SUCCESSFUL SALESMEN.
John L. Watson, Representing the
Fletcher Hardware Co.

John L. Watson was born over a
hardware store conducted. by his
father at Sparta, October 19, 1872. A
year later the family removed to Pe-
toskey, where his father engaged in
the hardware business in company
with O. N. Watson, under the style
of Watson Bros. Six years later the
business was sold and the father went
South for his health, when Mr. Wat-
son and his sister, who comprised the
entire farmily, went to live with their
grandparents on West Bridge street
hill, Grand Rapids. Mr. Watson at-
tended the Grand Rapids High
School as far as the tenth grade, sub-
sequently taking a one year course
at the Michigan Agricultural Col-
lege and a course of nine months at
the Grand Rapids Business College.
Concluding that the hardware busi-
ness possessed more attractions for
him than any other line, he entered
the employ of his uncle, O. N. Wat-
son, the West Bridge street hardware
dealer, with whom he remained three
years. He then entered the employ
of the Fletcher Hardware Co., of De-
troit, with whom he remained three
years—one year as order clerk, one
year as checker and one year as re-
ceiving clerk. He then returned to
Grand Rapids and entered the em-
ploy of Foster, Stevens & Co. as
clerk in the retail department, where
he remained three years. On the re-
tirement of William H. Brown from
this territory to take charge of the
traveling men and wholesale depart-
ment of the Fletcher Hardware Co.,
Mr. Watson was invited to take the
position thus vacated, which he very
gladly accepted, beginning work un-
der the new auspices September 5,
I9O!. His territory comprises a
number of good towns east and

 

north of Grand Rapids and he under.
takes to see his trade every four
weeks,

Mr. Watson was married Novem-
ber 3, 1897, to Miss Theresa Gring
huis, of this city, and resides at 403
West Bridge street.

Aside from his allegianec to Grand
Rapids Council, No. 131, U. C. T.,,
Mr. Watson is not a member of any
organization, having never aimed to
be a “jiner.”

Mr. Watson attributes his success
to the fact that he has a good house
whose lines are well advertised,
whose prices are reasonable and
whose policy is to treat the trade
right. On the other hand, his house

 

states that his success is due to his
pleasant address, “push” and energy
and the knowledge that in order to
make a success of his calling it is
necessary to hold fast to his old
friends and customers and welcome
the new with a glad hand, at which
art Mr. Watson is a Past Master.

The Saranac Advertiser tells the
following story:

J. H. Cook, who advertised an auc-
tion sale of carriages here under the
name of the Columbus Manufacturing
Co., proved to be representing the
Michigan Distributing Co., of Lan-
sing. When the buggies arrived here
Cook claimed they were made by the
W. A. Patterson Co. of Flint, but
there was no name plate on them.
Cook sold the buggies for about $900
and took all the money and left for
parts unknown. The company is not
only out the cost of the buggies but
the freight prepaid on them. The
company is trying to locate him.

The Grocery Market.

Sugars—The raw sugar market
continues very firm and prices of 96
deg. test centrifugals show an ad-
vance of %c. The raw sugar hold-
ers have been desiring to advance
prices for some time and were only
waiting for an improvement in the
demand for refined, which had not
come up to expectations until recent-
ly. The refiners hold fair stocks, but
are disposed to purchase at the ad-
vance, and it is recognized that the
advance will be maintained. The mar-
ket for raw sugar has been much
cheaper here than in foreign coun-
tries, and this fact has allowed refin-
ers to make a wide margin of profit
without fear of outside competition.
The continued activity of the refined
sugar market resulted in another ad-
vance of ten points. Many had
bought supplies at lower prices and
are now fairly well supplied. Refin-
ers, however, were convinced that
the trade would stand a further ad
vance, and they were not disappoint-
ed. This is the second advance of
ten points made by the refiners dur-
ing the past ten days, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the margin of profit
already very wide. However,
the demand at this season of the year
is usually very good and, purchases
are necessarily heavy. The present
active demand is expected to continue
for some weeks.

Canned Goods—The enquiry from
jobbers for canned goods of all varie-
ties continues active, but in
many no business results on

enquired for. Orders for corn, pie
peaches, gallon apples, and some of
the small fruits continue to come in,
only to be turned down for lack of
goods to fill them with. Buyers from
all sections are now coming to Mich-
igan for canned goods, and in most
cases the goods give such perfect sat-
that repeat orders are re-
ceived and a much larger business is

expected this coming season, as the
goods become better known. There
has been quite a little demand dur-
ing the past week for spot tomatoes,
and while there are no actual changes
in price the market is a little firmer,
and it certainly looks as if all old
stocks will be cleaned up before the
new pack is ready for the market.
Reports on future tomatoes vary to
a great extent, some sections claim-
ing that the tomato crop will not
amount to much, and others that it
will be fairly good. Unless Wiscon-
a large pack of peas, the out-
look for the future of this article is
for much higher prices. Packing in
Indiana is just about at an end, and
will not be more than half the usual
size, and some claim it will not be
that much. There is a continued en-
quiry for corn, but on account of the
scarcity of stock very little business
The abnormally
weather has retarded the develop-
ment of the corn crop. If the weath-

a shortage. There continues consid-
erable enquiry for gallon apples, but
buyers have not yet got over the idea
of wanting cheap apples, and these
cheap grades are now cleaned up and
packers are holding what little stock
they have very firmly. There is some
call for prices on future apples and
peaches, but packers, as a rule, will
not name any prices yet as the crops
are too uncertain. Pie peaches are
entirely cleaned up, and only a few
scattering lots of peaches in syrup
are to be found here and there. The
salmon situation remains unchanged,
with good demand for all grades and
with holders feeling very confident
of the future of the market. The
short pack of sardines so far has been
very discouraging and the outlook is
for very strong prices and good de-
mand.

Dried Fruits—The unusual condi-
tion of the dried fruit market contin-
ues. The consumptive demand is
very good indeed and causes stocks
of all kinds of dried fruits to move
out rapidly. The very unusual thing
noted last week of the selling now
of dried fruits that have been put in
cold storage for the summer still con-
tinues, and it certainly looks as if
scarcely anything will be carried over
into next season. The demand for
prunes continues and stocks are mov-
ing out very rapidly at full prices. As

| compared to prunes, raisins are quiet,

but still there is a good demand on
this article for this season of the
One large packer from the
follows: “The new
crop of raisins seems to be growing
The size of same stands well
to be more than an average crop, or,
in other words, 75 per cent. of as
large a crop as last year. This would
be in the neighborhood of from 40,-
000 to 45,000 tons. The distilleries
and wineries used a great quantity of
green muscatel grapes last year that
reduced the raisin crop considerably.
We do not think this will happen this
season, so that with whatever short-
ness there may be, this difference not
being used by the distilleries will
make up for shortcomings.” Peaches
and apricots are quiet, as usual at
this season, and not much trade on
these articles is looked for during the
summer months. Currants are in good
demand and prices show an advance
of %e. There is a little interest in
figs on account of the probability of
a short crop. Very little business is
noted in dates but very little is ex-
pected just at this season. There con-
tinues some demand for evaporated
apples, but little business results as
buyers are looking for something
cheap, while holders remain firm in
their views inclined to
shade prices.

Rice—Rice continues in good de-
mand at full previous prices; in fact,
there is no indication of any lower
prices, for the present at least

Molasses—The

lasses

situation on mo-
continues unchanged. There
is almost no demand at all, but hold-
ers are not endeavoring to force their
stocks on the market as they believe
that stocks are small throughout the
country and that there will be an ad-

vance in prices when the fall season
opens.

Fish—Trade in fish is good and
everything in the line is firmly held,
with alittle advance in price of
mackerel, which is meeting with a
ready sale.

Nuts—No changes of note have
been made in the prices of nuts dur-
ing the past week except on peanuts,
which have advanced %c. These
goods are meeting with an excellent
demand, but other lines are rather
qitiet, as is usually the case during the

summer.

Carpets—The large Eastern carpet
mills report business as active with
them. The initial orders have been
so large that the mills are sold up
for the whole season, and orders are
refused, and there will be a slim
chance for buyers to place duplicate
orders later in the season. The strike
in Philadelphia is a direct benefit to
the carpet mills all over the country,
and while only a few make ingrain
carpets the demand for three-quarter
goods has materially increased, as
buyers find their full complement of
ingrains slim. The Eastern mills do
not care how long the Philadelphia
strike lasts, as it brings a good busi-
They will not
advance prices this season. The
weavers in the Philadelphia Wilton,
Brussels and tapestry Brussels carpet
mills have accepted a compromise
with the manufacturers on a basis of
5834 hours, and all have gone to
work. This means that a large num-

ness to their mills.

ber of other employes will be able
to obtain employment, and the in-
grain manufacturers no doubt would
be willing to meet their employes
part way should such an effort be
made before it is too late to obtain
a part of this season’s business. Man-
ufacturers in the latter line will use
the same patterns for their spring
goods, and in this way make quite
a saving. Within the past few years
considerable agitation has been given
to the question of one sampling sea-
son for both carpets and upholstery
goods for the year. Should this agi-
tation succeed, it will be welcomed by
manufacturers. A trip among the in-
Kensington,
Philadelphia, reminds one of a Sun-
day, everything is so quiet. Cut or-
der stores report that while this is
usually their dull season, they have
in some instances found business
from the country districts very good,

grain carpet mills in

the only difficulty having been in ob-
taining enough goods to fill their or-
ders. Prices are firm to-day and on
three-quarter goods are 15 to 20 per
cent. higher than two years ago—on
some grades.

Rugs—Continue in good demand,
especially the body Brussels and
tapestry. Carpet sizes in Smyrna rugs
are not so active. The jute and wool
Smyrnas are. active in the smaller
sizes, 30x36 inches, and are sold in
excess of production. For brightness
of color and_ originality of design
there never has been a better display
Orders are reported by jobbers as
coming in freely.

NO
Against the Serpent.

Aside from mankind the snake has
many enemies. It is as if half of cre-
ation were sworn to war against him.
Even the tiny red robin fights him;
so do the nightingale and the owl
and many other birds. The mon-
goose, the ordinary house cat, as well
as many wild species of the cat family
and the pig, domestic or wild, all
fight the snake and destroy it. But
the most relentless exterminator of
reptiles is a member of the family
itself, the beautiful, lithe, yellow and
black king snake, a friend of man
and the avowed enemy of anything
that creeps or crawls, regardless of
size or poison fang. A native of our

 

own South, the king snake is between
five and eight feet long and no
thicker around than a man’s thumb.
3uilt in every muscle and bone for
speed and tremendous constricting
power, there is not another snake on
earth that can withstand his assault.
He is immune to the poison of the
cobra and of the rattler alike, and
the strength of a thirty-foot python
has no terrors for him. Within five
minutes from the opening of the
fight the king snake could kill the big-
gest python that ever lived. Ferocious
as the little constrictor is toward
his own kind, toward man he is
friendly, and rarely tries to escape
when met afield. If picked up in the
hand he will coil about his captor’s
arm, evidently pleased at the exhi-

bition of friendliness.
Oe

Would This Scheme Always Be Re-
sultful?

There is a store in Brooklyn where
a possible customer never escapes
until every means of making a sale
is exhausted.

A few days ago a young man en-
tered the store and asked to see a
calf button boot, with Cuban heel,
displayed in the window. His size
was 5-AA, and being well acquainted
with the stock, the salesman appeared
doubtful as to whether he could sup-
ply the desired size in button, al-
though he easily found it in_ lace.
This was unsatisfactory to the cus-
tomer, whe was apparently determin-
ed to get what he asked for or noth-
ing. Undaunted, the salesman brought
forth another and still another style,
and at last, when the young man de-
cided to look elsewhere, the clever
salesman brought the shoe asked for
and the sale was made immediately.

When the customer went out the
salesman was asked why he did not
bring out the shoe at once and save
time. He replied:; “If I had shown
that shoe first he would have asked
to see the others anyway. With my
way he was made to think that he
had been exceedingly lucky and con-
sequently bought the shoes without

question.”

What Brand?

A handsome young woman, wear-
ing a close-fitting suit of blue, appear-
ed at the corner of Broadway and
Fulton street shortly after noon yes
terday. She looked in despair at the
sea of mud and water before her.
Then she leaned over and clutched
her skirt very low, and about twenty
men stopped and rubbered. Very
slowly the skirt came up, but instead
of high-heeled shoes and a foot or
two of open-work stockings, it re-
vealed a pair of rubber boots. The
rubber-necks tried to look the other
way quickly when they saw how they
had been fooled, but they were not
quick enough to miss the sweet
smile which the young woman sent
back in their direction as she step-
ped out into Broadway.—New York

Refused To Indorse a Check.

While women cause considerable
amusement and stir things up gen-
erally in banks every little while,
there are men supposed to know bet-
ter who also do foolish things.

One day a man who has since been
in business, made money and retired,
entered a Kalamazoo bank and pre-

sented a check, which was not his
own, for payment. The check was
drawn upon the bank where it was

presented and had been duly indorsed
by the maker, but the teller handed
ii back with the request that the man

who presented it write his name
across the back.
“Why, I never heard of such a

thing,” he exclaimed.

“Tt’s a rule that must be observed,”
remarked the teller, who was peer-
ing around at the next fellow in line.

“What mean? Ain’t this
check good?”

“The check is perfectly good,” re-
plied the teller, “but before we can
it must

“What's that for?”

“Tt’s so that we will have a record

“Aha, that makes me responsible.”

“Seems to me that you should be
willing to bear a little of the respon-
sibility—you get the money.”

“Well, I won’t write my name on
the back of that check.”

“Then you can’t get it cashed in
this city.”

“Do you refuse to pay me _ the
money on that check?”

“I do, until you indorse it.”

“Do you say that check isn’t

good?”
“No, sir, that check is perfectly
good.”

“Then why don’t you pay it?”

“I’ve told you why I won’t pay it.”
The man turned away, walked out
the entrance of the bank

About the middle of the month the

spring season in piece goods will be
in full swing. Staple lines of serges
and low grade woolens, the conspic-
uous lines, were opened up several
weeks ago at last year’s prices. On
the cheap low-grade standard serges
the mills have already sold up and

withdrawn their lines. Owing to the
apathy of buyers the American Wool-

en Company has, at this writing, de-

ferred the opening of its thibets
and similar fabrics, and will only
show its crashes, homespuns and
low-grade wool goods of a strictly
summer character until the interest
of buyers becomes more fully awak-
ened. Other leading mills will un
doubtedly follow this action on sim

at a dollar and below.

look now it seems as if serges and
flannels are going to be better prop-
erty for the future than homespuns
Yet the fact must not be lost sight
of that outside of the large cities it
is probable that a great many men
have not yet had homespuns, which
have been so fashionable in metropol-
itan cities this summer, and hence it
is probable that in the country the
homespun has a future, as it has yet
to feel its way to popularity there.
A great many of the successfu

and exacting.

Liability for Damage by Flood to
Merchandise in Transit.

A good deal has been written and
spoken about the appalling disaster
by flood at Kansas City and other
points, and now that the first shock
has been somewhat recovered from,
there remains the question of deter-

mining who is to pay the damage.

 

Representatives of the railroad com-
panies have visited a number of shoe
manufacturers and jobbers and the

t
t
question of damages has been dis-

i
cussed, but no one appears to be
willing to make an overt act.

Under the common law a railroad

company is not responsible for mer-

chandise damaged or destroyed in
transit if the cause of such damage
or destruction was beyond human
prevention or avoidance. Such dam-

age is usually designated in the con-
tracts as an “act of God.”

Learned What Checks Are For.

A Saginaw woman recently opened

by

wrenches.”

an account at one of the banks
depositing $500. She got a fair sized
checkbook and went away. The nov-
elty of the use of a checkbook im-
pressed her so well that she gave a
check for about everything she pur
chased. After depositing the $500 she
kept away from the bank with the
single exception of calling for her
book after it ha

by the clerks. She had given many
checks, but did not know just how

d been written up

many, and when she opened the book
lad to find that the total
her withdrawals was not

more than $375

She accepted the bank’s word that

into consideration the fact that pos-

sibly some of her later checks had
not reached the bank in the regular
channel of business.

She was rather anxious to use the
checkbook up, so she sent checks
right and left in payment for pur-
chases, but did not take the precau-
tion of depositing more money.

One day she found a note from the
bank in her mail and it was to the ef-
fect that her account was largely

“T don’t know what this means,”
she said to herself, and dismissed it
from her mind while she endeavored
to dispose of the score or more of
checks remaining in her book.

The next news she got from the
bank was to the effect that her check
had been protested, and it was made
plain to her that in addition to ad-
justing her account there was a
charge of about $1.50 arising from
the protest on her check.

Hastening to the bank she accosted
the teller and demanded to know
what the bank meant by such pro-
ceedings. She was told that her ac-
count had been overdrawn and that
the bank had advised her, but she
had paid no attention to it and the
bank was compelled to protest her
check as her actions were a little

“Why, here,” she exclaimed, and

she almost threw her book at the

teller, “by your figures you owe me

S¥2¢.”
The teller took the book and open-
ing it called her attention to the fact

that the book had been written up
some three months before, and that

since that time she had given checks

amountin

“Well, what on earth are these
things for, then?” and she exhibited
a half dozen blank checks still at-
tached to her checkbook.

SUCCESSFUL SALESMEN.

A. B. Jourden, Representing Fletcher
Hardware Co.

Archie B. Jourden was born in
Colfax township, Wexford county,
July 8, 1872. He enjoys the distinc-
tion of being the third white child
born in Wexford county. His father
was born in Ireland and his mother
was of Irich descent. He attended the
country schools of Wexford county,
completing his education at the Fer-
ris Industrial School, at Big Rapids,
where he pursued the English course,
taking a third grade certificate with
a view to fitting himself for a teacher.
One months experience in wielding
the ferule convinced hi
not care to follow his c
sion and he accordingly took a clerk-
ship in the general store of the late
H. M. Patrick, of Harrietta, where
he remained two years. He then con-

 

 

cluded to become a dentist and de-

ds At the end of that time, he con-
141 + he i 1 ‘ } ”
cluded that he did not want to be a

dentist after all, and engaged in the
mercantile business in the capacity
of clerk in the general store of Jos
eph Matevia & Son, at Boon. Nine
months later, he resigned to take
of the Wexford county poor farm,
which position he occupied two years
He then entered the
Thomas Wilson, hardware dealer at
Sherman, where he remained two

charge of the agricultural department
employ of

and one-half years, retiring to take
charge of the implement department
of E. Gilbert, of the same place. Two
years later he engaged with the Deer-
ing Harvester Co. to travel on the
road, covering Northwestern Michi-
gan and at the end of his first season,
he was offered a position as traveling
representative for the Fletcher Hard-
ware Co., of Detroit, which position
he still retains.

Mr. Jourden was married Feb. 17,
1895, to Miss Hattie A. Taylor, of
Sherman. They have one child, a
daughter 4 years of age. He is an
attendant of the Methodist church
and a member of the F. & A. M. and
Eastern Star lodges of Sherman and
also of the K. of P.

Mr. Jourden attributes his success
to hard work. While he has no par-
ticular hobby, he is a crank on base-

 

 

ball, although his crankiness exhibits
itself as a spectator and not as a
player.

States of Michigan, Indiana and
Ohio, grew robust and healthy again.
It was not until then that I got back
to a credit plan again.

Sut it was a new kind of credit sys-
tem—one which has awakened the
enthusiastic commendation of the
merchants. It is really a combina-
tion of the cash and credit ideas.
During the week I operate on a cred-
it system; Saturday night I go back
temporarily to the cash idea. The re-
sult is eminently satisfactory to all
parties concerned. The grocer across
the street now treats me with a con-
sideration and respect that has in-

The Futility of Expecting Something

That is what a large number of
people are looking for, and they gen-

he bought the glitterin’ brick. Nat-
urally one says a man’s a fool to of

not so big a fool as the one who be-

There is one woman poet in New
York who will read proof carefully
until the edge of a recent error wears
off. She spent two days on a touch
ing poem, the pivotal line of which
read: “My soul is a lighthouse keep-

it the line read: “My soul is a highc

The First Step

This man is writing for our 1903 catalogue;

something has happened in his store that has

made him think, and when a man gets to thinking

once, somethin, generally moves.

This time it is that pound and ounce scale

that’s going to move; he’s tired of having his

clerks give overweight.

Tried it himself and found it was the scale,

not the clerks’ fault.

Now he is trying to find out what this Near-

weight Detector is

so much.

Manufacturer—You Say in your ad-

shoes are smart, snappy, made in all

Dealer—That’s about it.

SUCCESSFUL SALESMEN.

E. S. Wiseman, Representing Hazel-
tine & Perkins Drug Co.
Emmet S. Wiseman was born in
Lisbon, Mich., September 27, 1865.
When he was four years old his pa-
rents removed to Big Rapids, where,
at the age of thirteen years, he en-
tered the drug store of Dr. A. W.
Hendryx,

where he ‘remained five

years, until the store was sold to
Webber & McGregor. He then en
tered the employ of Willard Jefts,
with whom he remained seven years,
when he purchased the drug stock of
C. H. Smith, of Stanwood, which he
continued for three years, when he
sold the stock to C. O. Boynton and
returned to Big Rapids to take charge
of the undertaking business of his

father, which he carried on in a sat-

  

 

 

 

 

  

then purchased tl lrug stock of A
I Hawk, of Remus, which he con
tinued yur ve S be g succeeded

Mr. Wiseman is a

Shrine degrees

of his cus-

 

tomers that he could be depended

f
ad

upon to as he agreed, at all
l

times and under all circumstances,
gave him an advantage many travel-
ing men do not possess, particularly
in the drug line. Having been reared
to manhood, and done business in
that portion of the State in which he
now travels, he naturally obtains and
succeeds in retaining a large portion
of the patronage of that territory.
Mr. Wiseman’s strongest point, prob-
ably, is the fact that he 1s the same
every day; that he seldom changes

his opinions or his methods or his
practices. He goes on every day in
the even tenor of his way, fully con-
vinced that the pleasures and rewards
of this world come to the man who
is stable and steadfast and not to the
man of meteoric disposition who is
enthusiastic one day and downcast

the next.

The Drug Clerk of a Generation Ago.

The young of to-day hardly real-
ize what was the life of the drug
clerk of not so very long ago. They
opened the store before six in the
morning and tended to business till
ht. They swept and scrubbed
the floor and scoured the fixtures and
did all other cleaning; they shoveled
the snow from the sidewalks; they
pumped oils and other nasty stuff
from barrel to barrel—in fact, they
did all the heavy and dirty work now
mostly attended to by boys, porters,

midnig

or the machine. They pounded away
at heavy iron mortars and labored
at the old worn out drug mill for
days at a time, until their hands
were blistered, and them muscles
cramped with pain; they slept under-
neath the prescription counter on
couches a twentieth-century convict
would sneer at, and they were rung
out of bed a dozen times a night
to compound medicines in unheated
rooms with the thermometer fooling
around the 20-point.

This and more is what the poor
drug clerk of yore did, and his pay
1e average was less than what
they of to-day earn; and with all
this he filled in his leisure moments
to cram his cranium with useful and
agreeable lore. But hard and ex-
acting as it was, it proved a good
school to the embryo pharmacist, for
1ere is nothing better than experi-
ence, when manual work—actual do-
ing—goes hand in hand with intel-

 

lectual exertion. The education re-
-eived in that school to those men
was of inestimable value, and brought
forth those great men who consti
the galaxy of bright luminaries
in American pharmacy.—Western

Like a Moses on Sinai.

In contrast with the agitators, the
grafters, the blackmailers, the extor-
tionists, the boycotters and the cheap
politicians that infest the ranks of
tradesunionism to-day, P. M. Arthur
stands out in a halo of clear light
like a Moses on Sinai. Organized la-
bor will not soon see his Jike again!

A traveling man who covers Kansas
relates an experience he had in a
small town in that state. He regis-
tered at the hotel pointed out to
him by the conductor as the best in
town. In the morning he wanted to
take a bath and consulted the pro-
prietor about it. The proprietor
shouted back to the rear: “Here,
Tom, this here gent wants to take a
bath. Bring the fixin’s.” Tom soon
appeared, carrying a cake of yellow
soap, a towel and a pick. “What’s the
pick for?” asked the guest. “Why,”
said the proprietor; “you'll have to
dam up the creek.”

Annual Meeting of the Valley City
Milling Co.
The annual meeting of the Valley
City Milling Co. was held at the of-

fice of the company in this city Tues- |

day forenoon, resulting in the elec-
tion of the following gentlemen as
directors: Wm. N. Rowe, Wm. S.
Rowe, Fred N. Rowe, L. Fred Pea-
body, A. B. Merritt, Henry Raman
and E. G. Studley.

At the meeting of the directors, of-
ficers were elected as follows:

President—W. N. Rowe.

Vice-President—Wm. S. Rowe.

Secretary—L. Fred Peabody.

Treasurer—-A. B. Merritt.

The Valley City Milling Co. was
organized by Mr. Rowe twenty years
ago next February. The first year the
mill had a capacity of 150 barrels per
day, the total sales being anly about
$200,000. The several mills owned
by the corporation now have a total
capacity of a thousand barrels per
day and the sales last year aggregated
$1,500,000.

Manager Rowe has recently ac-
quired all of the stock owned by the
Swensberg estate, which gives him
a controlling interest.

Men.

One of the unique hotels in Indiana
is at Cannelton. It is called, accord-
ing to the sign, “The Sunlight Hotel,
or Drummer’s Home.” George W.
Pohl, who is probably known to
every traveling man in a dozen states,
is the proprietor. There are twenty-
two rooms, each lighted by electricity
and heated with steam. In each room
are three rocking chairs. On the
stand is always a dish of fruit and a
stick of chewing gum. On the wall
is a large cushion, in which are stuck
pins, needles, with white and black
thread, and an assortment of buttons.

Writing material is on the desk
and towels, two kinds of soap, with
comb and brush and whisk broom and
plenty of rain-water on the wash-
stand, are provided. A_ full-length
mirror adorns each room. In warm
weather pictures of winter scenes
hang on the walis, and in winter sum-
mer scenes are depicted. The beds
are of feathers, two pillows and a
bolster of feathers, and all over the
walls are little knickknacks and bits
of fancy work.

The rooms are not numbered, but
are named after the states. A travel-
er can thus sleep in New York one
night and in California the next. In
each room is a telephone, that con-
nects with the office and with the
exchange, so that the occupant can
talk with any one he desires, without
leaving his room.

The fire escapes are long ladders,

|set in flush with the building, which

can be dropped by loosening a hook—
the simplest contrivance imaginable.
The hotel entrance and hall to the
dining room is built to resemble a
steamboat cabin, lighted at night with
one hundred and fifty tiny electric
lamps.

The writing room has a long desk,
supporting a well-assorted library. On
the desk are paperweights, blotting
pads, etc., and attached to a chain
are a dozen or more pencil tablets. A
sign requests these be used for figur-
ing on, instead of the hotel stationery.
Traveling men from every part of
the country send suggestions to Mr.
Pohl and he carries them out as near-
ly as possible. He established a mag-
nificently furnished those
who had to wait for late steamboats.
In the dining room large and beauti-
ful panels excite the
the guests. When he needs more ta-
bles he pulls down a panel and it is
a table on hinges.

room for

admiration of

Next to the dining room is a room
in which are stored a number of bug-
gies and carriages. If more room is
needed a door set with beautifully
stained glass is opened. The opening
of this door opens several others, and
through the latter the buggies and
carriages disappear, and in a short
time tables are spread and the ban-
quet hall is ready.

At every turn there is a sign of
some kind to tell you what you want
to know. For instance, on the big
office clock appears the word “Yes,”

the significance of which is, “Yes, this

clock is right.” Every kind of a trick
or device that the busy mind of the
commercial traveler can suggest has

been put into use by Mr. Pohl, as far
as possible.

The table is as novel as the rest of
the place. There is always fruit on
the table and it is always prepared
for the eating. Anything in the mar-
ket is served, and if it is not in the
local market, the landlord sends to
the market where it can be found, no
matter how distant.

In other words, this is the drum-
mers’ ideal hotel. It is a good place
for them, but not much of a money-
maker for Pohl, because he is under
so much expense, and for the further
reason that he is continually spend-
ing money to carry out the sugges-

tions made by traveling men.

Hides, Pelts, Tallow and Wool.

The strike of the cellar men in
Chicago is still unsettled. A few have
returned to work and others are likely
to follow. Dealers are light handed
and sold ahead and have more con-
tracts than they can fill. All orders
are turned down not
quotable except by packers, who are
free sellers of old saltings at lower
values.

Prices are

Pelts are in light offering and there
is a good demand at good values.

Tallow has sold fairly free, but at
no higher values. The demand is
not large, but holders are not inclined
to let go at the low prices.

Wools are strongly held in the
State above Eastern ideas. Sales
have stopped and buyers have gone
home. There are a few orders from
the East, but at prices below holders’
views. Manufacturers say they want
it and others say they will look on a

while before investing at present
prices. Wm. T. Hess.

Opportunities!

Did you ever stop to think that every
piece of advertising matter you send out,
whether it be a Catalogue, Booklet, Circu-
lar, Letter Head or Business Card, is an
opportuniiy to advertise your business?
Are you advertising your business rightly?
Are you getting the best returns possible
for the amount it is costing you?

If your printing isn’t THE BEST you can get,
then you are losing opportunities. Your print-
ing is generally considered as an index to
your business. If it’s right—high grade,
the best—it establishes a feeling of con-
fidence. But if it is poorly executed the
feeling is given that your business methods,
and goods manufactured, are apt to be
line with your printing.

Is YOUR printing right? Let us see
if we cannot improve it.

MICHIGAN TRADESMAN

 

 

THE OLEO DECISION.

Full Text of the Supreme Court
Opinion.

The Tradesman takes pleasure in
presenting to its readers the full text
of the unanimous decision of the
Michigan Supreme Court in the oleo
case of Bennett vs. Carr, in which the
statute prohibiting the coloring of
oleo is held void, as follows:

Relator is an Inspector of the State
Food and Dairy Department. On the
24th day of February, 1903, he made
complaint before the defendant, a
Justice of the Peace of the county
of Muskegon, charging one Martin
Aamodt, with having sold one pound
of oleomargarine contrary to Act No.
22 of the Public Acts of 1901. The
respondent refused to entertain the
complaint and issue warrant, on the
ground that the complaint stated no
offense under the provisions of said
act, and that said act is unconstitu-
tional and void. Relator thereupon
applied to the Circuit Court for the
county of Muskegon for the writ of
mandamus to compel the respondent
to issue said warrant and proceed
with the examination. The Circuit
Court sustained the action of the re-
spondent and the case is now before
us for review upon certiorari.

The statute in question reads as
follows:

“Section 1. No person, by himself
or his agents, or servants, shall ren-
der or manufacture, sell, offer for
sale, expose for sale, or have in his
possession with intent to sell, any ar
ticle, product or compound made
wholly or in part out of any fat, oil
or oleaginous substance or compound
thereof, not produced from unadulter-
ated milk or cream from the same,
which shall be in imitation of yellow
butter produced from pure unadul-
ated milk or cream of the same; pro-
vided, that nothing in this act shall be
construed to prohibit the manufacture
or sale of oleomargarine in a sepa-
rate and distinct form, and in such
manner as will advise the consumer
of its real character, free from color-
ation or ingredient that causes it to
look like butter.”

The complaint charges Mr. Aamodi
with unlawfully selling one pound of
oleomargarine, “Made wholly or in
part of fat, oil or oleaginous sub-

 

 

stance or compound thereof,” as fol-
lows, to-wit:

ee 11.75 per cent.
ee 1.34 per cent.

Beef fat, lard and cottonseed oil,
ee 79.24 per cent.
Salt and other mineral matter,
a 4.54 per cent.
Ce 3.13 per cent.
Said article, product or compound
not being then and there butter pro
duced from unadulterated milk or
cream from the same, and being then
and there in imitation of yellow but-
ter produced from unadulterated milk
or cream from the same, and not be-
ing then and there oleomargarine in
a separate and distinct form and in
such manner as would advise the
consumer of its real character, free
from coloration or ingredient that
would cause it to look like butter,
but that the said oleomargarine was
then and there of a yellow color in

 

imitation of butter, said color not
being then and there produced by
the addition of any artificial coloring
matter, but said color being produced
solely by the said ingredients therein
contained, the said ingredients here-
inbefore set forth having been select-
ed and used in the manufacture of
said oleomargarine in such manner
and in such quantities and proportion
as to produce the oleomargarine that
was then and there in imitation of
yellow butter produced from unadul-
terated milk or cream from the same,
contrary to the form of the statute,”
etc.

The oleomargarine so purchased
was manufactured in the city of Chi-
cago, State of Illinois, by one Mox-
ley, a resident of said city, and was
sold by said Moxley to said Aamodt
in the usual course of trade, and by
said Aamodt was sold in the usual
course of retail trade, in the same
form and condition, and in the orig-
inal package, in which it was receiv-
ed by Aamodt from Moxley.

It is conceded that this oleomar-
garine has a yellow color, similar to
butter, but the color is not produced
by any artificial coloring substance
or ingredient used for the purpose of
coloration, but is produced solely by
the selection and use, in proper pro-
portions, of the substantial, recogniz-
ed, legal and necessary ingredients
of commercial oleomargarine.

Does the complaint state an of-
fense covered by the statute? The
answer depends upon the construc-
tion to be given to the statute. The
relator contends that the statute cov-
ers all products which look like yel-
low butter, and that it is immaterial
whether such color is produced by
authorized and legal constituent food
ingredients. The respondent contends
that the statute is aimed only at the
use of ingredients used solely for the
purpose of producing the yellow col-
or, and does not prevent the manufac-
ture of an article whose color is nat-
ural, genuine and not an imitation
Penal statutes must be construed
strictly and can not be extended by
construction beyond the intent of the
act as expressed on its face. The
conditions existing at the time the
statute was enacted and the mischief
to be remedied are important factors
in construing penal statutes. Two
acts covering the same subject must
be construed as in pari materia, and,
if possible, effect given to both.
These are elementary rules of con-
struction. At the time the statute in
question was enacted the only method
in use in causing oleomargarine to
look like yellow butter was the intro-
duction of some extraneous coloring
matter. This was the mischief to be
remedied. We clearly so understood
in People vs. Rotter, where, speaking
through Chief Justice Hooker, we
said of this statute: “The statute un-
der consideration does not prohibit
sales of oleomargarine which is not
tainted with the prohibited ingredi-
ent.”

The Legislature has defined oleo-
margarine which may be manufac-
tured and sold in this State. It is
conceded that the respondent has
complied with this act. If we give

 

the enlarged construction to the stat-
ute now in question, as urged by the
relator, it follows that the Legislature
has prohibited the manufacture and
sale of a valuable article of food, the
natural color of which resembles yel-
low butter (itself almost universally
colored by extraneous matter). The
manufacturer of such a product, if
he sold it at all, would be compelled
to introduce some coloring matter so
as to make it look unlike the yellow
butter of commerce. These two stat-
utes must be construed together. The
article sold by the respondent is
clearly authorized by the first act.
The latter act does not in terms pro-
hibit its sale and manufacture. It
does prohibit the use of any sub-
stance for the sole purpose of produc-
ing yellow color. The use of such
coloring matter was the sole mischief
then known to exist and the only
danger to be apprehended and guard-
ed against.

A similar statute was passed in New
Jersey and the like contention was
made to support a conviction, and the
court said: “To construe the statute
so broadly would render it practically
prohibitive of the sale of all oleomar-
garine, for, of course, the compound
must derive color from its ingredients,
and such a prohibition has manifestly
not been declared.”

Our statute is copied verbatim from
that of Massachusetts. A superior
court of that State, in a case just de-
cided, has held that the statute ap-
plied only to extraneous substances
or ingredients which cause the prod-
uct to look like butter, and not to
cases where the ingredients them-
selves naturally produce the color.

The Supreme Court of the United
States so held in regard to the same
statute.

The term “ingredient,” used in the
statute, does not refer to the ingre-
dients essential to produce the article
as defined by the Legislature, but to
an ingredient used to produce color.
The maxim noscitur a sociis applies.

Under this disposition of the case
it becomes unnecessary to discuss any
constitutional question. The order is
affirmed. The other Justices concur-
red.
