MICHIGAN KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP.

 

Espousal of a Worthy Cause.
LANSING, May 10, 1890.
Editor Michigan Tradesman:

I wish, through your paper, to call the atten-
tion of the Mic higan Knights of the Grip to the
matter of the recent death of our brother, Chas.
B. Remington, of Fenton. I have been in cor-
respondence with Mrs. Remington and find that |
she is left with very limited resources, as they
did not own the home where they lived.
somewhat in debt,

but afew weeks apart. She has one daughter,
who is in poor health. Mrs. Remington had
supposed there was an insurance feature con-
nected with our organization and hence antici-
pated some benefits from this source. I have
assured her that “the boys”
her and that they will soon give her some sub
stantial evidence to that effect. — has not in
anyway solicited or asked aid of me, but I think |
everyone of us will consider it a pleasure, as
well as a duty, to oaulnane what we can afford |
to for this cause. W. V. Gawley
street, Detroit, as tres asurer 2
fund, has already collected over #150 in #1 sub
scriptions. Let us all respond to this call.
Fraternally yours,

Progress of the United Travelers.

DETROIT, May 10, 1590.
Editor Michigan Tradesman:

The Detroit Council United Commercial Trav-
elers of America held its annual session on Sat-
urday evening, April 26, but, owing to the night
being a very stormy one, there was not a full
attendance; consequently, the election of officers
was deferred until the last Saturday evening in
May.

We
not too strongly recommend it to the travelers
of Michigan. The first accident claim (8139.28)
from a Michigan member has been presented by
Counselor F. B. Hare, of Detroit, and promptly
paid by the Supreme Council. The indemnity
feature alone is sufficient to entitle it to the
favorable consideration of the traveling men of
Michigan, but that is by no means its only desir
able feature. I am confident that none who join
us will ever have occasion to regret it.

The Condition of Trade.

From the New York Shipping List.

Notwithstanding the unsettling fea-
tures that still characterize the business
situation, trade is developing a fair
amount of activity for this season of the |
year, and, so far as can be judged by the
usual guide-posts, is of satisfactory pro-
portions, the distributive movement of
merchandise and produce being in excess
of last year, speculative trading show-
ing a material expansion in volume anda
distinct buoyant temper; bank clearances
are in excess of last year, and a more
bullish temper prevails respecting the
future, but in the face of these favorable
influences that have recently come to the
surface, there is more or less cause for
uneasiness that makes the outlook less
promising and has a tendency to disturb
confidence. There is uncertainty as to
the result of the labor agitation now in
progress in this country as well as in
Europe, not because of the eight-hour
day, but as to the effect it will have upon
the cost of production; the silver ques-
tion is unsettling values all over the com-
mercial world, and speculation based
upon the probable action of Congress in
this matter is felt to bea dangerous un-
certainty; tariff probabilities have a re-
stricting influence, and exaggerated re-
ports respecting damage to the wheat and
cotton crops create a feeling of distrust
regarding the future. This last named
feature is responsible for the feverish
excitement that has been witnessed in the
wheat market for several days past, caus-
ing a sharp advance in values and a
heavy speculative movement, but the
boom is due more to the influence of
speculative deals than to the effects of
actual injury to the growing crops, and
hence a sharp reaction is in prospect.
Floods in the Mississippi Valley have
eaused injury to sugar and cotton and
drouth has been unfavorable for winter
wheat, but it is too early to foreshadow
with any accuracy the ultimate results

of the set-backs. Meanwhile, however,
the receipts of breadstuffs continue

heavy and for the present the question
of available supply will be amore po-

tent factor in controlling prices than
crop prospects. The advance in cotton

appears to have a more substantial basis,
a further falling off in receipts and close
absorption of the quantity in sight in-
dicating much closer relations between
supply and demand than supposed. Wall
street seems to pay but little attention to
railroad wars in the West, for the stock
market has continued to reflect a buoyant
temper regardless of the fact that the
active cutting of passenger and freight
fates is still reported. London has been
a large buyer of railroad securities dur-
ing the past week, but local trading is
still chiefly of a professional character.
The purehases for foreign account are
reflected in the easier rates of foreign
exchange, on account of the supply of
security bills that have been offering.
So far as the merchandise markets are
‘ concerned, there has been no important
change since the close of last week.
Dry goods have been in better request,
iron continues dull and easy, anthracite
coal slew of sale, staple groceries quiet,
hides and leather firm and active, with
the boot and shoe trade in good shape,
and metals have developed no new feat-
ure. Money is generally steady and mer-
ceantile collections are said to be fairly
good.

Bay City—The loss by the Bousefield
Woodenware Works fire aggregates
$80,000, and the insurance adjusters are
at work settling the claims. Itis not yet
decided whether the works will be re-
built.

Detroit—V. P. Foster and W. D. Hitch-
cock, of Chicago, and John B. Corliss
and M. H. Chamberlain, of Detroit, have
incorporated as the Western Paving and
Supply Co., with $50,000 capital, all
paid in.

Vassar—The new sawmill built by
McHose, Talbert & Phillips began opera-
tions last week. The mill has a stock of

over 1,000,000 logs in boom, and a lum- |

ber yard will be started in connection
with the mill.

Spring Lake—The Cutler & Savidge
Lumber Co. has built seven miles of log-
ging road from Fruitport east to its
camps, the logs gotten out the past win-
ter will be railed to Fruitport, and rafted
down the lake to the mill.

Muskegon—The mill of the North
Muskegon Shingle Co., better known as
the Hitchcock & Mernan shingle mill, has
been sold to Alex. Rodgers, Sr. The
transfer also includes the mill site. Mr.
Rodgers will move the mill to Tomahawk,
Wis.

St. Ignace—J. B. Kanouse & Co., who
have leased the Mackinaw Lumber Co.’s
sawmill, started up last week, having
3,000,000 feet of logs of their own to saw
and contracts for sawing enough more
logs to keep the mill running for the
season.

Jackson—The Jackson Plumbing, Heat-
ing and Lighting Co. was closed on the
8th on an attachment, held by the De-
troit White Lead Co., to collect a claim
of $1,600. The action was. precipitated
by the withdrawal of one member of the
company.

South Boardman—Toledo parties are
negotiating for the purchase of the M. B.
Farrin sawmill and the 2,000 acres of
hardwood lands in this vicinity. As the
deal involves about $25,000, its consum-
mation is devoutly hoped for by every
business man in the place.

Manistee—The corner on lath, which is
being worked at some points on the lake,

has proved a bonanza to some of the|

holders, and some of our mills have con-
tracted their cut for the next sixty days
at $1.90 on dock here, which is more than
lath have netted for some time.

Bay City—Eddy, Avery & Eddy are
building a standard gauge tram road a
mile and a quarter in length in Midland
county, for the purpose of hauling a
quantity of logs on skids to the Salt
River. A force of twenty-five men is
employed in grading, tieing and laying
track.

Manistee—At a meeting of the stock-
holders of the Filertown Furniture Co.,
on the 8th, E. G. Filer tendered his
resignation as President of the company
and A. B. Leonard was elected to fill the
vacancy. F. C. Reynolds was elected
Secretary, in place of J. H. Hagerman,
resigned.

Bay City—The mills are in full blast
and activity is noted on every hand in
the lumber business, although the reduc-
tion of capacity by the burning of mills
cuts quite a hole in our production. The
strikes have somewhat affected the de-
mand for lumber, yet the movement by
lake has been large.

Hiram H. Belding, who recently died
in Chicago, left an estate appraised at
$386,000. He made anuncupative will,

 

bequeathing his adopted daughter $15,000 |
worth of stock in the Belding Manufac- |
turing Co. and the Richardson Silk Co.,
and dividing the remainder of the estate
into two equal parts—one to go to his
wife and the other to his children.
Saginaw—The Flint P. Smith Lumber
Co., of Flint, has purchased the premises
in this city formerly occupied by John G.
Owen’s sawmill, which was destroyed by
fire several years ago, and will erecta
new mill and carry on an extensive bus-
iness. It will manufacture car timber
and other lumber, having large contracts

with the Peninsular Car Works, of De-
troit. Employment will be given

 

to
about sixty-five hands. |

Bay City—Ross, Bradley & Co. have | Oa ae

The Future of Cotton Manufacture.
Edward Atkinson

 

 

discusses the ques-

tion of the future seat of the cotton
manufacture in the United States in the
eurrent Popular Science Monthly. He
combats the popular notion that it is
likely to be in the South. Mere prox-
imity to the region where the raw ma-

terial is produced is, he rightly holds, of
no weight in comparison with other con-
ditions. The fact that cotton mills have
within ast fifteen years increased in
the South at a comparatively rapid rate
is misleading. They have grown at
anything like the rate of the increase of
local demand for machine-made cotton
goods. He makes the curious though
well-founded statement that even as
lately as in 1870 at least 40 per cent. of
the people in the Southern States were
clothed in hand-spun and hand-woven
clothing, and that, though gradually
creasing each year, it was not until
that this domestic product was entirely
displaced by machine-made textiles. Still
further, Mr. Atkinson holds that neither
proximity to the field of growth nor the
apparently cheaper labor of the South
ean attract cotton manufacturers to that
part of the country. The determining
factor is atmospheric, and the cotton-
spinning and weaving industry is most
likely to settle where atolerably high,
but above all, a fairly even degree of
atmospheric humidity is maintained
throughout the day. In the South, in
spite of moist nights and early mornings,
the air during other portions of the
twenty-four hours is too dry to be favor-
able to cotton spinning and weaving.
The part of the country which best ful-
fills the required condition is the south
shore of New England, by way of Fall
River, Narraganse tt Bay, and soon along
the Sound. ‘‘It is along this that
the Gulf Stream exerts an influence
somewhat like that which affects Lan-
eashire.”” The opinion has long been
held in this country that its steadily
moist atmosphere is one of the main
reasons for the concentration of the cot-
ton industry in Laneashire, and Mr.
Atkinson’s careful though not exhaust-
ive examination of the subject goes far
toward confirming this conclusion.

J. K. V. Agnew, General Superintend-
ent, and M. W. Rose, General Freight
Agent, of the C. & W. M., were in town

yesterday in consultation with the trans-
portation committee of the Horticultural
Society. and after a full canvass of the
subject the committee are confident that
they have attained their object. The
company’s agreement with the American
Express Co. expired last fall and has not
been renewed, and it is now proposed
that the railroad take hold of the matter
Mr. Agnew proposed to fix up some large
furniture cars with shelves, and furnish
three of these every day for this county,
to be handled by the passenger train.
When more than three cars would be
loaded, a fruit train would be run. The
matter only needs the consent of the
General Manager to carry it through.

‘Too many

merchants guess at the percentage of
profit they think they should charge: but
this plan works injustice to both mer-
chant and customer. Mark the cost on

every article in cipher, and under it the

selling price. The percentage of profit
on the various lines of goods should be
uniform as nearly as possible. Some

who do not have a system for
marking goods, would be surprised at
the increase in the percentage of profit

HARD Ww ARE.

New Invention in Glass Industry.
From the Mechanical Electrician.

An invention has been perfected in the
glass industry which, it is stated, will
accomplish a complete revolution in that
branch of manufacture. Until the pres-
ent it has only been possible to produce
sheet glass by blowing a hollow cylinder,
which was then cut off, separated and
polished. An American manufacturer
has now succeeded in producing glass
plates of great breadth and of any de-
sired length by means of rolling. Glass
thus produced is said to possess a far
greater homogenity, firmness and trans-
parency, and it has, on the upper sur-
face, a brilliancy which is hardly to be
distinguished from art plate glass. The
material part of the convention consists
in the application of the peculiar, un-
dulated, hollow metal rollers, heated
from the inside by means of steam or
gas. The rollers seize the sticky, liquid
glass which is conducted to them from
the bottom of a melting tub, without the |
intervention of any other apparatus|
whatever. To prevent the glass from |
adhering to the rollers, the latter are
covered with an extremely thin coating |
of wax. If the new process is exten-
sively used, window glass will be consid-
erably cheapened.

The Hardware Market.

Steel nails continue to decline.
annealed wire and barbed fence wire
have declined. The axe combination |
maintain prices very firmly and an nt |
vance is by no means improbable. The
glass factories will close June 15, about
two weeks earlier than usual, which will |
undoubtedly cause a scarcity and an ad-
vance before the factories are started
again.

THE AGE OF IRRESOLUTION.
One of the effects which have followed

ever they do from an uncertainty whether |
they are doing the most productive thing
within their reach. The thing is not to
do their best, but to do that which will
bring to them the most speedy and sub-

| stantial rewards. The strength of desire

is ne longer to be or to do, but to gain,
and the result is a restlessness which |
nothing can appease. |
FRUITLESS LITIGATION. |

The Western Union Telegraph

'Co. was made the defendant in a $5,000

from the wide opening up of the vistas
in all which is consequent
upon the improved means of conveying |
intelligence distinguishing this age, is |
the prevailing irresolution of young |
men in regard to their business in life.
It has never been over easy for a young
man, standing on the threshold of an |
untried life, to decide what should be the
trend of his efforts, and often he is |
turned one way or another by some cir- |
cumstanee which in itself might seem |
trivial. If he possessed of some |
strong bent and feels himself to be born
for some special mission, the matter is |
less difficult, but this condition has never
applied to any large number. Now-|
adays the young man, on his entrance |
upon life, sees himself confronted with |
the different professions and vocations. |
He is made keenly aware of the advan- |

directions,

is

tages and with the disadvantages of all |
in a fullness of knowledge which is in|
itself confusing. He sees, moreover, all
the rewards of success in the hands of
those who have made lucky strokes. The
results which of old were the recognized |
rewards of labor present themselves to
his mind as the results of luck. He no}
longer chooses a profession from a con-
viction of natural aptitude, and still less |
from a desire to select that in which he |
can accomplish the most good. He looks
upon the whole of life as a lottery, and |
he calculates the chances not for work |
but for succeeding by a stroke of luck.

This way of looking at things is getting |
to be more and more common, and this is
especially true of those who, having re- |
ceived what is known as a liberal educa-
tion, should the more surely be above |
this way of viewing life. It is also true |
that the habit of looking upon a profes- |
sion as an end is no less well nigh out-
grown. Once a man looked upon his
profession as at least the field in which
his ambitions lay, and if he was not ani-
mated always by the highest spirit of
doing good, he at least regarded his |
chosen field of work as that in which he
was to put forth the best that was in him,
and as that in which he was to pass his |
life. It has come to be now a general, if |
not a universal, feeling that any profes- |
sion is taken up tentatively, to be laid |
aside to-morrow if anything pecuniarily
more profitable offers, and in any ease to
be looked upon as a mere means of obtain- |
ing the means to gain leisure for after
pleasure or to be made to fill the coffers
simply. There are exceptions, but this
feeling is day apparent.
There is so great a greed for rewards, so
keen a sense of the desirability of tangi-
ble and material good, that everything
else is lost sight of. The life of the age
has brought the delight of the eye and
the lusts of the flesh so near to us that
they obscure all else, and the natural re-
sult is that men are irresolute in what- |

The man who sues such a disreputable |
institution as the Western Union is act- |
ing on poor advice, as few people have
ever been able to secure judgments
against an octopus which makes jury
bribing a science, and fewer still have
ever been able to collect judgments,
even when secured in courts of last re-
sort.

The Western Union Telegraph Co. and
are a law unto}
themselves, defying alike the courts and
the people. The time is coming, how- |
ever, when the people will awaken to the
danger and assert themselves.

eannot be undertaken without their co-
operation.

There is a petition before the Senate
Committee on Education asking that each |
of the agricultural colleges established |
under the grant of 9.600,000 acres of the |
public domain in 1862 shall receive an |
annual grant from the national treasury, |
beginning with $15,000 a year and in-
creasing until it reaches $25,000. The
petition comes from the Association of
Agricultural Colleges, which have thus
been joined together for the promotion
of their common projects. They claim |
to be educating 10,000 students or about
one for each thousand acres of land voted
them, and they say they need a much |
larger plant for their work than is the
ease with ‘‘purely literary institutions.”’
Still, even with this demand upon them,
a thousand acres should suffice for a stu-

dent. If it were in evidence that they |
had made any marked impression on the |
agricultural life of the nation, the case |
would be clearer. But they speak |
chiefly of their work in training teachers |
of natural science for other institutions, |

|
|
i
|

|/and claim no more than that ‘‘the farm- |

ers manifest a growing interest in the |
work of these colleges.”’ This may be |
true, without saying much, for there was
and is plenty of room for growth.

Food and Color.
From the American Analyst.

German scientists have recently been
investigating, with interesting results,
the changes to which animals are subject
in their color through the action of
special foods. The results thus far an-
nounced are most markedin the plumage

 

of birds. Dr. Sanermann, who subjected
the action of cayenne pepper on canary
birds to minute researches, demonstrated
that feeding with the coloring matter of}
cayenne pepper, capsicine, alone fails to

cause a change of color in the birds, but
that the presence of trioleine together
with the coloring matter has the desired
effect. Further experiments in the same
direction were performed with young
white Italian hens. By feeding them
with cayenne pepper, in one of the hens
yellow-red feathers appeared before the
tenth day was over. After full growth
the hen was red on the breast and on the
upper part of the wings, yellow-red on
the remainder of the body. A second
has remained white with red breast, the
others fail to show any modification in
their coloration, except the feet becoming
yellow-red, asin all of them. Old hens
did not show any coloration, but the yolk
of their eggs took a reddish coloration,
which may have its cause in the trioleine
contained in the yolk. A highly inter-
esting case of this kind was recently
published in the Monthly Review of the
German Society for the protection of
birds. By mere accident, a pair of doves
obtained some butter which they relished
very much. ‘Then they were treated
every day to a piece of butter of the size
of a hazelnut. The remarkable result
was that their plumage took a deep
brown, lustrous coloration. Asacounter-
experiment, the doves were deprived of
butter for some time, when the dark
coloration gradually disappeared. A
similar fact has been reported by the
scientific traveler, Dr. Ehrenreich. He
stated that certain Indian tribes were in
possession of the art of changing red and
green parrots into partly yellow ones, by
a certain peculiar food. The red color
of bullfinches, which soon disappears,
when the bird is kept in cages, itis
stated may be restored by feeding the
bird in spring with the young shoots of
pine trees. We are all familiar with the
often repeated experiments on cater-
pillars by variation of plants on which
they feed. The most remarkable of them
is aspecies, which, after being fed with
walnut leaves, for instance,
butterflies of a completely dark color.

Magnitude of the Tobacco Trade of the |

Country.

The amount of tobacco annually con- |
sumed in the United States is estimated |

by an apparently competent authority at
310,000,000 pounds. Seventy million

pounds are utilized in the production of |

domestic cigars; 222,000,000 pounds of
chewing and

smoking tobacco are con- |

sumed: 8,000,000 pounds are used in the |

manufacture of snufi; 6,000,000 pounds

are required in the production of cigar- |
ettes: and 4,000,000 pounds of cigars are |

imported. This would make an annual
consumption of five pounds for every
person in the country. But as not more
than one-fifth of our population use to-
bacco, it follows that those who do, con-

sume, on an average, twenty-five pounds |

each per annum. Opinions differ as to

whether this article should be designated

a luxury or anecessity. In speaking of

the cost of the tobacco habit, an exchange |

says:
“If the tobacco users of the

United |

States would abstain for a period of two |

years from the chewing, smoking and
snuff-taking habit, and place the money
they would spend for tobacco in that
period inacommon fund, there would

be enough money in the fund to almost |
wipe out the entire national debt, and |

five years’ abstaining would give the

head of each family in the United States |

enough money to invest in an eighty-

acre homestead farm in the far Western |

States and Territories; or it would give

us a navy of fifty first-class war vessels, |
fully equipped, and create a fund that)
would man and maintain them and the}

Navy Department for a period of at least
twenty-five years.’’

It can thus be seen
nitude of the tobacco trade of the United
States, and what a multitude of devotees

what is the mag- |

are willing to pay annually for a habit |
which gives them so much consolation

and comfort, if nothing else.

MICHIGAN, according to the best authorities, has gained 1,500,887 population in the Last 30 Years. This gain exceeds by 200,000 the
present entire population of MAINE, NEW HAMPSHIRE and VERMONT, or exceeds that of MAINE and CONNECTICUT com
bined, or that of the present entire population of NEW JERSEY. (See Census Reports, 1880, and New York World Almanac, 1890,
page 209.)

MICHIGAN has 1,620 miles of coast line on the GREAT LAKES, which is the only great EAST and WEST WATERWAY in this

country, and the only waterway in accord with the GREAT TREND of business in the United States. This great stretch of coast, if
considered in a straight line, would reach from Maine to Florida on the Atlantic seaboard. About this GREAT WATERWAY, the best
authority in this country on railroads (Poor’s Manual, 1889) has to say: ‘During all these years the railroads have met with the most

active competition from the waterways of the country, upon which freight can always be carried AT ABOUT ONE-THIRD THE COST
OF RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.

MICHIGAN occupies over two-thirds of the coast line of Lake Michigan, the only great body of water lying wholly within the United
States. Of the five Great Lakes, this is the only one having both shores in this country; hence it has a double advantage and excels any
other part of the ‘“Great Lakes Region.’ The four States which abut on this lake show a marvelous growth in the last 30 years, as will
be seen below:

MICHIGAN furnished nearly ONE-HALF of the enormous out- 1 = rge Facto ries that W= ill
put of IRON ORE mined in the United States in 1889, and will

probably exceed that output in 1890 by one million tons and over.
More than this, it was the best ore and commands the highest Employ o OOO M en now
price of any ore mined in this country. The great Bessemer ore .
district, from which Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago and
the steel-making rl draw their supply, is located in this State. eont racted fo r, and Ww i | l be
(See ‘‘Object Lesson.’’)

MICHIGAN has the finest COPPER MINES in this or any other
country, and on account of the quantity and quality can dictate .
the price in the markets of the world. One group of mines, the € rected at M uskeg OV this
‘«<Calumet and Hecla,’’ has paid its shareholders over $31,000,000
IN DIVIDENDS. (See New York Stock Exchange Reports,

MICHIGAN has abundance of timber of the finest quality. The
furniture woods are abundant to supply the demand for scores of
years. These are easily accessible to railroads and streams.

 

MICHIGAN farmers realize more net money for the same quantity of their products than those of any other State, for the reason that
they are close to good markets, and the average distance to the great water highways is less than in any other State.

MICHIGAN has over 5,000 miles of railway—five-sixths as many miles as all New England. Nearly one-half of this mileage 1s owned and
operated by the three GREAT TRUNK LINES, viz., the Vanderbilt interest, the Pennsylvania Company interest and the Grand Trunk.
That these conservative companies are so extensively interested in the railroads of Michigan tends to show the merit of the State, as no
one will venture to assert that the managers of these great trunk lines are ‘‘rainbow chasers.”’ These companies as well as all of the
others of the great trunk lines have large fleets of steamers plying on the great lakes.

BACKED BY SUCH A STATE; "close proximity to the greatest market and railroad center in this country; with unexcelled
transportation facilities; well located in a district that is growing rapidly; with the largest and best harbor on the east shore of Lake
Michigan; we ask you—Do you not believe there is room for one large city on the east coast (300 miles) of Lake Michigan? The South
shore of Lake Erie has four.

 

The present activity in the erection of plants and the numerous inquiries are indicators pointing in this direction. The Board of Trade has
secured control of large water fronts and will locate a few reliable institutions FREE. These sites have docks all completed,
Belt Line Railroad and Electric Street Railway running through or immediately adjacent to them.

Status of the Organization.
Detroit, May 10, 1890.
Editor Michigan Tradesman:

On Jan. 1, of this year, we had 528 members.
We have lost four members by death and an
equal number through non-payment of assess
ments, gaining in the meantime twenty-seven
members, so that our present membership is 547.

Of the four deaths, two were paid from the
reserve fund, this giving to each member a divi-
dend of 10. Assessment No. 2 dates May 10 and
closes June9. The average age of those ad-
mitted is 35 years. There is a considerable inter-
est manifested among the members to aid in
building - the Association. A few days ago
we received a call from W. H. Kathan, of Grand
Rapids, introducing an applicant for member
ship. There is a large membership in Grand
Rapids, with an abundance of material to make
itlarger. Some time ago THE TRADESMAN pub-
lished a list of Grand Rapids travelers, over 300
strong. All who are not members were sent
from this office a copy of the by-laws. a state
ment of the affairs of the Association and a
blank application. Many of the boys, no doubt,
are only awaiting a personal invitation from
some Grand Rapids member to join the Associa
tion. Boys, give the wheel another turn and
gather in some of these 300. Every member you
add to the list of the Association is to your per-
sonal benefit. The Association is first-class in
every particular. Any statement you make re
garding its advantages will be sustained by re
corded facts. Any information you want rela-
tive to its affairs will be promptly furnished.

Fraternally yours,
M. J. Matruews, Sec’y.

‘‘Mamma, | know the gentleman’s name
that called to see Aunt Ellie last night,
and nobody told me, either.’’

‘Well, then, what is it, Bobbie ?”’

“Why. George Don’t. I heard her say,
George, don’t, in the parlor four or five
times handrunning. That’s what his
name is.”’

Church’s Improved Alabastine is now
sold in the place of the original Alabas-
tine so long and favorably known to the
readers of THE TRADESMAN. The im-
proved is made by the same man and
same company as the original, the im-

provement consisting simply in more
perfect proportions and general improve-
ments in the same line as the original
invention, adapting Alabastine to being
stippled, combed (corrugated) or modeled
on walls, and while it is made to form a
harder cement, if anything, than the
original, which sets in the form of a por-
ous cement, the improved sets much
slower, as well as hard.

It can not be kept mixed and left to
set in the dish over night and used next
day, but can be kept in liquid form all
day while it is being used, and will work
even better when it is cool, and as with
the original it forms a permanent coat-
ing, that is, one that hardens with age,

admitting of recoating from time to time
without the necessity of taking off the
old coats, if all old coats of kalsomine,
ete., are removed first. Fine or
stippling, as done with Church’s Im-
proved Alabastine, produces an effect
similar to ingrain paper, though much
nicer and more durable. Being a smooth
as well as pebbled surface, it will admit
of cleaning with bread, as walls are
sometimes cleaned. With our instruc-
tions this stippling can be done by any
one.

We furnish cut stencil patterns at cost

All parts of Alabastine combine on the
wall to forma porous stone coat that
will not deeay. Don’t let a dealer sell
you kalsomine, ete. (that he buys cheap-
er), by claiming it is the same or just as
| good as Alabastine. There is no article
| sold that is even similar to Alabastine,

our patents, and it is sold in a local way

Send to us for a paper taken from the
Michigan State Board of Health report,
treating on wall coatings and their rela-
ition to health, telling why kalsomined
|and papered walls are unsanitary and
| why the pure, porous Alabastine is sani-
tary.

jers. Address
