauguration. Certainly not Kala-
mazoo, for she has had the honor of being
represented on the Executive Board by the
same gentleman who now graces the State
Board of Pharmacy. Certainly not Ionia; she
has a representative on the Executive Board
in the person of Geo. Gundrum. With this
condition of ‘affiairs in mind, what town in
Western Michigan should be honored? All
concede that to Grand Rapids is entitled the
distinction of naming the next President of
the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Asso-
tion. /

Coneeding that the presidency should
come to this city, what names have been
suggested in such connection? THE
TRADESMAN is proud to say that the
druggists of the city are a unit in support
of Frank J. Wurzburg. ‘‘Support” is hard-
ly the proper word to use in this connec-
tion, for Mr. Wurzburg has never announc-
ed himself as a candidate for the position
and is not anxious to have his friends take
active steps in his behalf. The suggestion
of nominating Mr. Wurzburg for the posi-
tion named comes from sourees as farere-
moved from that gentleman as Maine is
from California. A pharmacist for twenty-
six years, a druggist for twelve years, one
of the founders and for a second time the
President of the Grand Rapids Pharmaceu-
tical Society, for two terms Vice-President
of the State Association, Mr. Wurzburg is
in every way qualified to assume for the
fourth annual convention the duties of the
position and to discharge them to the satis-
faction of all concerned.

FOR SECRETARY—A. W. ALLEN.

Western Michigan having boasted of the
Secretary of the Association for two years
and Central Michigan for one year, the same
eauses which would give the presidency to
Western Michigan now entitles Eastern
Michigan ‘to the secretaryship. As Detroit
has not received more than her full quota of
at the hands of the Association,
members of the organization in that locality
are inclined to accord the claims of Detroit
in this matter and the druggists of that
place have selected A. W. Allen as their
standard bearer. Mr. Allen, like Mr. Wurz-
burg, was one of the early members of the
Association, and the experience gleaned
during the two years he officiated as Local
Secretary served to fit him for the position
to which his many friends now propose to
elevate him. Mr. Allen has been a phar-
macist eighteen years and a druggist eight
years. He is energetic and persevering and
will honor the office to which he is sure to
be elected.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Frank J. Wurzburg was born in West-
phalia, Prussia, April 6, 1849, coming to
this country with his parents ten weeks
later. The latter tarried in New York City
two years, when they removed to Detroit,
where they remained six years. In 1853 he
came with hjs parents to Grand Rapids,
where he attended school until 1860, when
he entered the employ of L. D. Pntnam,
the pioneer druggist. January 1, 1874, he
was admitted to partnership in the house,
when the firm name was changed to L. D.
Putnam & Co. Mr. Wurzburg is a quiet,
unassuming gentleman, with hosts of friends
and no enemies.

A. W. Allen was born at Schooleraft, this
State, in 1849, and went to Detroit in 1868
to enter the employ of Comfort Bros., retail
druggists on Grand River avenue. He re-
mained in their employ until 1878, when he
bought them out and has since conducted
the business himself. Mr. Allen is ‘‘popu-
lar with everybody and particularly with
the druggists of this city,” writes a Detroit
correspondent, and it goes without saying
that he will write ‘‘Secretary” after his
name after October 14.

Alcohol from Sweet Potatoes.

French chemists have been making a
series of successful experiments, showing
that the sweet potato can be made to yield
nearly four gallons of alcohol to 225 pounds
of sweet potatoes. As large tracts of South-
ern lands are particularly adapted to the
growth of the sweet potato, this discovery
is likely to stimulate its cultivation..

 

 

 

Call for Fourth Annual Convention M. S.
Pp, A. *

The Michigan State Pharmaceutical As-
sociation will hold its fourth annual meet-
ingin Royal Arcanum hall, Grand Rapids,
Oct. 12, 13 and 14, 1886. We hope every
member of the Association will make an et-
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 exclu-
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 ean 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 seeretary at the meeting.

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

oy

At a special meeting of the Grand Rapids
Pharmaceutical Society, held on September
30, the folowing resolution was unanimous-
ly adopted:

WuerEAS—It has come to the attention
of this Society from diverse sources—too re-
liable to be questioned—that Jas. A. Bassett
has been circulating false and malicious re-
ports to the effect that the coming annual
convention of the Michigan State Pharma-
ceutical Association, to be held in this city
October 12, 13 and 14, is likely to prove a
fizzle, which false reports will have a ten-
deney to lessen the attendance on what
promises to be the most important and suc-
cessful meeting of the Association ever
held; therefore.

Resolved—That this Society condemn
said Bassett’s action in this matter as untrue
in any and every respect; that whether in-
spired by ignorance or malice, his represen-
tations are calculated to work great injury
to the cause of pharmacy in this State, and
are unworthy a person who lays any preten-
sion to being a gentleman and an honorable
business man.

—~>-?<.—-——-———
Physicians’ and Surgeons’ Supplies.

Visitors to the city on the oceasion of
the annual convention of the Michigan State
Pharmaceutical Association are cordially in-
vited to call at Mills, Lacey & Dickinson’s,
corner Monroé and Division streets, and in-
spect the large and complete line of physi-
cians’ and surgeons’ supplies carried in stock
by that firm. Besides being a matter of
great convenience to the trade to be able to
secure their goods in short order, Mills,
Lacey'& Dickinson are able to sell at the
same prices held in New York and Chicago,
as they are the authorized agents of the
manufacturers and are therofore able to give
their patrons the benefit of the regluar man-
ufaecturers’ prices. ;

‘You just take a bottle of my medicine,”
said a quack doctor to a consumptive, ‘‘and
| you will never cough again.” ‘‘Is it as fatal
as that?” gasped the consumptive.
