ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED ADVERTISING SCHEMES. In Which Some Lose and Others Make Their Fortunes. From the Detroit News. ‘Talking about advertising, it’s one of the most contradictory things that a business man can run across, and I’ve nearly got bald trying to theorize it. You can’t theor- ize it. There are certain broad lines which can be laid down, of course, but outside of them it’s actual experience only that counts. It’s easy enough to tell which papers to pat- ronize, but a man who knows how to fill the space you buy, so as to- draw, is good for from $2,000 to $5,000 a year. I know half a dozen men in town who get more than the former figure, and one who is said to get the latter from a Woodward avenue clothing house.” The speaker was a member of a firm which has probably covered as much territory with its advertisements as any house in Detroit, and whose newspaper bills in flush times ag- gregate $100,000 annually. “T don’t wonder,” he continued, ‘‘at the ignorance of the average small advertiser, but I do at the same failing in men who spend far more than myself. It’s upon both these classes that the innumerable advertis- ing schemes which flood the country flour- ish. Take railroad advertising, for exam- ple. Yet you can’t go into a depot without seeing the walls crowded with framed ecards, for hanging which exhorbitant prices are charged and at which nobody looks. The sheets given out on railroads are about the same value as an advertising medium. They are rarely put out, and when they are peo- ple with money won’t look at them. Can- vassers for ‘‘ads” on bills of fare, show guides, city guides, railroad guides, anda dozen other ‘snaps’ pester the advertiser and keep his money out of the only paying me- diums—the newspapers. “In the way of ‘snaps’ the best swindle I ever saw was worked here two sunmners ago by a plausibly talking, hook-nosed mau. He had a big thermometer which he proposed to hang in a frame opposite the city hall. His money would come from selling spaces in the frame—and it came. Mabley went in $40 worth, K. & K. $25 andothers followed suit until it made some $250. He worked the same game at Winsdor, and then skipped with his thermometer, leaving a glazed frame worth about $5 as a memento of his visit. “Advertising to be any good must be kept up. A patent-medicine firm here afew years ago cleared $50,000 annually and invested as much in advertising. Anew man bought it out who imagined he could go on selling as much without spending any money. In two years he failed. On the other hand, you ean advertise too much. A big patent- medicine business was started two years ago in Toronto which went in on a most ridicu- lous seale—whole and half-page ‘ads’ all the time in the leading papers. It sank, $250,- 600 and then petered out. A big Rochester, N. Y., medicine man, who is now the rich- est in the country, is said to have dropped $1,500,000 before he got back his money, but he was a millionaire and an old adver- tiser, and expected to, as he covered the whole continent at once. -¢ > Hop vines, usually a waste product in this country, are said to have proved not only good stock for paper, but the best substi- tute yet obtained for rags in French paper mills. Magnetism in Trade. The subject of business sociability is worth viewing from a commercial standpoint. There is only here and there a merchant who seems to understand certain depart- menis of trade, and the conversational de- partment is perhaps the one least under- stood. Some business men have the idea that the talk which must be done with customers is a necessary evil, and so they leave it all to their clerks, burying themselves behind their ledgers. Others commit a worse error by putting a crabbed, surly man close by the entrance to their place of business to greet all comers and answer their inquiries. Such elerks are low-priced, of course, and in ev- ery case it would be cheaper to pay them to take a European trip than to keep them. Human nature is the same everywhere, and the old ‘‘country store” method of trad- ing had elements of success in it which can never be ignored. When the farmer drove up to the store the merchant was on hand to meet him as soon as he alighted from his wagon. They exchanged all the news of the day while bartering their goods, and parted with mutual good will. While noth- ing of this kind is admissible ina big city establishment, the same principle is carried out there by long-headed dealers. A strange clerk comes to the concern and is put in the rear of the store until his abilities are tested. By degrees, if deserving, he is moved near- er and nearer the front door. This promo- tion often makes his fellow clerks wince, but there is no help for them if he has learn- ed the art of entertaining the public for the benefit of the firm and they haven't. All salesmen on the road fully understand the importance of affability with every cus- tomer, and strive to cultivate a good fellow- ship which will make them personally wel- come, even when their wares are not wanted. But some of these amenities are apt to be forgotten by dealers who are shut up within the walls of their stores the year round, and have many petty perplexities to contend against. Some men can’t possibly make themselves agreeable, no matter how hard they try; but the average merchant can well afford to hire a book-keeper and take time to be foremost in building up his own trade by personal effort. There are many stores in large and small places where people drop in to leave their orders because the talking is We}jl done in them; and there are others whiéh they go out of their way to avoid, be- cause the proprietors and clerks make a bungling job of their entertainment. No one can measure the power of person- al magnetism in trade, as compared with advantageous location, extensive advertis- ing and other accessories. There are clerks who in changing from one store to another earry nearly all their trade with them. And there are city merchants who visit theit branch stores in the country regularly al- most wholly for the purpose of keeping up aequaintance with the customers, many of whom take pains to do their trading on the days they can meet the head of the con- eern. Ittakesa long time to build upa first-class reputation for affability, just as it does for number one goods and sterling hon- esty. And when such a reputation is estab- lished a few slips on the part of the clerks may weaken it sadly. How often do we hear it said, ‘I wish always to trade with so-and-so, but I never go there now, the clerks are so uncivil.” An illustration of this truth has been worked out ina certain city within a few months. A prosperous merchant who had built wp his trade very largely on personal popularity, in competition with larger es- tablishinents employing much heavier capital made two of his clerks partners in the con- cern. No sooner were these men intrusted with a little power than they began to dis- charge the clerks who had served with them behind the counters for years and to make themselves generally obnoxious to the pub- lic who had been in the habit of patronizing them. ‘The city was not a large one, and the course these fellows were pursuing soon same to be pretty thoroughly known. As < consequence the public began to boycott the coneern systematically and with a mutual understanding which ran down the receipts in away that opened the senior partner’s eyes quite suddenly. At the end of a year he was glad to ship his associates and go on alone. —_—_—_—<>_-¢§--<—___—- How He Collected the Bill. From the New England Grocer. A good story is told of a well-known Bos- ton property holder who has for a tenant ina down town building a lawyer somewhat noted for being slow in paying debts. One day, becoming very much exas- perated, he said to the collector: ‘Give me that bill. Vl show you how to collect rents.” He was absent about three-quarters of an hour. When he returned he did not have much to say for a few moments, and then, going over to the collector’s desk, he said, in a very confidential way, “Just charge —— with $15.” ‘‘How’s that?” inquired the collector. “Well—I—well—that’s all right. Mr. —— was a little short to-day, and I let him have that much.” Close Cutting. Close cutting isan evil that is doing a great amount of harm to retail grocers. Men are not supposed to engage in business merely for the pleasure which this business gives them. There is no sense or reason for sell- ing sugar at cost. An exchange, commen- ting on the cutting of prices, says: .**Pur- chases are seldom made because the price is low. Especially is this true in depressed times, when any price is high for an article that is not needed, and when men buy only because they must to meet requirements. Such linited buying is independent of price, and would result at any price. In times of prosperity a cut may be possibly made with- out entailing any further effects, and may serve to work off a surplus stock; but in times like the present it is taken as an ac- knowledgment on the part of the seller that prices are too high, and begets further lack of confidence, and exerts a permanent injur- ious influence upon trade. The lowness of price is in everyone’s mouth, and the news of every concession flies on the wings of lightening in all directions. Other dealers and manufacturers meet the cut in self-de- fense, and another lower level of prices is established, only to again recede at the news of the next cut. The demand for lower prices becomes chronic on the part of the pur- chaser. Public opinion is formed on a low- er estimate of values, from which the recoy- ery is difficult. It is therefore a serious thing to eut prices, and one that should not be resorted to except under exceptional cireum- stances. Men are prone to buy on an vancing market. They are especially posed to avoid a declining one, and the cut weakens the general demand. Values us- ually stiffen with increased demand, and experience teaches that the converse is al- ways true, that demand increases as values grow firmer.” 2 <______ The Cigarette Nuisance. Even cigar smokers are in many instances insufferably annoyed by the vile, cheap cigar- ette. A correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle tell a little story illustrating this: “Not long ago in a smoking compartment of a Pullman ear, a little scene oecurred in which the cigarette was, as usual, the cause of the trouble. There were four men smok- ing cigars in the somewhat confined space of the compartment, when the cigarette cane in. Attached toit was athin young man who was still so far behind the fasnion as to wear his hair banged. It was one of the twenty-for-ten-cents cigarettes of a cheap brand abundantly advertised. The cigarette had not been there a minute before the en- joyment of every smoker in the place was thoroughly spoiled. An elderly man who was one of the original quartette took out his cigar ease and offered the cigarette young mana ad- dis- cigar. The youth preferred his cigarette, he said. Then the man put his cigar tase back in his pocket, tossed the partially consumed cigar out of the window, and deliberately left the compartment. The youth with the cigar- ette was well-meaning enough, and he rushed after the retreating smoker with an apology, but the man with the cigar-case did not re- turn. He was quite pleasant about it, howey- er, said he recognized the right of every man to smoke in a publie place, but as he could not himself stand cigarettes, though he had smoked all his life, he preferred to go to the forward end of the car. Idon’t think cigar- ette smokers realize—I know [ never did when I smoked cigarettes—how offensive the odor of the cheap paper abominations so extensively sold is to cigar smokers. That the anti-cigarette smoking movement is growing cannot be doubted. The signs prohibiting cigarette smoking in offices grow more numerous, and, after all, there may be a check to the custom after awhile. If good cigarettes were smoked, it would be bad enough ; as it is, the nuisance is intoler- ? able. = =o He Was Full. From the Wall Street News. A drummer who was seouting for busi- ness on the Arkansas shore of the Mississ- ippi river struck a settlement in which the one store carried a small line of almost ey- erything. The drummer had only boots and shoes, and it was with something like joy that he noticed the fact that the dealer had only two pairs of boots and three or four shoes lying around. His joy was, however, of short duration. When he introduced himself the merchant replied: “Td like to give you a lift, but the fact is the only two men in this country who wear boots were buried last week, and there wont be any sale on shoes until we gita new school teacher.” “But don’t you want some negro shoes?” “Oh, as to them we always depend on the wreck of a steamboat on the snags above. I guess [I’m all full.” ———_ >a Lively Foreign Trade. “Did you notice,” said the young mer- chant to the old one on'the horse ear, ‘‘that there has been a great renewal of trade be- tween Russia and England lately?” “No, no, [hadn’t. Let me see your pa- per. What kind of trade is it? Does it ef- fect our business?” “Oh, no, it doesn’t touch our line. It’s nothing but some unusually large exporta- tions of taffy from Russia to England.” | | | How to Buy Shoes. The price of a pair of shoes is a riddle when they are on the feet. The price of other articles your neighbors know, analyz- ing the cost of materials in your clothing as correctly as if they had done your buying. The materials used in any piecemeal articles which can be made at home, come if desired, be- familiar than other materials which must always be bought in a complete form, such as a shoe. In buying a dress or a suit of clothes, for instance, the fabric is, perchanee, bought at one store, the braid at another and the buttons at still another. Or a bonnet frame from one store is trimmed with the newest shade of ribbon from another. more But shoes are not bought by piecemeal. People buy them as they buy horses, taking the dealer’s word them. Ladies who pride themselves that they can buy silk that will not grow shinny, calicoes that ‘‘will wash,” carpets that will not fade, and ‘‘real lace,” draw the line at the product of the shoemaker. An intelligent purchase of foot- wear should be added to the aecomplish- ments of the average buyer. The great point {to be sought is wear, whether a shoe is low priced or high priced. There are other points to examine, of course, but a shoe that does not wear well does not meet the first requirements of ashoe. It is bad enough to ‘*break in” anew shoe any- way and a good wearing article will save the torture of a new pair of shoes every time there is anew moon. Ten or twenty- five cents difference in the kind and amount of leather that can be used by the manufacturer. Twenty-five cents on a low priced grade of shoe will substitute a goatskin upper for a sheep skin, and a solid leather sole for one that is only partly leath- for make a great er. Fifty cents will often give a dollar in wear. A shoe should never be bought for its beauty of outline only, but for its wearing qualities as well. Itis not the kid, pebble or straight goat figured finish that gives the wear, but the quality of goatskin upon which the finish ismade. Buyers generally evince the same desire to distinguish a sheepskin from a goatskin that they evinee to distin- guish cotton from woolen. are made in a substantial manner and invariably recommended to the purchaser for wearing properties. Although made of heavy leather they are sold on the right principle, and the true principle upon which to buy shoes for a man, woman or ehild. An important consideration also isa good fit. Itis almost as important select a good-fitting as a well-made shoe. a Zl, President—Geo. F. Owen. Vice-President—Geo. W. McKay. i Secretary—Leo A. Caro. | Treasurer—James Fox.

The Pharmacy Law is now an accom- plished fact, having passed both Houses of the Legislature and received the approval of the Governor. Much ignorance has existed as to the purport of the measure, 1n consequence of which Tur TRADESMAN has procured a certified copy of the bill as it finally passed the Legislature and hereby presents the same to its numerous readers. Some of the provisions are wise and calculated to do the | drug trade good, while others may possibly work to the detriment of the business. Tak- en as a whole, the law is a long step in the right direction and it behooves every drug- gist in the State to give it his cordial co-op- | eration. Much now depends upon the character of the men selected to enforce its provisions regarding examinations and the distribution | of permits to dispense drugs. The Board of | Pharmacy should be composed of men who are well versed in affairs pertaining to phar- | macy, coupled with a large amount of plain common sense. Muskegon presents an ex- cellent candidate in the person of Jacob Jes- son, who is qualified in every respect to dis- charge the duties devolving upon a member of the Board. Lansing and Detroit are each entitled to representation on the Board on account of the effective work done by the pharmacists of those cities, in securing the passage of the bill ; and it would not be sur- prising if a fourth member hailed from Kal- amazoo. ‘Hehe fifth place on the board be- | longs to Grand Rapids, and THe Traprs MAN has no ecompunction in presenting for | appointment the name of Frank J. Wurz- | burg, President of the Grand Rapids Phar- macutical Society. An active druggist for nearly thirty years, Mr. Wurzburg has as- sisted in the building up of a large business, and has always taken an interest in every | movement looking toward the elevation of ! the business of the druggist and the profes- sion of the pharmacist. Thoroughly quali- | ged to discharge the duties incident to the position, he would prove an efficjent mem- | ber of the Board, and his appointment | would do much to allay the suspicion | against the law which exists in the minds | of hundreds of druggists. Tue TRApDEs- MAN is confident that Mr. Wurzburg’s ap- pointment would receive the hearty appro- val of every druggist in Grand Rapids, as well as scores of others in various parts of the State who have had dealings with him in a business way, or who know him per- sonally.

AMONG THE TRADE. IN THE CITY. Rindge, Bertsch & Co. received seven car- loads of rubber goods last week. Patehin & Abbott, small lumber dealers, have dissolved partnership and retired from business. ‘ton, has made a general assignment to C. the manufacture of carriages at Dundee. J. M.

Moore & Co. have engaged in the grocery business ow the corner of Spring and Oakes streets. Cody, Ball & Co. furnished the stock. The Grand Rapids Refrigerator Co. has just put ow the market a grocer’s refrigera- tor, made in two sizes, which is undoubted- ly destined to meet with a large snle. c. C. Bunting and D. B. Shedd have formed a copartnership under the firm name of Bunting & Shedd, and will shortly en- gage in the produce commission business in the new Gilbert block on Ottawa street. Among the special premiums to be offer- ed at the coming fair, Brown, Hall & Co. offer three prizes—blankets worth $11, $8 and $6, respectively—for the best teams with loaded wagons used for delivering goods tor Grand Rapids wholesale houses. E. Fallas has pickled 15,050 dozen of eggs so far this season, and expects to put down as many more before the advent of cold weather. He does not anticipate much of a change in the market for some time to come, as the immediate markets are overstocked with pickled stock. Ex-Mayor Belknap’s mission during his recent trip through the South was to ascer- tain the most desirable point at which to es- tablish a Southern depot for the products of his factory. He has about concluded to lo- | the commercial center of four or five states, and the headquarters of important lumber- ing operations in all portions of the South. ‘“Weuse very few prison-made goods,” said a leading boot and shoe jobber the oth- erday. ‘‘In fact, I never saw a shoe made by convict labor which would compete with one made by free labor. Prison goods don’t | seem to have any style about them, and are seldom put together soas to look attractive. They wear well, for all I know, but the appearance of a shoe is everything now-a- days. We have several cases of prison-made shoes in stock, but they are ‘stayers,’ and I hardly think we shall ever purchase another lot.” ‘James W. McCulloch. Every breeze from the Saginaws brings confirmation of the report that the whole- sale grocerymen of the two cities are bend- ing every exertion to put themselves in con- dition to meet the Grand Rapids ball tossers sometime during the next two months.

A MERCANTILE JOURNAL, PUBLISHED EACH WEDNESDAY. E. A. STOWE & BRO., Proprietors. Office i in Eagle’Building, 49 Lyon St., 3d Floor. Telephone No. 95, (Entered at the Postofice at Grand Rapids as Second-class Matter.] WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1885. BUSINESS LAW. Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts of Last Resort. INSURABLE A man has not an insurable interest in the life of his mother-in-law, according to a de- cision of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl- vania. BILL OF LADING—UNREASONABLE STIPU- LATIONS. A stipulation in a bill of lading -exempt- ing from liability for loss from delays for any cause is unreasonable, and will not re- lieve the carrier from liability for losses caused by negligence, according to the de- cision of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. LIMITA TIONS—NOTES—MA- TURITY. Where two notes, maturing at different dates, were executed at the same time, and where each contained a stipulation to the effect that the failure to pay one of these notes when due should mature both of the notes, the Supreme Court of Texas held that the statute of limitations began to run from the date when the first note fell due. 4 STATUTE OF TAXATION—“‘STOCK IN TRADE.” The meaning of the phrase ‘‘stock in trade,” was involved in the ease of the Sing- er Manufacturing Co. vs. the County Com- missioners of Essex, decided recently by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. In this case the court held that merehan- dise sold on the installment plan, the prop- erty in which was not to pass until the full price had been paid, although it had been removed from the store of the vendor or les- sor, continued to be ‘‘stock in trade” of such vendor or lessor, and subject to taxation as such until the full price was paid and the property had passed. COMMON CARRIERS—LIA BILITY—CONNECT- ING LINES. The case of Block as. The Erieand North Shore Despatch Fast Freight Line was an action of erntract brought against the Fitch- burg and seven other railroads doing busi- ness aS common carriers under the above title. It appeared that the several defen- dant corporations formed an association or company for the transportation of merchan- dise between Boston and Chicago, that the association had an agent in Boston who was authorized to receive goods at Boston for transportation over the line to Chicago, and to give bills of lading or contracts for trans- portation; that the plaintiff delivered goods to such agent and received the bill of lading in suit; and that a part of the goods was lost between Boston and Chicago. By the bill of lading the ‘‘Erie & North Shore Des- patch” contracted to carry the goods from Boston by the Fitchburg Railroad, thence by the Erie & North Shore Despatch to Chicago, and there to deliver them to connecting railroad lines to be forwarded to Denver, their destination. The bill of lad- ing contained the provision that, in case of damage to the property received whereby any legal liability should or might be incurred, that company should alone be held answerable therefor in whose actual custody the same might be at the time of the happening thereof. It also contained a provision that in case of loss or damage to any of the goods ‘‘for which either of said companies may be liable, itis agreed that said company shall have the benefit of any insurance effected thereon by the owner.” The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachu- setts, ina decision rendered on the 12th inst., held that by the true construction of the bill of lading or contract of carriage the defendants were liable for any loss happen- ing between Boston and Chicago. The court said that the several railroad companies forming the associations were not named in the contract. It was a single and indivisi- ble contract, by which the Erie & North Shore Despatch line agreed to carry the goods to Chicago, the freight to be earned upon the delivéry there to the connecting line. The defendants formed a company, and in its name made a special contract to earry the plaintiff's goods from Boston to Chicago. They were, so far as the plaintiff " was concerned, partners, and liable, jointly and severally, for any loss or damage to his goods between Boston and Chicago, unless they were exempted from liability by the terms of the contract. —_——_—_> 7 Method in His Madness. loss or A Philadelphia oil broker, who was in Northern Michigan a few days ago, struck a town where an enterprising citizen had been boring away at a well for the past four months. The Philadelphian went over to see the bore, and said to the man: **As there isn that you will find either oil or salt, ask what you are boring for?” “Well,” replied the man, after seeming to think it over; ‘‘I started in for mineral wa- ter, but as a Boston man came along and offered to put in $7,000 cash, I’m drilling away to use up his capital.” let me INTEREST—MOTHER-IN-LAW. | and. tone chance in a thousand | | | WHOLESALE PRICE CURRENT.

The history of my birth and the first days of my life possess but little interest. At an early age I was carried off from my birth place with several of my companions and placed in a large store on a street which I soon learned was called Monroe. While my fel- lows remained packed away in boxes, I, on account of my superior beauty, 1 suppose, was hung up in full view of the public. At! first I felt proud of the honor and made much over myself, but I soon perceived that my fancied elevation was in fact the great- est obstacle to my success in life, for, while my companions rapidly followed one after another out into the world, to fulfill their destiny, I remained solitary and unsought for. It was not because I was not admired. When any one asked for a corset I was in- variably taken down, my beauty and ster- | ling qualities lauded, and everything done | to tickle my vanity, but somehow or other, | when I pleased, which was generally the | case, I was always hung up again and one. of my companicns handed out in my stead. | It was useless to protest against this gross | injustice, and, moreover, I soon learned my j true nature—I was asample. My lofty pos- aR ee ee ition cut me off fromall companionship with my fellows, and very soon I heartily wished that I, too, had remained humbly packed | iif away ina box—a warning, let me tell you, | jf to those people who fancy that elevated jM rank always brings happiness. Gradually I became morose and choly, and I know not what dark crime I i might have committed had I not been time-/ [jf ly rescued. One bleak December morning—ah, how) well I remember it!—while I was brooding over my present miseries and looking for- | ward gloomily to the future, the door open- | ed and there entered, gentle reader, the most entracing vision of petite, black-eyed female loveliness I had ever seen, and I as- | sure you I had seen many pretty women. I fell in love with her at first sight, if a corset may be properly said to fall in love, and. awaited with breathless interest to hear what she would ask for. A corset! Oh joy of joys! And number 16—iny number! Oh my ribs keep still! T was at once handed down and O the joy, the complete ecstasy of being fondled by | those soft white fingers! It was but fora moment, alas! for although I pleased her, I was, as usual, put back again by the heart- less clerk, who went to seek out one of my companions. I was in the darkest despair when he returned and told the lady that he had no more of that number. ‘Great heavens! Haven’t you got me?” I) tried to shout, but, being mouthless, failed. . Imagine the thrill of delight which vibrat- | ed through every part of me when the sweet creature said she would like to have me if, the clerk would part with his sample. melan- | i petted corset who experienced the joys re- corded in the above chapter? How is it that I am away up here in the garret, amidst old rags and paper—my ribs broken, all soiled and covered with dust, my life fast ebbing away? Why am I thus pitched aside and forsaken? My lady has now been married nearly a year. 1 hae grown too small for her! Pp. S.—Since writing the, above I have been consoled by a visit from one of my companions who had fallen to the lot of a dude. The relation of the horrors he went through will give me strength to bear up during the few remaining days of my life. P. P. S.—Horrors! I have fallen intoa terrible place, and am being torn limb from limb. Surely, this must be the end of all things—the paper millennium. Are You Going to Mnelve a Store, Pal- fry ot Closet ?

Terrified and trembling, I first made a, faint show of resistance, but she pulled me. only the closer, and to prevent my escape tied me. Yielding at last, I gave myself up en- | tirely to the delights of my situation, and elasping her in along, close embrace, swoon- ed away with joy. When I returned to consciousness I found all things changed and I was in a brilliantly lighted ball-room, sweet musie was floating through the air, and—yes—some villian was waltzing with my lady and had his arm around her waist. How I longed to spurn the wretch from | me and from that waist which had been placed under my protection. I had the in- side track on him, however, and IJ longed to tell him so too. My indignation had reach- ed a high pitch, and I was panting with re- venge when the waltz ended, and my lady and her companion went to the tory. They took spot, but what they said shall never be known to the world through A corset is nothing if not honorable. Inafew minutes his arm stole around her waist, and the pressure : soon became so great that thought Isurely would expire. I coulddo nothing to defend myself, but Thad one consolation, which was, as I said before, that he could not cut! me out. Lest I become tiresome, I will only say that my unmarried life, or rather the un- | married life of my lady was to hima crystal streamlet of bliss, but, alas, flowing as I. was soon to discover into the dark pool of misery! One day I heard that my lady was to be married. At the time I was glad, for I will confess that I was beginning to become surfeited | with my delights and longed for a novelty. Vhat that novelty was to be I soon discoy- ered. Ah, that I had remained forever in in my solitary misery in my old store home, or perished before that fatal wedding day! | CHAPTER IL.

The chiccory root, which was used more with coffee when the latter brought a higher price than it dees now, but which is still greatly used on the Continent, somewhat resembles a parsnip. The stem rises to a heighth of two or three feet, the leaves round the base being toothed, not unlike those of the dandelion—indeed, it is closely allied to that plant. The preparation of chiccory as carried on in Belgium, is very simple. The older white roots are selected, cleaned, sliced and kiln dried, and are then ready for the manufacturer. It is roasted inan iron cylinder, called a drum, which revolves over a coke furnace. When taken out itis of a dark brown color, and while hot it is soft and pliable; but after being raked out and subjected toa draught of cold air, it becomes hard and erisp, and is then ready for the mill. From the mill the powder is passed through a cylinder sieve, from which it emerges as fine as the finest flour; and the partially ground pieces, or foreign matters that may have found their way into the chiecory, drop into a separate bin. The shades of color vary occasionally to suit the taste of the purchaser. The chiccory root is cultivated in Belgium, Hol- land, France and Germany. In Belgium, where it is also used as a vegetable, it is very extensively grown, its culture and its manufacture (both of which are unrestrict- ed) forming two of the greatest industries of the country; and its infusion is largely drank -asan independent beverage. For home consumption it is put up in small round and square packets of various weights with highly colored and attractive looking labels attached, and so dispensed to the pub- lic, who ean also purchase it in a loose state. To preserve it in good condition, chiceory should be kept ina tightly closed tin box and in a dry place; otherwise it will become lumpy and rank, and unfit foruse. Instead of being ground down to a fine powder, chiccory is sometimes granulated—that is to say, ground into grains or small Jumps. This is often done when it is intended for export, as in this state it can be packed loosely in barrels, and is less likely to de- teriorate. When exported in powder it is packed in tin eases, which are hermetically soldered down to prevent injury from at- mospherie changes. The London Gorecer says that quantities prepared in both ways are annually shipped from Belgium to all parts of the world. —_———~<- -9- ~<- " Proof Positive. “We have held a consultation,” said a doctor to his patient, ‘‘but we are unable to agree as to the exact nature of your disease. Three of the physicians are of one opinion, while I am of another.” “But, doctor,” said the patient anxiously, “thow will the matter be settled?” “Oh, the autopsy will show who knows best.” i 0 Salem, Oregon, does a thriving business in raising riubarb, large shipments of which are made to Boston regularly. Severe drouthes have played the mischief with the sugar business in Brazil this year. The export trade is 30 per cent. less than in 1884. A good cigarean only he told ‘‘for sure” by smoking it. It isn’t safe to bet on the eolor. Taste and smell are the decisive tests. Having failed to blast the peach crop, the states of Kentucky and Indiana an- nounce that not more than enough wheat for seed will be raised in those sections this year. ‘in Seotland a countryman whose old horse had died took the skin to atanner. The tanner said, inthe Scotch dialect peculiar to the district: ‘‘I canna gie you full price for this skin; it’s ower sma’.” The reply was: **That quare; the aul horse wore it twenty years and mair, and niver made any com- plaint about its bein ower sma’.” It ought to be generally known that a man’s hat will serve in most cases as a tem- porary life preserver to those in danger of drowning. When a person finds himself in the water he should lay hold of his hat be- tween his hands; keeping the crown close un- der his chin and the mouth of the hat under water. The quantity of air contained inthe cavity of the hat will keep the head above water for a long time—sometimes for sever- al hours. : Under the Mexican law a creditor can have a debtor arrested on the day when the debt falls due. The prisoner ischained toa post five days, guarded by an officer. At the end of the time if the money is not forth- coming, the man’s labor is sold to the gov- ernment for 40 cents a day foras many days as will be necessary to discharge the obliga- tion. The miserable debtor is sent to the silver mines, where he is chained to a gang of felons and compelled to work under- ground. He sleeps underground, and never sees daylight again until he is restored to freedom. A merchant who had repeatedly dunned aman sent him a bill for the amount due. in addition to the necessary rule of figure work, the merchant added the following: “Tam becoming tired of the indifference with which you treat this matter, and I de- sire to hear from this billat once.” Several days afterward the merchant received the following, written on a postal-card: ‘‘Ac- cept my thanks for the bill which you were kind enough tosend. I have never troubled you about the matter. When I owe a man it’s my disposition to treat him kindly but firmly. Inever hang around him. Well, whenever you haven’t anything else to do send me another bill.” V7 er AT AA Evidently a Local Allusion. T. T. in Grand Rapids Post. T. T. has abundance of sympathy for the man who after a square and honorable at- tempt to gain a foothold in the business world finds himself ‘‘driven to the wall,” but only contempt for the man who fails for the benefit of his wife instead of his credi- tors. There are few ‘‘tricks of the trade” that have more of concentrated meanness in them than a deliberate attempt to get goods and chattels into one’s hands with the pur- pose to confiscate them under the bankrupt law. It is not alone the fact that such an act stamps the one who engages in itasa thief among respectable people, but it knocks the props out from under every poor but honorable business man in the country who needs accommodations that he cannot get just because the thief has been there ahead of him. And then it demoralizes and breaks up trade just because stolen goods can be sold so much cheaper than those that are paid for. T. T. is not positive that any one in this city is doing that kind of busi- ness at present; still there may be some one doing just that, and the above suggestions ean do no harm. —_—__—<>_ -9 <> Upper Peninsula Business Men. The Upper Peninsula Business Men’s As- sociation met at Marquette on the 2d, with forty delegates in attendance. Houghton, Schooleraft and Keweenaw counties were not represented. Henry W. Seymour, of Sault Ste Marie, acted as chairman. Dur- ing the sessions a resolution was adopted urging Congress to buy the Portage Lake ship canal and complete the Hay Lake chan- nel to St. Mary’s river, and a resolution was telegraphed to Lansing asking for the pass- age of the bill providing for a branch State Penitentiary. The following committees were appointed: On State Relations; on St. Mary’s Falls Canal; on Hay Lake Chan- nel; on Portage Lake Canal and River; on Harbors. These committees were instruct- ed to gather all possible data regarding the respective subjects and put the same in shape for effective use. The convention ad- journed until September 8, when it will re- assemble at Ishpeming. Arrangements have been made to seeure a full ‘representa- tion. The convention upon the whole was more of a suecess than was generally antic- ipated and when it reassembles next fall it may be called upon to do effective work. Se Cold Comfort. From the Ionia Standard. I. E. Messmore, of -Grand Rapids, is in Washington, looking after a consulship. He has the best wishes of the Standard. Indeed we think the Democrats of western Michigan are a unit in hoping he may get a consulship—provided it is far enough away from Michigan. — Ti represents a beginner ina roll- er rink. In the back ground are a lot of peo- ple laughing ; in the fore ground is a young man dressed in the heighth of fashion, his body forming an angle, of which the part that generally is used to sit on forms the apex of the angle. The idea is that he has not yet reached bed rock, his hat in some way has got there first and if he ever does come down he is going to knock everlasting smash out of that 60e plug. I understand that Snooks is going to sue Bilson for $50,000 damages, for aggravated assault with intent to do bodily injury, loss of time, and general misdemeanors, including arson, ete. AsI will have to attend the store during Soliman’s ‘absence at court, it may be that I can’t write much on fashions next week. If we win that suit, we will begin to discount all bills sure. Yours, hopefully, MENITABLE Spricas, F. M. oO The Grocery Market. Business has been fairly good, and eollec- tions are easy. Sugars have declined, but are firm, in consequence of an increased ex- port demand. Kerosene is still selling a 10¢e for water white and 8'¢e for legal test, at which prices every dealer would do well to lay in good stocks. The local brokers. have received samples of new Japan teas, direct from Yokohoma. The samples are fully up to the standard of previous years, but the prices are most too ele- vated for the Michigan trade, as the first picking is very choice and limited in quanity. ——— i -- < - Good Words Unsolicited.

There are said to be 36 varieties of oak in the United States, 34 of pine, 9 of fir, 5 of spruce, 4 of hemlock, 12 ofash, 3 of hickory. 18 of willow, 3 of cherry, 9 of poplar, 4 of maple, 2 of persimmon and 3 of cedar. The New York Museum of Natural History is to have a complete collection of the native woods of our entire country. The logs are being prepared for that purpose. They will be for the most part five feet long, a section of half the thickness of the log at one end being removed. In this way both the lon- gitudinal and transverse grainings are shown. There is also a diagonal cut on the section, which displays the graining also. The remainder of the log remains in its nat- ural condition, with the bark attached. —_—- 9 your local Hardware Dealer, send your orders di- rect: to LW. PAPTON, § W.

Belknap. ‘*The lack of enterprise among Southern merchants is most deplorable.” said Ex- Mayor Belknap, the other day. ‘In fact, half the merchants seem to be troubled with the worst sort of old fogyism. Few lady clerks are employed, and such an innoya- tion as acash transmitter is seldom seen and the cash boys are fully as active as our telegraph boys. None of the tradesmen make any outside show of goods or any pre- tense toward rendering the show attractive. windows The New Orleans dealers keep | open late at night and all day Sunday, and I sometimes wondered whether they ever | closed their doors. “The same lack of enterprise is obsery- able among manufacturers in general. They are—that is, nine tenths of them—away be- hind the times, byt Northern machinery manufacturers are rapidly conquering that spirit, and a marked improvement is going on. There are splendid openings for shingle manufacturers in Mississippi, and for stave makers in Tennessee and Northern Ala- bama. In the latter localities, there are ex- cellent opportunities for the manufacture of lumber from the poplar, which is similar to our whitewood, and which is used in the manufacture of coffins and e; iskets, carriage bodies and furniture. : ‘While looking through the main build- ing at the New Orleans Exposition, my companion remarked that the Americans were the most ignorant people in the world as regards Mexico, The remark caused me to look about the exhibit made by Mexico, and I soon found that so far as I was con- | cerned she was right; and I am still puzzled to know whether the Mexiean people were not more interested in the Exposition than the United States. Anywhere like a full deseription of their exhibit would fill your paper for a year, so I will mention only what I thought perfection itself. In furni- ture, there isa Chair of State, which cost $50,000.

In cloths, there y from a coarse mat, yas everything, to the finest silk, and the taste displayed in some of the prints and carpets was strikingly fine.

A little further on, we found on immense collection tanned. leathers, harnesses, boots and confectionery—in And then there was a full line of the uniforms worn by their soldiers and sailors, all kinds of arms and ammunition, surgical instruments, hospital stores and appliances—a clear proof that they are pre- pared for war as well as peace. And still further on was their school exhibit, and in this respect I think only two of the cities of our Union, Boston and Grand Rapids, can show better designs in drawing. Some of the objects and lessons here were perfec- tion itself; and the most charming photos of the fair Mexican ladies would cause an old fellow like me to wander back for the second and third look. Then there was the most marvelous work in the shape of fans, ete., made from feathers, feathers and moss combined, and straw hats, bonnets, orna- mental works, ete. Then, there was a fine building made mostly of stained glass, in which there was the most complete mineral exhibit ever got together in one room; and what is more, there were several intelligent attendants who seemed to delight in answering the many questions propounded by strangers. Then, again, there was the show of fruits and vegetables in the Pomo- logical Hall, and the Mexican Bazar, where one could buy all the stoneware and nick- nacks which your wife could pack home. And at the Mexican headquarters there was a section of artillery and a splendid band of music, comprising seventy-five pieces. And they net only take the cake, when it comes to making good musie, but it is said that they charmed about all the girls in the Creseent City with their gay clothes and manners. In Art Hall they had many fine paintings. ‘After seeing the entire Mexican exhibit I was convinced that my companion was right—that the American people are ignor- ant of this great nation which is at our very doors, and that the sooner we, as a nation, get better acquainted and establish more and better commercial relations, the better it will be for us in every way. We can learn much from them. We ean, by the right course, sell them many of the products of our factories, and we can get many of theirs very cheaply in return. Surely both nations will be well paid by the acquain- tanees formed at the Exposition; and Iam willing to stake my reputation as a prophet on the statement that Mexico will be hitch- ed onto the United States before you and I have passed in our checks.” a3’ The Michigan Tradesmen, SOLIMAN SNOOKS. His Version of the Little “Difficulty” with Bilson. Cant Hoox Corners, June 5, 1885. Mister Editer of Traidesman. DEAR Srr—Sence writin to you last I have been arrested for salt and batry in and upon Philander Bilson, with various deadly weapons, to wit: fists, horse shoes, chips of wood and other things, against the peace and dignity of the State of Michigan. It’s an awful solum charge, but I don’t care a copper for it. I kno what law is and don’t you forget it. It comes at a feller mighty rough at first, but by the time your lawyer gets in his ee with his little adjourn- ments, demurrees, habius corpuses, chal- enges to the array, etc., why, Lord bless you, the law soon gets as meak as a lam. Tam took up on a warrant before old Square Potts, darn him, and am now out on bale. The Widder feels, terrible bad and thinks I will be hung or something dread- ful, but, pshaw! what does wimmen kno about law? But I must tell you the partic- ulars. I had just been into the barber shop to get shaved, and when I cum out I thot Vd step into the black-smith shop a moment to see the bellus that Tozer has ben gettin. Then I happened to think about Bilson eall- ing me a windbag and I was just thinking how I would like to punch his head, when I saw old Phil himself coming in threw the door with a broken fish spear in his hand. I walked right out and was standing outside talkin with Ed Smikes when Bilson out. Isays: ‘‘Ed, if some certain was out of this town it would be place.” come folks quite a Ed grinned, and Bilson says, ‘‘Say Smikes, how is old Snooksy now? Have they put him in the sylum yet?” T turned to Bilson then and said: ‘‘Bil- son, you are a fool.” ‘“You'r another,” says he. “Your a old liar,” says I. “Your a old hypocrit,’”’ says he. “Your a old fraud,” says I. ‘Your a dummed old cheat,” says he. “T ean lick you,” says I. “Your a liar,” says he. And at that we clinched and pulled and hauled for about a half a minnet, when we happened to squirm into the black-smith shop. I backed Bilson up agin the horn of the anvil and he let go to save himself and Thit him aclip in the left eye. He then plugged me one in the nose and I fell into the tub that Tozer cools iron in. I tell you the water flew and by this time the news had spread and the door was full of men. I got out of the tub and got hold of a horse shoe and threw it and hit Bilson in the bread basket, so that he staggered back and aut his foot in some cant hook irons and fell into the char coal bin. Then he threw a chunk of coaland I threw anything I could get hold of until at last Tozer and some of the others got us seperated and Bilson went over to the meat market to some raw meat for his eye and I went to my pump to wash the blood off my face. Sister Spriggs fainted plum away when she saw me con- ing with my face and shirt bosom all bloody; and I have heard since, that Jerusia Spil- kins, the old maid dress maker that has rented that small house of Bilson’s just north of the meat market, went into hys- trikes when she saw Bilson going into the market with his eye in ‘mourning and his coat torn up the back. Miss Jerusia is blamed fool enuif to like Bilson, and she writ some poetry tother day and sent it to him. Bilson lost it out of his pocket in the scrimmage and Bill Simmons found it on the battle field and I send it en- tire: get AN ODE TO ONE I LOVE. Gh, tell me not in mournful numbers, That this world is all a show, Jerusia Spilkins thinks it lovely, And she thinks she ought to know. Yes, love fills the world with grander. Oh! to be loved by dear Philander. Of all the men in Cant Hook town, Or eyen in this region, And I know a lot of men— My lovers have been legion, J never saw a noble or more grander Than my dear Bilson, glorious Philander. To see him stand behind the scales, And weigh out tea and-so-forth; Will make me on the wettest day, Put on my hat and go forth, I do not believe a word of Old Sol Snookes slander, I have so much confidence in my dear Phil- ander. When I I go f for r Soap Or lard, He flies -S around SO. ‘so nimble, in) ae “~The diamond in 1 his shirt front’ gleams, t’s bigger than my thimble. me I will not lie, but answer in all candor, Tlove him with all my heart, dear, dear, Philander. aT His hair is most too thin on top To let him be a masher, But the hair upon his lip does drop, In a lovely black mustacher. So Widder Spriggs can just forthwith me- ander, For I am bound to have my Bilson, my Phil- ander. She only came here a short time ago and she claims to have refused lots of offers, but I'll bet my best plug hat that she never had an offer in her born life. It is plain to be seen that she has set her cap for Phil. Bilson. Well, I have engaged Wilkins to defend me and he is going to file an affidavit fora change of venue the first pop, on the grounds that old Potts is prejudiced agin me. Tne TRADESMAN has just arrived and I see Bilson is out with more of his slurs and denials. Itisno use for him to deny that 20 cents on a dollar bizness, becoss I can prove it by the gentlemen named _ before. His story that I failed for $6,000 dollars in Indiana, is a lie on the face of it, when you come to think of the idea of a man running a small corner grocery ina little place like Goshen, ever gettin in debt six thonsand dollars. Wilkins sent you a telegram from Grun- bleton, but he resides in Cant Hook. Yours in limbo, SoLIMAN SNOOKS, »:, J. PB. and FP. MW. >_> ___—_ PHILANDER BILSON. His Account of the Snooks-Bilson Em- broglio. Canr Hook Corners, MAY 5, 1885. Editor of THE TRADESMAN: DEAR Srr—Well, ve met the eneiny, and he is ours. That is, my business com- petitor came out second best, and Bilson is at the top of the heap. I think I wrote you last week that I was aching fora fight. Well, the opportunity presented itself last Saturday, when I met Snooks in front of the blacksmith shop. He and Ed. Smikes were talking about the shaving bill Snooks owes—he has shaved often since the Widow Spriggs has been as- sociated with him in a business way—and I called out to Smikes, asking if Snooks had been sent tothe asylum yet. This re- mark served to anger Snooks, and one word brought on another, and the first thing Snooks knew he was being knocked all around the blacksmith shop, yelling ‘‘help” and “murder” every time I hit him. He has bragged so much about his pugilistic ability that I expected he would get a clip at me once in a while, but when the ‘‘mill” vas over I found he hadn’t struck me once, except with a horse-shoe, which struck the anvil and glanced off so as to hit me in the stomach. While dealing him a blow in the mouth, I accidentally run against the han- dle to the bellows, which blackened my eye somewhat. But Sneoks didn’t get off so easy as that. He was the worst-looking specimen you ever saw, as he bore a striking resemblance toa man who had been run through a thrashing machine. It will take him at least three months to recover from the effects of his indiscretion in tackling me, and I don’t think he will ever say any- thing more about his fighting qualities. The “meeting” was quite an event for the Corners, and public sympathy is all on my side. Everyone says, ‘Served him right.” A leading citizen caused Snooks’ arrest on a charge of assault and battery, but I think the charge will be changed to ‘‘breach of the peace.” Please see Sheriff Kinney and find out how much he would charge to keep Snooks in the Kent county jail for 10, 15 and 20 days, respectively, as some of the best men in the town intend making up a pnrse to pay the old snoozer’s board while he is serving his sentence. As soon as he is in jail, his creditors will close out his stock here, and Cant Hook Cormers will be ridded of the worst nuisance which ever in- fested a decent community. Yours for the good of the cane PHILANDER BILSON. ——————-—_--
