MANUFACTURE  OF  PINS.

SHIRTS.

MEN  OF  WEALTH.

The  Regularity  With  Which  Automatic  Ma­

chinery Turns Them  Out.

The process of manufacture is beautiful in 
its simplicity.  The machine used is a  little 
low affair about four  feet  high.  While  it 
appears to be of very simple  construction  it 
has almost as many  fine  and  delicate  com­
ponent part» as a watch, and to  do its  work 
thoroughly it must also be  as  carefully  ad­
justed and regulated.  About two feet  from 
every  machine  is  a  rapidly revolving  reel, 
round which is coiled a hank of  brass  wire. 
The wire, which is of the thickness used for 
a particular sized pin, is fed into the machine 
in a  continuous  golden  thread.  Here  it 
passes under knives which cut  it  off  to  the 
required length, and as  it  is  cut  it  passes 
under a die.  This die gives three sharp and 
distinct little clips and the  head  is  formed. 
Caught up by the invisible  iron  hands,  the 
pin now  resemtyes the joke of many  an  al­
leged humorist—it has no point.  After hav­
ing a head put upon it, the  pin  falls  into  a 
little niche in a traveler which takes it under 
a series of files.  The rapid movement causes 
the soft  wire  soon  to  become  decidedly 
pointed and then  it  drops  through  a  tin 
chute into a basket on  the  floor.  You  pick 
up one of these little  strangers  and  find  it 
covered with grease  and fine wire dust.  To 
remove this they  are  taken .into  the  base­
ment and put in barrels filled with sawdust. 
The barrels are on axles  and  give  a  rotary 
motion.  The  shaking causes all  the grease 
to cling to the sawdust, or perhaps it  might 
be  more correct to say that the pin is  envel­
oped in two envelopes, grease  as  the  inner 
one and sawdust as the outer one.  The next 
process is to turn the contents of  the  barrel 
in a sifting machine connected with  a  pow­
erful blower.  This causes the chaff  to  sep- 
erate from the grain, or in  other  words  the 
pins to be thoroughly cleansed from the saw­
dust attaching to them.  Brass  pins  are  the 
most expensive made, but  if  used  in  their 
pure  state  would  cause  garments  through 
which they are run to  corrode.  To  prevent 
this they are taken to copper vats and coated 
with an acid, the preparation used being one 
of the secrets of the trade.  The pin  is  now 
made but before it can go out to the  trade it 
must be stuck on paper.  The  operation  re­
quired to do this is as pretty  as  any  of  the 
others.  The  pins  are  dumped  into  the 
trough of a machine.  They run down an in­
clined bed in  which  are  cut  a  number  of 
grooves just wide enough  to  contain  a  pin 
when  standing  up  perpendicularly.  The 
bed of the machine is V shaped, the base  of 
tbue V being furthest removed from the point 
where  the  pins  first  enter.  As  the  pins 
come to the narrow  point  of  the  bed  they 
pass under a species  of  trip-hammer,  with 
six or seven distinct hammers set in a frame. 
They are now fed in fours  to  a  continuous 
roll of that narrow blue paper on which pins 
are always sold.  As the paper passes under 
the hammers they drop on the heads  of  the 
pins, and with one blow drive them into po­
sition.  This operation goes on without inter­
ruption, the whole  process  being automatic. 
The machine requires no attention except to 
keep it properly supplied and to see that the 
pins do not choke up.

The  Styles  Most  Worn  at  the  Present  Time.
There have been  so  many  improvements 
made in shirts during the past five years, es­
pecially in stock shirts, that one  often  finds 
himself wondering if the  time  is  not  near 
when good shirts will not wear out.  What 
with patent  seamless  edge  bosoms,  patent 
detached bosoms, patent yoke bosoms, patent 
gored  shoulders,  patent  backs,  etc.,  there 
seems but little  room left for  improvement, 
unless it be in the price, for it seems wonder­
ful tha/any one can produce and sell at such 
low prices,  as  do  the  best  shirt  houses. 
Their  ability  to  do  this 
is  explained  as 
follows:  They do everything in a large way. 
They have very  large  factories,  employ  an 
army of men and women, use a large amount 
of capital, buy in large  quantities,  are  able 
to take every advantage of the  market,  and 
have large, well-organized selling forces.  As 
a consequence, they are able to manufacture 
and sell at the least cost.

Although this business has  been  affected 
by the dull times, it has not suffered in com­
parison with many other lines.  The  failure 
of some houses and the consequent throwing 
of stocks on the market  at  greatly  reduced 
prioes, is not felt by the best houses, as they 
have a regular  patronage that is  not  easily 
induced to try other makes.  A  good,  well- 
made, well-fitting shirt is something  a  first- 
class retailer appreciates.

The  shield  bosom  open  back  shirt  still 
holds the preference, although there is an in­
creasing  demand  in  the  larger  cities  for 
plaited bosoms, open front,  such  as  we  all 
wore prior to the advent of the shield bosom. 
A  prominent  retail  furnishing  house  has 
been selling a great many of what  they call 
“common-sense” shirts, which is  a  eopy  of 
the French dress  shirt,  that  opens  all  the 
way down in front, like  the  single-breasted 
overcoat, and is fastened at  proper intervals 
by either bui  .ns  or  studs.  This  shirt  is 
bound to grow in popularity, as  it  undoubt­
edly has merit.

The outlook for the colored shirt business 
seems flattering.  The  number  of  people 
who prefer colored shirts at least six months 
in the year is large,  and the  variety  of  pat­
terns produced seems to increase  each  year. 
While quiet, neat patterns  are  always  safe 
and desirable, still  there  is  a  demand  for 
loud,  highly-colored,  large  patterns,  and 
judging from those seen, there will  be  more 
of them  sold this season  than  ever  before. 
Wide, large stripes and loud checks in glow­
ing colors will be in demand.  Highly-oolored 
figures of animals and birds will he in favor, 
also crowns,  large  rings,  globes,  beetles, 
horse-shoes  and  nails,  spinning  tops,  and 
many others, too numerous to mention.

Two  neat  turned-down  oollars,  with de­
tached ouffs, will be the  rule,  though  there 
will undoubtedly be  worn  very  many  open 
front, collars  and  cuffs  attached,  colored 
shirts.  Patent front lawn  tennis,  polo  and 
bicycle  flannel shirts in a  variety  of  colors 
will be sold in all the larger towns, and also 
light-weight, single-breasted flannel shirts, in 
various colors, with patent lever  rolled  gold 
plate  buttons.  Boys’  plain  and  plaited 
flannel waists will be worn more  than  ever. 
In fact, light flannels are increasing in popu­
larity for summer wear.

In another department of a pin  establish­
ment steel pins are  made.  These  are  the 
ones most commonly  used.  The  process  is 
nearly similar to that already  described,  ex­
cept that instead of being  pointed  by  pass­
ing over files they pass over  rapidly  revolv­
ing wheels.  A continuous shower of sparks 
issue from the point of  contact,  and  as  the 
wheels go on their journey they look  like  a 
big Catherine wheel.  The wire used is  pur­
chased from the factory in small  coils,  and 
must then be removed before it can he placed 
on the reels already mentioned.  To  do this 
all the kinks must be straightened  out,  and 
the method employed to do this is ingenious. 
The wire passes  through  a  series  of  steel 
screws, and one end  is  made  fast  to  the 
winding wheel.  It is then set revolving rap­
idly, and the motion straightens out the wire 
completely.

Pin making requires less manual help than 

almost any other article manufactured.

During her sojourn at a hotel, a lady broke 
an article belonging to a china toilet set.  On 
leaving the house she was charged  with  the 
entire set.  As remonstrance was unavailing 
she paid the bill, and, pleading the excuse of 
having forgotten something, returned to  the 
room and broke each and every article'of the 
set for which she had paid.  And some  peo­
ple say women are not  clever.

“And my  first  pair  of  hoots,”  went, on 
Simpson, “how proud  and delighted  I was 
Why, do you know,1’  and he looked  around 
impassively, “that the first  night  I  Insisted 
on wearing those  boots  to  bed?” 
“Yes!” 
sniffed the old woman from across the room 
“and it’s many a pair of boots that you have 
worn to bed since.”

The recently formed pool among  the coke 
operators of Pittsburg has come to au inglor­
ious termination, and those who hoped  arbi­
trarily to force an  advance in prices,  in  the 
teeth of an increased production, have failed 
in their  purpose.

Charles IJ. Beals, foreman for L. H. Beals 
&  Co.,  whip  manufacturers  at  Westfield. 
Mass., has bought an interest in the business 
and it will he continued under the firm name 
o f L . H . Beals & Son.

He  Wanted  an  Apology  for  Failing.

One day three or four weeks ago  a  retail 
grocer over in Jersey sat down with his clerk 
one evening and said:

“James,  I ’ owe  New  York  honses  over

$ 8,000.”

“Yes, sir.”
“We have $2,000 in cash in  the  safe,  the 
stock is all run down, and this would he  the 
time to fail in business.”
“It certainly would.”
“But I want a reasonable apology  to  give 
my creditors when,they came down upon  us 
for explanations.  See if you  can’t  think  of 
something to-night, and let me know  in  the 
morning.”

The clerk promised, and the grocer wheel­
ed a chest of tea and a bag of coffee home as 
a beginning.  Next  morning  when  he  ap­
peared at the store the  safe  was  open,  the 
cash gone, and on the desk was a note  from 
the clerk, reading:

“I have taken the* $2,000 and am prepared 
to skip. 
It will be  the  best  excuse  in  the 
world for your failing so flat  that  creditors 
can’t realize two cents on the dollar.”

He  Advised  Burning  the  Store.

A few days ago a  business  firm  got  into 
trouble among themselves,  and  one  of  the 
partners posted off to a lawyer to ask advice. 
When he had related his case,  he  inquired: 
“I presume the correct way is to ask that a 

receiver be appointed?”

“That’s  one  view  of it,” replied the law­

yer.

“Why, I didn’t know there were two views 

to such a question.”

“Oh, yes. 

If none of you dare set  fire  to 
the store and bum up everything and call  it 
square, »you’d better ask for  a  receiver  and 
let him he two months stealing you all blind, 
I should advise the torch, as  that  will  save 
paying the two months’ rent.”
The partnership still exists.
It is estimated that there are now 400 butter 
and  cheese-making  creameries  in  Illinois. 
600 in Iowa and 300 in Wisconsin.

A List  of Grand  Rapids  Capitalists  Worth  Over

$100,000.

Next to reading an evil report or  retailing 
a choice scandal about another, men  in  gen­
eral  enjoy  speculating  as  to  the  probable 
competencies acquired by business rivals and 
associates.  No such spirit, however, has an­
imated The T radesm an in the compilation 
of the following estimates, which  are  based 
in great part on the assertions of  friends  of 
the parties  mentioned.  No  claim  is  made 
for absolute exactness, indeed  grave  excep­
tions may  be  taken  to  several  statements 
made,  hut  exceptional  diligence  has  been 
used to render the estimates more than  usu­
ally reliable for an ordinary newspaper arti­
cle.  No reference is made to men supposed 
to be worth less than  $100,000.

To  Delos  A. Blodgett  is  universally  ac­
corded the palm of being the richest man  in 
Grand RfFpids.  His business  rivals contend 
that his fortune does  not  exceed  a  million 
and a quarter, while his intimate friends are 
equally zealous in asserting that he is  worth 
from two to five  millions,  Mr.  Blodgett  is 
understood to have  intimated  that  $2,000,- 
000 is about the correct  figure.  His  invest­
ments are  mainly  in  pine  lands,  and  it  is 
commonly reported that he  can walk on his 
own land from Lake Michigan to  Houghton 
Lake, a  distance or 75 miles.

Dan.  H.  Waters  probably  takes  second 
rank as a moneyed man.  His pine  land  in­
vestments are confidently expected  to  make 
him a millionaire, and his  present  worth  is 
variously estimated at from $250,000 to $750,- 
000.

Martin L. Sweet is said to own  more  Na­
tional bank stock  than  any  other  man  in 
Michigan.  Competent  judges  estimate  his 
fortune  at from $400,000 to  $750,000.

Wm. B. Ledyard would  probably  tip  the 
scales, if placed  in  the  balance  with  Mr. 
Sweet.

M. J. Clark is probably worth at least half 
a million.  He'has  25,000  acres  of  choice 
pine land, 13,000 in one piece, near  Duluth, 
which is estimated to be worth $10 per acre, 
and could not be purchased for that  money. 
He is also interested in lumber  and  shingle 
speculations  at  Cedar  Springs  and  other 
Northern points, and is a member of the firm 
of Clark, Jewell & Co.

Thos. D. and Frank  B.  Gilbert  are  each 
reputed to he worth $400,000, and Major  A, 
B. Watson, C. C.  Comstock  and  Dr.  Chas, 
Shepard are  rated as having  frim   $250,000 
to $400,000 apiece.

Julius Houseman, John  Clancy,  Ransom 
E. Luce. E. P. Fuller and Wm. Harrison are 
commonly supposed  to  be  worth  $300,000 
apiece.

T. Stewart White is supposed to have about 
an even  $250,000,  and  D.  M.  Benjamin’s 
competence  possibly  exceeds  that  amount. 
Thos. Friant is worth at least that much.

Geo. Kendall’s resources  are  reckoned  at 
$200,000, and  C. W. Coit’s  landed  estate  is 
worth fully as  much,  and  will  probably  be 
worth a million within twenty years.

1. M.  Clark, of  Clark,  Jewell  &  Co.,  is 
thought to be worth $200,000.  He owns sev­
eral tracts of Minnesota pine, and is interest­
ed with his brother, M. J.,  in  other  timber 
speculations.

Among the persons  whose  property  will 
aggregate in the  neighborhood  of  $150,000 
are Wm. Widdicomb, I.  M.  Weston,  Smith 
Osterhout,  N. W. Northrup, Joseph  Heald. 
Harvey J. Hollister, Wm. Hake, D. D. Cody 
W. S. Gunn, Willard Barnhart and  Mrs.  M, 
Y. Aldrich.  D. P. Clay is also.quotedjin the 
same breath, and as he has almost  innumer­
able irons in the fire, ordinary good luck for 
ten years will suffice to make him a  million­
aire.

Among those reputed to  be  worth  $100, 
000 and over are N. L. Avery, W. S. Barnett 
Julius Berkey,  M.  R. Bissell, John Bertsch. 
Robert Cutler, John  Caulfield,  E.  Crofton 
Fox, Henry Fralick,  Alfred  Garlock,  Free­
man and  Silas  Godfrey,  Joe  Martin,  Mrs, 
Morris, Mrs. Mills, C. F.  Nason,  Enos  Put­
nam, L. D. Putnam, Wm. T.  Powers,  Thos. 
M. Peck, C. C. Rood, C. G. A. Yoigt  and  J 
C.*Wenham.

THE  CASH  BOY.

ter, it was amusing to witness  the coolness 
with which these urchins continued the  an­
imating theme under discussion.

Trials and  Tricks— Characteristics,  Good 

and  Bad.

terviewed concerning the urchins  under his 
rule, looks as if he were more or  less  puz­
zled to know what to say and how  to say it.
He is  evidently  somewhat  surprised  that
anyone should care to know  anything  fur­
ther  concerning  the  species. 
Something 
cynical in his manner  would  seem  to  say 
that any interest  in  such  gamin  was  far­
fetched and quixotic. 
Intuition  reveals at 
once that there can  be  no  mutual  admira­
tion.  Strange men there are and wise  ones 
at that, who spend a  life  investigating  the 
ways of  a  spider—its  mechanism,  its  in­
stincts, its work—and  are  every  day  more 
fascinated than they were the previous  day. 
They become men of one  idea,  enthusiastic 
in their hobby.  The cash boy, it seems, has 
hitherto failed to fascinate his .investigators. 
Acquaintance with his ways, to say  nothing 
downright study, has up to this  moment, 
is to be regretted, turned to his  disadvan­
tage.  Now  newsboys  from  time  to  time 
find a quixotic  champion,  and  boot-blacks 
get noticed by men who have made  a  name 
the  world;  men  though,  all  possessing 
one trait in  common, a  kind  of  houyancy 
which they retain in  spite  of  their  years, 
and which puts them in sympathy  with  all 
smaller boys.  The latter  would  stand  on 
their heads at the word of such  a comman­
der, whom they love to cheer lustily  at  the 
top of their lungs.

Repeating a foregoing  remark,  the  cash 
boys, a so-called better class, fail  so  far in 
the magnetism that would win  the  interest 
inspired by bootblacks and other boys of in­
ferior degree.

“I do not know,” said a  prosperous  mer­
chant, “what  you  can  find  of  interest  in 
these youngsters.  They  are  the  most  ex­
asperating  feature of  the  dry-goods’  busi­
ness.  Though an insignificant,  aggravating 
animal we can’t  get  along  without  them. 
We have several in the  establishment,  and 
if it were  possible  to  do  business  on  any 
other system, I should like to be rid of them 
all.”

‘There are some of them, are  there  not, 

who deserve better mention?”

Yes, there is the same difference  among 
them as one  finds among  men—good,  bad, 
and indifferent—or among hoys  at  school.” 
What inducements are  offered  for good 

behavior besides  their  pay?”

“Well, those who  do  well  and  attend to 
their business remain  in  the  service,  and 
have a chance of promotion.  Several of our 
salesmen were once cash boys here.”

Do the majority of them come  intending 

to remain?”

“Oh! no;  they are mainly the  children of 
parents, who, though respectable, are  poor, 
and place them here  for  a few  months to 
help eke out a living.  Those  who  are not 
discharged usually return to school.”

“What percentage  of  them do  you  dis­

charge?”

‘About ninety-nine per  cent.  They are 
occasionally  discharged  for  dishonesty. 
The handling of  the  cash  is  too  often  a 
temptation they can’t  withstand.”

Pending this dialogue a number  of  those 
persons of the third patt  passed  in  review 
before deponent and  interlocutor.  They rep­
resented in all sorts of ways  the  boy from 
ten to fourteen years ©f  age.  There  were 
cross-eyed, ill-formed boys ;  cleanly,  goody- 
goody boys;  the boy with  the  shaven  poll 
and others with  tumbled  fore-top.  Their 
gait was as  different  as  the  jackets  they 
wore, and it was plain to be seen  they were 
out of their elementlin  hours  of  good be­
havior.  One could detect in their  twinkl­
ing  or furtive eye the possibilities for  mis­
chief lurking under their regulation interior. 
To one interested in  boy  nature  as  it\  is, 
rather than as it ought to be, these  possibil­
ities were  by  sympathetic  perversity  per­
haps far more  attractive  than  any of  the 
cardinal virtues embodied in boyhood.  Up 
to the present moment the  case is  far  from 
made out against the cash  boy.

A very intelligent and kindly man  in  an­
other house, the head of one of  the  depart­
ments, took a similiar view of the matter.

How do you explain the natural  hostility 
apparently existing  between  the  cash-boy 
and persons  behind  the  counter?” was ask- 
edL“The  cat  worries  the  mouse,  and  the 
mouse would fly at the  cat  if it  had  any 
chance.  Many  people  thoughtlessly  find 
pleasure in teasing a small boy and  provok­
ing him to retailiation, rather than  creatin, 
a friendly relation.  The  same people  en­
joy  a cockfight.  They keep the little  fellow 
running  needlessly  and  he  knows  it;  he 
dares not openly resist,  on  acoount  of the 
complaints that might  be  registered,  so he 
resorts to many of the ‘ways,that  are  dark 
and tricks that are  vain’ to  get  even  with 
his tormentor.  The lady clerks are, as  usu­
al, far more considerate for these  little  fel­
lows who  are  really  very  useful.  They 
k n o w  their friends  and  there  are  certain 
people who,come to the store  who are  very 
popular with them.”

While he was speaking a row of  them sat 
under  the  “indicator,”  a  card  containing 
their numbers;  these  were  in  communica­
tion with the counters.  When  the  pointer 
called for a boy in hostility  with  the coun-

each other and relished the fun.

“Cash boy, here.”
At the sharp  voice of  the  manager  the 
boys jerked themselves into  regulation  de­
meanor.  A moment  before  they  were  all 
wire and india-rubber,  illustrating perpetual 
motion.  The  right  word  from  the .right 
man transformed every boy of them.

The evidence of a casli-boy himself tallied 
with that of the last  mentioned  man.  “If 
we did not catch a little fun now and then,” 
he said, “we would have none at  all.  We 
come here at 8 o’clock in  the  morning  and 
except an hour at noon we have no  time for 
ourselves till 6 o’clock;  then we have  to go 
home and cut wood.  During  the  holidays 
we are here till 10 o’clock.  Our pay is from 
$1.50 ts $2.50 per  week,  and  if  I  see  a 
chance to kick up my heels  now and  then, 
I’m going to do  it.”  At  that  moment  his 
pet counter called and no  fire  horse  could 
have got there sooner.

Decadence  of the Tinsir.iih.

From the Industrial World.

Will the race of tinsmiths become extinct? 
One would be led to believe so from  observ­
ing the advertisements  for  the  services*of 
these craftsmen in the daily journals.  Hard­
ware men complain that it is next  to  impos­
sible to find a really  competent  tinner,  one 
that  is thoroughly profficient in  all  the  de­
tails of his business;  and, in fact,  it  is  diffi­
cult to get  tinners  of  any  degree  of  profi­
ciency.  The trouble lies in the desuetude of 
the apprentice system.  Those  who,  of  late 
years, have picked  up  the  trade  have  not 
gone through a thorough  course  of  instruc­
tion.  Thus they enter into the active  duties 
assigned  them  with  the  most  superficial 
knowledge.  In olden times young men were 
regularly apprenticed to the trade,  and were 
not permitted to  strike  out  for  themselves 
until they had obtained a mastery of the art
It seems very strange that more  workmen 
should not turn their attention to the tinning 
trade. 
It  is one where good  wages  can  he 
obtained, the work is pleasant and  not  diffi­
cult, and should be easily learned by a quick 
observer.  But  before  one  can  obtain  full 
wages, it requires a knowledge  of  the  busi­
ness, as  there is no  obligation on tinners  to 
teach the trade to others.  Here ought to  be 
a good field for young men who do not  wish 
to go into farming or  the  heavier  branches 
of the mechanic art§.  A tinner’s life  is one 
offering few promises of rapid advancement, 
and aspiring youths will not seek  its  steady 
channels; but there are scores of young men 
who  are  steady  and  industrious  who  will 
slowly advance from a  tinner’s  bench  to  a 
position in the  firms  with  which  they  en­
gage, or who will amass enough to start bus- 
ness  on  their  own  account.  A  thorough 
knowledge  of  tinsmithing  is  an  excellent 
foundation for the occupation of buying and 
selling  hardware,  for  to  properly • conduct 
such a business,  one  must  necessarily  be 
brought  into daily  contact  with  the  very 
duties of the tinsmith.

It would he an extremely good thing if the 
hardware trade would devise  some  plan  of 
re-instating the  apprentice  system  in  their 
tin-shops.  They would thereby open a really 
new  avenue  of-  enterprise  to  American 
youths,  and would,  in  later  years,  have  a 
large  stock  of  proficient  tinsmiths  from 
which to obtain their supply of help.  Prob­
ably the tinners who are now engaged in the 
shops would offer a  protest  against  such  a 
movement.  But it does not signify that they 
would be injnred by the  revival  of  the  ap­
prentice system, as somehow  or other  these 
matters in the end right themselves.

The  Grocery  Market.

Teas are on a genuine  boom,  particularly 
in the cheaper grades, which  are  now  very 
scarce  and fully five  cents  higher,  and  we 
are obliged to  raise  quotations  this  week. 
Foreign fruits are a  trifle  easier,  excepting 
prunes,  which  hofd [their pown.  Yaleneia 
raisins  are not so fine in quality as earlier in 
the season.  Dealers must not expect  it  the 
balance of the season. 
If you  want  choice 
fruit, buy the layers or the Ondaras.  Sugars 
are  easier;  making  a  struggle  every  few 
days to recover, but invariably  falling  back. 
They are in  very  poor  health  and  unless 
some of these “short crop” canned goods men 
come to their rescue soon their  case  is  des­
perate.  Go slow on saur kraut  now, as it is 
getting late in the season and dealers decline 
to guarantee it.  You buy at  your own risk. 
Business generally improving  and  we  look 
for a good spring trade.

Ask your wholesale house to  supply  you 

with Boralumine.

The Texas pecan  crop  promises  to  be  a 
very heavy  one.  The  hnl’dened  trees  are 
bending ¡under  the  weight  of  half-grown 
nuts.

Ask for prices on Boralumine.
Last year there were twenty-four  failures 
in the retail trade to one  in  the  wholesale. 
This is out of  proportion  to  the  respective 
numbers in each line, as there  are  probably 
fifty retail  stores  to  one  wholesale.  This 
would seem to show that the re^aU  business 
is safer.

Boralumine is the best wall finish known.

Seconds Grades  of Canned Goods.

So great has been the  demand  for  copies 
of recent issues of T he Tradesm an contain­
ing the list of canned goods Seconds,  and  so 
many  have requested that  it  be  reprinted, 
that it has been deemed advisable  to  repro­
duce it.  Those dealers who have not already 
clipped the list, and  pasted  it  in  a  place 
handy for ready reference would do  well  to 
do so without delay, as this is  positively  its 
last appearance.

W ED N ESD A Y ,  EEB.  20,  188 4 .

pF ”  Subscribers  and  others,  when writing 
to  advertisers, will confer a favor on the pub­
lisher by  mentioning that they saw the adver­
tisement in the columns of  this  paper.

The organization of a Board  of  Trade  at 
Muskegon for  the  purpose  of  encouraging 
the location of  manufacturing  industries  at 
that place is a step in the right direction and 
one that cannot fail to redound to the  credit 
and prosperity of the Sawdust City.

Sh'urtleff Bros., general merchants at Cross 
Tillage, write:  “We saved $15 in  one  day 
by  perusing  The  Tradesm an’s  supple­
ment.”  And their experience is but a  repe- 
tetion of hundreds of others. [The inference 
is obvious.

The inauguration of a Board  of  Trade  at 
Muskegon and the successful operation  of a 
similar body at  East  Saginaw,  neither  city 
having  a  population,  business  or  wealth 
equal to Grand Rapids,  are  suggestive  of  a 
spirit of enterprise that  is  too  little  appre­
ciated and valued  by  the  business  men  of 
this city.

In response to the expressed  wishes  of  a 
large number of The Tradesm an’s patrons, 
it has been  decided  to  inaugurate  a  delin­
quent debtor department, in which the iden­
tity of the great dead-beat community can be 
disclosed.  Each  and  every  subscriber  is 
cordially invited to contribute to the  depart­
ment, and volunteer suggestions  as  to  how 
the project can  be  rendered  more  efficient 
are heartily solicited, and will be  given  the 
attention the subject demands.

The showing made, in another  colnmn, of 
the rich men of Grand  Rapids,  is  one  that 
will be a source of pride to every citizen,  as 
it[affords indisputable proof  of  the  bound 
less resources of our city  and  State,  nearly 
every man on the list being self-made, so far 
as wealth is concerned.  That  there  are  54 
men in this city  worth  over  $100,000,  and 
that their combined wealtli  aggregates  $12, 
400,000, is a standing monument to the city’s 
commercial  reputation  and  to  the  energy 
perseverance  and  fore-sightedness  of  the 
men who have accumulated such  competen 
cies. 

'

Good  Words  Unsolicited.

Brock & Alport, grocers, Muskegon:  “We 
are very much pleased  with  The  Trades
MAN.”

Hallenbeek & Co.,  general  dealers, Hoyt- 
ville:  “We think that you are  publishing  i 
good paper.”

H. A. Langworthy, general dealer, Acme 
“Your paper  is  just  what  every  business 
man needs. 
It is a regular bonanza.  What 
I wonder at, now that I have seen the paper 
is 
that  some  newspaper  man  had  not 
thought of that kind of a paper before.”

A. M. Harrison, general dealer at Bangor 
writes:  “Am much pleased with a commun 
ication  in  a recent  issue,  condemning  sen 
sational advertising.  We have two just such 
mercantile dudes as the gentleman mentions, 
in Bangor.  Sensational advertising  catches 
the ignorant, and in this enlightened State of 
Michigan there are but few green enough  to 
bite at so light a bait.”

Literary  News and  Gossip.

To  L e e w a r d .  ByF.  Marion  Crawford.  Bos­
ton:  Houghton, Mifflin & Co.
“To Leeward” is the  story  of  the  unlawful 
love of a hlase literary man  for  the  wife  of a 
Homan aristocrat, who  returns  the  love,  and 
finally elopes with  her  paramour,  to  spend  a 
few weeks in  a  mountain  retreat,  until they 
are  discovered  by the pursuing husband, who 
accidentally kills his wife, and only succeeds in 
wounding the betrayer of  his  happiness.  In­
terwoven in the plot are a number of  sharply- 
defined characters, none  of  whom  contribute 
anything toward making the story more agree­
able.  Indeed, it is dismal and foreboding from 
beginning to end, and its only merit is in being 
well told, some parts of the book  approaching 
high art in this respect.  The subject  appears 
to possess'  peculiar  attractions  for  novelists, 
but it has seldom been handled with bettpr ef­
fect,  and  never  has  the  fearful  penalty  of 
wrong doing been depicted more hideously.

The Art Amateur now takes rank as the lead­
ing publication  of  the  kind  in  this  country. 
The illustrations are especially  fine  examples 
of the work of first-class artists and engravers, 
and the special articles are on  a  par  with the 
other features of the journal.

The Builder and Wood  Worker  possesses  pe­
culiar interest for Grand Rapids people, as the 
last two numbers have each contained  designs 
of cottages recently erected here, the work of 
a local architect.  Aside from this feature, the 
journal stands without a rival among architect­
ural publications, and is well worth  the  small 
subscription price of $1 per year.

The Magazine of American History has always 
maintained a high standard,  but  recent num­
bers of this publication have  been  more than 
usually meritorious, if such a thing were possi­
ble.  The leading articles, contributed by  Mrs. 
Lamb,  the  editorof the Journal, are of perma­
nent  interest,  and the  faultless  letter press 
serves  to  enhance  the  attractiveness  of the 
magazine. 

•

Cheap,  Durable and  Artistic.

These three words accurately describe the 
leading characteristics of  the Spiral  Spring 
buggy.  The patent spring is  of  course the 
most valuable feature of the vehicle, but the 
employment of skilled labor  and the  use of 
only first-class materials  renders  the  work 
of the  Spiral Spring Buggy Co.  durable  m 
construction  and  artistic  in  finish,  points 
which invariably secure  the  approbation of 
all wlo patronize the establishment.

A L A B A S T I N E !

Alabastine is the first and  only  prepara­
tion made from  calcined  gypsum  rock,  for 
application  to  walls  with  a brush, and  is 
fully  covered  by  our  several  patents  and 
perfected  by  many  years  of  experiments. 
It  is  the  only  permanent  wall  finish,  ana 
admits  of  applying  as  many  coats  as  de­
sired, one over another, to any tiard  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,  and 
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.

PENCIL  PORTRAITS— NO.  1

Alonzo  Seymour, the  Pioneer  Traveler  Out 

of Grand  Rapids.

“I was born in Waterville, Oneida county,
N. Y., in 1819,” said Mr. Seymour, in  reply 
to the reportorial ’inquiries,  “was  brought 
up  and  educated  at  Winfield,  Herkimer 
county, where I  was  married  in  1844,  re­
moving  to Grand Rapids  in  1849. 
I  en­
gaged in the  hub  business  with  L. R. At­
water about a year,  and  subsequently  was 
station agent at Rockford, 111.,for two years. 
Afterward I worked  for  Geo.  W.  Water­
man, who at that time run a wholesale  and 
retail grocery  store  where  Friedrich  Bros, 
are now  located. 
In 1853,1 formed  a  co­
partnership with the  late John M.  Fox and 
Joel  Merchant,  under  the  firm  name  of 
John M. Fox & Co., and until  the  panic of 
1857 we carried on a general  merchandising 
business at  Eaton,  Lyon & Allen’s  present 
location.  When the crisis came  on we clos­
ed up our business, and for  a year  or more 
I worked as book-keeper for the then firm of 
Wilmarth & Patten.  Afterward, I  engaged 
with Win. Renwick in the  manufacture  of 
hubs under  the  firm  name  of  Seymour & 
Renwick,  which 
relationship  continued 
three years.  Then the firm  of  Seymour & 
Brown—Jas.  W.  ¿rown—engaged  in  the 
grocery business at the  preserffc  location  of 
A. Rasch, who succeeded the  firm after  we 
had been in business about a year.  In May, 
1865,1 engaged to travel for L.  H.  Randall 
being the first man to  carry  a  sample  case 
for a  Grand Rapids  house.  At  that  time 
there was but one  railway  here—the  D. & 
M.,  as  it  was  then  called—and  traveling 
was  done  almost  wholly  by  team.  My 
northern route required three  weeks’  time, 
and  included  Plainfield,  Coon’s  Hollow, 
Rockford—then  called Laphamville—Cedar 
Springs, Ensley, Lisbon,  Casnovia,  Croton, 
Bis  Prairie, Big Rapids, Paris  and  Hersey.
It took another week to  take  in  Hesperia, 
Hart and Pentwater,  *and  still  another  to 
see my  customers  at  Greenville  and  Elm 
Hall  and  other  small  towns.  Nearly  a 
week was usually consumed  in going to and 
returning  from  Wayland  and  Bradley. 
There  were no regular roads through  most 
of the  country I traveled, and it was not  an 
uncommon thing  for me to improvise a pole 
bridge over a swollen stream or stop to chop 
in two  a fallen  tree.  Wolves,  bear  and 
deer were frequent  attendants,  and  occas­
ionally the wolves gave  me a  good  chase. 
From Big Prairie  to Big  Rapids,. I  had  a 
twenty mile drive without a house  or  stop­
ping place of any kind between.  Occasion­
ally I  encountered  bands  of  Indians,  but 
they never made me any  trouble.  On my 
return trips ^usually had considerable sums 
of money, but I did not feel as  timid in the 
deepest forest as I did  when  I  got  to  the 
city.  There was no police  force  here  then, 
and (Sfoen robberies were not  uncommon.  Of 
course I  met many  perplexing  experiences 
which are decidedly amusing  reminiscences 
in this  time of fast railway travel  and good 
hotel accomodations. 
I  remember sleeping 
in a  garret  at  Hesperia  one  cold  winter 
night and finding  an  inch of  snow  on the 
bed in the  morning;  and my  remembrance 
goes back to another warm morning  'when I 
awoke with an  enormous  bedbug  in  each 
ear.

“On leaving Mr. Randall in  1868,1  took 
charge of  A.  T.  Thomas’  general  store  at 
Bowne for a year,  after  which I  was  em­
ployed as  book-keeper  by  Wheeler & Bor 
den, who were  known  as  the  “eight  hour 
firm.”  Subsequently I worked for Wheeler 
& Green, taking the road again  in  1870 for 
Wm. Sears & Co.  With  the  exception  of 
one year, when I was in the employ of  Ber- 
key & Gay as a book-keeper, 
I  have  trav­
eled continuously for  the  Messrs. Sears. 
I 
think that one of the most peculiar features 
of my long experience on the road  is  that I 
have never met  with  an  accident  of  any 
kind.  Trains before and  behind minejiave 
had smashups, but I have  never  been  on a
train that had a wheel  leave  the  track, 
have slept in hotels^Jhat_^riie^ the_next 
nighty involving loss of life, but  have  thus 
far escaped without a mishap of any  kind.”

Candy,  Fruit  and  Nuts.

The  candy  trade  remains  fairly  good, 
Nuts are steady and  without  change.  The 
new crop of Brazils will  soon  begin  to  ar­
rive.  Peanuts are held firm  at  full  prices, 
although not  much  has  been  done  by  the 
cleaners during the past two  weeks,  on  ac­
count of the floods in that part of  the  coun­
try.  Lower prices are  not  looked  for  this 
year.  Oranges  and  lemons  are  going  out 
quite freely at about last week’s prices.  The 
market East is firmer and somewhat  higher.

Another  Feature That  Will  Bennfit  the  Retail 

Dealer.

“There is only one thing neede<B^make 
your paper perfect,” writes a country dealer, 
“and that is a dead-beat  list.”  And  as  the 
writer, in expressing that opinion, voices the 
sentiment of a large majority  of  the  retail 
dealers  of Michigan, it has been  decided  to 
add  such  a  feature  to  The  Tradesm an, 
trusting that the experience of a few  months 
will enable both  editor  and  dealer  to  de­
termine  whether  the  results  accomplished 
will warrant the continuance ©f such  a  pro­
ject as a permanent  department  of  the  pa­
per.  No expense attaches the publication of 
the lists to the dealer, the only condition be­
ing that he be a subscriber; and no restriction 
will be made as to the length of the lists,  or 
the number  of  times  reports i are  made,  it 
being the intention  to  make  the  dead-beat 
roll as complete as possible, and to keep  the 
whereabouts of the  delinquents  continually 
before  the  mercantile  public.  The  lists 
furnished by any dealer will not benefit him 
pecuniarly, but  those  contributed  by  other 
tradesmen will contain  the  names  of  men 
who  would  probably  succeed  in  getting 
credit, were he not warned of  their  inclina­
tion for not paying their  store  bills.  Thus 
the system proposed  will  be  a  benefit,  in­
directly, to every dealer  who  does  a  credit 
business.  As  a guarantee of good faith, the 
names of the  senders  must  accompany  the 
lists, and besides  the  names  of  the  delin­
quents, the amounts owing should be stated. 
When the parties have removed  to  another 
place or another  part  of  the  city, that  also 
should  be  noted,  in  order  that  dealers  at 
the latter  places  may  be  enabled to  exer­
cise  the  proper  precaution.  Much  care 
should be taken to write the  names  plainly 
and correctly, that no mistakes be made.  Let 
there be a general rally on the part of  deal­
ers everywhere, with a view  to  determining 
whether the evils attending£the  credit  sys­
tem cannot be lessened.

Some  Advantages of the System.

“There is too little co-operation on the part 
of dealers on the dead-beat question,” said a 
prominent local retailer, “and I  see  ho  rea­
son why the project you propose  should  not 
benefit every one who sells  on  credit.  For 
instance, a dealer gets ‘stuck* $30 on  a bad- 
pay customer,  who  leaves  him  and begins 
running up  an  account  at  a  neighboring 
store.  Nme times out of ten the dealer who 
is first victimized will not inform his  neigh­
bor of the true character of his new  custom­
er, but will allow him to be duped, too.  On 
the other hand, a prompt report made in  all 
cases of delinquencies would  be  the  means 
of warning dealers against  the  parties,  and 
be of direct benefit to the dealer making the 
report, as it  would  compel  the  debtor  to 
settle his bills, before  he  could  secure  fur­
ther credit.”

000,000 shingles,  200,000,000  lath.  Forty 
saw-mills.  Unexcelled  facilities  for  ship­
ping by  water  or  rail.'  For  information 
about  city, ^  address j  Secretary , Board  of 
Trade.”

A Cheboygan correspondent writes:  The 
prospects for spring trade  are  good,  as  the 
attempted restriction of the  supply  of  logs 
has been a flat failure, owing to the splendid 
weather  for  lumbering,  the  low  rate  of 
wages, cheap supplies, and the idea general­
ly prevalent that there really  was  going .to  
be a shortage, all wanting to be  on  hand  if 
there was one.  As a result a  full  stock  of 
logs will be put in, and at lower figures by at 
least one-third  than  ever  before  in  many 
years.  This means a brisk business and lots 
of money for mill men, even if they have  to 
sell lower than last year, arid the  prosperity 
of the mills.
