Good Words for ‘‘The Tradesman’ ’—Prosper-
ous Condition of the M. C. T. A.

Mr. Geo. W. Hill, the efficient Secretary
of the Michigan Commercial Travelers’ As-
sociation. sends us the following letter, and
as it refers mainly to the present condition of
the Association—in which nearly every trav-
eling man in the State is directly interested—
we print it entire:

Detroit, Mich., Oct. 25, 1888. |

Eprror MicwigAN TRADESMAN:

Dear Sir—I take pleasure in acknowledg-
ing the receipt of several copies of your val-
uable paper, and should ere this have done
so, had nota press of business prevented.

T wish in behalf of the Michigan Commer-
cial Travelers’ Association to thank you for
the interest you have taken in it. I have
heard many expressions of good wishes, and
kind words for you, and the success of THE
TRADESMAN. Long may it flourish, and be
an important factor in building up the bus-
iness of a city that is everywhere noted for
its wide-awake and thorough business men
—men who cannot but see that THE TRADES-
MAN is just such a paper as they need to
represent their interests.

The Michigan Commercial Travelers’ As-
sociation is in a very prosperous condition.
Although the mortality has been unusually
great this year, it is yet a very cheap insur-
ance. We have had seven deaths, made six
assessments, and paid to the several benefic-
iaries the total of $17,500. One death loss was
paid from the “ Reserve Fund.” We have
concessions from nearly all the leading rail-
roads of the State, and many members are
compensated in this way far beyond what
they have to pay for their assessments. We
have a class of “Social Members,” so-called,
who are entitled to all the benefits, except to
hold office and vote. They do not partici-
pate in the insurance class and are not sub-
ject to assessment for death losses. <A large
number of the members reside in, and rep-
resent the business houses of Grand Rapids.

Very Truly Yours,
Gro. W. HILL,
See’y M. C. T. A.

A Few Ch aracteristics oi Traveling Salesmen.
Says a well-known Philadelphia merchant:

The first characteristic of our commercial
traveler is that he is a man of wonderful
faith in hnman nature. What his fellow-
traveler tells him he lays by in his heart as
so much gospel. What the merchant im-
parts to him in the way of information, as to
bargains secured previous to his visit, he be-
lieves implicitly, and keeps in everlasting re-
membrance; and such is the high standard
of his faith that he often actually believes
what he says himself. Another characteris-
tic of our traveler is his well-known meek-
ness. He takes whatever room is assigned
to him by the hotel clerk, without a murmur,
“$5 aday.” Handing a fresh cigar to the
baggage-master he pays for his extra bag-
gage with a pleasant smile, and steps into
the car to occupy two seats until the conduct-
or comes along and offers him the use of the
entire car. When he arrives at his next
stopping-place, he diligently inquires if there
are any commercial travelers in town, and if
such proves to be the case, he quietly re-
mains at his hotel until his fellow-travelers
have entirely finished their canvas of that
particular place; and he has never been
known to make the slightest effort to upset
a sale or enconrage a countermand. He
never goes to a banquet but once a year.
Then, too, our traveler is never taken un-
awares, but always ready on all occasions to
take advantage of whatever circumstance
may turnup. But the crowning characteris-
tic of our traveler is his truthfulness. Ask
him for information and he at once tells you
all he knows, and sometimes even more than
he knows. He will show you his order book,
will tell you the route he intends to take,
and he has no hesitation in telling you the
prices he asks for his goods. Where under
the sun did there ever exist such a model of
all that is modest and upright as our com-
mercial traveler? In fact he is a typical
George Washington, and would rather tell
a thousand lies than cut down a single cher-
ry-tree.

 

Recklessness at a Resiaurant.

It wasa Chicago drummer at one of our
restaurants one night last week. He was
sitting at a table, digesting the hallucinat-
ing dream—that mockery of restaurant
mockeries—a modern oyster stew. Calling
the white-aproned darkie to his side, he
pointed down into the dish, and said: “This
thing must be investigated. It appears
that you have given me an oyster stew with
an oyster in it. Come! this is hardly fair.
And I aina stranger, too!” “Hey?” asked
the puzzled waiter. “I repeat, you have
given me an oyster stew with an oyster in it.
Must I pay anything extra for the oyster?”
“No—why—” “Well, that’s all right—’m
glad of it,” smiled the drummer, straighten-
ing up. “Only I don’t see how you can
make any money if you put an oyster in the
stew. Weil, it beats me how you can afford
to do it! 1 suppose you’ll be putting chick-
ens in chicken-salad—ham in ham sand-
wiches—and veal in veal pie next!”

The Boston girl is compelled to suffer
many criticisms from the illiterate Western
journalist on account of her superior culture.
One of them recently wrote that the young
lady is “‘so awfully cultured that she won't
call it ‘the sweet bye-and-bye.’ Sue ealls it

 

tne ‘ sugared subsequently.’ ”

TELLING A TRADE SECRET.

|

| A Drummer’s Story of How He Prepared Him-
| self to Win and Keep Customers.

| A reporter recently met a well-known
| drummer carrying home an armful of news-
papers and magazines, and got from him
his methods of working up trade. It shows
how amancan win success by earnestly
working for it and studying his business:

“] will reveal a trade secret, and one that
I consider a very valuable one. If read
every one of those papers nearly every week,
and a great many more not included in the
list you see here. Ireadas many papers
each week, in all probability, as does the
editor of any daily paper, and in addition I
keep up with the current literature of the
day and with all theatrical, musical and
sporting events, and am constantly ‘cram-
ming’? up on. the principal events of the
day at home and abroad. Tt is hard work,
as you can well imagine, but I believe it to

I know it has paid me.

“When L went into the business of a com-
mercial traveler I intended to make a suc-
cess of it. You know that 1 have done it.
T had a love forthe business. Most men
in the profession—for I hold that whena
business is properly done it rises to the
dignity of a profession—devoted their leis-

 

 

get, but keep customers. This was a score
of years ago.* I noticed that a customer
was more pleased to meet a drummer who
could talk intelligently upon some subject
in which he was interested than one whose
merits, outside his sample trunk, consisted
of his ability to tella good story and to
buy unlimited cigars and drinks. So I be-
gan to read. The daily papers gave mea
superficial knowledge ef everything, and 1
read both sides politically. The newspa-
pers of those days didn’t treat matters so
fully or intelligently as they do to-day.
Consequently I supplemented the informa-
tion I got there by reading weekly papers
or well conducted monthly publications
and quarterlies which treated special topics
exhaustively. Ihad both European and
American politics, and social, sectional, re-
ligious, financial and a hundred other topics
at my fingers’ and tongue’s ends.

“Tf [ had a customer in view I found out
his peculiar hobby, called on him and talked
with him abouthis hobby. That pleased
him. He became a good fly for the very
greedy spider. Of course, I didn’t forget to
mingle with my specialty asa heavy man
the low comedian element—that is, the
story-telling and joke-cracking. Nor did I
neglect the social part of my duties—that’s
what we call cigars and drinks. The
scheme worked admirably and paid well.
I got new customers and held them, be-
cause I kept pace with them on their partic-
ular hobby. Some of them, I really believe,
were glad to see me come around. I gave
up my salaried position, and went to work
on commission. The general plan worked
so well that in every city I visited I made it
a point to read the daily papers thoroughly
for their local news alune before I visited a
customer. So farasI could, while flying
about the country, { kept track of what
were distinctively matters of interest to
particular localities only. That paid, too.
It pleased customers, because it made them
think I was interested in their cities and
localities.

“My experiment had convinced me that
the newspapers were the great educators,
and from them I managed to keep posted
on art, literature, the sciences and the thou-
sand and one topics which I deemed it nec-
essary to keep acquainted with to meet the
as many different hobbies of my customers.
There were among my victims a large num-
ber of Germans and Frenchmen, and I
wanted to cultivate their trade, so 1 went to
work as methodically as [had done in my
newspaper scheme and studied both lang-
uages, and now | speak both, and have
added to my list of papers several printed
in those languages, and some of tiem pub-
lished abroad. I have also learned to read
both Italian and Spanish, and to speak a
little of each. These accomplishments are
trump cards, I find, in the West, where a
merchant is pleased to have you chat with
him in his own language.

“It has proved beneficial to me in other
ways. My knowledge of these lamguages I
have kept a secret so far as my associate
drummers are concerned. Some of these
are of German or French birth, and are
specially engaged to handle that trade in the
West and South. They have always been
free in talking about their business plans
and their engagements with persons of their
own nationality, but selling other lines of
goods. The secrets they have thus un-
wittingly put me in possession of were often
of much value.

“See what I carry around with me just
for use in case of an emergency among the
merchants of the Southwest exclusively. I
know the record of every trotting horse in
the country of any consequence, the exploits
of every running horse, the standing of
every base-ball club and every individual
player, and yet I very rarely attend a horse
race or a ball game, because I don’t have
time. Every merchant in that section is up
in that sort of thing, though, and I have to
be prepared to meet and talk with them on
these, their hobbies.”

“How in the world can you carry all this
information about with you?”

“It is easy enough now. My first ex-
perience when I adopted my newspaper-
reading plan got me into the habit of mem-
orizing. Itcame hard at first, but now it
has become a second nature with me. I
read rapidly, and I don’t believe I forget
anything I read, though so far as I can see
or know I make no special effort at memo-
rizing or charging my mind with anything,
unless it is something of special importance,
or which strikes me as a specially good
point on some subject in which I knew a
customer of mine to be deeply interested.
The whole system is easy when one_ begins
young and goes to work right. If young

Brief Reports from Various Parts of the State.

The apple crop is very short in Kalamazoo
county.

A Grand Ledge correspondent writes:
Corn is less than a half-crop and many farm-
ers have turned their hogs into the fields, it
not being worth cutting and husking.

The clover seed crop in Tuscola county
will not average to exceed| one-half the crop
of last year. The recent rains have in many
instances ruined the crop.

A report from Tekonsha says: Farmers
hereabouis feel blue over their corn crop.
Although the early frosts used it up badly,
yet it was thought that the partially matured
ea would harden. This it failed to do,
however, and little huskiug will be done.

Reports from various parts of Oakland
county are united in establishing the fact
that the crop of clover seed in that section
is very poor. Early in the season there was
a fine prospect for a good crop, but the early
frosts killed the seed. Some fields which
were on high ground and forward yielded
well, but the average crop is considerably
behind that of last year.

 

 

 

 

Candling Eggs
From the New York Commercial Enquirer.

An egg dealer advertised one day t his
week for a man to candle eggs. ‘‘The busi-
ness of an egg candler,” said the dealer, 3S
to hold the egg up against a flame of gas or
candle and to tell from the appearance of
ithe egg whether it is good or bad.”

“Does it require much skill to be an egg
candler 2”

“It takes a quick eye and experience. It
pays me to keep a candler, because I avoid
trouble with customers. I receive no just
complaints about bad eggs. | Some people,
you know, will come and tell a dealer that
two of the last dozen they bought were bad
and ask for two good eggs in exchange. They
can’t play that on me.”

An importer, who gets eggs from Hungary,
Turkey, Italy and Germany, and also from
distant sections of this country, employs
many eandlers. Hesaid: ‘We get eggs
affected with the water rot, black rot or spot.
Water-rotten eggs come from sections of the
country recently opened and not properly
drained, so that the eggs lie on damp ground.
The black rot results from the action of
gases when the egg lies too long in the nest.
The spots and ordinary staleness are caused
by age, the former, however, often by im-
proper transportation. The great test of an
ege’s quality is the free movement of the
yolk without its breaking in form. This
shows that the white is strong. If it is weak
the yolk will flow through it. An air cham-
ber,is usually a sign of age. But sometimes
an egg will show an air chamber because it
has been badly skaken up. An experienced
candler ean distinguish between these. He
has a sharpened instinct, like the men in the
Treasury who detect bad money.”

Extinction of the Small Makers at Sheffield.

The development of the cutlery business,
which has made Sheffield so famous, was
due to the labor of a multitude of small
workshops, where the labor was done by the
proprietor and perhaps his boys and two or
three hired hands. ‘This led to close com-
petilion in skill, and the whole host of small
concerns struggled to eclipse their neighbors
in the character of the work turned out.
Emulation of this character had the highest
effect in improving the skill of the different
artisans. Of late years, labor-saving mach-
inery has been by degrees putting the cutlery
trade into the hands of large establishments,
where expensive plant could be provided.
And these large manufacturing concerns
have been favored by the trade associations
of Great Britain, so that their goods were
put upon the market in preference to the
productions of smal] concerns. Under these
circumstances the small cutlery makers got
to depend upon the American market for-
orders. Of late the American cutlery de-
mand has been supplied to a great and grow-
ing extent by the home makers, and in con-
sequence the extinction in Sheffield of small
makers is imminent.

THE ‘“ FIDELITY ’’ BRAND.

Salmon That Is Not Salmon at All—Bogus | Weekly Review cf the Business Situation. |

Packing Company.
From the California Grocer and Canner.

A brand of salmon has appeared upon the
market, which is in every respect gotten up
to deceive and defraud the public. The la-
bel reads as follows; ‘‘ Columbia River Sal-
mon, Packed by the Union Salmon Com-
pany. Fidelity Brand, Anderson & Sons,
Agents, Astoria, Oregon.” The cut upon
the label is that of two clasped hands. The
Union Salmon Company is a figment of the
scheming brain of some packer who cannot
realize money fast enough by legitimate
means. The firm of Anderson & Sons,
Astoria, are of the same flimsy material as
the Union Salmon Company, and are too un-
substantial to cast a shadow. In other words,
there neither exists such a company as the
Union Salmon Company, nor such a firm at
Astoria as that of Anderson & Sons. As for
the goods thus labeled, they are ‘short
weight,”’ which is probably the only thing-in
their favor, and are known toa few people
as seconds. The real packer of these goods,
who has sought to conceal his identity be-
hind so shaliow an artifice, is the firm of A.
Booth & Co., of Astoria and Chicago. ‘The
reason for not labeling these goods with
their firm name is too obvious to require com-
ment. ‘The firm evidently belongs to that
class which does not hesitate to realize
through the worst of trade frauds, if only
tolerably certain of immunity from detection.
We are informed, from a trustworthy and
reiiable souree, that the fish packed under
the “ Fidelity ’ brand are the variety known
as steel-heads, being neither a salmon or a
sturgeon, but a sort of bastardized specimen,
combining the undesirable qualities of both,
being white in color and dry in taste. Our
informant tells us that 5,000 cases of these
fish have been packed, and are being placed
on the market, if, indeed, they have not al-
ready found a market. It is reported that
J. K. Armsby & Co., of Chicago, bought a
lot of Booth’s “Columbia river,” for $1.05 per
dozen, which we are told Mr. Booth denies.
We have just verified the report referred to
above, and are in a position to assert posi-
tively that J. K. Armsby & Co., of Chicago,
have purchased either the whole or a large
block of the “ Fidelity’? brand of the Colum-
We have further ascer-
tained that they are offering salmon in the
Kast at $1.321s, guaranteeing it Columbia
river, but refusing to name the brand. It is
almost beyond belief that such worthless
stuff should find a market at such figures.
We should advise all those in the trade to
have absolutely nothing to do with any
brand of salmon unidentified with the name
or well-known label of some reputable pack-
er. This question of fraudulent manipula-
tion of food supplies has become the night-
mare of trade, and it is a matter of surprise
that reputable houses will lend their aid to
enhance its hideousness. Trade fraud seems
to be epidemic in Chicago, and in falsifica-
tion, manipulation and fabrification of food
products, unfit to fatten the hogs from which
they manufacture their rotten lard, Chicago
need fear no rival.

SEE THROUGH IT NOW.

Mr. Heman J. Barlow, with Cody, Ball
& Co., who has the reputation of being as
well posted concerning the grocery business
as any man west of New York, on being
questioned relative to the fraudulent
“Kidelity” brand, exclaimed, ‘That settles
it! We have been having no end of trouble
over the salmon business, and have been un-
able to see through it. We are unable to
sell our customers a good brand of salmon
for less than $1.60, yet our travelling men
report a dozen or so cases where our cus-
tomers have purchased what was claimed
to be “straight Columbia River salmon” of
Chicago parties for $1.371s. The “‘Fideli-
ty is evidently what they have bought, and
they are welcome to it. The retailer will
be the sufferer by it in the end, for the aver-
age buyer is not expert enough to detect the
fraud, and upon the table the imposition is
calculated to destroy his taste for all salmon.
It is nothing more or less than a Chicago
fraud, and not half as slick as some that
have been originated there.”

“ARMSBY WILL MAKE IT RIGIIT.”

Mr. H. F. Hastings, the elephantine gro-
cery broker, said that he had not seen any
of the “Fidelity” salmon, but knew of the
purchase by Armsby, although he had not
been informed as te their true quality.
Armsby contracted with Booth fora large
amount of first-grade salmon, and when
the time for shipment arrived, the latter
found that he had “sold himself short.” He
accordingly filled out the order with the
“Ridelity” brand. Mr. Hastings, who rep-
resents Armsby at this market, said that if
anything was wrong “Armsby would make
it right,” and this statement was verified by
several jobbers. who affirmed that the
Chicago dealer was always prompt in recti-
fying errors and omissions, and invariably
makes all trades satisfactory.

«

 

EDITORIAL CONCLUSION.

As Mr. Armsby is a reputable dealer—
and more especially as the quality of the
“Fidelity” salmon has been made public—
he will undoubtediy dispose of the hybred
fish to some other Chicago dealer. We say
“Chicago dealer,’ because no jobber at any
other market would undertake to handle
such goods. In due course of time, Chicago
drummers will be offering the Michigan
trade “straight Columbia River salmon” at
from 30 to 50 cents less than Grand Rapids
wholesalers ask for goods that are “straight”
in reality as well as in name, and it remains
to be seen whether the trade will reprove
such criminal duplicity by refusing to pur-
chase, or make themselves party to one of
the vilest frauds ever perpetrated upon the
American people.

How He Guessed Her Weight.

A grocer grossly insulted Mrs. MeGoffin
the other day without intending it. She
was an immensely stout woman, and stepping
upon the scales playfully requested the
grocer to weigh her. As he adjusted the
weights he remarked that she weighed 190
pounds, which proved to be her exact
weight. ‘How did you come to guess it?”
she asked. “I am used to guessing at
weights. I weighed hogs for five years in
Cincinnati.”

TRADE TALK. |

DRY GOODS. |

Trade is a little quiet in both staples and |
faney goods. Prices in the main are steady |
and unchanged on cotton and some miscel-
laneous fabrics, but the dullness which pre-|
vails somewhat depresses the confident and |
almost buoyant tone which prevailed at the |
opening of the present month. There is a!
slight downward tendency in fine dress |
goods, such as silks satins, velvets and bro- |
cades, which is likely to become more mark- |
ed during the coming month. |

CARPETS.

In the Price Current this week will be|

found a list of quotations on staple carpets

and carpetings, and some grades of curtains.

This will be a regular feature of the paper
hereafter.

South American Quinine.

From the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.

According tothe best authorities upon
the commercial and industrial position of
the cinchona products, tke manufacture of
quinine in South America does not promise
great success. Some weeks ago we an-
nounced the receipt of the first shipment of
quinine from the factory lately established
in the United States of Columbia, and the
commercial importance of the event was
somewhat magnified by a lack of infor-
mation concerning the quality of the alka-
loid. Samples shown us _ shortly after-
ward showed the article to beof a dark
reddish color not dissimilar to the uncrys-
tallised extract of the bark which is obtain-

| ed in the initial processes in the manufac-

ture of its alkaloids. This was said to be
quinine in an impure state, but which could
be rendered of commercial quality by re-
erystallization. It was claimed, with ap-
parent reason, that even if the manufactur-
ing process were carried no further in

' South America than it had been in this

GROCERIES.

Trade is generally good, but margins are)
very meager on account of the general
drooping in the market on most goods.
Sugars are still sick, having declined ic)
since our last report. No one ventures to
state where the bottom has gone, but all are
united in declaring that prices cannot go
much lower. Coffees are still booming, and
are growing stronger daily. They have how
advanced fully 2)¢e to 3e within a month.
Foreign dried fruits are easier on the arri-
val of each transatlantic steamer, with a)
tendency to stiffen between steamers. There
is no change to note in teas. There
is the usual cry about a prospective advance,
but too many are anxious tosell to allow
dealers to take much stock in it. tetail |
dealers would do well to buy only enough |
for present wants. Tobaccos are firm at the |
late advance, with good demand. J obbers |
advise retailers to be prepared for another |
advance shortly, as present stocks are daily |
growing less, and they must pay the manu-|
facturers’ advance to replace them; in fact)
many have and are now doing so. On ac-
count of the extraordinary demand, match
manufacturers have got behind with their
orders, and as it is impossible for jobbers to |
fill orders promptly, they ask the indulgence |
of the retail trade for a short time.

DRUGS.

The drug trade is quiet, and marked by a
conservative spirit, both on the part of job-
ber and retaiier, that cannot fail to bring
about good results. Dealers are buying
cautiously and taking advantage of every
break in prices. Jobbers are conse-
quently able to meet the demands of the
trade with somewhat smaller stocks, pur-
chased at lower figures, and give the retailer
the benefit of the advantage. Castor oil is
booming, in consequence of a “eorner”’ on
the staple in New York, and oil pennyroyal
has advanced 40ce. Calomel, iodine, corro-
sive sublimate and balsam peru are on a
downward tendency.

LEATHER,

The leather trade is dul, though no worse
than it has been for some time. Dealers do
not anticipate a change for the better before
spring, even if it comes then. The condi-
tion of the Michigan trade is attributed to
the general demoralization of the business
all over the country, to the failure of crops,
and the present nearness to tax-time, the
great ‘ bugaboo” with farmers.

‘+Fitly Represents the Commercial Interests of
Grand Rapids.’’
From the American Furniture Gazette.

No one among the newspaper men of
Grand Rapids is more favorably known
than Mr. E. A. Stowe, of the Grand Rapids
Eagle and correspondent of the American

Turniture Gazette, and his many friends in
the furniture trade will wish him much
success in his new publication, THE Micut-
GAN TRADESMAN. ‘This is a weekly paper
aiming to fitly represent the commercial
interests of Grand Rapids and vicinity, and
that it will do so thoroughly and well the
initial numbers prove beyond question. Mr.
Stowe is a careful, painstaking, conscienti-
ous journalist, and his ability and industry
will doubtless make his venture a successful
and profitable one.

 

 

A sewing machine agent who was caught
courting the wife of an alleged “invalid”
husband, says;—‘‘Well, he was the healthi-
est invalid I ever saw. He was about nine-
teen feet high and had a foot like a fiddle
box. You say you never was in a eyclone ?
Ever been struck by lightning or a pile-

i worthless,”

 

 

 

 

 

driver, or run through a stone-crusher ?”.

ease, the saving in the cost of transporta-

tion on bark would be so considerable that

' the South American factory would become

a source of profit even in confining riself to
the initial processes. If the first receipts
are to be regarded as a fair indication of the
quality of the product, experts regard the
saving in the cost of transportation as_ too
trifling to offset the extra cost of re-working
the extract and the loss that is evidently
being made at the factory in the first work-
ing of the bark. The highest analysis we
have seen of the extract gives it 10 per cent.
of guinine. The quinine manufacturers
here pronounce the article “absolutely
and while this may not be
literally true, it is practically so. The
yield of quinine is not sufficient to pay for
working the bark, as compared with what
is obtained from working the extracts made
by our domestic factories. In the first
place the latter are working richer barks
than the South American, and they are also
able to extract a larger percentage of the
total salts than the Columbian factory is ap-
parently getting. The latter will probably
be able to overcome any defect in its pro-
cesses and so far perfect them as to be able
to recover all the available salt, but this will
not place it ina position of strict equality
with the factories here and in Hurope
which are working the rich cultivated barks
of East India. The best results are said to
be obtained by working the latter in com-
bination with the South American barks,
and such a combination in the South Amer-
ican factory would be out of the question.
At first sight, a factory located at the base
of bark supplies would appear to have the
advantages which were thought to be fore-
shadowed by its first shipment of so-called
quinine. The fact that the quality of the
product was disappointing has led to a more
rareful study of the project, which reveals
little strength as a competitor of the estab-
lished factories of the United States or
Europe.

 

Tea Culture in the Southern States.

“Among the new avenues to wealth
crowding on the opening steps of Southern
progress,” says the New Orleans Picayune,
“is especially to be noted tea culture. Mr.
C. Menelas, whose experiments with jute
are known to all the South, has already, on
his Mississippi plantation, some beautifully
flourishing tea plants, and there is undoubt-
edly nothing needed to cause the culture
to spring to immediate success on the Miss-
issippi except, as we may SO phrase it, the
knowledge of manipulating the product. It
would be practicable for any wealthy plant-
er, one willing to expend a few thousand
dollars for the benefit of his neighbors, to
import a man from China or India—say on
a five year’s contract—to instruct the neigh-
porhood; and we venture that a pot made
up for the purpose by a number of planters
would return interest inafew years. A
little time and patience are requisite. Tea
culture ought to be practicable anywhere in
Mississippi where there is a deep, rich soil
and first-rate drainage—the latter is im-
portant. It ought to be successful in many
parts of South Carolina and Southern Cali-
fornia.”

 

Cash cr Credit.

A correspondent of one of our exchanges
thus relates his experience of the cash and
credit system :

“ight years ago I commenced business
where L now am. I then dida credit busi-
ness, with a capital of 33,000, and in about
six years was almost busted. I had a stock
of worthless bills against A, B, C, or “ will
pay when I get ready.” Two years ago I
changed to the cash system; the consequence
is [have a fine stock of goods perfectly fresh,
for I have the money to buy when old stock
is gone. Can, and do, sell five per cent.
cheaper than when I did a credit business,
and that is drawing me more trade every day.
Having one price to rich and poor alike, and
keeping only first-class goods, is also gaining
me trade. I feel as if suecess would crown
my efforts in the end, while { think that a
man, to do a credit business, must have a
large capital to back him, and must make up
his mind in the commencement that he will
be a failure in ninety-nine times out of
a hundred, if he concludes to trust Tom,
Dick, and Harry.”

The rubber industry of the United States
has no rival in foreign countries. There is
something like $75,000,000 invested in the
business of manufacturing rubber goods,
$30,000,000 of which is confined to the rub-
ber boot and shoe industry. The total num-
per of employes is placed at 15,000, and the
total number of factories at 120. According
to a recent census bulletin the value of
the annual product is $250,000,000. Some
30,000 tons of raw rubber are imported every
year, which, when combined with other ma-
terials in manufacturing, amount to 300,000
tons. The market price of the raw materials
has been forced up to $1.25 per pound, while
six years ago the price was scarcely 50 cents.
In consequence of the advance in price,
several substances have been prepared as
substitutes for it, of which celluloid is the
most important.

The Chinese have become so well civilized
as to invent systems of adulteration in tea
that are difficult to detect, and no doubt by
the time they are all ‘“Europeanized” and
enlightened, they will sell us all the wooden
hams, imitation nutmegs, and oakleaf tea we
desire. This is a progressive age.

An eastern exchange, referring to the new
assignment law in this State, heads the ar-
ticle, ““ A Code That Favors Criminals.”

A commercial exchange which prints a long
article on “‘ Condensed Milk” is accused of
being better informed regarding condensed
lie.

 

 

With an immense coffee crop last year, of
which a large amount is yet unsold, and with
a good crop in prospect in Brazil, there is no
reason—aside from speculative ones—why
the staple should have advanced nearly 50
per cent. in six months.

 

The adoption of uniform time by the rail-
ways of this country may be expected to be
followed by a general use of railway time
in place of local time in many of the larger
cities. As Grand Rapids people have already
set their clocks ahead some ten minutes as a
matter of public convenience, they will not
object to another change. They are getting
accustomed so it.

{

 

 

 

Firms who fail, and prefer their wives and
brothers and uncles, are getting very unpop-
ular. There is a growing prejudice against
this method of making money, on the part
of all honest men. What is needed is a law
which will cover all these points, so that
when a man fails, he fails—in other words,
he loses all his money, and does not simply
put it out of one pocket into another. Such
a law would lessen failures very quickly in.
many cases.

 

 

The Merchant’s Review, of New York, |
concludes an editorial reference to the new |
assignment law in this State as follows:

It certainly will place the business men of
Michigan at a disadvantage from those of
other states in which a small capitalist is al-
lowed to pledge protection for money loaned
or endorsements given to help him ex-
tend his business or tide over a difficulty. If
the law is not changed as to preferences it
will drive thousands of small traders out of
business and deter young enterprising men
from making a start. But we predict its re-
peal.

 

The need of a National bankruptcy law
has come to be so generally recognized that
a National convention to promote such leg-
islation is to be called. The New York
Board of Trade and Transportation has re-
ceived upward of 100 friendly responses
from commercial organizations throughout
the country to the proposition to‘hold a Na-
tional convention in furtherance of the en-
actment of a uniform bankrupt law, and it
has been decided to hold a convention for
that purpose in Washington on January 16
next. {

 

 

_ American manufacturers of gold and sil-
ver plate turn out some exquisite workman-
ship, and in the main are credited with much
artistic skill and taste in their designs. Com-
plaint is not infrequent, however, that the
standard of value, or the proportion of pre-
cious metals used in the wares, is not very
high. This is occasionally discovered when
people take old plate or jewelry to a pawn-
shop or jeweler to sell by weight. The deal-
er will give but little, and the customer is
informed that his wares were not rich in
gold or silver, but a very thin alloy. In
England the government exacts a heavy tax
on all articles of plate or jewelry manufac-
tured for sale inthe kingdom. No such ar-
ticle can be offered for sale unless it has up-
on it the stamp of the government assay of-
fice, and this stamp is only affixed when the
tax is paid and the quality of the ware shown
to be up to the prescribed standard.

The expansion of the field of rail trans
portation is not limited by the extent of new
territory opened up to the roads. Formerly
a very large variety of perishable commodi-
ties could not be transported any great dis-
tance in warm weather. Now there are
some twenty kinds of refrigerator cars to
meet this emergency. Heretofore the advent
of freezing weather in this rigorous western
climate has put an end to the safe shipment |
of potatoes, and the like. Produce dealers |
have gone into all sorts of experiments and |
railroad companies have built dozens of
kinds of frost-proof cars, but nothing has
come into general use that proved an effect-
ive protection to the produce. The latest
Yankee invention to solve the question of
potato transportation is a car with double
floor, sides, and ends, and a kerosene stove
in a box underneath. By an automatie ar-
rangement the flow of oil is governed entire-
ly by the temperature of the car. As the
interior grows warm the fire dies down, and
as the car cools off the fire increases, thus
maintaining a nearly even temperature. ‘The
Eastern Railroad company has contracted
for 300 of these cars, for the use of which
shippers will pay a royalty. If successful
this invention will no doubt come into ex-

fully covered by our several patents and
perfected by many years of experiments.
It is the only permanent wall finish, and
admits of applying as many coats as de-
sired, one over another, to any hard surface
without danger of scaling, or noticeably
adding to the thickness of the wall, which
is strengthened and improved by each ad-
ditional coat, from time to time. It is the
only material for the purpose not dependent
upon glue for its adhesiveness ; furthermore
it is the only preparation that is claimed
to possess these great advantages, which
are essential to constitute a durable wall
finish. Alabastine is hardened on the wall
by age, moisture, etc.; the plaster absorbs
the admixtures, forming a stone cement,
while all kalsomines, or other whitening
preparations, have inert soft chalks, or
glue, for their base, which are rendered
soft, or scaled, in a very short time, thus
necessitating the well-known great incon-
venience and expense, which all have ex-
perienced, in washing and scraping off the
old coats before refinishing. In addition
to the above advantages, Alabastine is less
expensive, as it requires but one-half the
number of pounds to cover the same amount
of surface with two coats, is ready for use
by simply adding water, and is easily ap-
plied by any one.

organization to be known as the ‘Citizens’
Business and Industrial Association,” the
avowed object being to induce manufacturers
to locate at that place.

The Star Match Factory at Grand Haven
has a daily capacity of 500,000 gross, and em-
ploys fifty men, yet cannot fill its orders.
John Caulfield, of this city, is financially in-
terested in the concern.

 

LESSENING THE CASH DISCOUNT.

Mr. C. S. Hazeltine, of Hazeltine, Perkins
& Co., isa member of the Standing Com-
mittee on Credits and Cash Discounts of the
National Wholesale Drug Association, which
recently held its annual convention in New
York. The Committee reported in favor of
fixing the term of credit on drugs and medi-
cines at 30 days, with a discount not to ex-
eed 1 per cent. for cash; and that such ar-
ticles as alcohol, linseed oil, quinine, cin-
chonidia, morphine and opium be held as
net cash goods. The report was accepted
and adopted. Such a system has been in
operation in this State for some time, and
has worked to the advantage of both jobber
and retailer.

 

VIEW IT WITH DISTRUST.

Mr. L. J. Rindge, who has just returned
from a business trip to Detroit, says that
the wholesale dealers of that place express
great distrust of the new State assignment
law, and predict its repeal. While it is in
force, however, it will result in shortening |
credits, and restrict selling only to those |

- having good ratings, as there is no means of |
enforcing collection except to bring about |
an assignment, and a consequent deprecia- |
tion of the creditors’ claims.

Something About Voigt, Herpolsheimer &
Co.’s Two Stores.

Visiting buyers and others interested are
cordially invited to call and examine the
stock or send for wholesale prices of carpets,
cloaks, underware and dry goods generally.
Each stock is replete with all the latest

styles and qualities of goods, and prices are |

warranted to be aslow as atany market
west of New York, and in some cases lower
than the prices prevailing at that great mer-
cantile center. The wholesale dry goods
establishment, which now occupies an en-
tire building from cellar to garret, is erowd-
ed to overflowing with staples and fancy
goods. The former were purchased before
the recent advance in some grades of goods,
and consequently are sold lower than they
now command atthe manufactories. Coun-
try buyers are coming torealize that Voigt,
Herpolsheimer & Co.’s store is headquarters
for everything in the dry goods line, and are
governing themselves accordingly.
