Quickly relieved by Cushman’s Menthol
Inhaler when all others fail. How is that
possible? Because by inhalation the very
volatile remedy is carried directly to the
delicate net work of nerves in the nose and
head, and applied directly to the nerves, and
so rapidly assimilated that quick relief is
obtained. It will last six months to one
year, and the last grain is as potent as the
first inhalation. You will find it sells rap-
idly. Retail price, 50c,

A Warning.

Pain is given for the wise purpose of inform-
ing us of the presence of danger and disease.
Any little excitement of an unusual nature
disturbs the balance of the system, the ner-
vous energies are exhausted, and headache
and a hundred other disturbances are the re-
sult. Many of the miseries of modern man
and womanhood might becured and prevent-
ed were their approach heeded and resisted,
having their origin in derangements of the
liver and blood, dyspepsia, jaundice, indiges-
tion, costiveness and other unwholesome con-
ditions. Evils of a diseased nature find a cer-
tain cure by the use of Golden Seal Bitters. In
this medicine, nature, aided by art, has pro-
duced a rare combination of medicinal prop-
erties, wisely adapted for the cure of diseases
common to mankind. The vitilizing principles

A Higher Salary. x
From Goodall’s Chicago Sun.
“Mr. Brown,” said the clerk, with a bow,
“I’ve worked a long year for you now,
And sir, I desire
A salary bigher—
“T’ve got to exist, sir, somehow.”

“And why,” cried the merchant, amazed,
“Should you have your salary raised?

I know you can live

On the wages 1 give

And save something, too. Are you crazed?”

“No, sir,’’-said the clerk, ‘but you know
How families nowadays grow,

My reason in short.

Is I cannot support
My family, sir, and not owe.”

“Ah! yes,’’ smiled the merchant, I see—

But what may your family be?”
“There’s five, sir. My wife,
Whom I love as my life,

Two servants and Fido and me.”

———_—_2- <a
THE LNNOCENT DRUMMER.

He bade his wife a tearful good-bye.

“My love, my only one! The time will
soon be here when I shall be in a position
to snap my finger at fate and set up as my
own boss. ‘Then we shall have no more of
these cruel partings.”

**And you will be true to me?”

‘*As IT always am,” he responded.

‘You did not forget to put that photo you
had especially taken for me in my ‘grip-
sack,’ did you?”

“Oh, dear, no. Are you sure you will

ook at it sometimes, love?”

“You wicked doubter! You know that I
should be wretched without at least such a
semblance of my pet to look at daily and
nightly.”

Draw the veil of charity over his grief
and the treachery of one in whom he had
such unbounded confidence.

In brief, she, his only love, his pet, his
wife, had secretly planned to make him
“wretched.” She had taken that photo-
graph from his gripsack, and was gloating
over his misery when he Should discover
that only memory remained to him for the
time being of his darling’s looks.

“The dear fellow, how he will scold me
for the trick,” she thought; but I will send
him the photograth in the first letter I write
to him.” .

Thus appeasing her conscience, she wait-
for his first letter.

It came from Chicago.

“My heart’s delight,” it began. ‘‘Got
here O. K. this a. m. Have been wrestling
with the trade all day, and a tough time I’ve
had of it. Weary and fagged I have retired
‘9 my room, shut out the gilded atmosphere
of sin that envelops this terrible city, and
taken from my satchel your sweet picture.
Tt is before me as I write. I shall kiss it
when I have said my evening prayers. It
will rest under my pillow. It is my one
solace until 1 hold you, my sweet wife, in
these faithful arms again.”

Thus far had she read, then she toppled
over on the floor.

What comfort she found there it is hard
to say, but a great determination rose with
the stricken wife, who went out an hour la-
ter and sought a telegraph office.

Her husbund had been saying his prayers
abroad that evening, and when he got to his
hotel about midnight, his spiritual emotions
received a rude shock by a telegram from
his ‘‘only love.”

It was elaborate for a dispatch, but under
the cireumstaneeés one could not expect an
outraged wife to transmit he feelings by the
slow mail. The dispatch read:.

“You are no longer the only drummer
who is not a liar, as you have always claim-
ed. Let the fraternity make you their
chief in the art. Had you taken the pains
even to look for the photograph you say
your prayers to, you would have discovered
that I had—to tease you—removed it. My
faith in you is dead!”

The husband clutched his hair.

“Why, what did I write to her, anyway?”

After a while his face cleared.

“By Jove! I must have been piling on
the taffy. That’s what a man gets for try-
ing his best to.make a woman feel good!
Poor little dear, what a fume she must be
in! Lucky for me she gaveher grievance
away. What geese women are! Bless her
little noddle, her faith shall be resurreect-
ed.’

Forthwith he telegraphed to a knowing
friend:

“Send me, first mail, photograph of my
wife. Beg, borrow, steal it, get it some-
how. Mum’s the word. .Will write all
particulars soon.”

About a week later adrummer, in digni-
fied martydom, stood face to face with a
stern, but very wept-out wife.

She expected to see him meek and hum-
ble, but he gazed wpon her with much scorn.
and then passed on to his room in crushing
silence.

She was amazed. With quick impulse
she followed, thanking heaven he had not
locked her out.

‘‘Well!” she began, with wavering cour-
age, ‘‘whatdhave you got to say for your-
self, now?” :

Coldly, cruelly he looked at her.

“J?” he queried. ‘Woman, if it were

not for the over-mastering love I bear for

you, I should never look upon you again?”

His face convulsed with tragic suffering
that was balm to her heart to witness, but

she only sneered:

to practice upon me?”

“Can you obliterate the insult put upon
your husband in that unwomanly dispatch?
A woman with so little confidence in her
husband would be better off to live alone.
For my part, I am not only disgusted but
disenchanted.”

He turned sorrowfully away, and bowed
his face in his hands. She approached him
and laid the letter which had caused her
such grief under his eyes.

“Read that. Knowing you had no pic-
ture of mine, what was I[ to think?”

“What any intelligent, right-minded wife
would have thought; you would have said to
yourself: ‘He is incapable of deceit; he has
my picture someliow.’”

“But you did not have have it.”

He looked at her with sad, resigned sor-
row. His lips quivered as he sadly mur-
mured:

“Oh, woman! without an atom of faith!”

Then he put. his hand in his pocket and |
produced her photograph.

“Oh, darling, forgive me! ‘This old
thing, taken long before we were engaged!
Why,I didn’t know you ever had one of
these!”

The restored confidence made her pretty
blue eyes swim in tearful joy. She put her
arms around him, asking his pardon, caress-
ing even his coat collar.

‘My dear,” said he, looking into her face
with grave but loving reproach, ‘‘let this be
a warning. Never doubt me again, no mat-
ter what appearance may be. I can always
look you squarely in the eye and say: ‘Lam
innocent.’ ”

And she believed him.

Organization of a Business Men’s Asso-
ciation at Greenville.

In response to an invitation the editor of
Tue TRADESMAN met about thirty of the
business men of Greenville last Wednesday
evening and made a few stereotyped re-
marks relative to the benefits derived from
organization. C.J. Clark was selected to
act as chairman of the meeting and E. J.
Clark as secretary. The chairman stated
the objects of the meeting, and after a full
discussion of the subject, Leroy Van Wor-
mer moved that the organization of the
Greenville Business Men’s Association be
immediately proceeded with. L. W. Sprague
moved that the constitution of the Ada Bus-
iness Men’s Association be adopted, with
the necessary changes, which was adopted.
The following gentlemen then identified
themselves with the Association: Sprague
Bros., J. L. Litchtenauer, W. B. Wells, E.
Mayo, S. C. Vanderlip, Stetson & Sprout,
D. Horton, A. Masse, Johnson Bros., Clark
Bros., S. V. Carlin, W. S. Demorest, Roger
Bros., Van Wormer Bros., Fowler & Sat-
terlee, Jacobson & Netzorg, Ganton &
Paseo, C. N. -Harriman, H. W. Riley &
Co., H. Seaman, G. W. Stevens & Son, T.
J. Phelps, L. Hamsen, Greenville Barrel
Co., P. Schrott, Wm. Ockerman, G. G.
Clark & Son.

Election of oflicers resulted as follows:

President—L. W. Sprague.

Vice-President—C. J. Clark.

Secretary—E. J. Clark.

Treasurer—J. Netzorg.

Executive Committee—President, Secre-
tary, Treasurer, Leroy Van Wormer and
A. C. Satterlee.

The election of the Business Committee
was postponed until the next meeting.

It was resolved to request the newspapers
to publish the constitution and by-laws, to-
gether with such remarks relative to the
aims and objects of the Asssociation as may
seem to the editors to be pertinent to the
subject.

A form of blank for notifyiug delinquents
to liquidate was adopted and ordered
printed.

Mr. Sprague was then called to the chair
and thanked the Association for the honor
conferred upon him in a neat speach, in
which he asserted that half his profits went
into dead-beat accounts, which is a manifest
injustice to prompt-paying customers. If
he could get pay for everything sold, he
could afford to sell goods at least 5 per cent.
lower. Mr. Sprague exhorted the members
to take hold of the work properly, push it
wherever it ought to be pushed, make out
reports carefully, neyer indulge in spit@
work, be honest with each other and just to
the delinquent and the Association would
increase in value and influence as the years
go on.

Mr. Stowe explained the benefits to be
derived from connection with the State As-
sociation, when’ he was given a_ vote of
thanks for his assistance in forming the As-
sociation, and the meeting adjourned for
one week.

Grand Haven to Organize November 5.

Encouraging Words from Vice-Fresident
Morgan.
Monror, Oct. 20, 1886.

i. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DrAR Sirn—First of ali, | wish to apolo-
gize for not writting before; but I have been
part of the time sick, part very busy and
part lazy; and besides I have hoped to have
been able to send you a list of all business
men of this city, so you could send them a
copy of your paper containing the proceed-
ings of the State Association, whieh I trust

| will have the effect of gaining many new

members for you and waking up association
work with us. I now hope that when our
election is over with we will be able to in-
duce a sufficient number to start an asso-
ciation and I assure you nothing would give
me more pleasure than to be able to say,
Brother Stowe, we are ready for you to
come and drill us.

Please send me severa! copies of your pa-
per containing the report of the convention,
as L used those I had sent me amongst bus-
iness men here, where I thought they would
do the most good, and L want some to send to
my friends in England, to let my old asso-
ciates there see what we are doing here in
the way of good to ourselves and fellow
men.

I do feel proud, I assure you, of being a
member of the Association and I hope that
I shall soon be a member of the Monroe
Business Men’s Association: and if we can-
not sueceed here, I shall knock at the door
of our Detroit friends and asked to be ad-
mitted, as I am determined to be an active
member of one, and not be satisfied with
being an honorary member.

Lhope the offer you have made for the
best form for the collection of accounts will
bring out some good ones, as | feel that too
much eare on this point cannot be given.
For my part, [ think the delinquent subject
requires the most thought to make it a
sueceessful collecting agency. I think that
some other name, such as Unsettled Ac-
eounts. or Uneollected Accounts, with re-
marks as to the reason honest and true,
without any feelings on the part of the
creditor, as it seems to me that we have no
right to come out and calla customer a dead-
beat who you have let run by your own fol-
ly and who, perhaps, could and would have
paid if we had only done half as much as
we are now doing to try and collect, but
through sickness, death, or reverse of cir-
cumstaneess is unable to pay. It is unjust
to class them as dead-beats, but those same
parties would have no injustice done them
by stating the facts, with the date of closing
account, ete., so that any one can see how
long it has been standing.

L would like, if 1 was nearer, to meet your
members and take some night to discuss
this important matter alone, as I feel that
the most justice we ean do, not only to our-
selves, but to those who have been our
friends, as they were when we trusted them,
the better it will work and the less fault
ean be found.

I feel that the grocers of -Michigan ought
to try and patronize our worthy Secretary
and father of our State Association, and as
regards THrt TRADESMAN I hope ere long
that your list in our city will be as numer-
ous as any town of its size in the State.

I would see our State Association adopt
some suitable emblem, so that its members
could use it in general and let others know
they are members.

I must close, as the more‘I write the more
things come to the point of my pen to speak
of. Oh, would that I had the gift of speach
or writting as I have of thought! but [am
like the young man who wrote his first love
letter; Truly I cannot find words to express
my feelings.

Iam longing to hear discussions about
tares, tricks in trade and purity of goods.

Our trade keeps good. I have just fig-
ured up my berry business for the past sea-
son and find it amounts toa very, respect-
able showing, as follows:

quarts.

All the above berries were retailed out of
my store, not shipped away, so you see |
have quite a small fruit trade.

I wish to extend to the Association my
sincere thanks for the courtesy extended
me by selecting me to act as First Vice-Pres-
ident, and I do sincely hope and trust that I
shall merit the confidence placed in me, by
doing my duty and I trust that anything
that you may wish to communicate to.me
as belonging to any member of Association
you will not be backward in doing.

Your faithful and ever willing worker,

Municipal Ordinance Against Peddling.

A town in Indiana passed an ordinance
fining ‘‘every person who peddles, hawks,
sells or exhibits for sale any goods, wares,
or merchandise not the growth of Rush
county, or shall take orders for any such
goods, wares, or merchandise for immediate
or future delivery about the streets, alleys,
hotels, business houses, private dwellings,
or at any public or private place,” without
having purchased a license. The ordinance

An agent
who earried samples of shirts manufactured
by a house in Indianapolis and took orders
from individuals and business houses for
goods to be delivered in the future, was con-
victed and fined under the provisions. of the
ordinance for peddling without a license.
His conviction was set ggide by the Supreme
Court of tadioin 4h Cert holding that
although a city may pass valid ordinances
against hawking and peddling, it cannot
deny to the citizens of other cities and com-
munities privileges and immuuities which
may be enjoyed by its own citizens, and
cannot impose burdens on the goods manu-
factured outside of a given district swhich
are not imposed on all goods under like cir-
cumstances, and that the legislature had no
authority to empower a city to pass such an
ordinance as the one in question, and that
therefore it was void.

SHOULD BRING CANADA TO HER
SENSES.

That the foreign policy of this Adminis-
tration is not to be absolutely spiritless is
shown by Mr. Cleveland’s proclamation, in
which he withdraws the commercial conces-
sions made in 1884 to the Spanish West In-
dies in the matter of exempting their prod-
ucts from discriminating duties. The
course pursued by the Spanish officials in
Cuba and Porto Rico always has been as of-
fensive as possible, and the terms of the
agreement have not been observed, especial-
ly of late. So these islands for the future
come under our general regulation as re-
gards their exports to the United States,
and thus pay the price of their want of
faith and courtesy. As America is their
largest customer for all kinds of their pro-
duce, this will put them at a serious disad-
vantage, and perhaps it will enable the
British West Indies to acquire a part of the
commerce they lose. As between slave la-
bor and free, there is no doubt of our pre-
ference for the British islands.

This act receives the hearty approval of
Americans generally, and especially of those
who have had much experience of how we
have been treated in the Spanish islands.
But the President would have given the
country much greater gratification if he had
used the power Congress put into his hands
in the matter of the interruption of com-
merce with Canada, until the authorities of
that colony had come to their senses as re-
gards the treatment of our fishermen.
Whatever may be the technical right pf the
Canadian claims, there can be no doubt of
the offensiyveness of enforcing obsolete and
oppressive custom-house regulations, with-
out previous notice. And on no coast but
that of Canada would an American ship be
compelled under penalty of a heavy fine to
report to the custom-house nearest, because
the stress of bad weather had compelled her
to seek the shelter of the headland. And
under no administration of the State De-
partment but that. of Secretary Bayard
would such an outrage upon comity be per-
mitted.

 

The merchant is playing -an important
part in the political affairs of Kent county
this fall. The Democrats have nominated
Geo. P. Stark, the Cascade general dealer,
for State Senator, and the Republicans have
put in nomination for Representatives Neal
MeMillan, the Rockford druggist, and Jas.
A. Coye, the well-known grocer of this city.
All the gentlemen named are well qualified
to discharge the duties devolving upon the
positions for which they are candidates. On
the score of old friendship, the editor of
Tue TRADESMAN would like to say some-
thing pleasant of Mr. Coye, but as his elec-
tion is a foregone conclusion, extended re-
marks at this time are superfluous. As the
foremost representative of the labor interests
of thecity, his yoice has always been lifted in
favor of moderation and manufacturers, mer-
chants and workingmen unite in according
him no small credit for the influence he ex-
erted to avert a general strike here last
May. The retail trade of Grand Rapids
feels the necessity for proper representation
at Lansing and unless Tuk TRADESMAN
mistakes the sentiment of the business pub-
lic, its ballot will be cast almost solidly for
the man who stands for the principles it
advocates.

The Minister of Finance in the French
administration has resigned. This is not
wonderful, as the condition of the French
revenue is alarming, and it is characteristic
of French opinion to fix on the minister as
responsible for the great falling off of re-
ceipts which the budget shows. So Necker
and Turgot were sacrificed for the sins of
other men. But it is rather the Minister ‘of
War who should resign, for it is the quixot-
ic campaign of the French army, and the
needlessly vast expenditures upon military
preparations, which threaten to bankrupt
the public. And it is not impossible that,
as in 1789, national bankruptey may lead to
a revolution in the government. France

Howard City offers about as promising a
field for a business organization as any town
in the State. Every merchant in the place
is heartily in favor of organizing, except
one, and he would favor the project if he
took Tne TRADESMAN and saw the good
the merchants were accomplishing by con-
certed action.

 

The time is rapidly approaching when the
town without an associatiog will be regard-
ed by business men as several years behind
the times.

 

 

While ‘ Bulgaria declines to be scared,
Turkey evidently is so. Under threats of
an advance upon Constantinople along the
Southern shore of the Black Sea, the Sultan
has thrown all his weight in Bulgaria on
the Russian side, and has ordered the pro-
visional government to come to terms with
the Czar. Either the government is very
audacious, or it has strong pledges of sup-
port from other quarters; for it snaps its
fingers at"both the Sultan and the Czar.

 

The work of organization goes bravely
forward. As will be seen by reports else-
where in this issue, Greenville, Holland and
Coopersville have settled the question of
local organization, each association having
been launched with considerable enthusiasm
under unusually favorable conditions. Burr
Oak succumbs to the inevitable this week,
and next week Wayland, Muir and Grand
Haven follow sutt.

 

 

The Big Rapids and Elk Rapids Associa-
tions, have identified themselves with the
Michigan Business Men’s Association during
the past week and the Coopersville Associa-
tion has voted to become auxiliary'to the
State organization.

Hollands exhibits many evidences of pro-
gression and properity. Eighty new build-
ings were erected during thé season now
drawing to aclose and fully as many more

new structures will be undertaken next sum- |*

mer.

 

A leading merchant of Rockford promises
Tur TRADESMAN that his place will swing
into line on the organization question as
soon as election is over.

The Grand Rapids School Furniture Co.

have formed a copartnership under the firm
name of Cummings & Graham and will en-
gage in the crockery and glassware business
in the corner store of the new Cody
block. The stock is now on the way and
the firm expects to begin business about No-
vember 10.

All the stock of the Grand Rapids Loan,
Building and Homestead Association has
been placed and as high as 20 per cent. pre-
mium has been offered on the amount paid
in. So successful has been the Association
that the formation of another similar organ-
ization has been decided upon.

L. D. Harris, of the firm of Harris & Mar-
vin, paper jobbers at Detroit, was in town a
couple of days last week, arranging the pre-
liminaries atteiding the advent of the new

Barnhart block has been leased for a long
term of years, and it is now expected that
the new concern will be in readiness to be-
gin business by November 10...

 

The business men between Grand Rapids
and Owosso are petitioning the ‘‘powers that
be” on the D., G. H. & M. Railway to run
a morning train from Owosso into Grand
Rapids, leaving Owosso about 7 a.m. The
work has been taken up by nearly all the
Associations along, the line and is being re-
inforced by a lengthy petition to thesame
purpose, signed by all the jobbers and man-
ufacturers at this market. The D., G. H.
& M. has nearly always treated Grand Rap-
ids fairly and there is every reason for
thinking that the management will devise
some way to meet the request.

Honcrary Membership in the State Asso-
ciation, ;
West OLIve, Oct. 23, 1886.
EB. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Sir—Am I to understand that any
business man can secure the benefits of the
Notification System of the Michigan Busi-
ness Men’s Association by qualifying for
honorary membership?

There are not enough business men here
to form a local organization, but lam anx-
ious to secure some immunity from the
dead-beat class.

The State Association will undoubtedly
work a revolution in present business meth-
ods, and have a tendency to cause individ-
uals to be careful about making promises
which they quickly break.

Yours truly, O. TRUMBLE.

[Mr. Trumble can obtain the Notification
Sheets of the Michigan Business Men’s As-
sociation by qualifying for -honorary mem-
bership... Inasmuch as connection with a
local association will do him much more
good, however, Tue TRADESMAN would
suggest that it would be advantageous for
him to identify himself with either the Hol-
land and Grand Haven Associations, or both. |

S. M. Austin, Vice-President of the Ben-
| ton Harbor Pickle and Vinegar Co., was in
| town a couple of days last week.

John C. Christenson recently had the mis-
fortune to get his right hand caught ina
a cracker machine at Eaton & Christenson’s
bakery, badly mangling the member. It is
as yet uncertain whether the hand will die.

A. J. Webster, ot Vallejo, Cal., has been
in town several days, the guest of his cou-
sin, Dave Haugh. He was in attendance
on the Knight Templar conclave at St. Louis
and could not forbear the temptation to visit
Michigan before returning home.

 

‘The Gripsack Brigade.
Dick Warner hails the advent of a thir-
teen pound doy.
Aaron Hufford, Michigan representative
for Oberne, Hosick & Co., has gone East

‘on a vaeation.

M. H. Goodspeed, representing the Wool-

‘/ son Spice Co., of Toledo, was in town last

week, interviewing the jobbing trade.

W. H. Downs has returned from Hodunk,
where he attended the nuptials of his sister
Miss Cynthia Downs and Wm. Hallenbeck,
of Girard. .

Leo. A. Caro was taken fora Bohemiam
oat swindler last week by an outraged mer-
chant, but he was saved a thrashing though
the intercessions of Wm. B. Edmunds.

Jas. McSkimin has abandoned the idea of
establishing himself in the brokerage busi-
ness at Lafayette, Ind., and has engaged to

.| travel for Clark, Jewell & Co., taking the

Saginaw Valley as his territory.

The traveling fraternity know a good ho-
tel by instinct, which accounts for the gen-
erous patronage accorded the Maxfield
House, at Coopersville. O. G. ahd wife
may not know all that pertains to hotel
keeping, but they know how to make their
guests comfortable every time, which is
more than can be said of half the hotels.

A Montague correspondent of THE
TRADESMAN writes as follows: ‘‘Dick
Mangold Sundayed over at the Franklin
House, Oct. 10, to the great chagrin of John
P. Oggle, who has heretofore considered
himself the only one favored with any in-
ducement. Dick has friends in town who
will hold his silk hat and break the news to
his Grand Rapids friends after the boys’
first meeting.

When C. B. Lamb severed his relations
as traveling salesman for C. M. Henderson
& Co., of Chicago, the firm refused to reim-
burse him for expenses incurred while stop-
ping in Chicago awaiting the firm’s pleas-
ure. Mr. Lamb argued that he charged the
house nothing for expenses while at his
home in Plainwell, and that the firm was
bound to pay his expenses while in Chicago
the same as when on the road. Not being
able to adjust the matter in the ordinary
course of business, Mr. Lamb sued the firm
for the amount claimed. Thé suit was stub-
bornly contested, but Mr. Lamb gained a
victory in the Allegan Circuit Court and the
Supreme Court has just affirmed the decis-
ion. The litigation was in the nature of a
test case, and its outcome is a matter of
great interest to both emyloyers and sales-
men.

"WEDNESDAY, OOTOBER 27, 1886,
Snooks’ Experience at the Pharmacy Con-
vention.

Cant Hook Corners, Oct. 20, 1886.

Editor MICHIGAN TRADESMAN:

DEAR StrR—I am home again after my
pleasant trip to your city to attend the
State pharmacy meeting. We had a big
time and enjoyed ourselves hugely. I say
‘*we” because Mehitable was with me. She
would go along, as she said, to keep me
straight. She said: ‘‘No getting out with
the boys to paint the town this time and at-
tending varieties and other questionable
places. You are a married man now.”

So she went along and looked at all the
fashions and bought enough dry goods to
load a cart. We saw lots of pretty things
in the dry goods line. We was going up
Munroe street on the second day of the ex-
hibition when my wife said:

. ‘Look there, Sol, isn’t that pretty?”

“Yes, by Jupiter, ’tis,” said I, ‘‘what
pretty red cheeks and black hair she has
got.”

“Oh pshaw!” cried my wife ‘‘I did not
mean her face paint. I mean that wrap
she has on. I must have one like it.”

That’s always the way, Bro. Stowe,

The men see the faces and tresses,
The women the hats and the dresses,

which is poetry.

But I got out with the boys just the same,
cause I was invited to a reception at the
Peninsular Club, given by the Hazeltine &
Perkins Drug Co. I mean the reception

was given, not the club. We had a bang- |

up time and no mistake. I looked in vain
for the traditional long, slim, hatchet-faced
pharmacist. Me was not there. Instead, I saw
a crowd of as well-fed, jolly-looking chaps
as Lever met. The music furnished by the
string band in the billiard room, was
superb, I could hardly keep mv feet still.
At about 9:50 p. m. we began to eat in
platoons. The square table was tastefully,
arranged, and we arranged ourselves around
the outside next to the wall.
large lot of green things in the middle, a
pig with an onion in his mouth at each cor-
ner and the bowls of ‘‘pate de few graw,”
oyster chowder, thing-em-bob salad, deviled
turkey, fruits, etc., presented a toot ensem-
ble highly creditable to the gentlemanly
hosts of the occasion.

I went in with the first platoon and got

through the first three courses as far as the
iced claret, when along came my friend |
Out |

Crookston, with the second platoon.
of respect to him I had to stay and go
through it all again.

When Mehitable reads this, she will
know why I snored so that night, so that
the clerk sent the bell boy up to know what
had happened, I spose he thought it was
another earthquake.

After supper we all snioked two cigars
apiece. Thatis what made my mouth so
dry next morning. Then we went into the
reading room and I studied about an hour
over an inscription over the fire place. It
was a mixed up thing and 1 asked Crooks-
ton and Harrison and Mills and Bassett
what it meant, but none of ’em knew. I
gotit before I quit though. In plain En-
glish it was ‘‘Good fire, good friends, good
cheer.” Good thunder! who would have
thunk it from the way it was inscribed.

Then we went for our hats,
had got mixed so that the committee on
hats could not tell tother from which. I
was a little fearful that some one would ap-
propriate my hat. It is a nice fall style hat
—fall of 1882—and I have become attached
to it. Like an old pair of shoes a man be-
comes attached to his old hat. But no one
took mine. I waited till all the others had
got theirn and then went and found mine
all safe in the center of the floor.

The next day we took'a trip to the aunty
kalsomine works and in the evening we
went to see the ‘‘Two Kids” at Powers’
opera house, all the visitors being furnished

with tickets for himseif and wife, by the’

kindness of our entertainers.

But I must leave the rest for ny next let- |

ter, when I will tell about the exhibits also.
Yours truly,
SOLIMAN SNOOKS.

Business Enterprise. »

 

A merchant cannot be successful who has
no ‘‘business enterprise.” Although we
may differ with this one, or that one, as to
what is ‘‘business enterprise,” or may differ
with the German grocer whose opinion of
“enterprise” is stated below, we cannot
doubt that Hans had something in his head
besides beer:

‘““Whatis the price of sausages?”
a customer.

“Dwenty cents a pound,”
swer.

“You asked twenty-five this morning.”

‘Yah; dot vas ven I had some. Now 1
ain’t got none, I*sells him fordwendy cends.
Dot makes me a reputation for selling cheab
und I don’d lose noddings.”

Homes and How to Build Them.”

 

 

The Michigan Tradesman.
Retail Grocers’ Association of Grand Rap-
ids.

The regular semi-monthly meeting of the
Retail Grocers’ Association, which was held
on October 19, was called to order by Vice-
President Coye. The following applications
were received and the applicants elected:
A. D. Esler, 108 Monroe street; John Greig,
16 Plainfield avenue; T. H. Hart, 254 South
Division street.

The Arbitration Committee was instructed
to be prepared to make a full report on the
Van Wyck-Moelker matter at the next
meeting. : .

The following resolution, presented at the
previous meeting, was taken from the table
and adopted, and also ordered published in
Tue TRADESMAN:

Resolved—That we congratulate the busi-
ness men of Michigan on the successful or-
ganization of a State Association;

Resolved—That we bespeak for the Mich-
igan Business Men’s Association the hearty
co-operation of every one interested in the
unification of business men and the eleva-
tion of business methods;

Resolved—That we congratulate ourselves
that this Association took an active part in
the inauguration of a State union;

Resolvcd—That we learn with pleasure
that the State Association intends meeting
in convention with us again next March,
and that we hereby agrée to do all that lies
in our power to render the second conven-
tion even more of a suecess than the first
meeting.

Treasurer Harris reported disbursements
amounting to $37.25 since the last meeting
and a balance on hand of $15.85. Accepted.

Collector Cooper reported the collection
of $655.10 since March 15 and secured ac-
counts and good notes amounting to $191.12,
making a total of $846.22. Of this sum,
$425, or about 65 per cent., was worthless
accounts.

B. F. Emeryasked whether he had any
remedy against debtors living in towns
where there are Associations and was as-
sured by State Secretary Stowe that he
could refer the accounts to the local organ-
ization and in case the debtors failed to pay
they would be put on the delinquent list,
the same as if the debts were contracted
there.

The meeting then adjourned.

Beware of Shoals and Rocks.

 

 

 

Referring to the admittance to member-
ship in one of the local associations of an
improper person, President ‘Hamilton writes
Tne TRADESMAN as follows:

The Secretary of a neighboring Associa-
tion was in to see me a day or two ago and
said that a number of delinquents had been
to him and cursed him over and again for
putting them on the delinquent list, while
their Association recognized as a member
such a notorious dead-beat as
who had outraged the class which was suf
fering from their combined action; in all of
which there was so much truth that they

 

9

are very seriously thinking of doing as the,

darkey minister said his congregation did
to him, ‘‘handed him his resignation.”

To me, the question seems to be a very
simple one. Wemust do as we would be
done by. Wedemand honor and fair deal-
ing, prompt pay and justice, and shouid we
not demiand it, by compulsion even, from
our members, as well as from outsiders?

One man of bad character will curse an
association unless he is cut off. Now that

business men are striving to adopt article |

11 of the State constitution, they can show it
in no better way than by ostracising the dead-
beats fn their own ranks, Hence the cau-
tion necessary at first to so guard the en-
trance to local associations that the lowest
grade member cannot use the Association
for his illegitimate ends, bringing the best
men to the lowest level.

Let us, if we ean, stimulate a high stan-
dard of honor. Let associations not be
afraid to expel a member, if it be neces-
sary for the Association’s good. The man
who is aiming to defraud his creditors,
Jarge or small, should be summarily dealt

‘ with, in order that the Associations may

stand out in their proper ‘light as practicing
what they preach—as being as much in the
interest of public good as private protec-

tion.

A Happy Thought.

Menier, the French chocolate maker, was
aman of no manners, no education, but of
indomitable energy and activity, and pos-
sessing a mind fertile in resources. At one
time, when already prosperous, he had car-
ried on his operations with so much zeal
that his unsold stock had accumulated. His
foreman suddenly informed him that over
200,000 pounds of chocolate were lying
in his store rooms undisposed of and rapidly
mildewing, being already discolored. This
meant ruin. Menier bethought himself for
a moment, and within forty-eight: hours
every available wall or boarding in all the
towns, villages and hamlets of France were
covered with huge posters bearing in flam-
ing capitals ‘‘Chocolate Menier, the only
one that gets white as it gets old.” The
stock was sold with astonishing prompti-
tude, and not only was the impending dis-
aster staved off, but from that d&y dated the

 

phenomenal prosperity achieved by the
chocolate maker.

The Grocery Market.

Business and collections are both good.
Sugar is firm, but without marked change.
Valencia raisins continue to decline. Pack-
age coffees have advanced 14 cent. Other
articles in the grocery line are about steady.

Candy is in active demand and prices are
steady. Nuts are in good demand and firm
in price. Cocoanuts are in a little better
supply and ‘lower. Peanuts are a shade
lower. Jamaica oranges are the only fruit
in the market. The quality is good and
prices are low. Lemons are good for this
season of the year and the Malagas are
cheap. The best grades of figs are fair, but
the cheaper makes, as usual, are only fair.
The supply is yet limited and prices remain
firm. ‘The crop is reported large and lower
prices are looked for later. :

Oysters are fine in quality, and as the
weather gets cooler the demand improves.

Otsego Merchants, Beware!
BE. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
EASTMANVILLE, Oct. 23, 1886.

DEAR Sir—I take the liberty and without
any organized authority to inform you as
general secretary of the grocers’ association
in regard to a dead-beat who recently re-
moved from Eastmanville to Otsego. He is
one of the worse dead-beat tramps who ever
entered this peaceful village. He owes me
about $17. Ido not squeal on that, when
he owes others considerable more, even for
house rent. Ido this that you may notify
the organization in the place where he has
gone to give its members timely warning of
this beat. His name is George W. Grace
and he is a married man.

Respectfully. yours,
A. WAGNER.

You Can Come In Any Time.

Please inform me if I am correct.

Yours respectfully,
J. A. VAN ARMAN, Sec’y.

ITS GREATEST SUCCESS.

Concluding Proceedings of the
M. 8. P. A. Convention.

 

 

 

 

THURSDAY MORNING.
The first business on hand was the open-
ing of the question box. In response to an
inquiry as to the best Urug mill, several
members said they considered the Swift
mill best, while others. recommended the
Enterprise mill.
In response to an inquiry as to the advis-
Shility of changing the present tests of ker-
osene oil,
it unwise to lower the standard at the pre-
sent time.
Fred. E. Kelsey, of Ionla, was elected a
member of the Asssociation.

Dr. B. Lyons presented, by title, a
paper on Query No. 82, which was ac-
cepted.

H. W. Snow presented, by title, an an-
swer to Query-No. 29, which was accepted.
0. C. Johnson, through Prof. Prescott,
presented an answer to Query No. 54, which
was accepted.
J. R. Conrads presented, through Prot.
Prescott, an answer to Query No. 5, which
was accepted. .
The result of an examination of eight
samples of commercial salycilic acid was
presented by Prof. Prescott. Accepted.

E. C. Federer presented, through Ottmar
Eberbach, a paper discussing the possibility
of improvement in the present preparation
of fluid extract of ofergot. Accepted.

President Brown called Frank J. Wurz-
burg to the the chair and nominated 8S. H.
Douglass, of Ann Arbor, for honorary mem-
bership in the Association. The nomination
was seconded by Prof. Prescott, and Dr.
Douglass was unanimously elected.

A. W. Allen presented the report of the
‘Committee on Exhibits, which compliment-
ed the Association on having the finest ex-
hibit ever made in the State, and recom-
mended that Local Secretary White be voted
$50. Adopted.

A. B. Lyons moved that all papers pre-
sented at the annual meetings of the Asso-
ciation be considered as belonging to the
Association. Adopted.

Frank Wells asked permission to address
the meeting. He said there was onee in his
employ a young man, quite young, who gave
fair promises of becoming a full-fledged
pharmacist. He was handy at washing bot-
tles, cleaning graduates, ete., but, fortu-
nately or unfortunately, he fell from grace
and subsequently became a member of the
Legislature. While a member of this body
he proved himself true to his earlier educa-
tion and manifested his friendship for Mich-
igan druggists und pharmacists by strongly
advocating and championing the pharmacy
bill. In conclusion Mr. Wells said, ‘‘that
young man is present. and I ask the privil-
ege of introducing him to the Asssociation.
Gentlemen, ‘I take pleasure in introducing
Hon. Melbourne H. Ford, candidate for
Congress from the Fifth district ag Mich-
sg

*. Ford said: ‘‘Gentlemen of the Asso-
oe —[ should like to address you at
length upon this occasion; my heart is with
you in your work, but I am suffering from
severe hoarseness, brought about I shall
not say how. Iam surprised and pleased
at the magnitude of your Association; sur-

Frank Wells said he considered 4

 

prised to learn that the Michigan Associa-

tion is the largest State organization of the
kind. Iam glad to see the interest and
enthusiasm shown by this gathering; glad
to see that the honored professers of the
Michigan University are pleased to interest
themselves in your meetings. It is one
thing to belong to an organization and pay
the regular dues, and quite another thing to
take a hearty and active interest in the an-
nual meetings. When a member of the
Legislature I participated somewhat in the
agitation of the pharmacy bill. We were
informed by some that the bill was class
legislation. At first 1 took it as a joke
that members of the Legislature should
claim that legislative action to pass a bill

-to protect human life should be ‘class legis-

lation.’ The pharmacy bill was legislation
in the interests of every citizen of Michigan
and I have not regretted anything I may
have said to secure its passage. I thank
you, gentlemen, for your attention.” Presi-
dent Brown arose and said he wished to
bear personal testimony to Mr. Ford’s earn-
est advocacy of the pharmacy bill.

Dr. Crouter presented the report of the
Committee on President’s Address, which
was treated as follows: The recommenda-
tion that the President and Secretary be
added to the Executive Committee was
adopted. The recommendation that the
State Medical Society be requested to elect
delegates te the next meeting of the M. S.
P. A. was adopted. The election of an as-
sistant Secretary was considered not neces-
sary, Which was adopted. The recommen-
dation that the Secretary be requested to at-.
tend the meeting of State Secretaries was
adopted. Recommendations relative to the
scarlet label, organization of local societies
and furnishing wholesale quotations for
daily papers were passed, as the questions
had already been acted upon by the con-
vention.

The selecticn of .the next place of meet-
ing being then in order, A. Bassett invited
the Association to hold its next meeting at
Detroit, on the ground that Detroit was the
only place in the State where the members
could be properly entertained. Considering
the endeavers Grand Rapids had made to
render the occasion pleasant, this remark
had somewhat the same effect on the Grand
Rapids druggists a: asa dash of cold water in
the face.

Secretary Parkill stated that an invitation
had been received from the druggists of
Peloskey, inviting the Association to, hold
its next meeting at that place.

Frank Wells moved that the next meet-§

ing of the Association be held at Detroit.

Dr. G. W. Crouter presented the claims
of Petoskey, promising the members all the
entertainment they could wish and a sight
of the grandest body of water they ever
looked upon. .

A. Bassett asserted*that the Association
was not looking for entertainment, but
should hereafter confine its meetings to
“strictly business.” ;

Dr. Crouter asserted with a good deal of
feeling that whenever the entertainment
feature was eliminated, the Association
would go down.

S. E. Parkill, A. W. Allen, A. B. Stevens,
M. V. Gundrum, O. Eberbach, A. B. Lyons
and Fred M. Alsdorf declared themselves
in favor of having the next meeting at Pe-
toskey and the convention so voted. The
date of the meéting was changed to July
12, 13 and 14.

Nelson Pike, of Morley, and Richard Van
Boschove, of Grand Rapids, were elected

An Interview with a Drummer.
From the Nashville American.

‘“‘What do you think of a drummer’s life,
anyway?” was the question asked of a
Nashville traveling man.

‘“‘Wouldn’t trade with anybody unless it
was one of the firm. We have too much
fun—that is, the boys who don’t leave the
railroads. The poor fellows who take to
wagons and perambulate to towns where
there ain’t six stores, lead a dog’s life, but
the men who head the profesh’ and stick to
the locomotive lines have a pretty fair slice
of the good things of life. It’s the excite-
ment that catches us. We work, of course;
if we didn’t we couldn’t hold our jobs, but
legitimately a deal of fun and sensation ean
be sandwiched in. We absorb the bright
things that float on the toy#wave of human-
ity. We see their follies and play upon
them; we study their weaknesses, and in a
mild way, take advantage of them; we hu-
mor their hobbies and are ridden thereby in-
to favor; we search out their needs and try
to supply them. Life becomes a ceaseless
round of events. We have to be on the go,
and when we get back to town are as rest-
less as a country bumpkin in a swallow-
tail. Get into scrapes? Of course we do,
but we skip from place to place so fast that
we eseape the penalty of our wrong doings.

Many of the boys have to ‘jump’ towns
where they have gotten into trouble. The

‘house’ doesn’t find it out; they merely think
re couldn’t sell goods there. Yes, we see
a deal of human nature.”

“What do you think of men, anyhow?”

“They’re a pretty good sort.”

“And of women?”

“They're the daisies—that is, most of
them are.”

““What’s the best way to sell a bill «
goods?”

“That depends. In the first place you
can’t sell a man unless he needs your goods,
or fancies he does. When the first eondi-
tion exists all is plain sailing. A drummer
has to get in his work on the class who
don’t think they need anything. You must
get a man in good humor before you can
reason with him. Mellow him up and then
you can mould him. A good joke, well told,
is excellent axle grease, but a ‘chestnut? is
a wet blanket. Suit your joke to your man,
don’t be vulgar before a christian, and don’t
be modest with a rowe. If possible, get
some pointer on your man before you enter
his store; but if you happen blindly upon
him, exercise your wits to size him up and
then work him according to what you have
found out. In a general way you must
know a man’s nature before you ean sell
him. No man can be a drummer whois not
a good judge of men.”

“What is an average salary fer a Nash-
ville drummer?”

“About $1,200, though some run down to
half of that, and a few others make over
twice that amount.”

“Wow many drummers are therein Nash-
ville?” :

“IT should say 300. But, say, see that
girl over yonder sitting by herself? I’m go-
ing over and work the window racket, and
see if I can’t get upa mild flirtation. See
you directly.”

Drug Quotations in Latin.

THE TRADESMAN presents a novel fea-
ture this week in the shape of drug quota-
‘tions in Latin, which is undoubtedly the
first time such a combination has" ever been
used by any trade paper in this country.
The new arrangement has not been adopted
permanently, but will be considered as an
experiment until THe TRADESMAN is satis-
fied it better serves the pleasure of its pat-
rons. In case a majority desire a return to
the old way, the present method will be dis-
continued.

Tur TRADESMAN Solicits a full expres-
sion of opinion from its subscribers on this

point.

The Drug Market.

Glycerine has sustained another advance;
on account of scarcity of the crude material.
Balsam copaiba and tolutan are very firm at
the advance. Cubeb berries are higher. Mor-
phia and gum opii are very dull. Foreign
brands of quinine are firm, on account of an
advance in the price of bark.
