The popularity of Muzzy’s Corn and Sun

PRISES.

The Drummers’ “Grip.”

Its sides are all battered and broken and torn;

With the hardships of travel it’s all scarred
and worn; :

It has been my companion ou many atrip,

And L love it, I love it. my battered old grip.

When I first bought 10 new, it was yellow as
zoids, ;

Its sides were strong and well able to hold

All the shirts, cuffs and collars I’d need on the

trip;
Can you blame me for loving my battered old
grip?

When I brought it home then there were little
hands kind,

That filled it with nick-nacks that seemed to
her mind

To be useful to me when on a long trip;

The thought of these things makes me love
my old grip. :

T’ve packed it myself as full as ’twould hold

Of samples and clothing and sundries untold,

But there was never atime when a bottle of
e i ”

Could not find some room in my battered old
grip.

It’s often been opened between seats on the
ears,

Surrounded by “drummers” as jolly as ‘‘tars,”’

Who knew well how to enjoy a game of draw
on atrip,

With naught foratable but my battered old
grip.

Its battered old sides many secrets have held,

That when once inclosed in them all fears were
expelled

Of them ever being known, for it would not
give me the slip,

My oldfriend, my true friend, my battered old
grip. .

Traveling thousands of miles it has been atmy
side, ;

Sticking close as a brother—yes, close as a
bride:

And now I can’t think of making a trip

Without first joining hands with my battered
old grip.

Ringing Address from President Hamil-
ton—Pertinent Suggestions.
TRAVERSE Crtry, Nov. 20, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

Dear Sir—To-day I enclose you two
advertisements from two boot and shoe
dealers, located not very far from your city,
and for the entertainment of your readers
in trade, I have noted opposite the adver-
tised prices the probable, and in some cases
the actual, cost of each article. The first
was issued for what reason we know not.
The second was undoubtedly in response,
and commercially speaking, bears the true
ring of a challenge to mortal combat be-
tween two retailers—a genuine war-whoop
at the commencement of the season’s busi-
ness. Standing at this distance, it is dif-
ficult for any one to judge correctly of the
outcome. Should I dare venture an opinion,
it would be along the line of a ‘‘draw” af-
ter a few rounds, resulting in ruined prices
and a loss of confidence in trade circles—pos-
sibly a settlement with creditors at fifty
cents on a dollar and a stigma attached to
one, or both, by the community that will
not be easily erased. Civilization in busi-
ness, as in society, is dependant upon the
mingling and commingling of its members.

Now, Brother Stowe, do we not have too
much of this cannibalism and _ prize-fighting
among retail dealers? We seldom hear of
anything like it among the jobbing fraterni-
ty, and why not? I leave it for another to
answer.

I regret that there is a spot in this grand
old State of Michigan*so distant that the
messengers of peace and good will among
merchants have never entered therein. Ifthe
Michigan Business Men’s Association will,
at our next meeting, set aside a sum for
missionary work among -the merchants, we
will apoint a good lay member to visit this
place where these men reside and flood
their stores with good reading on the bene-
fits of organization. Until our Association
ean endorse this move, I would suggest
that you, at your .own expence, seek out
this quarter, talk up organization, circu-
late recent copies of THE TRADESMAN,
subdue them by force of arms, if necessary,
toa fair and just competition, and come
away and watch results.

Again, is there any work of civilization
in taking, as for instance, a line of rubbers
the purchase price of first qualities by the best
companies being the same to all, regardless
of the ‘‘color line,” and flaunting the prices
to the public from ten to twenty per cent.
below actual cost? If so, wherein does it
lie? wherein is ita mark of generousity to
the consumer, or of honor, or of victory to
the seller? Perhaps Mr. Arnold, Ex-Presi-
dent of the National Boot and Shoe Asso-
ciation, whose letters I have read with
pleasure, can tellus. If I could not hope
that through the instrumentality of our
State organization that some day the spirit
in trade would burn out much of this savage
element; that merchants would recognize
each others right in trade; that the many
discordant elements now existing could not
be erased, through an occasional social
meeting, as is in the case of other classes
of men; that the extreme and narrow in-
dividualism tending to aristocracy on one
side or to intentional bankruptcy on the
other, each for the want of more social
contact could not be harmonized; did I not feel
that sooner or later the dead-beat would
not only be astrocised socially, but driven
to a more congenial clime and the cash
system more strictly adhered to, that every
consumer would know that his ‘‘rating”
was in the office of the retailer as the re-
tailers’ is before every jobber—I would
say that our future efforts would be in vain;
but as I see a broad field spread out before

Mr. Kelsey Replies to “The Tradesman’s”
Criticisms.
Tonta, Nov. 21, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DreAR Srr—May I ask small space in
your next issue to make one correction and
to refer to at least two matters involved in
your editorial on ‘‘Mr. Kelsey’s Views?”

Under the third suggestion, I am made to
say that some person should read a paper
on **The Convict System,” its advantages,
ete. Now, it doubtless appears to your
readers as if that were a decidedly vague
subject in this connection, and I had no in-
tention to make such. Just what I did say
was—that a paper be read on ‘‘The Credit
System, its Advantages and its Disadvan-
tages.” It oecurs to me that such.a paper
would prove valuable, owing to the, fact
that there are diverse opinions on this ques-
tion, some maintaining that it is practica-
ble and possible to wholly abolish; and oth-
ers, that it is only possible to curtail and
systematically and effectually govern, the
much-abused system. Inclining to the lat-
ter belief, I earnestly hope we may have the
pleasure of listening to a paper of this char-
acter.

Referring to the editorial, I concede one
objection noted, concerning the holding of
the Association at Lansing in March. If
the attendance should be liberal, it might be
difficult to secure comfortable accommoda-
tions at reasonable rates; still, it would
seem that a city of 10,000 people, poesessing
the hotels that Lansing boasts, ought easily
to care for the number of delegates that will
attend. Before the day of assembling shall
have arrived, it is to be hoped that the Sen-
etorial contest-will be settled and that the
city will have attained its usual quiet.
However, there are other good accessible
points, so there need be no controversy.
It is possible I may have ‘‘a wrong idea as
to the proper course to pursue to secure new
legislation,” but if my memory and obser-
vation serve me rightly, I believe the way
indicated by me to be common, practicable
and entirely safe. Itis of frequent occur-
rence that some place desires incorporation,
a city charter, or a law authorizing the rais-
ing of money by bonding. What course do
they pursue? Do they not first fully con-
sider the subject, settle definitely what is
desired, and then place the matter in the
care of a committee—thoroughly versed as
to all arguments for and against the object
sought—duly empowered to lay it before
the proper committee in the Legislature? I
emphatically dissent from the opinion that
it is usual or common to earry any ordinary
matter to the local primaries to pledge a
man, if elected, to vote for a special object.
In nine cases out of ten, the home member
and the district senator may be relied on to
support any good, worthy, honorable meas-
ure that tends to the health, happiness and
general good of their constituents. ‘‘Un-
favorable criticisms,” and ‘‘unfortunate an-
tagonisms” may, and are liable to be encoun-
tered, but that any proposition would be
criticised or antagonized to a greater degree
by reason of a session of our Association in
Lansing is a statement I cannot endorse.
They are gentlemen—servants, if you please
—put there by your vote and mine. We go
before them with a request that certain
laws, having laudable ends in‘view, be en-
acted. The request is preferred and is sup-
ported by such facts as we are able to adduce
in support of it. ‘Think you that our legis-
lators would be prejudiced against us or
against a worthy cause, simply because we
personally appeared before them to present
our own petition? Do you not rather believe
that they would receive us courteously and
give us that consideration usually extended
under the circumstances outlined? If any
legislation is necessary—and I believe we
agree that there is—is it not just as neces-
sary now, as it probably will be during the
session of the Legislature convening Jan-
uary 1, 1889? Ifso, why delay? Why not
set the ball in motion?

Lastly, referring to the subject of.‘*Con-
vict Labor,” I need not say, if I catch your
meaning, it requires not a giant intellect
intellect to discover that Tus TRADESMAN
—generally so sound and a counsellor so
valuable—inclines to treat the subject light-
ly not to say sarcastically. To my, perhaps,
unsophisticated, mind the convict system
has but a single merit. In all other partic-
ulars, I, as an insignificant citizen of a great
nation and of a powerful State, and a busi-
ness man of humble pretensions and mod-
est attainments, am free to say that I con-
sider the system evil—in fact, little less
than evil personified. I cannot here argue

 

 

 

the case, but shall simply say that the great
injury falls with crushing weight upon hon-
est labor in every State in the Union, an
injury far-reaching, iniquitous and without
excuse. These injuries fall not only on the
laborer, but also almost directly on hun-
dreds of business men in almost every avo-
cation. The suppostion that the strike and
the boycott, as instruments in the hands of
the Knights of Labor, would cause the fall
of the system is erroneous. They have ac-
complished both much and little, but have
now an ally in the field, none other than the
“National Anti-Contract Prison Labor As-
sociation of Manufacturers,” organized in
Chicago last summer. The facts adduced,
tlie sentiments expressed and the resolutions
adopted, were respectively graphic and in-
teresting, showing evidence of great wrongs
inflicted, grievous oppressions borne and of
resolute determination to wage war upon
an institution that jeopardizes the existence
of needed manufacturing, that enhances the
worth of some, that robs thousands of mon-
eys that should be expended for honest la-
bor without the prison walls. This is a
matter that should enlist the sympathy of
every business man, who should work not
through the strike by encouragement, not
through the boycott, not only through State
legislation but by persistent effort, looking
to the abolition of this evil by the general
government; and if I read the temper of the
people aright this commendable object will
be effected. Thus will I ever pray.
Very respectfully,
W. E. KELSEY.

Second Annual Meeting of the Retail Gro-
cers’ Association.

The second annual meeting of the Retail
xrocers’ Association, which was held last

Tuesday evening, was largely attended. Ap-
plications for membership were received
from the following grocers, all of whom
were elected members of the Association:
Winchester & Sours, 241 East Bridge street;
Chas. G. Jones, 669 Wealthy avenue; H.
W. Heath corner Eleventh and Turner streets
FE. J. Carrel, 37 West Bridge street; P. Veld-
man, 119 Hilton street and Van Dam Bros.
& Kievit, corner Center and Sycamore
streets.

Collector Cooper reported receipts since
the last meeting and read a list of the names
reported to him as delinquent.

The Secretary read a number of letters
from other associations, reporting delin-
quents who have removed to this city.

reo. Dunaven called attention to the fact
that many men employed by the jobbing
houses were delinquents and that in many
cases the employers refused to assist the
grocer in the collection of his accounts.
He suggested that the grocers withdraw
their patronage from any jobber who refus-
ed to discharge an employe who would not
pay his grocery bills.

E. A. Stowe said he objected to the As-
sociation going into the boycotting business.
It now enjoys the respect of the jobbing
trade, as was evidenced by the recent fund
contributed by the wholesalers to entertain
the State Association. There is not a job-
ber in the city who will not interest himself
in the collection of a grocery bill, owed by
his employees, providing he is properly ap-
proached.

C. J. Van Halteran said he had kindly
requestet a certain jobber to help him col-
lect a grocery bill against a teamster, but
the jobber refused.

Jas. Farnsworth said he theught it would
be poor policy to criticise anyone who
would not discharge a man who refused to
pay an old account.

H. A. Hydorn counseled moderation and
suggested that the motion, if the idea be put
in the form of a motion, be modified so as
to request a jobber to use his influence in
the collection of accounts owed by his em,
ployees.

Collector Cooper said that the jobbing
trade usually treated him very considerately
and he thought that mild measures would
accomplish more than harsh.

Gerrit H. DeGraaf said that no jobbing
house sought to harbor dead-beats, any
more than the railway companies do, and
that his experience was that he was always
helped in his collections against a jobber’s
hired men by talking with the head of the
house.

On motion of Jas. A. Coye, the matter
was laid on the table until the next meet-
ing.

Pesident Herrick reported the result of a
call, in company with Secretary Stowe, on
Representative-elect Killean. Mr. Killean
re-affirmed his intention to use all possible
endeavors to secure the repeal of the section
in the city charter which stands in the way
of establishing a public market.

The Law Committee and the Secretary
were instrueted to look over the charter and
see if the repeal of the obnoxious section is
all that is necessary to secure the desired
results.

On motion of Jas. A. Coye, the Secretary
was instructed to correspond with the Grand
River Valley Horticultural Society and the
West Michigan Farmers’ Club relative to
outlining a plan of action during the com-
ing session of the Legislature, so that when

t

 

the Association acts it will act in harmony
with the organizations of producers.

Election of officers being then in order,
H. A. Hydorn and E. A. Stowe were ap-
pointed tellers. Three informal and two
formal ballots were taken for President,
when Jas. A. Coye was declared the unan-
imous choice of the Association.

On motion of E. E. Walker, A. J. Elliott
was elected First Vice-President.

On motion of A. J. Elliott, E. E. Walker
was elected Second Vice-President.

On motion of G. H. DeGraaf, E. A. Stowe
was re-elected Secretary by a rising vote.

On motion of H. A. Hydorn, B.S. Harris
was unanimously re-elected Treasurer.

The following gentlemen were elected a
Board of Trustees: H. A. Hydorn, Milo
G. Randall, Gerrit H. DeGraaf, Jas. Farns-
worth and Geo. Dunaven.

President Herrick then called President
elect Coye to the chair, who said he would
defer his speech until the next meeting.

On motion of W. C. Harper a rising vote
of thanks was tendered the retiring Presi-
dent for the able manner in which he had
directed the affairs of the Assocition during
the past year.

Mr. Herrick said he was glad to be let off
from the rostrum. If he had done the As-
sociation any good in the position to which
he was delegated, he was glad of it. The
organization has already accomplished a
great amount of good work and much yet
remains to be done. As a lay member, he
will strive just as hard to advanee the in-
terests of the Association as he has
occupying the President’s chair.

Treasurer Harris reported a balance on
hand at last meeting of $28.35, and the re-
ceipts of the present meeting at $16.25,
making the present balance $44.60.

President Coye bespoke for the next meet-
ing the same large attendance as at the pre-
sent gathering and the meeting adjourned.

What Money Does.
Geo. S. Coe in “The Bank's Service to Com-
merce.

To produce by industry the money’s worth
is the legitimate way to make money. Men
do not want the money itself, but what the
money’s worth wiil bring by exchange.
This is the beneficent and binding law of
nature. Older nations have tried in vain to
evade it, and their records show how inva-
riabiy and ignobly they have failed. 1t is
left to our own new country, and particular-
ly to the newer parts of it, to repeat these
old errors—errors all the more conspicuous
and aggravated because commerce has so
largely extended its sway, and brought all
parts and peoples of the earth into closer
relations.

Commerce is greater than local statutes
and will over-ride them all. The instru-
ments it uses are still those which the ex-
perience of long ages has tested and ap-
proved. ‘They cannot be supplanted by any
one nation without throwing that people in-
to discordant relations with the rest of man-
kind, and turning it back to barbarism.
Natural law, while it is universal and om-
nipotent in its operations, is at the same
time so genial, beneficent and quiet, and so
fits all conditions of men everywhere, that
it seems to be no law at all. We only find
our mistake when we disregard it, and sub-
stitute for it our own petty contrivances.
Faith in idea of natural law and individual
rights under it lies at the very foundation of
the American Government.

But the importance of observing what
money is, is immeasurably exceeded by re-
garding what it does. It is the money’s
worth and not that money itself, that so in-
cessantly passes throughout the commercial
tides.

More than nine-tenths of the world’s com-
merce consists of the simple exchange of
one thing for another by means of paper in-
struments which convey, but do not them-
selves, like true money, possess its real val-
ue. Such instruments when they have dis-
charged their appointed service necessarily
die and are withdrawn. Every document
which traverses the great highway of nations
must have its constituent of real property
concurrently in motion to meet it, and by
which it is redeemed when the property is
sold. The ships that pass each other upon
the ceean bear the substantial things given
in tratlic one for another by pre-arrangement
of their owners, through the offices of mer-
chants and bankers. All their cargoes, of
whatever they may consist, of useful mer-
chandise, are, in effect, held in the portfoliog
of bankers, through whom they are ex-
changed and re-exchanged for their money’s
worth of other things desired, in any other
part of the commercial world. Fortunately,
there is no international power that, under
forms of law, can forcibly inject into the
world’s commerce a fictitious paper intended
to perform the offices of money, while not
doing the substantial duty of carrying an
equivalent value along with it. That stu-
pendous folly can only be perpetrated by in-
dividual states, most of whom in the old
world have repeatedly tried it, and proved
its evil resnlts.

ORGANIZING ON A FIRMER BASIS.
Mr. PLEASANT, Noy. 16, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Str—Seeing your name in Tue
MicHIGAN TRADESMAN as Secretary of the
Michigan Business Men’s Association, I
venture to ask your opinion on this ques-
tion: Why cannot business men organize
in a more firm and substantial society, sim-
iler to the Knights of Labor? Their inter-
ests are all one, and if laborers ean organize
with closed doors, why not we? As this is
only a question, coupled by a suggestion,
please give me your opinion. _

Yours very respectfully,
F. A. SWEENEY.

THE TRADESMAN is somewhat in doubt
as to the proper answer to make the above
enquiry, as it has every reason for thinking
that the present method of organizing busi-
ness men into associations has everything
to commend it—possessing, as it does, all
the elements of permanency. If anything
will serve to keep business men together—
impell them to pull together—it is the bene-
ficial results which have followed in the
wake of every organization thus far formed
in Michigan. Even so strong a bond of
sympathy as that presented by the Knights
of Labor is not sufficient to keep its organi-
zation intact, as the order is fast going to
pieces in this city, and doubtless the same
is true at thousands of other places in the
country. If Tur TRADESMAN reads the
signs of the times aright, there is a revolt
against oath-bound societies having for their
objects the attainment of conditions which
can just as well be secured in an open-hand-
ed manner. By organizing under the pres-
ent system in use in this State, a business
manis able to collect many old aceounts
and prevent the making of new bad ae-
counts. He comes to look upon his neigh-
bor and competitor in an entirely different
light and eventually becomes a convert to
the live-and-let-live principle. He gradual-
ly reduces the number of his working hours
and frequently secures immunity from the
peddler, as well as the dead-beat. These,
together with other reforms and advantages
equally as important, are the legitimate re-
sults of concert of action and ought to be
sufficient to commend the present method to
every business man in the State.

 

“NATIONAL STANDARDS.”

Elisha Winter, editor of the New York
Advocate, having been repudiated by the
trade of his own town—which happens to
be the largest city in the country—is out
with another impracticable scheme--this time
a-‘*National Pure Food Convention,” for the
purpose of instructing Congress exactly
what to do in the premises. The project: is
doomed to failure for the following reasons:
It is gotten up by one man for his own per-
sonal aggrandizement; it has not the sup-
port of a dozen men of National reputation;
it is a thing which belongs to the States to
legislate upon; finally, it is a subject rele-
gated to the mercantile associations, which
are pledged to give it due consideration
whenever the organizations are sufficiently
numerous to secure the success of the move-
ment.

Organize associations and let alone matters
which belong to them only until they are
strong enough to secure the needed legisla-
tion. Remember the adage about the half-
cocked gun.

 

B. G. Alf & Co., wholesale grocers at Cin-
cinnati, have sued the Liggett & Myers To-
bacco Co., of St. Louis, damages being placed
at $25,000. The plaintiffs signed the de-
fendents’ contract, agreeing not to sell a
certain brand of goods: below a given price,
but disregarded its stipulations. Thereupon
Liggett & Myers refused to pay them the
ordinary rebate, refused to sell them more
goods and instructed other houses to refuse
to sell them goods. For such refusal four-
teen Cincinnati jobbing houses are made
parties to the suit. The litigation is likely
to be fought out on purely legal grounds,
and as its outcome involves the validity of
the contract system, the result will be look-
ed for with considerable interest.

 

The National Whip Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation, which was formed about a month
ago, went into effect last Friday. The or-
ganization includes all the manufacturers of
whips and whip machinery and all dealers
of whip stock in the United States. Its
objects are to secure uniform prices and de-
termine a basis of credits, all poor-paying
customers to be black-listed. Its operations
extend over the United States, Canada,
British Possessions, Australia, South Amer-
ica, Mexico— wherever whip salesmen go.
The movement originated at. Westfield,
Mass., the largest whip manufacturing center
in the world, and has the hearty co-operation
of whip men everywhere.

 

 

The deposition of a foot of snow all over
the great plains of the Northwest thus early
im the season presages an unusually severe

%

winter. So long as our west winds come
over a thousand miles of bare fields their
coldness will be mitigated. But when they
sweep across an uninterrupted snow field
clear to our doors their cold is inereased by
snow evaporation during every added mile
of their course. If the snow which has
fallen in Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Min-

a very cold season.

 

Colonel Sellers, having failed at everything
else, concluded to ‘‘Go in for the Old Flag—
and an appropriation.” Winter, having fail-
ed to maintain a compact organization in
his own town, has concluded to ‘‘Go in for
a National Standard—and an official or-
ganship for the Advocate.’? The illustra-
tions are not so dissimilar as some might
imagine.

 

 

The Coopersville Business Men’s Asso-
ciation, thirty-one strong, and the East Jor-
dan and South Arm Association, twenty-four
strong, have qualified for auxiliary member-
ship in the Michigan Business Men’s Asso-
ciation since the last report. This gives
the State body a total membership of 792.

 

Reed City organizes this evening, Leslie
Thursday evening and Cedar Springs on
Friday evening. Woodland takes similar
steps on Thursday evening of next week.
Michigan is making the most rapid and stb-
stantial progress in the work of organiza-
tion of any State in the Union.

Big Rapids Herald: A co-operative gro-

expect to increase it as business requires.
The company is incorporated ‘under the
State law. H. S. Widger is the manager.

The Pentwater News says: ‘‘There is
talk of a co-operative store being started at
this place in the near future. This arises
from the kick on account of the organiza-
tion of the Oceana County Business Men’s
Association.” No honest man will “kick”
on such grounds—it is only the rogues and
sneaks who oppose honest combination on
the part of business men.

The failure of Levi Truesdell, general
dealer at Muskegon, and A. C. & L. 'Trues-
dell, furniture, carpet and crockery dealers,
at the same place, is cause for ‘Sincere re-
gret. The elder Truesdell is one of the old-
est merchants in the Sawdust City and both
he and his son are considered good average
business men. The assets will probably
exceed the liabilities, but may not be imme-
diately available.

About eighteen months ago N. Pierson,
of Three Rivers, sold his hardware busi-
ness to James Spaulding, of Indiana, who

ed judgment for $5,500. An appeal] was

cessful lumbermen, who have for the past

up.

Alpena merchants refused to bind them-
selves to ship all their goods by rail for a
year, and the negotiations for lower freight
rates have therefore fallen through. The
merchants will stock up largely while the
boats are running and snap their fingers at
Governor Alger’s railroad.

Laderach Bros., lumber and salt manu-
facturers at West Bay City, made an assign-
ment on the 17th to Theodore Hine, of Bay

Harrington & Payne Bros., of St. Louis,
recently bought the clothing stock owned
by Jas. Freeman, in which James Henry, a
wealthy citizen, was also interested. ‘The
mew purchasers placed a flaming advertise-
ment across the whole front of the four
stores occupied by them, announcing a great
sale of the “bankrupt clothing stock of Jas.
Henry & Co.” Mr. Henry, who is perfectly
solvent and a director of the First National
Bank, took offense at the use of his name
and placed the matter in the hands of his
attorney, who is taking legal steps to cause
the removal of the obnoxious advertisement.

W. T. Lamoreaux has an even half hun-

partment. The report that he will organize
the girls into a White Swan troupe and take

Robert M. Floyd, the genial Western
manager for Geo. V. Hecker & Co., favors
Tur TRADESMAN office with an elegant
photograph of himself, which has been ele-
vated to a conspicuous position over the ed-
itorial chair. Every young lady who has
visited the office has made strenuous at-
tempts to obtain possession of the artiele,
and if itis as much trouble for Mr. Floyd
to keep the original intact as Tum TRADEs-
MAN experiences with the ‘‘counterfeit pre-
sentment,” he is entitled to the sympathy
of unmarriedmen everywhere.

Always at the Front.

The American Eagle Tobacco Co., of De-
troit, has a reputation second to no manw-
facturing house in America. Every piece of
goods turned out of their factory is made on
honor and in no case have new goods failed
to make a “hit.” The company is now in-
troducing anew fine cut under the name of
“Cherry,” which is likely to prove no ex-
ception to the general rule. It is sold to the
trade at 60 cents and is retailed at 5 cents an
ounce, thus afferding the dealer a handsome
profit. Novel tactics have been adopted in
introducing ‘‘Cherry” to the notice of the
consuming public in this city. Six thousand
cards have been cireulated anong the work-
men in the furniture and other factories, en-
titling the bearer to 5 cenfs worth of ‘‘Cher-
ry” at any grocery or tobacco store in town.
The dealer honors all cards thus presented
and—besides helping to introduce the goods
—iakes a straight profit on each transac-
tion by getting the cards redeemed at 5 cents
apiece by the jobber from whom he purchas-
ed the tobaeco. This plan is the most feas-
ible-one yet devised to get fine cut before
the people who use it, and large results are
sure to follow in the wake of such an ingen-
ious method of advertising.

Legislative Suggestions Commended—The
School Book Nuisance.
Evanrt, Novy. 17, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Srr—Your remarks on ‘*Needed
Legislation” are appreciated. Keep the
matter before the people. Ask your corres-
pondents to give their views to the public,
especially on insurance. I should like the
name of some reliable company not in the
ring.

Another matter which will bear a little
agitation is our school book system. Every
village and school district in the State have
a different series of school books. The re-
sult is a heavy tax on the poor, who are
obliged to move from place to place, driven
by circumstances, and who have to buy new
books every time they move. If some
means could be devised by which a uniform
set of text books could be adopted by all
district schools aud changes governed by a
State board, it would be a boon to a suffer-
ing public. It would bea help to teachers
and it would remove a great sense of annoy-
ance to dealers, who now find their profits
on school books standing on their shelves in
the shape of discarded books.

Respectfully, F. Hipparp.

Reed City Arrayed on the Side of Progress.
REED Ciry, Noy. 19, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Str—A meeting of the business
men of Reed City was called to be held on
Thursday evening for the purpose of form-
ing a Business Men’s Association, but as
there were not enough present to proceed to
organization, the meeting was adjourned
until Tuesday evening, Noy. 23. It was ad-
vised that the Secretary correspond with
you and ascertain what the expense would
be to procure your services to help in,or-
ganization. Please state whether or not
you could be here on Tuesday evening, and
if not, what evening would be agreeable to
you? Respectfully yours,

H. W. Hawkrns, Secretary pro tem.

 

 

“Pay, Progress and Principle.”

It is a matter of regret to Toe TRADES-
MAN that the letter of President Hamilton,
on the first page of this issue, was allowed
—through an unfortunate oversight—to go
into the paper without the proper correc-
tions indicated by the proof reader. In the
first line of the fourth paragraph, ‘‘work of
civilization” should be ‘‘mark of civiliza-
tion,” and in the 28th line of the same para-
graph ‘‘astrocised” should read ‘‘ostra-
cised.” Speaking of the letters inscrib-
edon the banner of the M. B. M. A., tHe
word ‘‘thereon” should have been used, in-
stead of ‘“‘therein.”? Several other smaller
inaccuracies will have to be excused by the
reader.

The prices referred to by Mr. Hamilton
are for rubber goods and boots and shogs.
First quality men’s rubbers cost 49 cents,
but the advertiser offers them for 40 cents.
Ladies rubbers cost 34 cents, but are offered
at 20 cents. The quotations on leather
goods exhibit even greater discrepancies.
Such quotations indicate one of three things:
Gross dishonesty in representation; cut-
throat competition; or a desire to sell out
and pocket the eash, leaving the creditors
on the mourner’s bench.

The business men of that town need the
influence of an association.

Cogent Reasons for Early Closing.
From the Harbor Springs Independent.

Our merchants are agitating the question
of early closing of business places during
the winter season. This would be a move
in the right direction, if agreed to and ear-
ried out by all the merchants. During this
winter season there will be but very little
trading done after seven o’clock; and by
closing at that hour it would give clerks
and business men an opportunity to spend
the evenings with their families, to go and
see their best girls or attend some of the
various literary societies or places of amuse-
ment.

THE CENTURY

For 1886-87.

THE CeNTURY is an illustrated monthly
magazine, having a regular circulation of
about two hundred thousand copies, often
reaching and sometimes exceeding two hun-
dred and twenty-five thousand. Chief among
its many attractions for the coming year is a
serial which has been in active preparation
for sixteen years. Itisa history of our own
country inits most critical time, as set forth

in
THE LIFE OF LINCOLN,

By His Confidential Secretaries, John G. Nico-
lay and Col. John Hay.

This great work, begun with the sanction of
President Lincoln, and continued under the
authority of his son, the Hon. Robert T. Lin-
coln, is the only fulland authoritative record of
the life of Abraham Lincoin. Its authors were
friends of Lincoln before his presidency; they
were most intimately associated with him as
private secretaries throughout his term of
office, and to them were transferred upon Lin-
coln’s death all his private papers. Here will
be told the inside history of the civil war and
of President Lineoln’s administration—impor-
tant details of which have hitherto remained
unrevealed, that they might first appear in
this authentie history. By reason of the pub-
lication of this work,

THE WAR SERIES,

which has been followed with unflagging in-
terest by a great audience, will oceupy less
space during the coming year. Gettysburg
will be deseribed by Gen. Hunt (Chief of the
Union Artillery), Gen. Longstreet, Gen. E. M.
Law and others; Chickamauga, by Gen. D. H.
Hill; Sherman’s Mareh to the Sea, by Generals
Howard and Slocum. Generals Q. A. Gillmore,
Wim. F. Smith, John Gibbon, Horace Potter,
and John 8S. Mosby will describe special battles
and incidents. Stories of naval engagements,
prison life, ete., ete, wiil eppear.

NOVELS AND STORIES,

“The Hundredth Man,” a novel by Frank R.
Stockton, author of ‘The Lady, or the Tiger?”
ete.. begins in November. Two novelettes by
George W. Cable, stories by Mary Hallock
Foote, “Uncle Remus,” Julian Hawthorne,
Edward Eggleston and other prominent Ameri-
ean authors will be printed during the year.

Kennan, author of “Tent Life in Siberia,” who

Good Cheese Wanted.
From the N. Y. Merchants’ Review.

‘Can you tell me where I ean get some
good cheese,” was a query put to us the
other day by a lady who is a connoisseur of
cheese, ‘‘I have tried every grocery store in
my neighborhood and the cheese I got was
a disgrace to the man that sold it to me.”

This isa curious complaint in a country
where cheese is produced so extensively
and of such good quality as it is here, but
all lovers of good cheese will fully appreci-
ate the complaint. To-day the trade in
cheese—we mean domestic cheese—of the
average grocery store is so small that it is
hardly worth keeping in stock. Why is it?
There must be some reason why the demand
is so limited, andthereis. Having investi-
gated the subject we believe the fault lies en-
tirely with the retail trade in not keeping a
choice quality of cheese. It is a notorious
fact that the major portion of the finest
makes of American cheese is shipped abroad.
This is not as it should be. There must be
something wrong for us to export our best
cheese and consume imported, for which we
pay extravagant prices.

Discussing this matter with a large deal-
er the other day we asked him if he could
explain this inconsistent business. ‘‘The
demand,” he said, ‘‘from the consumer is
for mild cheese, and instead of the grocer
buying really fine, ripe, fancy cheese, he
buys a skim cheese. A fault is that many
of the wholesalers sell skim cheese to the
grocer because there is more money in it, it
being mild, almost so mild that there is not
a taste of cheese about it. What is wanted
is that the grocers should try and cultivate
a fine cheese trade. Buy cheese that is ful-
ly ripe so that the customer, after having
once tasted it, would not be satisfied with
common grades. This would double the
trade in cheese in a very short time.”

Speaking of the manufacture of poor
cheese and a good deal of the better_kinds
being sent to market before they were ripe,
James Seymour said that ‘the makers
made the kind of cheese the trade demanded.
The Canadian-made cheese being made for
shipment principally was allowed to ripen
and so it had gained quite a reputation.
The grocer ought to use every effort to in-
crease his trade in cheese by selling ripe,
full cream cheese.”

We do not, ourselves, believe that the
grocer neglects his cheese trade intentional-
ly, but-he does not pay snfficient attention
to it, for the reason that there is not suffi-
cient of it. Still we admit that the best
way to remedy this evil is to cultivatea
taste for good cheese. Why, in a country
which produces cheese, as this does, in such
an abundance, it is a shame that any, or at
least such large quantities of, foreign cheese
should be imported. ‘There is a good profit
in selling good cheese, and the grocer who
cultivates it will be well repaid. If our
friends have not tried it let them do so.
Just now there will be some splendid Sep-
tember-make cheese on offer, and let the re-
tail trade act their part by buying some and
specially offering it to their customers.

2 <—o---_-—
Hints to Merchants.

 

Don’t worry. Don’t overwork.

Don’t make the field too broad.

Make friends, but don’t encourage fayor-
ites.

Keep down expenses, but don’t be pen-
urious.

Keep a high vitality.
well, enjoy life.

Stick to your chosen pursuit, but not to
chosen methods.

Don’t tell what you are going to do—till
you have done it. :

Enter your charges when the goods are
sold. Don’t wait.

Make plans for a little way ahead, but
don’t cast them in iron.

Be content with small beginnings—and
be sure to develop them.

Don’t take fresh risks to retrieve your
losses. Cut them off short.

Be cautious; but when you make a bar-
gain, make it quietly and boldly. r

A regular system of sending out bills and
statements is more effective than spasmodic
dunning. ;

Have a proper division of work, and neith-
er interfere nor permit interference with your
employees. :

It is better for your creditors to postpone
payment squarely than to pretend to pay by
giving a check dated ahead.

Look after your ‘‘blotters”—and all books
of original entry. In litigation they are re-
liable evidence; copies are not.

A New Venture.

Minister (in grocery store)—I am pleased
to see, Mr. Sugarsand, that motto on the
wall, ‘‘Honesty is the best policy.” It will
pay you from a business point of view to
say nothing of anything else.

Mr. Sugarsand (hopefully)—I hope so,
sir, but I haven’t tried it long enough yet to

make a fair test of it.

The Michioan Tradesman,

SOLIMAN SNOOKS’

 

 

Solution of the Anti-Cold-Storage Prob-
lem Proves a Failure.
Cant Hook Corners, Nov. 20, 1886.
Mr. Editor:

THE TRADESMAN just came to hand and
{ should like to know why your compositor
took so much pains to knock the letter ‘‘r”
off the word ‘‘remitted” in two places where
Isaid: ‘‘Mr. Fairboy moved that the dues
of the members for 1886 be remitted as very
few had remitted for themselves.

Mr. Fairboy says I had better furnish a
chart of the joke, with appropriate sound-
ings and scale of miles. I wiil cheerfully
do so if it becomes necessary.

We are busy now laying down eggs for
our winter trade. We always pack about
five hundred dozen in salt, so as to have
fresh eggs at a time of year when hens do
nothing but eat and make tracks in the
snow.

Last spring I thought I would go into the
egg business myself, as I told Mrs. Snooks,
“‘what is the use of paying from 12 to 16
cents a dozen for eggs when by keeping a
few hens you can get ’em for nothing.”

So we went into committee of the whole
on the question of hen houses and I was ap-
pointed as sub-committee on hens and ways
and means.

Mrs. Snooks moved that the committee
be instructed to procure a gentleman hen
also, as a sort of ornament.

I moved an amendment to her motion, to
the effect that two male roosters be pur-
chased.

After some debate during which Mrs. S.
claimed that I wanted to see’em fight, my
motion was carried.

In addition to paying Tom Collins ten
shillings for one day’s work, I put in about
three weeks off and on building that blessed
hen park. ButI tell you it was a daisy
when it was done.

Pickets 12 feet high and a nice shed with
an old pitchfork handle stuck through it for
the occupants to go to bed on, and a neat
little ladder painted red, for’em to climb
upon. Then I made ten nest boxes where
the hens could set in comfort and security
to meditate and lay.

Mrs. Snooks thought ten was too many
nests. But I told her that in a rush of bus-
iness the hens would need lots of ’em.

I bought a lot of speckled hens of Ika
Huntla and a big white rooster that was an
ornament to his sex. Then I bought a big
red rooster and his seven wives and intro-
duced them all to each other in their new
residence.

Instead of feeling proud of the nice new
house, as I expected they would, every last
one of them acted disgusted.

None of them were on speaking terms
with each other except a slight remark the
red rooster made to a speckled hen which
caused the white rooster to sling his left
wing down and step on it, as much as to
say ‘‘Tread on my wing if you dare, darn
you.” :

In about four minutes we had very near
enough red and white feathers to stuff our
chair cushion.

The males had fulfilled my expectations,
but the hens were a fraud from the start.
Instead of laying 25 or 30 eggs a day, as I
confidently expected, the confounded fools
seemed to spend their time gossiping and
lying about each other.

At the end of three weeks the entire out-
fit had managed with the help of the roos-
ters who made the most noise, to lay
four eggs.

‘“*That’s always the way” said Mrs. Snooks
“Roosters are just like men.”

“How so?” said I.

“Why, the men do all the crowing and
blowing, while the women do the work.”

“Oh, chestnuts!”

‘“‘It is so, just the same.”

“Well, for the sake of peace, I will admit
that hens are like women. For instance
that black hen, who has been has been try-
ing to hatch out a china egg and an old po-
tato this past week.”

‘*How do you make that out?”

*‘So much diligence wasted for nothing,
as I told you when you spent two weeks on
them pillow sh—” whack! came the broom
over my head, so I did not finish my re-
marks.

As the hens would not lay, we decided on
fattening them for the table, and we suc-
ceeded beautifully, as far as getting them
middling fat on about two bushels of corn.

Then some cuss stepped in and stole the
whole caboodle one dark night without
troubling me to help catch ’em.

Ihave a set of nests and a hen roost,
nearly new, for sale now on reasonable
terms, and we are burning the pickets for
wood. I am laying for that hen thief that
closed me out and I am buying my eggs of
farmers ag usual.

I have a neat work entitled ‘‘Profits of
Poultry Raising” which I would like to
trade fora new or second hand work on
“*‘How to Kill Mutual Insurance Agents.”

LESLIn, Noy. 16, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DrEAR Str—Having been reading in THE
TRADESMAN of the organization of various
Business Men’s Associations, I thought best
to write you. I would say that myself and
quite a few of the business men of Leslie
are looking very favorably upon the project.
Will you be kind enough to send us such
blanks and papers as we may need in the
organization of an association at Leslie?
Also tell us what would be the probable ex-
pense. Likewise would you come in person
to assist us in the organization and what
would be your charges, and when could you
come? Please answer at your earliest con-
venience. Yours,

Wan. HAYNES.
AGREEABLE DATE.
LESLIE, Nov. 20, 1886.
E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:

DEAR Srr—Yours of Nov. 19 received and
eontents noted. In reply would say that we
cannot meet on Wednesday evening, but
would be pleased to meet you on Thursday
evening, the 25th. We will endeavor to
give you a general turn out, if you will
come. Yours truly,

Wm. HAYNEs.

Association Notes.

Tue TRADESMAN requests secretaries of
local associations to send in full reports of
all meetings, and Other association news,
for publication.

A Whitehall correspondent writes as fol-
lows: The regular meeting of the Business
Men’s Association was held Tuesday even-
ing in the engine house at Whitehall, and
judging from the attendance and unusual
amount of enthusiasm manifested, the so-
ciety is in a very flourishing condition.

The White Lake Business Men’s Associa-
tion is considering the advisability of pub-
lishing a four-page, five-column paper, to
be supported by the advertising patronage of
members of the Association. THE TRADES-
MAN doubts the expediency of such 4 pro-
ject and will watch the outcome with con-
siderable interest.

date came duly to hand. It afforded me
| great pleasure to have my short acquaint-
ance
ied a continued, moreover as our views on
(a congenial subject so well harmonize. I
shall endeavor to report to you as often as
anything practical or beneficial suggests it-
self—not merely in the light of dollars and
cents, as you very properly remark; for we
of the trade in Kalamazoo are beginning to
feel the benefit of our Association in a so-
cial way. The ‘‘eutting-under” having been
mostly done away with, a cordial feeling
has been spreading and is now prevailing in
a grateful degree among the trade, and this
alone would be sufficient cause to keep up
and vigorously support the Association.
From among the three articles in the shape
of a motto attached to your letter, I would
reply to one with the remark that we are
approaching, step by step, the earlier closing
of stores. ‘You Americans work too
much,” said Herbert Spencer, on expressing
his opinion about this country; and in truth,
the common laboring man stands above
most of us in this respect.

Shortly after the Grand Rapids conven-
tion, I took pains to send a communication
(written) to some fifteen of the leading gro-
cers in as many towns near the line of the
Michigan Central Railway, setting forth the
merits and importance of local organizations,
enclosing to each copies of the constitutions
and by-laws of the State and Kalamazoo
Grocers’ Associations. I have not heard
from any of the persons addressed, but can
hardly doubt that my efforts will bring
fruits, if they have not already done so.

The subject of the next annual. meeting
of the M. B. M. A. is now being considered
by our local body and a desire to invite the
Association to meet in our big village is
growing rapidly.

In conclusion, I will say that it shall af-
ford me much pleasure as soon and as often
as I can find time to give my views in the
columns of Tie TRADESMAN, our worthy
champion.

I would be much pleased to hear from
you and am Yours truly,

JULIUS SCHUSTER.

The Grocery Market.

Business and collections are both satisfac-
tory. Sugars are a trifle weaker than a
week ago, granulated being now quotable at
a six pence above even six cents. Coffees,
like the heathen, continue fo rage, in conse-
quence of which package goods have been ad-
vanced another 44 cent. The starch manufac-
turers met in secret session at Indianapolis
last Thursday and Friday, from which it is
inferred that an advance in prices is immi-
nent, although the advance may not extend
further than to bulk goods. Valencia rai-
sins are receding from the low price touch-
ed a couple of weeks ago, and are bound to
rule considerably higher. Other articles in
the grocery line are about steady.

Fruits—Florida oranges are a shade low-
er. Jamaicas are higher. Lemons are
steady. Dates are steady and unchanged.

Nuts—Peanuts are firm. Almonds and
brazils are higher.

Oysters—Lower and firm.

A well known oyster jobber
following cireular to the trade:

You will See by to-day’s quotations that
prices are again reduced and to a very low
figure for strictly first-class goods and well
filled cans. We understand, “howev that
some parties are making a cut, n on
these low prices: and we wish to say right
here, that we are prepared to meet competi-
tion, and can make prices as low as any
one in the business, and will guarantee our
stock and fill of cans equal, if not superior
in every particular. But don’t lose sight of
this one fact, ‘‘eut prices” always means
“out fill.” If itis oysters you want, don’t
buy water. Good goods are the cheapest
and always get to the front. We mean
business, and will give you value received
every time, though 18 cents buys more than
14 or 16 in all the markets of the world.

The Drug Market.

The firm tone of the bark market in Lon-
don makes foreign quinine very firm at the
advance. There are no changes in Ameriean.
In opium, a stronger feeling seems to be
again developing, with cables of an active
and rising market abroad, on account of
damage to fall sowings by. drouth reported
in several localities. The price is steadily
advancing here. Cubebs are firm at the ad-
vance, as there are little or none to be had
in foreign markets. Canary seed is advane-
ing and very firm. Manufacturers have
again advanced glycerine. Other articles
are steady.

Cement for Bottles.

A new cement for bottles containing very
volatile liquids, which is easily prepared
and applied, and which is said to prevent
the escape of the most volatile liquids, is
composed simply of very finely ground lith-
arge and glycerine; and it is merely painted

around the joint between the bottle and the].

cork or stopper. It quickly dries and be-
comes extremely hard, but ‘an be easily
seraped off with a knife when it is neces-
sary to open the bottle.

Preferred the Saloon.

During an.affray in a Texas town a man
was shot and very badly wounded. Sym-
pathizing friends raised up the fainting
man.

“Take him to the drug store,” suggested
somebody. Slowly the wounded man open-
ed Itis eyes and whispered faintly:

‘“What’s—the—matter-—with-—the—sa-

loon?”

American Paint.

There are now sold in the United States
about $250,000,000 werth of paints every
year, and raw materials to the amount of
half this sum are consumed in making them.
Putty is made by all the big paint factories.
It is made out of whiting and the skin of
linseed oil. Itis put up by the thousands
of tons in kegs and skins, and costs about a
cent and a half a pound to make it.

A River of Ink.

In Algeria there is a small stream which
the chemistry of nature has turned into true
ink. It is formed by the union of two rivu-
lets, one of which is very strongly impreg-
nated with iron, while the other, meander-

: ing through a peat marsh, imbibes gallic

acid. Letters have been written with this
compound of iron and gallic acid which
mpite to form the little river. _

The Traffic in Narcotic Drugs.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter be-
lieves that the ‘prohibition of the indiscrim-
isa question
demanding the attention of the people as ur-
gently as does the liquor question.” Our
contemporary points out danger to posterity
from chloral- or chlorodyne-saturated wom-
and thus summarizes its conclusions?
“We require legislation, and most stringent
legislation, on this point. It must be made
a most grevious crime, punishable by the
severest penalty, for a druggist to sell any
of these drugs (and the forbidden articles
should be specified) save on the preserip-
tion of a physician who is known to him to
be a physician. How many of the feeble-
minded and idiotic children, that cost the
public thousands of dollars annually to
maintain, are the logical results of these
habits? God only knows, but man may
feel sure thag the number is very great. In
the name of humanity, as well as for the in-
terests of political economy, we emphatical-
ly say that this diabolical traffic must be
restricted, and these would-be moral and
physical suicides must be restrained of their
morbid and damning propensities.”

Miscellaneous Drug Notes.
It is claimed that cinchona trees grown
in hot houses contain no quinine.
A single manufacturer consumes one car-

| load of lead every week as an ingredient in

the production of glass lamp chimneys.

A large inerease in the consumption of
opium, morphine and laudanum is report-
ed in those counties of Georgia where pro-
hibition has been adopted.

A. down-town druggist has a parrot which
he has taught to say, ‘*What a pretty girl!”
whenever a woman, young or old, enters his
store, and they do say that a poor, weak
man can hardly get into the store to buy a
cigar on a fine afternoon.

An Irishman was summoned for refusing
to pay a doctor’s bill. Te was asked why
he refused to pay. ‘‘What for should I
pay?” said Mike; ‘‘shure he didn’t give any-
thing but some emeties, and niver a wan
could | kape in my stomach at all, at ail!”
ed

When to Give a Tapeworm Remedy.

Dr. W. C. Bennett condemns the prac-
tice of giving a remedy for tape worm to a
fasting patient. ‘‘The worm,” he writes,
“has a small head, with a long and com-
paratively large body, composed of joints
nearly independent, which, when mature,
separate (are not broken), and are discharg-
ed with the ova. The head anchors the
worm, but does not materially nourish it,
which is done by absorption by the joints
themselves. Now, give the remedy to the
patient fasting, and it is rapidly absorbed,
and the man, not the worm, gets the effect
of the vermifuge. If you give the remedy
an hour or two after a full meal, just as
the food is passing from the stomach, it is
not so Hable to be injured by digestion, but
passes with the digested food along the
length of the intestines, and the worm is
bathed with it from stem to stern and gets
its full effect. This is my experience.”

8
Afraid of “Artificial” Quinine.

The Chemist and Druggtst says there
are quarters where the reports about artifi-
cial quinine find credence, and
‘‘Within the past few days we notice that
a well-known pharmacist of the Hague, Mr.
J. Th. Mouton, who has interested himself
in the Amsterdam Quinine Works, writes to
the Dutch papers, begging them to point
out that there is no truth in the discovery,
or he says the efforts to raise fresh capital
for the Amsterdam Quinine Works will
fail, owing to the fear that the discovery is
genuine. We-have heard several times that
preliminary steps had been taken, that some
more samples were in course of analysis,
that a prospectus was nearly ready, and so
on; but hitherto no company has been ac-
tually registered.”

a
How to Detect a Morphine-Taker.

Professor Bull, of Paris, states that there
are two ways by which the morphine habi-
tue can be detected, and these are to be
foundin the skin and in the urine. The
skin will be found to be covered with little
dark spots situated in the center of little in-
durations about the size of a large shot. It
is needless to add that these indurations are
the result of the little wound of the needle,
but as these lesions are generally found on
the inside of the thighs, the patient refuses
to let them be seen, and in that case ex-
amination of the urine will prove of great
service. A few drops of tincture of iron
are put into the suspected liquid; and if
morphine be present a blue tinge will be
produced.

Vinegar and Digestion.

According to Good Health, experiments
have shown that even so small a quantity
of vinegar as one part in 5,000 appreciably
diminishes the action of saliva upon starch.
One part in 1,000 renders it very slow, and
twice the latter quantity arrests it altogeth-
er. From this itis evident, says our con-
tempary, that vinegar, pickles, salads and
other preparations in which vinegar is used
are unwholesome, especially when faken
with farinaceous food, such as bread and
other oun preparations,

Would Have Made.”
From the Western Druggist.

Mr. Jesson, as President of the Michigan
Pharmaceutical Association, would have
made an excellent officer. Mr. Wurzburg,
of Grand Rapids, will have an opportunity
to prove his qualifications and will doubtless
succeed admirably. Michigan abounds in
good ane timber,

Early Closing from the Employer's Stand-
point.
Correspondence Drnggist’s Circular.

As an employer, who desires to close his
store early, but is compelled to keep open
late to compete with his unreasonable com-
petitors, I wish to endorse the suggestion of
some of your correspondents, that it is more |
in the power of the drug clerk to start this
long-needed reform than with the proprie-
tor. Public feeling would be with him. <A
few vigorous articles written for the public
press by all of our members who know how
to handle the pen, showing the actual con-
dition of the drug trade of to-day, its long
hours, its responsibilities and its poor finan-
cial rewards, would help very materially.

What respect can the public have for a
man who washes out the dirty castor oil
bottle and puts something else in it, labels
and wraps it up, and says ‘‘thank you,” all
for the small sum of five cents, frequently
giving a chromo advertising ecard as a premi-
um for more work of the same kind?

The unreasonable and unnecessary ring-
ing of the night bell is another abuse that
could be easily corrected by a uniform
charge of twenty-five cents in excess of
purchase for every call. This is not enough
to be felt by any one really needing our
services at night, but would prevent calls
from the selfish, inconsiderate persons who
are always coming just after you have clos-
ed or before you have opened, and think be-
cause they are up every one else should be.

I think, with regard to Sunday business,
that three-fourths of it is unnecessary, but
the customs of different neighborhoods are
so various that it would be hard to make
one uniform arrangement. Loealities
should combine and arrange the hours to
suit.

LORILLARD NIGHT SCHOOL.

 

Beginning the Third Year—A Model In-
stitution. :
From the Jersey City Journal, Oct. 7.

The third year of P. Lorillard & Co.’s
night school was inaugurated last night un-
der the most favorable auspices. This is
the only institution of its kind in Hudson
county and is under the able and personal
management of Dr. L. J. Gordon. The pol-
icy of this firm toward its employees is of
the most liberal character. Their constant
aim is to uplift and help all their employees
in every possible way. The night school is
no longer an experiment, but an established
suecess. It is not only a great help to the
employees, but to the firm as well. While
the firm have made ample provision to im-
part a good, sound elementary education to
their boys and girls, they also, aim to train
them up to be men and women.

Lorillard’s school is pleasantly and cen-
trally located at Booraem Hall, on the cor-
ner of Newark avenue and Grove street.
The second and third floors have been fitted
up with every appliance to aid the purpose
in view. Everything is furnished free to
the employes. The youngsters are started
in the lowest grades, and are carried along
as rapidly and as far as their aptitude and
inclination permit. After a boy pursues his
studies in the most advanced classes of the
night school, he is sent to a preparatory in-
stitution and then to college for a complete
classical or scientific course if he wishes.
This is a standing offer on the part of the
4rm, and all bills are paid by the firm—even
the students’ boarding.

The second floor of Booraem Hall is oc-
cupied by the advance classes, game rooms,
gymnasium and club rooms. On the third
floor are the primary classes and library.
The classes are arranged in sections, each
class or section having an instructor of its
own. The rooms are decorated with en-
gravings and maps, well ventilated and heat-
ed. Valuable prizes are distributed at in-
tervals during the school year to the pupils
of all the classes for proficiency in their
studies. Promotions in the firm’s large to-
bacco factory are made on merit, and selec-
tions aremade whenever practicable from
the school.

Last evening there were 550 boys and girls
enrolled. The evening, for the most part,
was taken up in arranging, classifying and
grading the pupils. Several classes got
down to work at once, and the educational

- machinery moved very smoothly for a first
night. There were many bright faces among
the three hundred boys, while the two hun-
dred and fifty girls looked neat, tidy and
happy. A busy hum pervaded the school
rooms for an hour and a half, and then at
a signal each form became erect and silence
prevailed. A lively march ‘was struck up

oe

 

 

 

 

stairs, followed by the girls. The corps of
instructors is composed of experienced and
competent ladies. Miss K. A. Spier, of the
Jersey City High School, is principal, and
is assisted by the following teachers: Miss
C. L. Waterman, Miss M. Whitmore, Miss
J. Biedeirhase, Miss K. Warner, Miss C.
Wanner, Mrs. R. Cranmer, Miss H. Roberts,
Miss K. McGuinness, Miss Josie McAney,
Miss J. Burdock, Miss B. Simpson and Miss
B. Halsey. There are two vacancies that
will be filled in a day or two. The school
is open from Monday to Friday evenings in-
clusive every week, the hours being from
7:30 to 9 o’clock.

There are 12,000 volumes of standard
works in the library. They comprise fic-
tion, history, travel, books of reference ete.;
any book, if reputable, called for by the em-
ployees and not on the shelves is at once
purchased by the firm. In the library are
also found all the leading and latest maga-
zines and newspapers. Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday are devoted to the females,
and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to
the males for the purpose of selecting and
drawing books. The library is open on
Sundays and holidays for both sexes and is
very popular with the employees.

It is a pleasure for the Journal to
make a note of the Lorillard educational
schemes, and their example could be very
well imitated by other large firms and cor-
porations with great advantage to all parties

concerned.

Twine.
Few persons have an idea of the enor-
mous consumption of twine in this country.

One of the greatest demands for the article:

comes from the farmers, who consume thirty-
five thousand tons annually upon the self-
binding harvesters. Allowing five pounds to
the mile, this would be equal to astring
long enough to go more than six times round
the earth. It takes a length of about three
feet of twine to tie a bundle of straw. The
farmer sits on his machine, drives alone
through his grain field, and without any
assistance cuts, bundles and ties twelve
acres of wheat grain per day. To such per-

‘fection as this has that unconscionable pat-

ent monopolist, the American inventor, re-
duced mechanism for doing farm labor—
monopolist in the judgment of the farmer,
because the inventor demands a bonus of
perhaps ten dollars a machine as his patent
fee. This winter, no doubt, our grateful
farmer will, as usual, join the hue and cry
for the repeal of the patent laws.
