TH E  MIGRATION  OF  TH E OYSTER. 
Wrltten Expressly for The Tradesman.

If the reader infers,  from  the  caption  of 
this article,  that he is about to read  a  fairy 
tale,  based upon some ancient  mythological 
conceit,  lie is wrong.  For the oyster has no 
propelling  power  whatsoever,  and,  there­
fore,  must needs lie calmly in its  little  bed 
from the  time  it  settles,  a  “protoplasmic 
globule,” therein until disturbed by man  or 
other of its,natural enemies.  Yet it  would 
seem to be a thing of  motion,  if  the  vora­
ciousness with which man—its greatest  en­
emy—follows and preys upon  it  were  any 
sign.  And  “thereby hangs a tale.”

Forty years ago the inhabitants of the town 
of Fair Haven,  Conn.,  began  the  industry 
of  oyster  packing. 
In  its  incipiency  the 
methods  were  very  crude.  The  business 
was commenced by men who would open the 
oysters,  and,  placing them in a “push-cart,” 
transport them to the outlaying  hamlets  of 
the surrounding country for sale.  These en­
terprising individuals would also be present 
at all public gatherings,  such  as  “training 
days” and “court sittings,” and in their “hot 
oyster tents” display their wares to tempt the 
palates of those who were inclined  to  taste 
them.  From this the business gradually in­
creased in proportions until  the  shipments 
reached as far West as Albany, N. Y., which, 
in those days of slow trains, was considered 
the maximum  of  limit  for  transportation. 
By this time, -however, the  entire  town  of 
Fair Haven had become a great oyster house. 
Every family,  from the richest to  the  poor­
est, and every member of each family, opened 
oysters  for  a  living.  The  mother  would 
rock  the  cradle  with  her  foot  while  she 
wielded 
the  hammer  and  knife  with  her 
hands,  and these were only laid aside for the 
necessary household duties which  devolved 
upon her.  The opening was done in  a  cel­
lar,  with which each  house  was  purposely 
provided,  and the supply for the day’s work 
was brought to the house each  morning  by 
the dealer,  and in the evening he would  re­
turn with his push-cart  and  gather  up  the 
shucked oysters  for  shipment,  giving  the 
“sliucker” proper credit for the same,  to  be 
paid at the end of the week. 
In those days, 
it was no uncommon thing for  the  “young 
lady of the house” to wash her hands  clean 
from the oyster mud and repair to the parlor, 
where the professor  awaited  her  attention 
at t ie piano for instruction in the divine art, 
and it is more than likely that the professor 
had filled in odd hours with the same  occu­
pation from which his  pupil  had  so  lately 
come.  Of course, with years  came  greater 
facilities for transportation, and, subsequent­
ly,  a more extended trade,  which  grew  so 
rapidly as to completely exhaust the beds of 
the Quinnipiac River, and it  became  neces­
sary to seek a source of supply richer in  re­
sults.  The  Chesapeake  Bay  became  that 
source, and from  its  waters  thousands  of 
bushels of oysters were  transported  in  the 
season to Fair Haven.  This continued until 
some fertile mind  among  the  dealers  con­
ceived the idea of bringing  the  industry  to 
the source of supply,  instead of carrying the 
supply  to  the  industry.  The  pioneers  in 
this movement located themselves in  Balti­
more, Md.,  where they reaped a rich harvest 
of dollars and cents as the reward for  their 
enterprise,  and thus was  consummated  Mi­
gration Number One.

The history of the business  in  Baltimore 
is extremely interesting. 
It was  here  that 
the process of hermetically sealing the  oys­
ter was  first  begun.  The  plant  necessary 
for the business at that time consisted  of  a 
large wash-boiler over a wood fire.  As  the 
“time” necessary to the proper sealing of  a 
can of oysters is at least six hours in  water, 
and as it is more than likely that,  as at best 
the process was a matter of  guess  work  at 
that time, the processor gave them more than 
sufficient time,  some iileji can be  formed  as 
to what constituted a day’s work. 
It is safe 
to say that if that day’s  work  consisted  of 
ten or fifteen dozen #cans it was  well  done. 
But, then,  what a profit that was to the for­
tunate packer.  Ten dozen  at  four  dollars 
per dozen was not a bad profit for one day’s 
work!  The man who held the secret of pro­
cessing them got a royalty of one dollar  per 
dozen.  Now one may buy a dozen  cans  of 
cove oysters for sixty  cents—cans  and  all! 
Yes, the secret of “sealing,” as it was called 
at that  time,  was a very precious one to the 
possessor.  He would go into his little room 
in the morning,  prepared for his  work,  and 
no one was allowed to gaze upon the inside of 
that sanctuary for love or money.  The cans 
to be treated were passed to him  through  a 
sliding trap,  and were passed  out  again  in 
the same  mysterious  manner.  No  hermit 
alchemist,  seeking the  secret  of  the trans­
mutation of metals into gold, or for the elix­
ir of life, could have  been  more  careful  in 
guarding his secret machinations.  And this 
was the extent of the business done.  It was 
not  thought  possible  to  ship, fresh  or  raw 
oysters out of the State.

Then there came among  that happy mon­
opolist,  the Fair Haven packer, who pitched 
his tent and began the  ravages  upon the bi­
valves.  He  began  by shipping  them away 
out to Wheeling,  and  there  they  were  met 
by the peddlers,  who  carried  them over the 
country to Pittsburg and other  small  towns 
through the country.  A man  who is worth 
his millious to-day,  wras  one  of  these  ped­

dlers.  Yes,  thirty  years ago  the oyster  in­
dustry in the city of Baltimore was so infin­
itesimal that it did not  enter into considera­
tion as of any statistical  value.  Shipbuild­
ing, for which the city was then  universally 
famous,  held  high  sway;  and  along  the 
docks  and  water-frontage  of  that fair city 
the chop of the hewers’ ax and the sound of 
the caulker’s  hammer  kept  up a  rythmical 
clack which was sweet music to the  ears  of 
the  mechanical  and  laboring  classes,  as  it 
told of  the  dollars  and  cents  that  were to 
pay for the goodJSunday dinner and the fol­
lowing week’s  repasts. 
In  this  every Bal­
timorean  felt  a  ju st‘pride,  and  municipal 
and State  legislation  vied in the  enactment 
of  such laws  as  would  keep this  industry 
confined within the limits of the State.  Bal­
timore had  a  corner  in  ship-building  only 
because of her skilled labor and the  induce­
ments she held  out  to  that  skilled labor to 
live—not  exist—within  her  boundaries. 
There,  unlike any  other coast city of  equal 
size,  the poor  man  could  surround  himself 
with  home  comforts.  He  had  his  little 
house  to  himself—not  a  dingy apartment 
in a filthy tenement  house—and  in  that he 
could place all  those  comforts  as  far as his 
means  would  allow,  and,  together with his 
family, enjoy them.  Hut gradually this in­
dustry,  which was a source of so much com­
fort,  went  away  from  Baltimore.  Any  of 
the old ship-builders  will  give you as many 
causes for it as there are ship-builders; each 
to  his  own conceit.  Yet  it  went, and  left 
behind it  hungry mouths  and  empty hands 
which,  perforce,  must  find  a  filling  from 
some source.  Happily, correlative  with  its 
death,  a new industry springs into life.  The 
clack of the hammer is transferred from the 
vessel’s  deck  to  the  “shucking  box”  and 
from the  hand  of  the  skilled  mechanic  to 
the  hands of  matron  and  maid, youth and 
age together.  Where  before  the fathers or 
the adult brothers of the families were alone 
capable of  earning  the  necessities  of  life, 
now each  member  of  the  family might be­
come a “bread  winner.” 
It  is  easy to  un­
derstand,  therefore,  how  within the bounds 
of reason were  the figures  of  the  last con­
gressional census that gave to the oyster in­
dustry of  the State  of  Maryland the  credit 
of feeding 58,000 people!

But  does  the  city  of  Baltimore  and the 
State of Maryland  appreciate  the enormous 
income  received  from  this  vast  industry? 
A study of  the  question  would  incline one 
rather  to  a  negative  answer.  The  city 
seems to make laws to  hamper its progress; 
the State refuses to enact  such  laws as will 
estop the unnecessary depletion  of  the oys­
ter beds, or  to enforce  those that are made, 
and evert private capital is arrayed against it 
—by the holding of all available water front­
age at  exorbitant  rentals.  Conjointly with 
these oppressive influences, the fact appears 
more  patent  year  by  year,  that  the  Bay 
is  being  depleted  by  constant  and  indis­
criminate  dredging,*  and  that  the  entire 
cessation of supply is only a matter of time.
When we stop to think that there are  up­
wards of  seventeen  million bushels of oys­
ters taken  from the  Bay .every season,  the 
question  that  presents  itself  to us  is: how 
long can it  yield  to  such  an  enormous  de­
mand?  The best  authorities  estimate that 
in  ten  years,  if  not  completely exhausted, 
the Bay will yield so sparcely that  the  cost 
of  the oysters will practically stop the busi­
ness.  Of course  this  opinion  is  predicted 
upon the  hypothesis  that  the  laws for  the 
protection of the beds are no better enforced 
than they are at  this  time.  Upon this pre­
sumption it would be a very unbusiness like 
venture for  any new  capital to seek  invest­
ment  in  the  business  in  this  locality, and 
those who have  already  invested are natur­
ally  looking  about  them  for  some  other 
source of supply.

Already the  movement  has  begun  to  go 
Southward.  From Virginia  to Texas pack­
ing houses are springing into existence. 
In 
Florida there are many houses that are pack­
ing cove oysters and successfully competing 
with  Baltimore. 
In  Mississippi  there  are 
houses that are shipping  fresh  oysters into 
the heart of the West,  and such goods as,  if 
properly handled,  will in time compete suc­
cessfully with Baltimore.

Looking these facts squarely in  the  face, 
it  is  fair  to  say  that  unless  the  State  of 
Maryland  uses  every  endeavor  to  protect 
the beds of the Chesapeake Bay from indis­
criminate  dredging,  which  amounts almost 
to  vandalism,  by every possible  means,  Mi­
gration Number Two  is  in  the near future, 
and Baltimore  will  again  lose  its  greatest 
and  most lucrative  industry.

Baltimore,  Sept.  30,  1886.

Flavoring Extracts.

Flavoring extracts are,  or rather  ought to 
be, alcoholic extracts of fruit flavors.  They 
were first  made  by the  Moors  of  Granada 
and have been in limited use  in  Europe for 
many  centuries. 
In  this  country  the  first 
reference to them  is  found  in  New  York 
city,  where  an  oilman  named  Perkins;  in 
1818, put up aud  sold  an  extract of lemon. 
Preston’s  extract  of  lemon  and  lemonade 
substitute appeared  in  1834-35.  Since that 
time extract  manufacturers  have started in 
every city.  The most  popular are  those of 
vanilla,  ginger and lemon. 
In  less demand 
are those of  apricot,  peach,  pineapple,  al­

mond,  rose,  orange,  wintergreen,  cloves, 
nutmeg, celery,  cinnamon,  nectarine,  clier- 
rj,  raspberry and  banana.  Two-thirds  of 
extracts are  made from  inferior  materials, 
are adulterated, or are imitations of the real 
articles. 
It  is  difficult  to  detect  inferior 
materials,  when skillfully employed. When, 
for example,  the alcohol is French spirits of 
high wines  and is  diluted  down to the last 
limit,  it will still hold the flavor in solution, 
and it is hard to practically distinguish from 
fine spirits of  greater strength.  A delicate 
nostril and palate can  detect the  difference 
by throwing equal quantities of the suspect­
ed and of  a first-class  article  into  goblets 
and slowly pouring into them equal amounts 
of water,  but in  small quantities  at a time. 
The weaker spirits cloud and become milky 
before the strong,  the latter absorbing water  • 
until the limit is reached.  With equal quan­
tities of water beyond this point, the  stron­
ger and better extract is cloudier and milkier 
than  the  weak.  When  the  goblets  con­
tain over 95 per cent, of water and less than 
five of extract,  the  good  article  has a  dis­
tinct taste and  smell,  while the  weak is in­
spired to a marked degree.

The  use of  adulterants  In  flavoring  ex­
tracts has grown rapidly of  late  years. 
In 
1875 it was confined chiefly to the addition of 
tonkq beans to vanilla,  extract  of geranium 
to rose, and of cherry and cherry pits  to al­
mond.  Since  then  what  are  known  as 
“compound ethers” have been largely called 
upon, not  only as  adulterants,  but  as  imi-  . 
tants.  These ethers are frequently of great 
strength,  a single drop sufficing to give odor 
and flavor to a gallon  of  fluid.  The are di­
vided into two classes,  one, the oxides of al­
cohol radicals,  and the other,  compounds of 
these ethers and  alcohols with  organic  and 
inorganic  acids.  Of the first  class,  butyric 
ether (artificial oil  of  banana)  is a good in­
stance,  and of  the  second,  nitruous  ether.
A third  class of  miitants  and  adulterants 
consists of unstable radicals made from sta­
ble vegetable compounds.  Of these vanilla, 
or artificial vanilla,  is  the best  illustration. 
These  “compound  ethers”  are  dangerous 
ground to venture upon.  Many of them un­
der the influence of sunlight or other causes, 
break down into lower compounds, of which 
one or more members are poisonous.  Many 
again  are  powerful  medicaments  per  se. 
Nitrous ether has long been used as a medi­
cine.  Nitrite  of  amyl  is  an  intense  and 
dangerous amesthetic.  The trouble is, that 
while these ethers are all well-known chemi­
cally, they have  not  yet  been  investigated 
by the pharmacist and  physician.  A  good 
extract will keep  unimpaired  for  years,  if 
kept securely  bottled in a cool,  dark place. 
Access of air causes  rapid  evaporation and 
sometimes chemical change.

Sunlight has a singular  effect upon many 
essential oils.  Numbers  of  these  are  iso­
meric (having the  same chemical  composi­
tion). The difference between them is appar­
ently the result of varying molecular arrange­
ments.  Exposure to light  changes  this ar­
rangement  sometimes  very  disastrously. 
Lemon  and peppermint  are  at  times  thus 
oneverted into a very fine turpentine.  Heat 
has the same effect as light, though in a less 
degree.  For this reason, the wrapper should 
never be removed from the bottle  until it is 
to be used. 
In fact,  it  would  be  well not 
to remove it  at all.  After  use, the cork or 
stopper should be replaced and the bottle be 
put back in a cool, dark place. 
If,  through 
carelessness on  the  part of  the  bottler, an 
extract has  become  changed in  flavor,  it is 
worthless and should be thrown away.  No 
chemistry nor skill  can restore it to its orig­
inal condition.

Chocolate.

From the Confectioners’ Journal.

into 

Chocolate is  one of  the  articles  of trade 
most  susceptible  of  adulteration,  since  a 
very small quantity of  the  cocoa  bean  im­
parts  taste  and  perfume  to  a  mixture  of 
tasteless and  not  always  harmless  matter. 
Unscrupulous  manufacturers  (and especial­
ly is this applicable to  the small  producer) 
introduce 
the  paste  flour,  ground 
corn  and  beans,  stale  coffee  grounds,  veal 
or mutton tallow (to  supply  the  necessary 
oily substance) and the dregs of ground nuts 
(peanuts)  after the oii  has  been completely. 
extracted.  The  latter  substance,  which  a 
few years ago was  employed as a fertilizer, 
and occasionally made  into  cgkes  as  food 
food for dogs,  is  now  profitably  converted 
into  chocolate.  Add  to  the  above  ingre­
dients  cocoa  shells  and  ground  brick,  the 
latter  to  give  weight,  and  the  component 
parts of cheap chocolate  are given.  Choco­
late  manufacturers  admit,  with  refreshing 
artlessness,  that  adulterated  chocolate  is 
very little used in  France,  but  is profitably 
exported. 
It is diflicult to  distinguish good 
chocolate from  fabricated,  from the appear­
ance  of  the  tablets.  Good  chocolate  pos­
sesses the following qualities: it is oily, pos­
sessing a full and undeniable flavor of cocoa, 
breaks  regular  and  smooth,  it  is  slightly 
yellowish  in color,  with  crystalline appear­
ance,  and  when cooked  with a little  water 
or  milk  becomes  only  moderately  thick. 
Adulterated  chocolate,  on

MOVING  ON.

The organization  of  the  Michigan  Busi­
ness Men’s Association  skeins to have given 
the  work  of  organization  a  tremendous 
impetus  in  this  State.  As  will  be  seen 
in  another  part  of 
this  week’s  paper, 
Cadillac is now united  on  questions of vital 
interest to the business public and Hastings 
and Sparta will undoubtedly be in posession 
of  strong  organizations  before  the  end of 
the  present week.  Ada proposes to follow 
in  the same foot-steps the week  following. 
The  rapidity  with  which  unorganized 
places are swinging  into  line  speaks  well 
for the future of the movement and presages 
a time when every community in  the  State 
will boast its local organization.

Between now and the next meeting of the 
State Association, which will be held in this 
city next March,  much work  remains  to  be 
done.  The present form of constitution, al­
though far in advance of that  used in  other 
States,  is  susceptible  of  still  further  im­
provement.  This must come by way of sug­
gestions from those who are aware of crudi­
ties in the present form and are able to sug­
gest amendments.  The desirability  of  cer­
tain  uniformity  in  constitutions  will  be 
readily  apparent  and  any  move  looking 
toward  that  direction  is  worthy  of  com­
mendation.

Another  thing  which  is  entitled  to  the 
best thought  of  friends  of  organization  is 
the improvement  of  the  collection  depart­
ment.  This feature is a valuable adjunct to 
every association, and  while  the  Michigan 
organizations are a long ways ahead of those 
in other states,  there  is  still  room  for  im­
provement in the way  of  more  uniformity 
and less aggressiveness.

The  columns  of  T he  T radesman  are 
open at any and  all  times to  the exposition 
of opinions or  suggestions from  the friends 
of organization  and  the  editor  trusts  that 
even more general  use  may be made of the 
medium  in  the  future  than  has  been  the 
case in the past.

Thompson Smiths’  Sons’ mill,  at Duncan 
City,  is salving at  the  rate  of  250,000 feet 
in ten hours.  Big logs help to make up this 
record, and the  pilers  fail  to keep  up with 
the saws, necessitating overtime work.
W.  II.  Taft has his  new  heading  mill at 
Riverdale  nearly  ready 
to  start.  Peter

SLIGHTLY INACCURATE.

The  Howard  City  Record,  under  date of 

October 1, contains the following:
At the meeting of  the  Michigan Business 
Men’s  Association  at  Grand  ltapids  last 
week it was  resolved to ask  the  next Leg­
islature to  reduce the  exemption of  wages 
of married  men from  $25  to  $10,  as  they
claimed the  allowance was  too often an i
centive to dishonesty.

lin,  who have  removed  it  to  their  place of 
business  at  Ravenna.  The first  five  mort­
gage creditors will  get  their  claims  nearly 
in full, while  $10,000  worth  of  unsecured 
j creditors are left out in the cold.

The  Record  does  the  Association  an in" I considering the advisability of.joining hands

,
amount  of  stock  and  handle  the  goods of 
the company.  The  project  has as yet gone 
no further than talk, but as all  the  jobbers 
appear to favor  the  undertaking  it  is  not 
unlikely that it will  be  carried  into execu­
tion.

The State of Georgia wants  to  appear  in 
the market as a borrower,  although she  has 
repudiated millions  of  bonds,  which  were 
issued in regular form,  and whose proceeds 
were  used  for  legitimate  objects  in  the 
State.  Her Wall Street brokers find it hard 
to sell the new bonds  without  getting them 
offered on  the  New  York  stock-exchange, 
and they have made a request to that effect. 
But  the  governors  of  the  stock-exchange 
very  properly  decided  that  until  Georgia 
made good her record  as  a  State which re­
spects her  obligations,  she  could not enjoy 
the  facility  of  having  her  bonds  “listed.” 
This public stigma upon the commonwealth 
founded by Oglethorpe and  the  two  found­
ers of Methodism may or may not affect the 
the people of that  State  very  much;  but it 
ought to do  so. 
It means  the  disapproba­
tion of honest men,  and this certainly is due 
to  a  wealthy  commonwealth,  which  will 
neither pay its just debts nor allow its cred­
itors to sue in its own  courts  for  payment. 
By express law the judiciary  of the State is 
debarred from pronouncing  upon  the  valid­
ity of the obligation  created  by the issue of 
those bonds.

In lieu of addressing  the  Retail  Grocers’ 
Association of Grand Rapids, as he partially 
promised to do on the occasion of his recent 
visit to the  city,  Mr.  J.  A.  Henry  sends 
The  Tradesman 
the  admirable  paper 
which is published oil the first  page of  this 
issue.  Looking  at  the  matter  from  this 
distance,  it  would  seem  that  the  calamity 
foreshadowed by the  writer as  the result of 
the  short-sighted  policy  now  pursued  by 
the  people  of  Baltimore  and  Maryland 
would awaken  the  powers  that  be  to  the 
necessity for prompt action.

The  offense  alleged  to  have  been  com­
mitted against the Michigan  State  Pharma­
ceutical  Association  by  Jas.  A.  Bassett  is 
likely to call  down  upon his  head  the de­
served contempt  of  every  druggist  in  the 
State; and the  Association  will  be  derelict 
in its duty if it fails to  expell  him from the 
hotly in disgrace.  A  man  who  allows  his 
enmity toward a competing house to get the 
better of his  judgment  in such a way as  to 
bring an  honorable  Association  into  disre­
pute should be denied the privilege of  asso­
ciating with decent people.

When M. J.  Bond purchased the Fred.  F. 
Taylor timber  and  mills  at Wood Lake for 
upwards  of  a  hundred  thousand  dollars, 
many business men predicted that he would 
come  out  the  “small  end  of  the  bom.” 
Time has proven the wisdom of  Mr. Bond’s 
course, however,  as  he  has  eut  about half 
the timber himself  and  nearly closed a sale 
for the other  half  at  a  figure  which  will 
afford him a net profit of  over ten thousand 
dollars.  Mr. Bond is  to  be  congratulated.

HONESTY  TH E  BEST  POLICY.
The  Northwestern Lumberman, which is 
considered  an  authority  on  things  other 
than  the  lumber  business,  thus  pays  its 
respects to this journal:
That  excellent  paper—T he  Michigan 
Tradesman—excellent because  it  is  intel­
ligent  ami 
independent,  with  its  current 
issue complete its third year of  publication. 
The paper  looks  prosperous,  yet  there  is 
one feature about it that is a little odd when 
considered in the light of  a  custom  that  is 
rather  prevalent  now-a-days.  This 
last 
number of the third year is marked Yol.  Ill 
That isn’t the way it is generally  done.  A 
majority of  publishers  when  they  start 
trade paper run the volumns  up  as  fast  as 
possible,  so as to give it  the  appearance  of 
an old established publication in the eyes of 
ignorant advertisers, you know.  Can  it  be 
that friend Stowe is not up to the  tricks  of 
the trade,  and is willing  that  it  should  be 
known that his  paper  is  only  three  years 
old? 

It really looks that  way.

The editor of The Tradesman is  proba­
bly  “up  to  snuff”  on  all  species  of  the 
trickery too frequently resorted to  by  some 
trade journals;  but  be  prefers  to  conduct 
Ins paper in a  straightforward  manner,  as 
he realizes that the unshaken confidence  of 
business men is much  to be preferred to the 
temporary advantage derived  through  mis­
representation.

T he Tradesman  admits  that  it is only 
three years old, but itli as won friends out of 
all proportions to its age, and it expects that 
a continuance of  its  present  policy  which 
recognizes honesty  as  a  guiding  star—will 
continue to attract  and  retain  friends from 
unexpected quarters.

SO  NEAR  AND YET  SO  FAR.

The opening up of a new  line of  railway 
to the Saginaws  is not  proving the bonanza 
to Grand  Rapies  jobbers  which  the  latter 
were lead  to  expect.  Previous  to  the  in­
auguration  of  the  new  line,  some  of  the 
large shippers here were informed that they 
WOuld  be given the  same rates  which  held 
between  Detroit  and  the  Saginaws,  but 
such a condition of  affairs has as yet  failed 
to materialize.  The rate now given between 
the two Valley Cities is as follows:
First class...........................................................
Second class.......................................................
Third  class.........................................................
Fourth class.........................................................lo
while Detroit lias the  advantage  of  the fol­
lowing schedule:
First class............................................. • 
........25
Second  class.......................................................
Third  class...............................*........................."j
Fourth class.........................................................“
When it is remembered that  the disparity 
in  rates  is  also  accompanied  by a  correS| 
ponding  disparity in  the  time  required  to 
get goods to their  destination—Detroit hav­
ing the advantage of fully twenty-four hours 
shorter time—the  advantages  attending the 
opening of the  new road to the  Grand Rap­
ids shipper are not apparent

Michigan lias more  local  business  men’s 
associations than any other State in the Un­
ion.  Michigan is organizing new local asso­
ciations faster than any  other  State  in  the 
Union.  Michigan is the  first  State  in  the 
Union  to  organize  a  State  Association. 
Michigan proposes to maintain the  suprem­
acy she has achieved in this respect.

Botli jobbers and retailers  seem to be  “at 
sea” on the oleomargarine  law and  numer­
ous prosecutions are likely to result from ig­
norance of the matter.

Hastings All Ready to Organize.

H astings,  Sept.  28,  1886.

E. A. Stowe, Grand Rapids:
D ear Sir—We are now  trying to form a 
business men’s association here.  Could you 
come up next week and  get  us  started,  and 
also furnish us the necessary blanks?

Yours respectfully,

P hin.  S mith.

Subsequent correspondence disclosing the 
fact  that  Wednesddy  evening  October  6, 
would  be  a  mutually  agreeable  date  on 
which to  hold a  meeting  for  the  purpose 
above  indicated,  Mr.  Smith  has  issued  a 
proclamation convening the business men of 
Hastings  on  that  evening.  Every  person 
who should  be interested  in the  movement 
is  represented  as  cordially  endorsing  the 
idea of organization.

Greetings from Lyons.

Lyons,  Oct.  2,  1886.

. Stowe, Grand Rapids: 
ear  S ir—In  reply to  the  request  of 
sident Hamilton,  I am  instructed to for- 
d you a list of  our  members,  which you 
find enclosed.
ou are  pushing  a  noble  work and I am 
t to see you so successful, 
re are armed to the teeth and  propose to 
the community of  the dead-beat  pests, 
what it may.  Our Association  was or- 
ized August 19,  and is doing  much good 
the village.  We  have  a  committee  to 
>urage manufacturing  and  are doing all 
jan to  improve  our  natural  advantages

ec’y Lyons Business Men’s Association.

D. A.  R eynolds,

‘‘Honest Man Have Nothing to Fear.”
bm the Cheboygan Tribune.
The Business Men’s Protective Union has 
;ued another black list this month.  Every 
>nth the number  of  names  increases. 
It 
surprising that some men will allow their 
idit in the community destroyed  for  such 
lall amounts as appears again some of the 
mes.  The Union virtually means that no 
ad  beat-need  apply  for  credit.  Honest 
m have nothing to fear from it

I was  thoroughly amused  at an  incident 
which came  to  my attention  while  talking 
last week with the proprietor of a meat mar­
ket in a Northern town.  A gentleman who 
appeared  to be a regular  patron  of  the es­
tablishment  sauntered in  and asked  for  a 
“couple pounds  of  goat  steak.”  The  pro­
prietor’s assistant  went  to  the  refrigerator 
room and  returned  with a  package already 
done up,  which  was  weighed  and  paid for 
at the rate of  sixteen  cents  a pound.  The 
transaction  aroused  my  curiosity,  and  on 
the departure of  the customer  I  asked  the 
butcher what  the man  meant  by enquiring 
for “goat  steak.”  Without  answering  my 
enquiry,  the marketman lead the way to his 
refrigerator  room,  where I  noticed  several 
saddles of  venison  hanging  on  the  hooks. 
“The boy’s will kill ’em,”  said the butcher, 
“and we might as well buy ’em as anybody. 
Of course we  daren’t  offer  venison for sale 
before October 1,  so we just give our regular 
patrons the  wink  and  tell  them  we  have 
some  nice ‘goat’ on  hand.  That  creates a 
demand for the venison,  and  no  one  would 
be so mean as to give us away.”

*  *  *

“Yes,  I  am  arranging  to  leave  Grand 
Rapids  and  take  up  my  residence in  the 
Blue Grass Region of Kentucky,” said Geo. 
Holbrook the other  day. 
I  suggested  that 
the region lie  spoke  of  was  somewhat  fa­
mous for corn,  whisky and horses, when the 
solferino  George  took  exceptions  to  the 
statement. 
“The  Blue  Grass  Region  is 
noted for its  corn,  horses  and  women,  but 
the whisky business has been  voted  out  of 
existence by local option. 
It seems strange 
to see a community which is  making its liv­
ing by raising corn  and  making  malt  vote 
away the liquor business,  but  that  is  what 
is being done right along.  The  South  is  a 
long  ways  ahead  of us on the temperance 
question.”

“Potato shipments  are  not  likely to  be­
gin as  early as  usual,” said  T.  F. Moseley 
the other day.  “I have  just returned from 
a  week’s  investigation  at  Cincinnati  and 
Louisville,  where  I  was  surprised  to  find 
that no potatoes would be  wanted much be­
fore spring.  The home crop lias never been 
so good witli them  as  this  year  and  up to 
the present time the gardners have been able 
to  keep  the  market  fully  supplied.  At 
Louisville potatoes were  selling at 35 cents, 
while at  Cincinnati and  Indianapolis,  they 
brought only 30  cents.  Heavy handlers  at 
Cincinnati informed  me  that not  to exceed 
three carloads of potatoes had  been shipped 
into that market  this  season.  The  indica­
tions are that Michigan potatoes will not be 
wanted  in  those  markets  much  before 
spring.

Willing to Do W hat  He Could.

Madam  (looking for country board)—You

Mr.  Hayseed—Yessum.
Madam—I shall want milk from  one cow 
for  baby.  And  eggs—have  you  plenty of 
fresli eggs?

Mr. Hayseed—Yessum, but I don’t b’lieve 

I kin give em to you from one hen.

Cadillac Crumbs.

G.  A.  Dillenbeck hasreturned  home, after 

a pleasant visit with friends at Portland.

Albert  E. Smith has returned from Mani- 
towac,  Wis.,  where he lias been most of the 
time for the past three months,  settling  up 
the estate of his father,  of which  he  is  ad­
ministrator.

Fred S.  Kieldson,  who  formerly  carried 
on  the  grocery  business  here  for  several 
years,  lias  tired  of  the  management  of  a 
stock farm,  and  will  shortly  re-embark  in 
the grocery business.  One report  is  to  the 
effect  that  he  will  buy  out  C.  R.  Smith, 
while another rumor credits him  as propos­
ing to resume business at Ips old stand, when 
Newark & Sorenson’s lease expires.

Sampson & Drury have recently  added  a 
second  lathe  to  their  cant  hook  factory, 
which enables them to turn out 500  handles 
daily.  The same firm expects to handle 500 
dozen axe helves the present season.

The organization of the Cadillac Business 
Men’s Association means  the  inauguration 
of  better  business  methods  and  a  more 
thorough understanding on the part of mer­
chants  and  other  business men. 
Its good 
results are already beginning to make them­
selves felt,  and other  and  more  important 
benefits are sure to follow.

“When I left Cadillac a  few  years  ago,” 
said Geo.  Holbrook the other day,  “I  sup­
posed I was getting away just  in  the  nick 
of time.  1 figured that  Cadillac  had  then 
readied the flood-tide of prosperity and that 
her next move would be a backward one.  I 
was disappointed in  my  calculations,  how­
ever,  and it is no secret to my friends that I 
would have been a  richer  man  to-day  if  I 
had been content to remain in Cadillac.”

Evil of Endorsing.

Judge Waldo Brown In Boston Traveler.

I affirm that the system of indorsing is all 
wrong and should  be  utterly  abolished.  1 
believe that it lias been the  financial ruin of 
more  men  than,  perhaps,  all  other causes. 
I  think  that  our  young  men  especially, 
should  study the  matter carefully in all its 
bearings,  and adopt  some  settled  policy to 
govern their conduct,  so  as  to  be  ready to 
answer the man who  asks  them to sign his 
note.  What responsibility does one assume 
when he endorses a note?  Simply this:  He 
is held for  the  payment  of  the  amount in 
full,  principal and  interest,  if  the maker of 
the  note,  through  misfortune,  mismanage­
ment  or  rascality,  fails  to  pay it.  Notice, 
the indorser assumes all  this responsibility, 
witli no voice in the management of the bus­
iness and no share in the profits of the tran­
saction, if it prove profitable; but with a cer­
tainty of loss if, for any of the reasons stated, 
the principal fails to pay the note.

A mercantile  community is  made  up  of | 
the aggregate  of  individuals,  and each man I 
helps to make its character for good or evil,  j 
Sometimes  a  merchant  will  engage  in  a j 
transaction,  and  say,  “This  is  my  private j 
business.”  The  fact  is,  however,  that  the j 
credit or discredit of his dealings belongs to j 
the whole body of  his  associates  in  trade, | 
just as  much  as  His  enterprise and capital j 
give  it  importance.  On  the  other  hand, 
when any branch of  trade  bears  a  reputa­
tion for respectability.and integrity,  it gives | 
a great advantage to  every man who is con- ! 
nected with it.  Hence the  manifest benefit 
of individuals and trades making and  main­
taining the  highest  reputation. 
It leads in 
a more direct manner than  anything else to 
permanent success.

BUSINESS  LAW.

Brief Digests of Recent Decisions in Courts 

of Last Resort.

S U R R E N D E R   O F   N O T E — C O N S ID E R A T IO N .
The Supreme Court of Yermont held that 
the surrender of an old promissory note was 
a   sufficient  consideration  for  a  new  one 
executed by a surety, even though  the sure­
ty had been released  from  payment  of  the 
old  note  by  the  action  of  the  insolvent 
principal where both parties were cognizant 
of the facts,  but, being ignorant of  the law, 
supposed that the surety  was  liable  for the 
old note.

T R A D E -M A R K — U S E   O F   N U M B E R S .

Numbers arbitrarily  chosen  may  be  used 
as  trade-marks,  and  will  be  protected  as 
such,  but  numbers  allready  in  use  and 
known to the trade in connection with given 
styles of goods  cannot  be  appropriated  to 
his exclusive use by a maker of  such  styles 
of goods,  according  to  the  decision  of  the 
Supreme Court of Rhode Island in  the  case 
of American Solid Leather  Button  Co.  vs. 
Anthony.

A G E N C Y — R A IL R O A D   C O N D U C T O R .

A railroad  conductor  employed  a  physi­
cian to attend  an  injured  brakeman.  The 
physician  after  examination  informed  the 
conductor that it would be necessary to  em­
ploy  assistance,  and  the  latter  instructed 
the former to employ such  assistance  as  he 
deemed necessary, saying  that  the  railroad 
company  would  pay  them.  The  Supreme 
Court of Indiana held  that  the  contract  to 
employ assistance was beyond  the  scope of 
the  conductor’s  authority,  and  would  not 
bind the company.

L A N D L O R D   A N D   T E N A N T ;

A  lease  of  certain  buildings  provided 
that the leasee should  “keep  the  inside  of 
the buildings in  tenantable  repair,  and  so 
deliver them at the end of  the  term.”  The 
lessor sued upon this covenant for  damages' 
on the ground that the lessee had not paper­
ed or painted the house during  bis  tenancy, 
that certain  parts  of  the  woodwork  were 
decayed,  and  that  holes  were  lei t  in  the 
walls from which  the  tenant  had  removed 
his fixtures. 
In the High Court  of  Justice 
(England)  Mr. Justice Cave held the tenant 
liable in Reference  to  the  last  two  points, 
but ruled that he  was  not  bound  to  paint 
and paper  or  otherwise  put  the  house  in 
decorative  repair.  The  landlord  brought 
the case up to the Court of Appeal, contend­
ing that the tenaut was bound to deliver  up 
the house in  such  a  state  of  repair  as  to 
paint and paper  and  the  like  that  a  new 
tenaut would  take  it.  The  Court  of  Ap­
peal held that the tenant was  not  bound  to 
do any such  painting  or  papering  as  was 
not necessary for the preservation  of  build­
ings, but was merely decorative.

P A R T N E R S H IP — U S E   O F   F IR M   N A M E .
In the case of Matthews vs.  Hodgson,  de­
cided by  the  English  Court  of  Appeal,  it 
appeared that the parties had been  in  part­
nership but had dissolved  under  an  agree­
ment  providing  that  neither  party  should 
use the firm name,  but that  both  should  be 
at  liberty  to  carry  on  the  same  business 
•separately  that  they  had  formerly  carried 
on together.  They opened  different  shops, 
and the defendent  put  upon  his  signboard 
the  sign  “Hodgson,  late  of  Matthews  & 
Hodgson,”  the  words  “late  of”  being  in 
small letters.  The plaintiff  applied  for  an 
injunction to  restrain  the  defendent  from 
the use of this sign on  the  ground  that  by 
using it he infringed the  agreement  of  dis­
solution,  and led tiie public  to  believe  that 
his  shop  was  that  of  the  old  firm.  The 
Court of Appeal  declined  to  grant  the  in­
junction,  holding that while  the  agreement 
prevented either party  from  trading  in  the 
firm name it did not  prevent  their  making 
known the fact of their connection with the 
dissolved  firm.  Though  the  words  “late 
o f’  were  smaller  than  the  others  on  the 
sign,  the Court was of opinion  that  on  the 
whole they were  not  unfairly  placed,  and 
that the sign was mot  intended  to  and  did 
not deceive.

People in the West try every dodge to get 
railroads  to  run  near  their  property.  A 
railroad man  tells  the  Chicago Mail of  an 
instance  of  this  that  recently happened in 
Kansas.  One day when  he  was laying out 
his  road  a citizen  came  up  and  began  to 
boom his town.  “I  have  named  hex  Chi­
cago,” he  said,  “and she is bound  to  oe as

Second-Hand  Shoes.

From the Chicago Daily News.

“You  wanta  buys?”  The  old  Italian’s 
face  expressed  some  surprise  and  incre­
dulity as he  rose  from  his cobbler’s bench 
and looked  the Dally News man  over from 
head to foot through a pair of  steel-rimmed 
spectacles.

The  scene  was  in  a  dirty  basement  on 
South  Clark  street, the entrance  to  which 
was  hung  with  an  unlimited  number  of 
boots and  shoes,  all  more  or less  patched, 
but in a, high state of polish, and over which 
was the  sign  inscribed:  “New & 2nd hand 
bots and Shooes.”

“Yes,” answered the scribe,  “if you have 

anything to fit  me.”

“Oh,  plenta,  plenta.  You  wanta  low 
shoe?  One dolla.”  A pair of  shoes neatly 
covered  with  “invisible”  patches  were 
brought out for inspection,  but proved to be 
too small, and during  the  search  for a pair 
that would fit,  the  old  Italian  spoke freely 
of his business.  “The rag  picka  bring  in 
de shoes.  Maybe  I  giva  him  tauna  cent 
maybe  a  quata,  and  I  fixa  him.  Then a 
second lianda  clothing  man hava some,  but 
he wanta too much  mon.  You  see  a shoe 
lika this  (picking up  a  dilapidated  looking 
specimen  from  beside  the  bench).  You 
thinka he not  wortha much. 
I fixa him up 
and brusha him and he is a vera  good shoe, 
lianda  sewed,  see?  He  weara vera  long 
time.”

A door leading into  a  back room opened, 
and out rushed  a smell of  garlic  and other 
unknown things that well-nigli knocked the 
reporter down,  but his curiosity was aroused 
by the entrance through  the  door of  a tiny 
Italian girl. 
It would be hard to  judge her 
age.  Iler size and undeveloped figure would 
proclaim  her to  be  about 9 or 10 years old, 
but the little  sharp,  pinched face  and black 
eyes would  seem  to be  those of  a woman. 
She was wiping her face with  one corner of 
her ragged,  red-flannel  petticoat  as she en­
tered,  and  immediately  seated  lieself  on 
another bench  and began to  polish a newly 
mended pair of  shoes.  This was  evidently 
her part  of  the  business,  and  she was an 
adept at it, and brought a shine  that would 
be  the  envy  of  any  boot-black  around 
town.

“Who are your customers?” asked the re­

porter.

“Oh,  a greata  mana  people.  Everabody 
that live around  here.  Too  mucha?  Hera 
pair nice  shoes, cheap.  Seventa-live cent.” 
The old man made frantic efforts  to effect a 
sale, but the reporter was a hard customer to 
suit,  and finally managed to escape  without 
buying,  but not  without  arousing  the  sus­
picions of  the  old  man,  for  as  he  looked 
back from a distance of  half a block he saw 
a dozen Italians of  all ages  standing at the 
entrance of  the  shoe-shop,  holding  an ani­
mated discussion, of which he was evidently 
the object.

The second-hand  shoe  business  is  quite 
an industry in this city.  Along all the prin­
cipal thoroughfares in  the  poorer  quarters 
may be seen the  signs of  the dealers.  The 
prices  range from 50 c, nts  to  $2  a  pair, 
and the second-hand  shoes  seem  to  be  in 
great demand,  as, with the exception of  the 
old Italian, every dealer visited was engaged 
in waiting on some customer.

And She Didn’t.

From the Youth’s Companion.

“One of the  most  striking  instances  of
‘mind-cure’ I ever saw,” said Judge  W-----
one  day,  “was  exhibited  in  an  old  lady 
client of mine; but  it  was  a  case  of  self­
cure.  Her  name  was  Norton.  She  had 
been a second wife.  She was  in  bed,  ser­
iously ill,  and sent for me  to  draw  up  her 
will. 
i
“I hastened to the house with  paper  and 
pen. 
I found a table  and  chair  ready  for 
me at the woman’s bedside,  and  in  a  few 
moments told her  I  was  ready  to  prepare 
the will if she would tell  me what she wish­
ed its provisions to be. 
I  wrote  the  intro­
ductory  phrase  rapidly,  and  leaning  over 
toward her,  said: 
‘Now go  on,  Mrs.  Nor­
ton.’-

“Her voice was quite faint, and she seem­
ed  to  speak  with  an  effort.  She  said: 
‘First of all I want to give the  farm  to  my 
sons,  Harry and James; just put that down.’ 
“ ‘But,’ said I,  ‘you  can't  do  that,  Mrs. 
Norton; the farm isn’t yours  to  give  away.’ 
“ ‘The farm isn’t mine!’ she said, in a voice 

decidedly stronger than before.

“ ‘No, the  farm  isn’t  yours.  You  have 

only a life interest in it.’

“ This farm that  I’ve  run  for  goin’  on 
- forty-three years next spring,  isn’t  mine  to 
do what I please with it!  Why not,  judge? 
I’d like to know what you mean!’

“ ‘Why,  Mr.  Norton—your  husband— 
gave you a life  estate  in  all  his  property, 
and on your death the farm goes to  his  son 
John,  and  yonr  children  get  the  village 
houses.’

“ ‘And when I die John Norton is to have 
this house and farm whether I will  or  no?” 

1

“ ‘Just so.’ 
“ ‘Then I ain’t going to die,’ said the  old 
woman,  in  a  clear  and  decidedly  ringing 
healthful  voice.

“And so saying she  threw  her  feet  over 
the  front  of  the  bed,  sat  up,  gathered  a 
blanket and coverlid about her, straightened 
up her gaunt form, walked across the room, 
and  sat  down  in  a  chair  before  the  fire., 
Thedocter  and  I  came  home.  That  was 
fifteen years ago.  The old lady’s  alive  to­
day.”

Dr. G. W. Crouter, druggist, Charlevoix:  “I

business  man  in  the  State  should  be  with­

you ask for it.”

lard we can.  We get it  in  Chicago or else­

better  than  kettle-rendered.  By  the  new 
process it requires six to eight hours to ren­

from 100 pounds of milk,  and this 4 pounds 
is one-third caseine,  so that  about 2 pounds 
out  of  100  is  real  oil,  Therefore,  100

MICH.

This new cheese is made from sweet milk, 
from which cream  has  been  removed  at 40 
degrees  F.,  after  standing  twelve  hours.
No chemicals are  used in  this  process,  ex­
cept some coloring  matter  which we make.
I have  twenty-one  factories  and  have  put 
them to making lard  cheese  as fast  as pos­
sible.  We have to work on the sly, but the 
honest farmer  would  not  take any  advan­
tage.  We get  along  with them  by paying 
them more for their  milk  than  it  is worth.
Seven of  my factories  are now  making the 
lard cheese, which goes to Chicago,  Boston,
New York and Baltimore.  The fact that it 
was made of lard sold the goods.  The skim 
cheese factories  in St. Lawrence  use chem­
icals. 
I skimmed mine  so close  for butter 
that it could not make salable cheese.  This 
kind of cheese  we  can  sell  to  the  middle 
classes,  but not  to  the  millionaires.  Lard 
can  be treated by difference  of  temperature 
and not be injured like butter.  To doedorize 
the lard we blow hot steam through ft.  W f 
manufactured 2,500 boxes of 50 pounds each 
last year.

The Tobacco  Crop.

The August report of the  National  Agri­
cultural Department informs us that the  to­
bacco crop has suffered severely from the ex­
cessive rainfall of the Atlantic Coast,  and a 
reduction in yield of a third is imminent,  in 
some districts a still larger  proportion. 
In 
Maryland it is a failure in many  clay  soils, 
and  on  hillsides. 
In  some  instances  the 
plants appear to be slowly  recovering  their 
vigor since the rains have  been  less  preva­
lent.  The quality it is feared will be impair­
ed by the excess of moisture and  unhealthy 
conditions. 
In  some  localities  in  North 
Carolina replanting occurred  three  or  four 
times.  The worst effect of excessive  mois­
ture  is  found  in  prevention  of  cultiva­
tion.

In Tennessee there  was  too  much  rain, 
with  less- disastrous  results,  and  cleaner 
cultivation,  leaving the crop in better  aver­
age condition.  Kentucky had a long  rainy 
season followed by drouth,  which  checked 
growth and seriously tried the vitality of the 
plants,  causing a spindling  habit  and  pre­
mature flowering.  The season has not gen­
erally been  favorable. 
It  has  done  better 
in Ohio and West Virginia.  Cigar  leaf  is 
looking fairly in Massachusetts, but  not  so 
well in Connecticut.  Condition  is  good  in 
New York and Pennsylvania. 
It  has suf­
fered from drouth in Wisconsin.

He Didn’t Guarantee Its Safety.

From the Philadelphia Call.

Stranger—I  left  my  umbrella  here  last 

night.  Where is it?

Shopkeeper—I don’t know.
“ Why,  you said I could leave it here.”
“Yes, but I didn’t say you’d  find  it  here 

when you came back.”

The  Grocery  Market.

Syrups and  coffees  are  well  maintained. 
Currants are  sure to go  higher, on  account 
of short crop.  Foreign and domestic raisins 
are  abundrnt  and  fine,  in  consequence  of 
which  low  prices  are  expected  to  rule. 
Canned goods are  active  and  higher prices 
are anticipated. 
In consequence  of  a  par­
tial failure  of  the  cucumber  crop,  pickles 
are bound to rule high and dealers would do 
well to secure  moderate stocks.  The Glou­
cester mackerel  catch  is  only one-third of 
the average catch  for five  years past,  being 
60,000 barrels  short,  which  lias resulted in 
an advance of  about  200  per  cent.  Other 
varieties of fish are advancing  in sympathy. 
Cocoanut  is  advancing,  on  account  of  a 
shortage in the crop.  Taken as a whole the 
grocery market  presents  a  novel  spectacle 
—novel in the sense  of  every article vieing 
with every other article to climb upward.

Candy is  steady and  the  demand active. 
Nuts  are  steady.  Oysters  are  without 
change.

The Baltimore Oyster Market. 

|‘ 
J. A.  Henry, of the firm of  Wm. L.  Ellis ! 
&  Co,,  Baltimore  oyster  packers,  writes 
T he T rad esm an  as follows relative to the 
oyster situation at that market:

Fresh  oyster  demand  lias  sprung  bp j 
strongly since this cool weather began, and. 
having now to depend  upon  the tongers for 
supply,  W6 find some trouble in filling large 
orders  complete. 
It will  be  until  at least j 
October 15 before we can  depend upon hav­
ing a continual  and  full  supply,  as at that 
time the dredgers begin their work.

Minor Drug Notes.

Indiana is anxious for a pharmacy law.
There is no longer  a  combination  on red 

lead.

Soap liniment was the  article  used  in an 

attempt at suicide by an English woman.

The British government  spends  $300,000 
annually in India  on  the  cultivation of cin­
chona trees.

The  Chinese  government  is  trying  to 
raise cassia,  but the natives  strip the leaves 
to use for medicine and kill the trees.

Some of the proposed state pharmacy laws 
have provided that only registered druggists 
shall sell patent medicines,  but  no such act 
has become a law.

A druggist recently advertised for a clerk, 
and  among  the  answers  was  one  from  a 
young applicant who inclosed his photo and 
requested the proprietor’s in return.

Adulterated paris  green  prevented a man 
from  committing  suicide, 
lie  thought  it 
was pure, and took what would have been a 
fatal dose of an unadulterated article.

A Syracuse citizen recently applied patent 
corn  medicine  to  one  of his toes,  and now 
gangrene  has  set  in  and  the  foot must be 
amputated if the victim wishes to live.

Pick Out Your Holiday Goods.

Druggists visiting the city next week  can 
see as fine a line  of  holiday  goods  as  was 
ever  shown  in  this  country by calling  on 
Chas.  E,  Watson  and  Ed.  P.  Andrew,  at 
Sweette Hotel.  These gentlemen  represent 
S. A.  Maxwell & Co.,  the  well-known  im 
porting and manufacturing house of Chicago, 
and will take pleasure  in  entertaining  any 
merchant who wishes to look over their im 
mense line.

The Drug Market.

Glycerine has advanced about 15 per cent 
on account of  scarcity  of  the crude article 
English  vermillion  and  all  mercurial  pre 
parations have  advanced  on  account of the 
advance in quicksilver.  Linseed oil has de 
dined in  consequence  of  the  low  price of 
flax seed.

Messrs.  Crookston,  Mills  and  Crawford 
will remain in town next week  to assist ihe 
Hazeltine & Perkins  Drug Co.  in entertain 
ing the druggists  who  come  here to attend 
the annual  meeting  of  the  Michigan State 
Pharmaceutical Association.

The  Coming  State  Convention.

The  fourth  annual  convention  of  the 
Michigan State Pharmaceutical Association, 
which will  be  held  in  this  city next week, 
gives every promise  of  being  the  m ost en­
joyable  meeting  the  Association has  ever 
held.  The  attendance  bids  fair  to exceed 
that of  previous  meetings,  as  there  seems 
to be a determination  on  the  part of  drug 
gists all over the  State  to be  present  Es­
pecially is this the ease with members living 
in  Western  Michigan,  who  have  been pre­
cluded the  privilege of  attending  previous 
meetings on  account  of  their  being held in 
a distant part of the State.

The offer of  M.  B.  Church  to  give  mem 
hers of the Association a ride about  the city 
and a visit to the  plaster  quarries  and wall 
finish  factories  lias  been  accepted  by  the 
Executive  Committee,  which  will  necessi­
tate  the  abandonment  of  the  regular pro­
gramme laid out tor that afternoon.

Local Secretary White  states that the ex­
hibits at this  meeting  will  exceed,  both in 
number  and  variety,  anything  heretofore 
seen in this State.  Among  those who have 
applied for space are the following:  Parke, 
Davis  &  Co.,  Farrand,  Williams  &  Co., 
Chas.  Wright  &  Co,.,  Frederick  Stearns & 
Co.,  Acme  White  Lead  and  Color Works, 
Detroit;  A.  B.  Wrisley & Co.,  T.  W.  Hein- 
eman & Co.,  Chapman,  Green  A Co.,  Dean, 
Foster  &  Dawley,  Chicago;  A.  K.  Tatem & 
Co.,  Salem,  Ohio;  Wm.  It.  Warren  & Co., 
John  Wyeth  &  Bro.,  Eastmap  &  Bros.; 
Philadelphia; Seabury  &  Johnson,  Irondu- 
quoitTWine Co.,  Cheesborough Manufactur­
ing  Co.,  New  York;  Seubert  &  Warner,

Place of Meeting.

The sessions of the coming  convention of 
the Michigan State Pharmaceutical Associa 
tion will be  held  in  Royal  Arcanum  Hall 
which can Be  reached from  either the Mon 
roe or Ionia street  entrances.  The exhibit! 
—many of which have already arrived—will 
be displayed  in  Armory  Hall,  directly ove 
the place of meeting.  The exhibit hall  will 
be  open  from 8  a.  in.  until  (1 p.  m.,  Tues­
day,  Wednesday and Thursday,  and  will be 
one of the strong attractions  of  the conven­
tion.

The Coming Officers of the Michigan State 

Pharmaceutical Association.

FOR  PRESIDENT— FR A NK   J.  WURZBURG.
As the time draws near for the fourth  an­
nual convention of the Michigan State Phar­
maceutical  Association, 
the  question  of 
selecting competent officers to guide  the or­
ganization during the coming year naturally 
presents itself.  T h e   T r a d e s m a n  has given 
the matter considerable attention during the 
past  few  months,  having  canvassed  the 
merits  of  the  various  names  proposed for 
leading positions  and  is  consequently able 
to discuss the  subject  understandingly and 
acquaint its  readers  with the sentiments of 
a majority of  the  members  of  the Associa­
tion.

In regard to the  selection  of  a presiding 
officer,  the  opinion  prevails  in  all parts of 
the  State  that  the  next  President  should 
come  from  Western  Michigan.  President 
Wells,  who  was  the first  President of  the 
Association,  hailed  from  Central Michigan; 
President brouter  satisfied the ambitions of 
Northern Michigan; and  the present incum­
bent was the  joint candidate  of the Eastern 
and  Southern  portions of the  State.  With 
these facts  in view,  common fairness would 
decide in favor  of  selecting the next  Presi­
dent from Western Michigan.

Granting,  then,  that  the  position  should 
come  from  tills  portion of  the State,  what 
town is  most  entitled  to the  distinction of 
furnishing  the  candidate?  Certainly  not 
Muskegon,  for  that  city has  not been with­
out official representation in the Association 
since its inauguration.  Certainly not  Kala­
mazoo,  for she  has  had the honor  of being 
represented on the Executive Board  by  the 
same gentleman who now graces  the  State 
Board of Pharmacy.  Certainly not Ionia; she 
has a representative on the Executive Board 
in the person of Geo.  Gundrum.  With  this 
condition of 'affiairs  in  mind,  what town in 
Western Michigan should be  honored?  All 
concede that to Grand Rapids is entitled the 
distinction  of  naming the next President of 
the  Michigan  State  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
tion.  •

in 

such 

Conceding  that  the  presidency  should 
come to  this  city,  what  names  have  been 
suggested 
connection?  T he 
is  proud  to  say  that  the 
T r a d e s m a n  
druggists of the  city are  a  unit  in  support 
of Frank J.  Wurzburg.  “Support” is hard­
ly the proper  word  to  use  in  this  connec­
tion,  for Mr.  Wurzburg has never  announc­
ed himself  as a candidate  for  the  position 
and is not anxious  to  have  his friends take 
active steps in his  behalf.  The  suggestion 
of nominating  Mr.  Wurzburg  for  the  posi­
tion named  comes  from  sources  as  far* re­
moved  from  that  gentleman  as  Maine 
is 
from California.  A pharmacist for twenty- 
six  years,  a druggist for  twelve  years,  one 
of  the  founders  and for  a second  time the 
President of  the Grand Rapids  Pharmaceu­
tical  Society,  for two terms Vice-President 
of the  State  Association,  Mr.  Wurzburg  is 
in  every way  qualified  to  assume  for  the 
fourth annual  convention  the duties of  the 
position  and to  discharge  them to the satis­
faction of all  concerned.

FOR  SECRETARY— A .  W.  A IJ.E N . 

Western Michigan  having  boasted of  the 
Secretary of  the Association  for  two  years 
and Central Michigan for one year,  the same 
causes which  would  give  the presidency to 
Western  Michigan  now  entitles  Eastern 
Michigan ‘to the  secretaryship.  As Detroit 
has not received more than her full quota of 
offices  at  the  hands  of  the  Association, 
members of the organization in that  locality 
are  inclined to accord  the  claims of  Detroit 
in  this  matter  and  the  druggists  of  that 
place  have  selected  A.  W.  Allen  as  their 
standard bearer.  Mr.  Allen,  like Mr.  Wurz­
burg,  was one of  the  early members of  the 
Association,  and  the  experience  gleaned 
during the two years he  officiated as  Local 
Secretary served to  fit  him for the  position 
to which  his  many friends  now  propose to 
elevate him.  Mr.  Allen  has  been  a  phar­
macist  eighteen  years  and a druggist eight 
years.  He is energetic and persevering and 
will honor the office  to  which  he is sure to 
be elected.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Frank  .J.  Wurzburg  was  born  in  West­
phalia,  Prussia,  April  0,  1849,  coming  to 
this  country  with  his  parents  ten  weeks 
later.  The latter tarried  in  New York City 
two years,  when  they removed  to  Detroit, 
where they remained six years. 
In  1853 he 
came  with  hjs  parents  to  Grand  Rapids, 
where lie attended  school until  1860,  when 
he  entered  the  employ  of  L.  D.  Pntnam, 
the  pioneer  druggist.  January 1,  1874,  he 
was admitted to  partnership  in the  house, 
when the firm  name  was  chauged to L.  D. 
Putnam  &  Co.  Mr.  Wurzburg  is  a quiet, 
unassuming gentleman, with hosts of friends 
and no enemies.

A.  W.  Allen was born at Schoolcraft,  this 
State,  in 1849,  and  went  to  Detroit  in  1868 
to enter the employ of Comfort Bros.,  retail 
druggists on  Grand  River  avenue.  He  re­
mained  in their  employ until  1878,  when he 
bought  them  out  and has  since  conducted 
the business  himself.  Mr.  Allen  is  “popu­
lar  with  even-body  and  particularly  with 
the druggists of  this  city,”  writes a Detroit 
correspondent,  and  it  goes  without  saying 
that 
lie  will  write  “Secretary”  after  his 
name after October 14.

Condemning Jas.  A.  Bassett.

At a special  meeting of the Grand Rapids 
Pharmaceutical Society,  held  on  September 
30,  the following resolution was unanimous­
ly  adopted:

W hereas—It has  come  to  the attention 
of this Society from diverse sources—too re­
liable to be questioned—tijy.it Jas. A. Bassett 
has been circulating false  and  malicious re­
ports to the effect  that  the  coming  annual 
convention  of  the  Michigan  State Pharma­
ceutical  Association,  to  be  held in  this city 
October  13,  13  and  14,  is  likely to  prove a 
fizzle,  which false  reports  will  have a ten­
dency  to  lessen  the  attendance  on  what 
promises to be the  most  important and suc­
cessful  meeting  of  the  Association  ever 
Held; therefore-
this  Society  condemn 
said Bassett’s action  in this matter as untrue 
in any and  every respect; that  whether  in­
spired by ignorance or  malice,  his represen­
tations  are  calculated to work great  injury 
to the  cause of pharmacy in  this State,  and 
are unworthy a person who lays any preten­
sion to being a  gentleman  and an  honorable 
business man.

Rcsolval—That 

Physicians’  and  Surgeons’  Supplies.
Visitors  to  the  city  on  the  occasion  of 
the annual convention of the Michigan State 
Pharmaceutical Association are cordially in­
vited to call  at  Mills,  Lacey & Dickinson’s, 
comer Monroe and  Division streets,  and in­
spect the large and  complete line  of  physi­
cians’ and surgeons’ supplies carried in stock 
by  that  firm.  Besides  being  a  matter  of 
great convenience to the  trade  to be able to 
secure  their  goods  in  short  order,  Mills, 
Lacey & Dickinson  are  able  to  sell  at the 
same prices held in New York and Chicago, 
as  they  are  the  authorized  agents  of  the 
manufacturers and are therefore able to give 
their patrons the benefit of the regiuar man 
ufacturers’ prices.

Effective.

From the Boston Globe.

“You just take a bottle of  my medicine,” 
said a quack doctor to  a consumptive,  “and 
you  will never cough again.”  “Is it as fatal 
as that?” gasped the consumptive.

WHOLESALE  PRICE  CURRENT,

Advanced—Alcohol, wood;  balsam copaiba; 
turpentine;  English  vermilion;  mercury; 
Venice turpentine;  glycerine.
