Trade  Press  Efficiency 

is  to  he  the  keynote  of  the  most  notable  gathering'  of  technical,  class  and  trade  journal 
editors  and  publishers  ever  held  in  America.  No  live  manufacturer,  sales  manager,  ad- 
vertising man,  trade  paper  editor  or  publisher  can  afford  to  overlook  the 

Eighth  Annual  Convention  of  the  Federation  of 
Trade  Press  Associations  in  the  United  States  at 
the  Hotel  Astor,  New  York,  Sept.  18, 19,  20, 1913

lishing symposiums  under  competent  leaders.  Many  of  the  leading  editors,  business  man- 
agers, buyers  and  sellers  of  advertising,  and  authorities  on  modern  merchandising  meth- 
ods will  take  part.  On  Friday  afternoon,  September  19,  there  will  be  a  mass  meeting  with 
addresses  by  representative  business  and  professional  men,  on  subjects  of  timely  interest

Retailers  Form  Credit  Association  at  Los  Angeles 

An  organization  embracing  practically  all  of  the  largest  re- 
tail business  institutions  of  Los  Ajigeles  has  jusl  been  perfected 
for  the  purpose  of  co-operation  in  establishing  a  better  system  for 
the  extension  of  credit. 

The  marvelous  growth  of  Los  Angeles  has  emphasized  to  the 
Leading  merchants  the  need  for  such  an  association,  and  steps 
were  taken  some  time  ago  to  bring  about  such  an  organization, 
which  has  just  been  accomplished. 

The  new  organization  is  to  be  known  as  the  Retail  Merchants' 
Credit  Association,  and  is  to  be  conducted  upon  a  mutual  plan  of 
operation. 

This  present  co-operative  effort  is  the  outcome  of  an  associa- 
tion formed  about  four  years  ago  by  E.  M.  Hitchcock,  from  whom 
ill  rights  have  been  secured,  and  who  has  been  appointed  man- 
ager. 

A  suite  of  rooms  on  the  eighth  floor  of  the  W.  I.  Holling- 
worth  building,  corner  Sixth  and  Hill  streets,  has  been  leased 
for  three  years,  where  the  organization  will  maintain  headquarters 
and  establish  its  cooperative  information  service.  From  the  mem 
bers  a  board  of  seven  directors  has  been  selected  to  govern  the 
affairs  of  the  organization,  consisting  of  the  following  parties: 
]•'.  A.  Barnes  of  Barker  Bros.;  H.  Henneberger,  Jr.,  of  II.  Jevne 
Company;  J.  H.  Lashbrooke  of  J.  W.  Robinson  Company;  C.  A. 
Parmelee  of  Parmelee  &  Dohrmann  Company;  A.  J.  Pickarts  of 
Harris  &  Frank;  W.  G.  Trimble  of  Bullock's,  and  C.  H.  Wolfelt 
of  Bootery. 

The  following  is  a  partial  list  of  the  membership,  which  is 
expected  to  bo  greatly  increased  as  soon  as  the  merchants  of

Proposed  Tax  on  Mail  Order  Houses 

Tt  has  been  a  matter  of  annoyance  and  chagrin  to  the  aver 
age  retail  man  in  business  to  feel  that  one  of  his  principal 
competitors,  the  mail  order  house,  has  in  the  past  been  permitted 
to  come  into  the  retailers  territory,  sell  a  large  volume  of  goods 
in  the  community  and  take  away  from  town,  money  which  never 
will  return.  For  this  privilege  the  mail  order  house  has  con- 
tributed nothing  to  the  local  community. 

The  injustice  of  this  has  been  apparent,  bul  the  law  govern 
ing  the  interstate  commerce  has  so  far  acted  as  a  barrier  that 
was  difficult  to  surmount  in  trying  to  remedy  the  evil. 

Now  comes  Congressman  Hinebaugh  of  Illinois  with  a  plan  to 
tax  the  mail  order  houses,  and  while  the  money  derived  from 
this  source  would  not  be  returned  directly  to  the  local  com 
munity,  it  would  indirectly  help  the  entire  country,  the  same 
as  any  other  material  increase  in  the  revenue  of  the  Federal 
Government  does. 

Representative  Hinebaugh  proposes  a  tax  of  one  per  cent 
on  the  cash  value  of  all  interstate  sales  made  by  mail  order 
houses,  and  this  amount  seems  like  a  modest  impost  to  place 
upon  a  business,  which,  by  its  very  nature,  is  having  a  tendent 
to  accentuate  the  centralization  of  money  and  population  in 
the  larger  cities,  an  evil  which  is  considered  to  be  one  of  the 
greatest  problems  with  which  the  people  of  the  country  now 
have  to  deal. 

Whether  or  not  Representative  Hinebaugh's  proposed  plan 
represents  the  best  method  that  could  be  decided  upon  or  not 
is  still  a  question,  but  the  principle  which  ho  advocates  is 
based  upon  good  reasoning  and  it  would  seem  to  be  in  order 
for  merchants  to  acquaint  their  Congressmen  and  Senators  with 
the  fact  that  they  are  in  favor  of  some  form  of  legislation  of 
I  Ins  kind. 

It  it  were  possible  to  apply  the  tax  collected  from  this  source 
to  the  credit  of  the  community  from  whirl,  the  business  on 
whhh  the  tax  was  levied  was  received,  the  idea  would  un- 
doubtedly receive  the  active  endorsement  of  the  merchants  in 
everj  small  town  and  city  in  the  country,  but  granted  that  the 
above  arrangement  is  not  feasible,  there  is  no  reason  why  these 
same  merchants  should  not  encourage  the  general  tax  plan  of 
Mr.  Hinebaugh's  and  thereby  assist  in  building  up  the  idea 
that  tin-  catalog  houses  should  be  require.!  to  contribute  a  fair 
a„,onnt   for  the  privileges  which  thej    bom   enjoy.

Panama-Pacific    International    Exposition    Notes  The  United  States  Steel  Awarded  Contract 


Tlic  concessions  district  .'it  the  Panama  Pacific  [International 
Exposition,  corresponding  to  the  wonderful  "Midway"  in  Chi 
eago,  will  be  one  of  the  most  marvelous  and  attractive  sections 

of  the   Exposition.     Many  of  the  amus ots  will   be  presented 

for  the  lirsi  time  and  will  be  notable  no!  onlj  for  their  size  and 
artistic  excellence,  but  ;ilsn  because  they  are  selected  with  a 
\  i<-\\    to    their   educational    value.      The    art    of    presenting    cj 

cloramas   and    dioramas   upon   an   elaborate   scale   has   advai I 

rapidly  in  the  past  few  years,  ami  the  Exposition  will  present 
the  world's  progress  in  tliis  respect. 

The   number  of  applications   for   concessions    is  said    by   the 

director    of    concessions    to    be    totally    unpri lented     in    the 

history  of  expositions.  So  far  more  than  six  thousand  appli 
cations  for  concessions  have  been  received  and  seventy  five 
applications,  involving  an  expenditure  of  $6,800,000,  have  been 
accepted.  The  remainder  are  rapidly  undergoing  the  scrutinj 
of  experts.  Applications  from  all  portions  of  America  and 
Europe  are  increasing.     Ideas  for  striking  features  or  novelties 

are    welcomed. 

More  than  seven  thousand  people,  it  is  estimated,  will  be 
employed,  and  between  ten  and  twelve  million  dollars  "ill  be 
spent   in   installation   in  the  concessions  division   when   the    Ex 

position    is    nniler    way. 

Director  Burt  lias  received  hundreds  of  suggestions  for  nam- 
ing the  main  street  of  the  concessions  section.  Chicago  had 
the  ••Midway,"  St.  Louis  "The  Pike,"  Portland  "The  Trail," 
and    Seattle    the    "Pay    Streak." 

The  concessions  and  admissions  committee  is  seriously  con- 
sidering adopting  a  name  that  will  be  significant  of  the  com- 
pletion  of   the    Panama    (anal,  which    is   to   be   celebrated    in    this 

city    in    1915.     Among   the   n: s   suggested    are    "The    Locks," 

"The    Canal,"    "The    Zone."    "The     Isthmus"     and      "The      Hitch." 

It  has  been  suggested  that  the  gates  of  the  concessions  dis- 
trict l>e  replicas  of  the  great  locks  at  Gatun,  and  the  entranci 
he  made  through  "Spillways,"  and  during  Exposition  hours  the 
locks  open    like  huge  gates  to  admit  spectators. 

The  whole  concessions  thoroughfare  will  he  three  thousand    feel 
in  length  and  will  run  through  the  center  of  the  concessions  district, 
■  sixty-five  acres  in  area. 

Half  way  along  the  length  of  the  thoroughfare  will  lie  the 
superb  "Plaza  of  Wonders,"  and  area  iTiiix.'Siio  feet.  Surrounding 
the  plaza  will  be  buildings  of  impressive  Roman  architecture,  in 
which  will  lie  housed  many  amusement  novelties.  Mere  also  will 
be  located  a  greal  bandstand,  the  sub-offices  of  the  division  of 
concessions,  and  a  tire  station  where  methods  of  preserving  life 
will    be   illustrated. 

In    the    decorative    scheme   around    the    plaza    will    be    140,000 
lights,  rendering  it  the  glory  spot  of  the  nighl   life  of  the   Exposi 
turn.      In  the  center  of  the  plaza  will  be  the  highest    flag  pole  in  the 
world,  a  giant   flag  stall'  donated  by  the  ch\   of  Astoria,  246   feet 
high  and  over  five  feet  in  diameter  at  its  base. 

"The    concessions    section,"    said     Director     Kurt,    "will     lie    one 

of   the   most    brilliant    and   attractive   sections   of   the    Exposition. 

The  concessions  will  be  n. liable  not  only  for  their  great  size  and 
splendor  and  artistic  excellence  of  their  presentation,  but  also 
for    the    fact     that     they    are    being    selected     with    a     view     to    theil 

educational  value."

Tin-   San    Francisco    Board   of   Public    Works   has  awarded   the 
contract    for   furnishing   the   fabricated   steel    for   the   building   of 

tile      lleW      Citj        Ball      t"     til''      I'lllted      Staler      Steel       PjodUCtS     I'olUpaliy, 

despite  the  protests  of  tic-  Calif a   Home   Industry  League,  the 

Labor    Council    ami    numerous    local     Iron     Works    companies.       The 

United  States  Steel   Products  Company's  led  of  $476,283  was  the 
lowest   l.\   $55,717,  made  l,\   the  Pacific   Rolling  Mill  Company.    In 

the  protest    by  the   Building  Trades  C eil   it   was  asserted 

the  sj Lfications  were  unfair  to  local  steel   interests.     It   declared 

that    if   the  contract    were   awarded    to  the    Eastern   linn    it    i 
be  contested    iii    tic-  courts,  and   that    local    union   men    might    refuse 
to  work   on  the  new    ('it\    Hall,  since  the   United   States  Steel    Prod 
nets  Company   was  a    foe  to  organized   labor  and   did   not   ob  i  i 

the  union   hours  or  wage,  ami  asked  that    all   bids  be  rejected   and  a 

call  for  new   bids  issued.     It  complained  that  the  eight  ii labor 

provision  of  the  charter  and  the  $3  minimum  wage  eruditions  had 

bee Bitted    fr the  spec  i  tica  t  ions,   and    insisted    that    the   charter 

provisi equiring   local   residence  should  .also  be   inserted   in  the 

contract. 

On  being  advised  that  the  contract  had  been  awarded.  Mayor 
Rolph  of  San  PrancisCO  issued  a  statement  settine  forth  why 
the  Board  of  Works  was  bound  legally  to  make  the  award  to  the 
Eastern  linn,  despite  the  protests  made  by  representatives  of  the 
Home  Industry  League,  the  Labor  Council  and  local  Steel  and 
Iron  Works. 

Rolph  show  e.l  t  hat  t  hen-  was  an  actual  difference  between  the 

bid   of   the    Eastern    firm    and    the   lowest    local    bid    of   $73,417,   tin. I   a 

difference  of  four  weeks  in  the  beginning  of  delivery,  to  saj   noth 
ing  of  other  possible  delays  which  the  local  bidder  provided   for 
in  his  price  by  adding  a  sum  to  offset  penalties. 

The  Mayor  pointed  out  that  by  awarding  the  contract   to  the 

lowest   bidder  tlie  constructii f   the  Citj    Ball    would    begin   on 

schedule    time,    thus    affording    work    in    the    near    future    for    till 
classes  of  labor.     The  statement   is  as  follows: 
"TO  THE  PEOPLE  OP  SAN    FRANCISCO: 

"'I  have  urged  the  Hoard  of  Public  Works  to  award  the  City 
Hall  steel  contract  to  the  lowest  bidder,  who  happens  to  be  the 
United  States  Steel  Products  Company,  an  Eastern  corporation, 
and  F  take  full  responsibility  for  i  hat  action. 

"The  lowest  bid  is  $476,283,  with  completed  deliveries  in  San 
Francisco  in  :'.!  weeks  from  tic  date  of  tic  contract;  the  first 
delivery  commencing  within   1.".  weeks. 

"The    lowest     local    bill  —  which,    by    the    way.    is    not    the    - 
lowest  bid — is  $532,000,  with  completed  deliveries  in  San  Francisco 
in  :;:;  weeks  from  .late  of  the  contract;   the  first   deliver)    com 
meneing  within   1 7  weeks. 

"The   difference   mi   the    tace   of   the   bids   between   the   h-.. 
bid    ami   the   lowest    local    bill    is.   therefore,   $55,717,   plus  a   saying 
in  freight  rates  allowed  the  city  of  tit   least  $17,700  ital  of 

$73,417,    in    money,    and    four    weeks    in    the   commencing   of    de- 
liveries,   if    no   extensions   of    time   tire   .asked    for.      The   commence- 
ment  of  deliveries  is  of  vital  importance,  because  the  conn 
ment    of    practically    till    other   work    on   the    City    Hall    must    wait 
upon    the   erection    of   the   steel. 

■■A  demand  has  been  made  bj  interested  citizens  that  the  con- 
tract be  awarded  to  the  lowest  local  bidder,  in  order  that  the  job 
and  tlie  money  might  remain  at  home.  To  this  demand  I  have 
given  very  careful  consideration,  because,  other  things  being  equal, 
if  the  interest  of  the  taxpayers  could  be  protected  and  the  law 
obeyed,  1  would,  of  course,  prefer  that  the  work  should  be  done

of  the  City   Hall  is  limited   to  $3,250,000.     Il    will   require  all  of 

thai  amount,  nomically  expended,  to  complete  the  job.     II'  thia 

differential  or  bonus  of  $73,417  is  donated  to  the  lowest  local  bid- 
der, the  :ii hi   available  to  be  spenl    for  the   labor  of  workers 

in  other  trades  than  the   iron   trades   is  correspondingly   reduced. 

The  actual  erecti f  the  steel  will   be  done,  of  course,  by  local 

union  structural  iron  workers,  uo  matter  who  supplies  the  material. 

"Not   loss  important   than  the  difference  in  money,  however,  is 
the  difference  in  time  between  the  lowest   bid  and  the  lowest   local 

bid.     Not  onlj   must  the  City   Hall  be  built   within  the  ai m(   of 

the  bond  issue,  so  that  it  will  not  be  necessary  to  ask  the  peopli 
to  approve  an  additional  bond  issue  to  complete  the  work,  as  they 
had  to  do  in  the  eases  of  the  hospital  and  the   Sail  of  Justice, 

but  the  City  Hall  must  I ompleted  and  ready  for  occupancy  by 

I'.H.",,  if  human  skill  and  effort  can  accomplish   it.     The  old  City 

Hall  was  designed  originally  to  cost  $1,500, and  to  I ompleted 

in  three  years.  It  actually  eost  $5,723,794.18  and  took  26  years 
to  build.  I  am  determined  that,  in  the  erection  of  the  new  City 
Hull,  there  shall  not  be  a  repetition  of  that  scandal. 

"The  steel  contract  provides  a  penalty  of  $300  a  daj  Eoi 
delayed  deliveries.  The  lowest  local  bidder  has  stated  that,  in 
computing  the  price,  he  added  to  his  customary  profit  an  addi 
tional  amount  for  anticipated  penalties  for  delayed  deliveries. 
This  would  enable  the  lowest,  local  bidder  to  deplay  deliveries 
for  at  least  seven  months  without  losing  a  dollar  on  the  eon 
tract. 

"From  information  obtained  by  me,  moreover,  I  am  con- 
vinced   that     neither    the    lowest    bidder    '    all    the    local    iron 

manufacturers  combined  could  produce  and  deliver  the  steel  for 
t  he  ( lity  Hall  on  tune. 

•■It,  has  been  asserted  that  the  United  states  steel  Products 
Company  does  not  intend  to  abide  by  the  charter  provision  that 

'every  I tract   for  work  to  be  performed  for  the  city  ami  county 

must  provide  that  in  the  performance  of  the  contract  eight 
hours  shall  be  the  maximum  hours  of  labor  on  any  calendar 
day  and  that  the  minimum  wages  of  laborers  employed  by  the 
contract. IT   in   the  execution  of   his  contract    shall    be   $3   a    day.' 

■I    ei nly    say    that    the    steel    contract,    already    prepared, 

contains  a  douse  in  the  precise  language  of  the  charter  and 
that    the    United   States   steel    Products   Company    is   willing   to 

sign  it. 

"So  much  for  the  business  aspects  of  the  matter.     Bui  there 

[9  another  aspect.     The  eharter  provides  that   thi tract   must 

be  awarded  to  the  lowest  bidder,  except  that  the  Hoard  of  Pub- 
lie    Works  may,    in    its  discretion,   reject    any  and   all    bids. 

"The  only  legal  alternative,  therefore,  is  eithei  to  award  the 
bid  to  the  United  States  Steel  Products  Company,  which  is  the 
lowest  bidder,  or  to  reject  all  bids  and  call  for  new  bids.  But 
the  architects  advise  me  that  the  price  asked  bj  the  United 
States  Steel  Products  Company  is  reus.. liable  and  lower  than  the 
usual  prices.  There  is  no  assurance  that,  if  new  bids  are  called 
for,  the  city  will  get  as  good  a  bargain  on  the  second  bidding. 
The  local  manufacturers  can  not  underbid  Eastern  competitors 
for  structural  steel  on  an  order  of  this  size. 

•With  these  considerations  in  mind,  I  think  that  II  would  not 
only  be  imprudent  and  unfair  to  the  city,  but  highly  improper 
,,,  ,,.„„,,  the  bids  of  the  United  state,  steel  Products  Company. 

••As  for  the  demand  that  the  bid  be  awarded  to  ;ni>  but 
,1,,.  lowest  bidder,  m  spite  of  the  law  making  it  a  .-rime  lor  a 
,„,,,!,,.  officer  to  do  such  a  thing.  1  have  only  to  say  that  I  will 
g0   far   fur   the   sake   of   home   industry,   but    I    must    refuse   to 

commit  a   \  iolation  of  law.

Checks  and  Bank  Accounts 


John  McGee  owed  Warren  Gordon  five  dollars  for  :i  couple 
of  loads  of  cordwood.  Gordon,  having  delivered  the  wood  at 
McGee's  residence,  went  to  McGee's  store  to  secure  his  money. 
McGee  drew  out  his  check  book  and  signed  a  check  in  the  usual 
form,  instructing  his  bank  to  pay  to  Gordon  the  sum  of  (i\ c 
dollars.  This  was  on  Tuesday  afternoon  about  2  o'clock.  The 
bank  did  not  close  until  four,  but  Gordon,  knowing  thai  McGee 
was  a  responsible  man  of  means  and  nol  needing  the  fash  at 
that    time,   decided    he    wouldn't   rash    the   check    at    once,   but 

would    keep   it    until    he    needed    the   m y   at    the   end    of   the 

week.  Wednesday  passed  with  the  bank  open  for  business  in 
the  usual  way,  lint  again  Gordon  did  nut  present  the  check 
for  payment.     On  Thursday  Gordon  heard  rumors  that  the  bank 

was   in  difficulties  and   might   fail,  so  he   hastened   to   its   d 'S 

only  to  find  that  he  was  too  late  and  thai  they  had  already 
been  closed.     The   failure   proved   complete. 

Gordon  went  to  McGee  and  asked  that  he  be  paid  his  five 
dollars,  insisting  that    it    was   McGee's  haul;   that   had   failed  and 

that    he    had   never    received    his    paj    fur    the    w I    delivered. 

McGee  inquired  into  all  the  circumstances  ami  pointed  out  that 
ha«l  Gordon  presented  the  check  for  payment  on  either  Tues- 
day afternoon  or  any  time  Wednesday  it  would  have  been  paid 
in  full.  McGee  further  Stated  that  lie  had  had  the  money  on 
deposit  in  the  bank  and  it  had  been  lost.  Had  Gordon  presented 
the  check  within  a  reasonable  time  Eve  dollars,  at  least,  would 
have  been  saved,  and  there  was  no  reason  why  McGee  should 
lose   the   five   dollars    a   second   time.      Before    the    law    McGee's 

position    was    correct,    he    was   not    required    to    make    g 1    the 

cheek,  Gordon  having  failed  to  present  it  for  payment  when  In' 
reasonably  might  have  at  a  time  when  it  would  have  been  paid 
in  full. 

The  payment  of  obligations  by  cheeks  en  bank  accounts  is 
a  familiar  business  procedure  in  every  community,  ami  an  exam 
ination  of  the  legal  relations  of  the  banker,  the  depositor  who 
si^ns  the  check  and  the  person  to  whom  he  give  it.  is  of  the 
greatest  practical  importance.  Lei  us  examine  the  legal  sig- 
nificance of  a  check,  the  requirements  of  a  good  check  and  the 
obligations  of  the   various  parties  to  it. 

The  term  of  a  bank  check  is  familiar  enough  to  all  of  us. 
It  is  Usually  prepared  by  filling  in  ink  or  pencil  blank  spaces  i  i 
the  printed  form  provided  by  the  bank.  Hut  the  entile  check 
may  be  written,  and  checks  have  been  prepared  en  manj  sub 
Stances  besides  paper.  Lumbermen  have  whittled  out  a  smooth 
shingle  and  written  their  checks  thereon.     A  young  profligate  in 

jail  after  a   spree  one,'  ton-  off  his  cuff  and   wrot( it    a   check 

te  obtain  funds  to  secure  his  release.  The  requirement  is  that 
the  check  lie  in  writing  of  some  kind,  which  includes  typewrit- 
ing, etc.  It  is  addressed  to  a  stated  bank,  which  is  directed 
to  "Pay  to  the  order  of  John  Jones,"  or  "Pay  to  the  order  of 
Bearer,"  a  certain  sum  of  money.  These  words,  "pay  to  the 
order  of,"  are  necessarj  to  the  negotiability  of  the  check — that 
is  necessary  so  that  it  may  fulfill  all  the  legal  requirements 
and    be    capable    of    passing    by    indorsement,    etc.       A    check    may 

be   drawn    to    "Bills    Payable,"    or   "Rent,"    or   "Cash,"    ami    is 

then    payable    to    bearer. 

There  is  no  legal  requirement  that  a  check  be  dated,  but 
this  is  a  wise  and  almost  invariable  custom.  Any  legal  holdet  ol 
a  check   may   fill   in   the  true  date  where   il    has  been    left    blank. 


A   check   maj    be  dated    in   th<    pa  t,  ••<    in  tin-  future.      If  dated 

in  the  past  il  is  payable  at  once,  and  if  dated  in  the  future  it 
is  payable  on  or  after  its  date.  While  the  words  "on  demand" 
are  md  used  in  a  cheek,  they  are  implied  iii  law.  the  under 
standing  being  thai  the  bank  is  instructed  by  it-  depositor  to 
pay  to  the  order  of  John  Jones  en  demand. 

A  check  must  be  signed  by  the  depositor  ami  usually  in  bl- 
own hand,  though  contract  relations  between  bank  ami  de 
positor  ma\  authorize  the  use  of  a  rubber  stamp,  or  some  Buch 
device  in   place  of  a  written  signature. 

In   law  the  person   who  draws  a   check   and  gives   it   to  anol 
is   understood    to   agree   that    he    will   stand    bad.    of   tin-   , 

ami  see  to   it  that   the   pei receii  ing    it    sec -   the   uieiie\    I'm 

which    it   calls,   provided    he   handle-    n    in   a    proper  ami    lea-enable 

manner.  If  the  person  receiving  a  check  presents  it  to  the  bank 
within  a  reasonable  time,  and  the  bank  dishonors  the  check, 
and  he  then  gives  notice  of  this  to  the  person  who  drew  it.  that 
drawer  is  bound  to  pay  to  him  the  amount  id'  the  check.  A 
check    should   be   presented  during   business   hours   by   a    |  ■ 

entitled    to    receive    money    en    it    on    the    next    business    day    after 

receipt,  at  the  latest.  As  «e  noticed  in  the  case  of  John  McGee 
and  Warren  Gordon,  if  the  check  is  not  presented  within  this 
time,  and  the  hank  fails,  the  loss  must  fall  upon  tin  person 
who  failed  In  present  it.  But  if  the  depositor  suffer  no  less  be 
cause  of  the  delay  in  presenting  the  check  he  cannot  escape 
liability  if  it  is  dishonored.  Thus  if  Warren  Gordon  had  care- 
lessly kept  McGee's  check  several  days  before  presenting  it 
for  payment  and  in  the  meantime  Mctlee  had  withdrawn  i 
account  from  the  bank,  there  being  no  failure.  Mctlee  would  have

If  a  check,  is  received  drawn  upon  a  bank  in  another  city  it 
cannot,  of  course,-be  presented  for  payment  on  that  or  the  next 
business  day.  so  it  is  sufficient  if  the  check  is  put  in  course  of 
celled  ion  on  the  business  day  following  its  receipt.  One 
should  b«>  as  prompt  in  giving  notice  to  the  drawei  of  the  refusal 
of  the  bank  to  pay  a  check  as  to  put   it  in  course  of  collection. 

A  check  that  is  drawn  payable  to  "Bearer"  may  bi 
ferred  simply  by  delivery,  banding  it  from  en,'  t..  another.  If 
the  check  is  drawn  payable  to  "John  Jones,"  John  .(ones  may 
transfer  it  by  indorsement — thai  is,  bv  writing  his  name  on 
the  back.  If  he  indorses  in  blank  he  simply  writes  his  name. 
"John  Jones,"  across  the  end  of  the  back  of  the  check,  when  it 
is  payable  te  anyone  who  nun-  held  it.  If  John  denes  should 
write  "Pay  to  the  order  of  Sam  Smith.  John  Jones.  - 
Smith  alone  would  then  have  the  right,  to  present  it  for  pay- 
ment or  transfer  it  by  further  indorsement.  The  blank  in- 
dorse  ut    of  the  person   presenting  the  check  at  the  bank   is.  of 

course,  sufficient  to  transfer  the  legal  rights  in  the  che.de  to 
the    bank. 

line  who  takes  a  check  from  another  usually  requires  that 
he  indorse  it  even  though  it  be  already  indorsed  in  blank  or

cheek  you  make  that  promise  to  all  future  holders  of  the  check. 
If  you  are  compelled  to  make  it  good  you  may  have  recourse  in 
turning  against  those  who  transferred  the  cheek  to  you  and 
whose  names  appear  on  the  back  as  indorsees,  or  on  the  face 
as  signers. 

While  the  bank  owes  a  duty  to  depositor  to  pay  his 
proper  check  drawn  against  an  adequate  deposit,  the  banker  is 
not  bound  to  pay  any  chock  as  against  a  holder  of  it.  The 
rights  of  the  holder  are  against  the  signer  of  the  cheek,  and 

those   who   transferred    it   to   him.      But   if  a  bank   -tines   a 

check,  it  becomes  bound  to  pay  it  to  a  proper  holder.  Certifies 
tion  of  a  check  is  secure, I  by  presenting  it  to  the  cashier  of  the 

bank  against  which  it  is  drawn.  Upon  determining  that  the 
signer    has   funds    sufficient    to   cover    the    check    on    deposit,   and 

seeing  to  it  that  they  are  set  aside  for  that  purpose,  the  cashier 
marks  -Cert  died"   across  the  face  of  the  chock  and   adds  his 

official  signature.  The  fun. Is  to  cover  this  cheek  are  then  with- 
drawn from  the  control  of  the  depositor  who  signed  the  cheek 
and  he  may  not  stop  payment  of  it,  or  withdraw  the  funds  to 
cover  it.  The  bank  becomes  absolutely  bound  to  pay  it,  and 
the  check  is  as  good  as  the  bank.  Usually  the  person  who 
signs  a  check  has  it  certified  in  order  than  one  to  whom  he 
would  give  it  in  payment  of  an  obligation  will  lie  more,  ready 
to  receive  it.  His  liabilities  on  the  check  remain  the  same  if 
he  has  it  certified.  But  if  one  who  holds  tlio  chock,  other  than 
the  person  who  drew  it,   has  it  certified,   ho  then   in   effort    says 

that  he  chooses  to  look  to  the  bank   for  payment   of  the  el k, 

and  the  depositor  who  signed  it  ami  all  who  indorsed  it  before 
him  are  relieved  from  their  liabilities,  the  bank  alone  becoming 
liable  to  the  holder. 

If  an  ordinary  check  comes  to  you  the  safe  procedure  is  to 
either  present  it  to  the  bank  on  which  it  is  drawn  and  secure  the 
cash,  or  to  deposit  it  in  your  own  bank  for  collection,  and  do 
,1,,,  within  twenty-four  hours  after  it  is  received,  or  at  least  on 
the  next  business  day.  It  may  seem  immediately  convenient  to 
turn  another's  check  over  to  a  third  party,  but  if  you  do  so 
recognize  the  risks  involved.  The  safe  procedure  is  to  cash 
the  check  you  have  ami  pay  the  third  party  by  your  own  per- 
sonal check  on  your  own  account  or  with  the  ensh   received.

To  Facilitate  Shipments 


The  Smith  &  Ilemenway  Company,  150-152  Chambers  street,

two   places  they    have  arranged    to   carry   at   the   factory.   Irving 
ton  Mfg.   Company.    L30  Coit   street,   [rvington,   X.  J.,  a   complete 
-lock   alter  duly   10th,  and  all  shipments  will  be  made  fron 
[rvington   Mfg.  Company  after  that  date. 

This  enterprise  is  a  movement  in  the  right  direction,  a-  n 
means  facilitating  shipment  to  customers  and  making  more 
prompt  delivery.  Also,  they  have  largely  increased  the  facilities 
of  the  factory  and  stock  room  to  take  care  of  additional  stoch 
and   of  their  increasing  business. 

It    might    be    well    to   mention    the    fact    that    they   are    maun

Geo.  King  is  Now  a  Fan 

A  telegram  from  ChicO,  Cal..  gives  what  is  considered  a 
most  K lerful  piece  of  news.  This  is  the  new-:  "After  trav- 
eling  Up  and  down  the  valley  for  twenty-five  years  and  ma 

his  "headquarters     in     San     Francisco,     G ge     King,     traveling 

salesman  for  llolbrook.  Merrill  &  Stetson,  attended  here  what 
he  says  is  the  first  baseball  game  he  ever  saw.  It  was  the 
Chico-Sacramento  game,  and  King  was  so  impressed  that  he 
declares  he  will  be  a  regular  fan  hereafter."  We  believe  that 
Mr.  King  is  the  only  traveling  man  in  the  United  Stales  that 
can    show    such    a    record.

Fixed  Prices  Versus  Cut  Prices 


One  of  the  industrial  questions  of  the  day  which   is  likely  in 

the  near  future  to  demand  a  large  a unl  of  public  attention  .- 1 1 1 ■  I 

discussion  is  this:  Shall  manufacturers  be  permitted  to  fix  the 
retail  price  of  a  Nationally  advertised  article  and  to  maintain  thai 
price  by  the  aid  of  the  law?  This  was  the  subject  of  discussion 
of  a  largely  attended  and  very  pleasant  dinner  of  the  Association 
of  National  Advertising  Managers,  which  was  held  at  the  Hotel 
Aslor  in  New  York  City  recently.  The  chief  speaker  of  the  even 
inn  was  Mr.  Louis  D.  Brandeis,  the  distinguished  Boston  lawyer, 
who  is  one  of  the  champions  of  the  anti-monopoly  movement  in 
this  country.  His  well-known  opposition  to  artificial  industrial 
monopoly  and  his  equally  well-known  insistence  that  natural  or 
semi-natural  monopolies,  like  the  railways,  shall  lie  stringently 
regulated  by  the  Government,  give  special  value  and  interest  to 
his  views  on  the  above-stated  question  regarding  retail  prices. 
He  believes,  as  he  stated  at  this  dinner,  and  "The  Outlook"  heartily 
shares  his  belief,  that  social  justice  requires  that  the  manufacturer 
of  an  article  for  which  he  has  created  a  National  reputation  by 
his  honesty,  efficiency,  and  advertising  shall  be  permitted  to  name 
and  maintain  the  retail  price  at  which  that  article  shall  be  sold. 
Many  people  have  a  vague  impression  that  this  is  fostering 
monopoly,  and  Mr.  Brandeis  took  the  occasion  to  say  that  there 
should  be  made  in  the  public  mind  a  clear  distinction  between  a 
combination  of  all  the  manufacturers  in  a  certain  line  of  trade 
to  fix  the  price  of  the  entire  product  of  that  trade,  which  is 
monopoly,  and  the  perfectly  proper  ami  desirable  effort  of  a 
single  manufacturer  to  fix  the  price  of  a  single  article  which  he 
alone  makes. 

Questions  of  this  nature  can  often  be  illumined  by  illustrations 
drawn  from  the  common  and  ordinary  affairs  of  every-day  life. 
For  instance,  there  are  two  white  floating  soaps  manufactured  in 
this  country,  which,  because  of  their  special  qualities  and  their 
very  wide  advertising,  have  been  made  known  to  every  house- 
keeper in  the  land.  One  is  Ivory  Soap,  made  by  the  Proctor 
&  Gamble  Company;  the  other  is  Fairy  Soap,  made  by  the  N.  K. 
Pairbank  Company.  It  is  to  the  advantage  of  the  housekeeper 
to  know  when  she  pays  five  cents  for  a  cake  of  Ivory  Soap  or  of 
Fairy  Soap  that  every  other  housekeeper  in  every  other  com- 
munity of  the  United  States  is  paying  the  same  price.  Special 
privilege  to  destroy,  which  is  one  of  the  great  ends  of  the  modern 
movement  for  social  justice,  is  thus  eradicated,  for  every  house- 
keeper is  receiving  equal  treatment  with  every  other  housekeeper. 
But  this  is  not  monopoly,  for  Fairy  Soap  and  Ivory  Soap  are 
constantly  and  everywhere  competing  against  each  other.  If  the 
manufacturers  of  Fairy  Soap  and  Ivory  Soap  combine  to  raise  the 
price  to  ten  cents,  some  other  soap  manufacturer  will  at  once 
enter  the  tield  on  a  five-cent  basis.  What  the  Government  must  not 
do  is  to  permit  all  the  soap  manufacturers  to  combine  tor  a 
control  of  all  soap  fats  and  other  ingredients  and  of  the  patented 
machinery  for  making  soap,  so  that  they  can  raise  the  price  to 
an  exorbitant  figure  ami  keep  out  of  the  trade  any  manufacturer 
who  wishes  to  compete  with  them.  This  is  putting  in  plain  language 
tin-  fundamental  distinction  between  price  fixing  and  price  mo- 
rn i  poly. 

At  the  dinner  to  which  we  have  referred,  Mr.  Henry  B.  Joy. 
president  of  the  Packard  Motor  Car  Company,  in  his  address, 
.•ailed  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  Department  of  Justice  at 
Washington  is  on  record  as  desiring  to  enjoin  or  forbid  manu- 
facturers of  specially  branded  and  advertised  articles  "from  ex 
acting  in  any  manner  an  agreement  or  understanding  from  the. 
retailers  of  said  product  that  they  shall  sell  the  same  at  a  price 
axed,  or  at  any  other  uniform  price."  If  this  is  a  correct  in- 
terpretation of  the  attitude  of  the  present  Administration  as  to 
retail  pricing,  we  believe  that  the  Government  in  its  honest  en 
deavor  I"  promote  social  justice  is  really  undermining  it.

THE    NUSIlLf    WAY  Rochester,   N.   Y. 


. 


Another  speaker  at  the  dinner.  Mr.  William  EC.  Cngersoll,  of 
the  firm  which  supplies  Americans  with  an  excellent  and  serviceable 
watch  at  the  extraordinary  pri( f  one  dollar — a  price  which  can- 
not by  the  most  enthusiastic  anti-monopolist  be  called  excessive — 
pointed  out  that  Denmark,  a  country  which  has  been  most  ion 
gressive  in  pro-social  ami  'anti-privilege  legislation,  has  passed 
laws  making  indiscriminate  price-cutting  illegal.  Mr.  [ngersoll 
also  quoted  German  court  decisions  which  have  sustained  the  prin- 
ciple that  price-cutting  by  retailers  is  often  destructive  of  real 
competition.  The  intelligent  discussion  and  the  proper  soli 
of  this  question  of  retail  prices  of  standard  articles  of  trad.-  is 
one.  in  our  judgment,  of  great  political  and  social  importance  to 
the   consumer  as   well    as    to    the   manufacturer. 


Are  You  Selling  Fly  Traps? 

Dealers  should  take  advantage  of  the  Nation-wide  move 
ment  for  fly  extermination  by  pushing  the  sale  of  fly  traps,  etc. 
The  public  is  generally  alive  to  the  fad  thai  flies  carry  dis- 
ease thai  kills  more  people  annually  than  all  other  causes 
combined  and  is  ready  and  willing  to  rid  the  community  of 
the  pests.  Om-  of  the  safe  ways  to  exterminate  flies  in  quan- 
tities    is     by     means      of     :i     g I     trap     made     of     wire      screen. 

After   the   trap    is    full    of   the    pests,    it    should   be    immersed    in 
scalding   water.     The  thousands  of  dead   flies  can   then   1m 
to  the  chickens.     A   trap  that    is   successful   in   performing  this 
duty   and    is   meeting  with    large   sale   nil   over   the    I'm; 
is    called    the    "Perfect,"    manufactured    by    the    Ludlow  Si 
Wire    Co.,    of    St.    Louis.    Mo.      Dealers    should    not    overlook    this 
profitable    trade,    as    but    one    word    will    sell    a    trap    to    every 
family    in    the    community.

Claims  for  Commissions 

The  secretary  of  one  of  the  implement  associations  Ins  received 
a  number  of  complaints  from  members  who  assert  that  manufac- 
turers and  jobbers  have  refused  to  pay  commissions  on  sales  of 
heavy  machines  effected  through  the  work  of  the  dealers,  the  sellers 
claiming  in  some  cases  that  the  prices  obtained  were  not  largi 
enough  to  permit  payment  of  commissions,  in  others  that  the 
dealers  were  not  giving  the  sellers  sufficient  business  I"  warrant 
them    in   demanding   commissions    on    a    single   sale. 

Of  course,  there  are  two  sides  to  every  story,  according  to  the 
Farm  Implement  News,  and  it  would  be  unfair  to  pass  judgment 
"ii  any  of  these  cases  without  hearing  from  the  manufacturers  or 
jobbers,     it  is  almost  inconceivable  that  any  concern  would  refuse 

to   pay  a   i [mission  on  a  sale  resulting  from  the  efforts  or  the 

assistance  of  a  dealer  on  the  ground  that  the  volume  of  business 
given  the  seller  is  small;  but  if  it  is  true,  the  dealer  should  lose 
no  time  in  taking  legal  steps  to  collect  his  claim. 

We  are  familiar  with  other  eases  in  which  manufacturers  or 
jobbers  have  refused  to  pay  commissions  because  the  dealer, 
in  his  eagerness  to  get  the  order,  cut  the  price  below  instructions, 
the  reduction  having  absorbed  the  dealer's  percentage  of  the  seller's 
retail  price.  Where  definite  instructions  are  given  as  to  price,  and 
the  commission  is  to  l>e  figured  thereon,  if  the  dealer  ignores  in- 
structions and  sells  the  machine  at  the  net  price  he  is  in  the 
same  position  that  he  would  be  had  he  sold  at  cost  a  machine 
bought   outright. 

Dealers  often  cut  the  lisl  price,  knowing  the  reduction  will  be 
deducted  from  their  commission;  if  the  reduction  equals  the  com- 
mission, it  is  optional  with  the  seller  whether  anj  commission  will 
lie  paid.  In  the  absence  of  positive  instructions  as  to  price,  we  are 
of  the  opinion  that  the  seller  who  accepts  an  order  is  obligated 
to  compensate  the  dealer,  regardless  of  the  price  obtained. 

It,  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  the  terms  and  conditions 

under  which  sales  of  the  character  indicated  are  to  be  made  si I, l 

be  definitely  stated  in  writing.     When  this  is  dt there  is   little 

or  ii"  chat for  a  cont  roversj .

In  referring  to  the  fitness  of  materials  for  preventing  sound 
transmission  in  buildings,  Edward  \V.  DeKnight  of  the  Hydrex 
Felt  &  Engineering  Co.  states  that  wonderful  strides  have  been 
made  in  modern  sanitation,  i.  e.,  in  the  extermination  of  the 
mosquito,  the  stamping  out  of  the  white  plague,  the  abolishing 
of  the  public  drinking  cup  and  common  towel,  instruction  of 
public  school  pupils  in  personal  hygienics,  the  prevention  by 
the  State  of  diseases  peculiar  to  trades  and  occupations,  etc., 
but  it  seems  rather  remarkable  that  no  public  attention  has 
been  directed,  and  no  health  authority  has  taken  action,  to 
prevent  the  use  in  the  floors  of  our  schools,  churches,  residences, 
apartment  hotels,  etc.,  for  sound-proofing,  of  such  unclean, 
unsanitary  materials  as,  for  instance,  felts  composed  of  cattle 
hair  and  sea  grass.  Cattle  hair  matted  into  a  felt  (commer- 
cially called  "hair  felt")  comes  from  hides  dragged  through 
the  dirt  and  filth  of  slaughter  houses.  Any  amount  of  washing 
cannot  take  away  the  danger  of  deriving  from  the  hair  that 
insidious  disease  "anthrax."  Place  the  hail"  in  water  or  leave 
it  in  a  damp  place  and  note  the  result. 

There  is  real  menace  to  health  in  placing,  especially  under 
a  bedroom  floor,  such  a  material.  Its  use,  at  least  under  floors, 
should  be  prohibited  by  law  until  some  process  has  been  devised 
and  adopted  by  which  the  material  has  been  rendered  truly 
antiseptic.  The  floor  is  the  receptacle  of  all  dust,  dirt  and 
spillings  which  sift  through  to  the  underlying  material,  tending 
to  set  up  decomposition  in  any  animal  and  vegetable  matter, 
which  becomes  the  more  filthy  and  vermin-filled  the  longer 
it  remains.  There  should  be  used  under  a  floor  only  on  abso 
lately    sanitary,    non-absorbent,    vermin-proof    material. 

We  are  admonished  by  medical  authorities  against  leaving 
over  night  in  our  sleeping  rooms  flowers,  fruit  parings,  etc., 
i.e. ans,.  there  is  ilirown  off  carbonic  acid  gas  the  very  poison 
exhaled  by  our  lungs.     Vet   we  go  to  the  very  opposite  extreme 

in    placing    under    sleeping    and    even    nursery    II >     (our    first 

playground)    such    unclean    animal    matter    as    cattle    hair    and 

vegetable  matter  as   seaw I.   neither  of   which    improves   with 

age    and    both    of    which    harbor    and    nourish    vermin. 

We    bave   seen,   around    a    steam    pipe,    hair    felt   alive   with 
fleas,    which    nol     only    nest     in    but     live    on    the    animal    matter. 
We   have   also   seen    iii   storage   a    roll   of   grass    fell    harboring 
mice  and   rats,  which  scampered  away  when   the   roll   was  ovet 
turned.       II     hardly    seems    like    the    exercise    of    average    intclli-

gence  to  use  under  any  floor  any  lining  which  will  nol  only 
harbor  but  will  attract  moths,  bugs  and  other  vermin,  when 
we  are  constantly  seeking  methods  and  materials  to  eradicate 
and  keep  oul  vermin  and  instinctively  abhor  those  things  which 
nourish    and    breed    them. 

Another  serious  drawback  to  sea  grass  is  thai  it  contains 
i  considerable  quantity  of  salt;  the  sail  not  only  corrodes  the 
nails  in  the  floor,  but  in  damp  weather  attracts  moisture,  caus- 
ing,  in  time,  the  floor  boards  to  warp  badly. 

It  matters  not  that  hair  felt  or  Beaweed  and  grass  felts 
arc  admittedly  good  sound  deadeners.  They  also  arc  admittedly 
unclean  and  hazardous.     Therefore,  they  should   not,  under  any 

circumstances,  be  used,  especially   when  then!  can   1 btained 

clean,    safe,    sanitary    and     more    modem     materials.       There     is 

n. i   need   whatever  that  soundproofness  be   had    al    tl xpense 

of  sanitation.  After  all,  the  comfort  afforded  by  soundproof- 
ness  is   not   as  vital  as  good  health. 

Aside,  therefore,  from  all  other  consideration  of  the  prin- 
ciples underlying  the  prevention  of  sound  construction,  the 
paramount   consideration   must  always   be: 

What    is    the    character    of    the    material,    i.    e.,    is    it     i 

absorbent  of  dirt,  moisture  and  odors?  Is  it  proof  against 
vermin?      Is   it    clean   and   sanitary? 


The  Life  of  the  Engine 


Secretary  II.  R.  Urate  of  the  National  Gas  Engine  Association 
has  undertaken  to  gather  statistics  to  determine  the  average  life 
of  the  farm  engine.  In  a  recent  bulletin  to  the  members  he 
calls  attention  to  the  importance  of  this  subject  and  suggests 
that  such  facts  as  the  individual  manufacturers  may  have  pertain 
ing  to  this  matter  be  submitted  to  him  for  compilation. 

This  is  a  commendable  undertaking  and  we  hope  engine  manu- 
facturers will  respond  with  alacrity.  Aside  from  the  demonstrable 
efficiency  of  the  gasoline  engine  in  handling  farm  tasks  one  of  the 
most  effective  arguments  is  that  of  economy.  Clearly  economy 
includes  long  life  as  well  as  such  other  factors  as  low  repair  lia- 
bility and  low  fuel  consumption.  An  engine  should  last  in  efficient 
condition  long  enough  for  ordinary  business  depreciation  ratios  to 
wipe  out  its  original  cost  before  replacement  becomes  necessary. 
If  facts  prove  that  the  ordinary  engine  lasts  that  long  or  longer 
then  force  is  given  to  the  economy  argument.  In  the  present 
state  of  dealer  knowledge  on  this  point  the  argument  rests  too 
much  upon  theory. 

Engines  in  abundance  have  been  at  work  long  enough  on  some 
farms  to  warrant  conclusions  of  value  in  this  connection.  It  is 
a  timely  move  to  collect  such  information  as  it  is  possible  to  se- 
cure, and  where  manufacturers  have  not  hitherto  taken  any  in- 
terest in  the  matter,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  Secretary  Urate's  re- 
quest will  suffice  to  enlist  their  active  participation  in  investiga- 
tion.   

Pig   Iron   Again   Lower 


Further  break  in  pig  iron  prices  after  predictions  had  been 
made  thai  bottom  had  been  reached,  is  regarded  as  discouraging 
development.  There  are  a  large  number  of  consumers  who  are 
now  reluctanl  to  buy  steel,  believing  they  will  be  aide  to  satisfy 
their  wants  at  lower  price  later  on,  bul  all  mills  are  in  verj 
si  nine  position  with  well-filled  order  books  and  anj  sharp  break 
in  price  is  not  looked  for.  As  one  manufacturer  put  it,  the  small 
dealers  might   shade  prices,  but   the  Steel   Corporation  and   other 

large   independent    plants   have  sufficient    business   on   their   1 ks 

to  maintain  quotations  al   present  level  for  indefinite  period,  steel 
mills   are   operating   full.

How  to  Repair  and  Maintain  the  Roads 


The  making  of  good  roads  is  one  of  the  most  important  duties 
of  the  American  people  and  their  prompl  repair  and  careful  main- 
tenance is  essential.  There  is  probably  no  subject  in  which  the 
progressive  fanner  is  more  deeply  interested  than  that   of  having 

roads  meeting  him  with  his  markets  over  which  he  may  lie  able 

to  haul  the  greatest  possible  load.  Good  roads,  like  all  other 
good  things,  are  too  expensive  to  build  and  of  too  much  value 
to    lie    neglected. 

The  office  of  public  roads  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture 
has  published  a  bulletin  on  "Repair  and  Maintenani f  High- 
ways." This  bulletin  does  not  treat  the  subject  of  road  building, 
but  takes  up  the  repair  and  care  of  roads  alter  they  are  built. 
\ll  idasses  of  roads,  from  the  natural  earth  road  to  II"'  macadam 
loads  with  bituminous  surfacing,  have  received  attention.  The 
action  of  automobiles  on  road  surfaces  is  explained.  The  systems 
of  mad  management  iu  Massachusetts,  New  York,  England  and 
France  are  given,  with  tables  of  costs. 

The  writer  concludes  that  on  account  of  the  use  of  heavier 
vehicles  and  motor  trucks  the  tendency  of  road  building  is  toward 
a  heavier  and  more  substantial  foundation  and  a  consequent  re- 
ducti f  the  cost   of  maintenance. 


the  scarf,  taking  pains  to  procure  a  smooth  surface.  Apply  rule 
ber  cement  and  wait  until  it  is  almost  dry.  Then  take  patching 
rubber  in  the  form  of  tape,  and,  commencing  on  the  scarf  near 
its  lower  end.  wind  the  tape  spirally  across  the  bare  netal  to 
the  corresponding  point  on  the  other  side,  keeping  it  under  all 
the  tension  it  will  stand.  Keep  winding  back  and  forth,  rising 
higher  and  higher  each  time,  until  the  tape  is  wound  to  a  diameter 

slightly    larger    than    ll riginal    insulation.      Then    vulcanize    the 

patch,   or  if   this   is    not    done,   cover   the   patch   with   ordinary 
tion  tape,  and   paint   with  a  good   insulating  compound. 


How  to  Make  a  Rubber  Patch 


The    Simplex    Manual     (a    new    edition    of    which    is    about    to    be 

published    by    the    Simplex  "Wire   &   ('able   Companj    oi     Boston) 
gives  the    following  directions  for  making  a   rubber   patch: 

First  of  all,  scarf  down  the  insulation  on  each  side  of  the 
place  to  be  patched,  just,  as  you  would  sharpen  a  pencil.  Then 
scrape    the    insulation    thoroughly    clean    some    distance    back    from 


Steel  Industry  Reported  Booming 

A rding    to   leading   steel  urers    in    Pittsburgh    the 

decline  in  unfilled  orders  for  May,  as  shown  by  the  steel  Corpora 
tion,  is  regarded  as  a  most  favorable  sign  of  improvement.  They 
sa]  thai  there  is  sufficient  unfilled  tonnage  to  permit  of  full  op- 
erations to  the  end  of  the  current  year  without  change  in  the  buy- 
ing, but  there  is  going  to  be  a  decided  improvement  in  aew  busi 
ness.  It  is  stated  that  the  production  of  -tool  ingots  and  heavier 
forms    of    steel    in    finished    shape    during  -out    year,    com- 

pared with  the  same  period  iu  1912,  i-  so  nearly  tin'  same  that  a 
change  of  a  week  in  increased  supply  would  make  the  figures 
same.  The  leading  interest  reports  practically  no  free  tonnage 
in  steid  bars  for  sale  this  year.  Plates  and  shapes  cannot  be  had 
from  the  mills  within  five  months  ami  then  only  in  limit i-. i 
□age.  Kails  are  above  normal  in  output  and  orders  for  this 
season,  with  special  reference  to  light  sections  are  moving  at  a 
record-breaking  pace.     The  Carnegii  tmpany   is  out   of  the 

semifinished  steel  market  for  this  year,  having  no  steel  to  sell. 
There  have  been  cancellations  of  orders  reported  and  none  look-

One  of  the  best  methods  for  bringing  people  into  town  to 
trade  at  your  store  during  the  dull  season,  when  the  farmers  are 
busy  with  farm  work,  and  especially  in  towns  where  there  are 
moving  picture  theaters,  is  to  arrange  with  the  theater  people  to 
allow  you  a  number  of  tickets  to  give  to  your  customers.  The 
theater  managers  will  gladly  redeem  the  tickets  at  a  reduced  rate, 
and  it  is  surprising  what  a  taking  piece   of   advertising  this  is. 


Patented  articles  sold  under  price  restrictions  by  manufac- 
turers may  be  resold  by  retailers  at  cut  rates.  The  United 
States  Supreme  Court  so  decided  on  May  26th,  in  the  case  of 
a  newly  patented  nerve  tonic.  Safety  razors,  talking  machines 
and  thousands  of  other  patented  articles  are  affected  by  the  de- 
cision. The  court's  decision  was  5  to  4,  with  Justices  McKenna, 
Holmes,  Lurton  &  Von  Devauter  dissenting.  Justice  Day  an- 
nounced the  majority  decision,  which  held  that,  while  the  patent 
law  gave  the  owner  exclusive  right  to  "vend"  articles,  that  right 
was  not  the  same  as  a  right  to  "keep  up  the  price."  That, 
the  court  held,  was  not  granted  by  the  patent  law. 


The  use  of  aluminum  wire  as  a  conductor  in  long-distance 
[lower  transmission  schemes  is  not  new,  but  recent  departures 
from  the  ordinary  practice  bid  fair  to  enlarge  this  application 
of  the  metal.  It  is  reported  that  a  steel  reinforced  aluminum 
cable,  consisting  in  all  of  seven  strands,  has  been  placed  upon 
the  market.  The  six  outer  strands  are  made  of  aluminum  and 
the  inner  strand  is  made  of  steel  of  very  high  tensile  strength. 
It    is   asserted   that    this   conductor   both   transmits  the   electric 

,, nt    and    has   the   requisite   strength    for   use   on   the   towers 

which  are  rapidly  displacing  poles  in  transmission  lines.  The 
Pacific  Light  &  Power  Co.  of  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  has  adopted 
this   product    for  its  new  transmission  line.

Re-Sale  Price  Agreements 

In  commenting  upon  the  r nl  Supreme  Court  decision  <>n  re- 
sale prices  several  attorneys  have  expressed  the  opinion  that  the 
decision  'lees  not  apply  to  contracts  between  manufacturers  and 
dealers,  covering  re-sale  prices  on  patented  articles.  In  the  case 
decided  the  defendant  <liil  not  purchase  the  goods  direct  from 
the  manufacturer,  but  from  a  jobber,  and  he  'li<l  not  bind.himself 
by  contract  to  maintain  the  price  fixed  by  the  manufacturer.  Bach 
article  bore  a   notice  to  retail  dealers  warning  them  that   it   was 

not  to  be  sold  for  less  than  .+ 1 .  but  the  dealer  ignored  this  notice? 
.and  cut  the  price.  The  curt  held  thai  the  notice  was  not  bind- 
ing upon  the  dealer,  and  thai  having  purchased  the  article  he 
could  sell  it  at  whatsoever  price  he  chose.  The  inference  drawn 
by  the  aforesaid  attorneys  is  that  a  contract  between  a  manufac 
turer  and  a  dealer  would  be  binding.      The  court,    referring    I"    a 

previous  decision,  stated  that  resale  prices  cannot   I stablished 

by  agreement  on  articles  not  covered  by  patents,  and   added: 

"It  was  doubtless  within  the  power  of  Congress  to  confer 
such  right  of  restriction  on  a  patentee.  Has  it  done  so?  The 
question  has  not  been  determined  in  any  previous  case  in  this 
court  as  far  as  we  are  aware." 

This  implies  that  the  legal  status  of  re-sale  prices  fixed  by 
contract  will  have  to  be  decided  when  that  particular  phase  of 
the  subject  is  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  court. 


Important  Transfer  of  Business   Interests 


The  John  Deere  Plow  Company  of  San  Francisco  has  brought 
suit  in  the  Federal  Court  against  the  Pacific  Surety  Company 
to  recover  $75,000  on  the  bond  given  by  the  company  as  surety 
for  J.  R.  Bowles.  The  complaint  sets  forth  that  Bowles  aban- 
doned a  contract  to  build  a  four-story  concrete  building  for 
the  Deere  Company  and  that  the  plow  company  was  com- 
pelled to  finish  the  building  at  an  expense  of  $201,244.

Both  of  th.se  plaids  have  been  affiliated  with  the  Holt  Company

Selling  on  Approval 

Hue  of  t  he  costly  mistakes  made  by  many  inexperienced 
dealers  during  their  first  year  in  business  is  to  convey  to 
prospective  buyers  the  impression  that  machines  are  sold  on 
approval,  and  after  trial  may  be  returned  if  not  satisfactory. 
I'.\  the  time  several  machines  have  been  condemned  unjustly 
and  returned  in  a  condition  that  makes  them  unsalable  except 
at,  a  sacrifice  of  a  large  part  of  the  cost,  the  dealers  begin  to 
realize  that  selling  on  approval  is  a  thing  for  them  to  avoid. 
unless  the  conditions  are  such  that  no  other  plan  promises 
Buccess  and  the  manufacturer  is  willing  to  accept  and  credit  all 
mac  hin'es   that   are   returned. 

Occasionally  one  hears  of  a  dealer  laying  the  foundation 
of  a  big  trade  by  permitting  a  number  of  trustworthy  farmers 
to  use  certain  machines  with  the  understanding  that  they  will 
keep  and  pay  for  them  if  satisfactory  results  are  obtained  from 
their  work.  Sometimes  farmers  are  persuaded  against  their 
will  to  try  cent  certain  machines.  They  have  not  the  remotest 
idea  of  keeping  the  implements  under  any  conditions,  yet  once 
they  have  seen  what  the  machines  will  do,  decide  to  retain 
them. 

These  are  exceptional  cases  and  are  not  to  be  accepted  as 
proof  that  selling  on  approval  is  a  safe  plan.  As  a  general 
proposition  it  merely  invites  trouble  and  loss.  Your  unprin- 
cipled competitor,  if  you  have  one  of  that  stripe,  approves 
of  your  selling  on  trial,  because  he  knows  that  it  is  within 
his  power  to  sow  the  seeds  of  dissatisfaction  in  the  mind  of 
your  customer.  He  often  does  this  and  causes  you  trouble 
even  when  the  customer  has  bought  the  machine  uncondi- 
tionally. Selling  on  approval  is  equivalent  to  asking  him  to 
annoy    you. 

Selling  on  approval  meets  with  the  warm  approval  q/  the 
crook  who  makes  a  practice  of  using  machines  until  the  sea- 
son's    work     is     done,     then     returning    them    and    asserting    that 

they lefective   or   incapable  of  doing  what   is  required   of 

them.  This  fellow  also  makes  trouble  enough  when  sales  are 
cm. lit  iorial;    selling   on    approval   gives   him   free   reign. 

Selling  on  approval  is  the  same  as  guaranteeing  satisfaction. 
This  is  a  safe  plan  with  some  buyers;  with  others  it  is  unsafe. 
Probably  most  machines  sold  on  approval  "stick,"  but  when 
one  is  condemned  without  good  reason  and  thrown  back  on 
the  dealer's  hands  the  loss  wipes  out  the  profit  on  half  a  dozen 
vales,     farm    Implement    News.

Substituting  the  Old-Time  Caster 


The  Onward  Mfg.  Company,  Menasha,  Wis.,  calls  attention  to 
the  ''Onward"  Sliding  Furniture  Shoe.  This  is  an  invention 
that  is  revolutionizing  things  in  the  way  of  an  article  to  take 
the  place  of  an  old-time  caster.  Casters  have  been  a  necessity, 
but  they  have  much  damage  to  answer  for.  The  "Onward" 
Sliding  Furniture  Shoe  has  come  to  the  rescue  of  all  furniture 
users.  They  do'  all  that  a  caster  will  do,  and  do  it  better  with- 
out their  defects.  They  are  neat  in  appearance  and  cheap  in 
price.  Attachable  to  any  furniture.  No  sockets  required  and 
perfectly  noiseless.  They  will  not  injure  the  floor,  carpet, 
linoleum  or  rug,  nor  wrinkle  the  rug  on  a  polished  floor.  The 
"Onward"  Sliding  Furniture  Shoe  is  made  with  flat  glass  or 
metal  base  and  universal  joints,  capable  of  adjusting  itself  to 
all  uneven  surfaces.  They  are  made  in  all  styles  and  sizes,  suit- 
able for  all  weights  of  wood  furniture  and  metal  beds.  Write 
to  the  company  for  descriptive  matter,  showing  the  different 
styles,  sizes,  lists,  etc.

The  evolution  of  the  bicycle  from  primitive  and  unserviceable 
types  to  a  useful  and  attractive  means  of  travel  may  be  said  to 
have  taken  place  between  1868  and  1890,  and  its  perfection  and 
standardization  into  practically  one  form  of  structure,  the  modern 
"safety,"  between  1890  and  1895.  During  this  latter  period  the 
popularity  of  the  bicycle  became  so  widespread  that  the  industry 
grew  very   rapidly,  but  after  about  1897   it   began  to  decline. 

In  lfvSS)  there  were  twenty-seven  establishments  engaged  in 
the  industry,  which  gave  employment  to  an  average  of  1797  wane 
earners  and  reported  products  valued  at  $2,568,326.  At  the 
census  of  1899,  after  the  industry  had  begun  to  decline,  the  av- 
erage number  of  wage  earners  was  nearly  ten  times  and  the  value 
of    products    more   than    twelve    times   as   great    as    in    1889. 

During  the  live-year  period  ending  with   L904   the  industry  de- 


clined very  rapidly.  The  number  of  establishments  decreased  from 
312  to  L01,  or  ii7.ii  per  cent;  the  average  number  of  wage  earners 
from  17,7)25  to  3319,  or  81.1  pei  cent;  the  value  of  products  from 
$31,915,908  to  $5,153,240,  or  83.9  per  cent;  and  the  value  a. hie, I 
by  manufacture  (value  of  products  less  cost  of  materials)  from 
$15,123,857   to  $2,525,094,  or  83.3   per  cent. 

A  considerable  recovery  of  the  industry  as  a  whole  is  indicated 
by  the  statistics  for  1909.  While  the  number  of  establishments 
in  that  year  shows  a  decrease  from  the  number  in  1904.  the  av- 
erage  i iber  of   wage  earners   increased    Ills,  or  :i:i.7   per  cent, 

ami  the  value  of  products  $5,545,327,  or  107.6  per  cent.  The 
most  important  factor  in  the  renewal  of  activity  in  the  industry 
lias  been  the  growing  demand  for  motorcycles. 

The  average  number  of  persons  engaged  in  the  bicycle  and 
motorcycle  industry  during  1909  was  5017,  of  whom  -H.'!7,  or  88.4 
per  cent  were  wage  earners.  Of  the  total  number  of  persons  cn- 
^age.l  in  the  industry  only  3..".  per  cent  were  females.  Of  the 
establishments  reported  in  1909  about  half  were  operated  by  indi- 
viduals. The  value  of  the  products  of  such  establishments,  how- 
ever, represented  only  5  per  cent  of  the  total  value  reported. 
Nearly  all  of  the  business  is  done  by  establishments  under  cor- 
porate   ownership. 

There  was  a  considerable   increase   in  the  relative   importance

this  class  of  establishments  reported  90.6  per  cent  of  the  total 
value  uf  products   in   1909. 

As  already  stated,   the   industry    was   declining   al    the   census 

of  1899,  yet  more  than  1  .iioii.niii)  bicycles  were  made  in  thai  year. 
The   output    in    L904  was  barely  one-fifth  as  great  and  there  had 

been  a  further  decline  liy  limit.  No  tandem  bicycles  or  tricycles 
for  adults  were  manufactured  in  1909,  although  their  manaufac- 
ture  had  been  reported  at  two  preceding  census.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  development  of  the  motorcycle  branch  of  the  industry 
has  practically  all  taken  place  within  the  decade  L899  1909,  and 
inure  particularly  in   the  second  half  of  the  decade. 


Keyless  Automobile  Clocks 

The  Phiuney-Walker  Keyless  Clock  Company,  79  East  One 
Hundred  and  Thirtieth  street,  New  York,  N.  Y.,  call  the  trade's 
attention  to  the  line  of  Keyless  Clocks  that  are  popular  with 
automobile  owners  and  a  very  profitable  addition  to  liues  of 
Automobile  Supplies.  These  clocks  are  handsome  in  appear- 
ance and  made  to  withstand  the  hard  usage  and  vibration  of 
automobile  travel.  They  are  dust  and  moisture-proof  by  reason 
of   a   double   ease,   the   movement    being   enclosed    in    an    inner 


Keyless  Rim-Wind  Auto  Clock 

case.     The  clocks  are  fastened  to  the  dash   from    the   inside   of 
the  case  and  locked. 

These  clocks  are  what  is  termed  ''rim-winding" — the  nec- 
essity of  a  key  is  entirely  done  away  with.  To  wind  the  clock, 
simply  turn  the  bezel  once  a  week  to  the  right  and  to  set  the 
hands,  remove  the  bezel  by  turning  to  the  left.  There  are 
no  better  time-keepers  than  the  Phinney-Walker  clocks  and 
these,  combining  the  novelty,  simplicity  and  practicability  of 
the  rim-winding  device,  together  with  the  dust  and  moisture- 
proof  case,  a  perfect  Automobile  Cluck  is  offered  to  the  trade. 
For  further  particulars  write  to  the  company  and  ask  for  a

and  colored  to  closely  imitate  the  Mallard  specie.  Look  a(  the 
points  of  merit:  The  decoys  open  up  automatically,  pack  in 
a  small  space,  are  light  in  weight,  can  be  collapsed  quickly,  will 
instantly    come   right    side   up,   uo   matter   how    carelessly   tossed

A  Composite  Target 


The  accompanying  cut  illustrates  a  composite  target  of  fifty 
shots  fired  by  Alfred  G.  Schmidt,  District  of  Columbia  Rifle 
Association,  in  the  International  Small  Bore  Match  with  Eng- 
land.    The  score  was  499  out  of  a   possible  500  and  is  a  record. 

The   District   <>f  Columbia   Rifle  Association  got  nine  men  on 


the  Small  Bore  team.  These  nine  men  have  all  shot  their 
scores  and  the  average  for  .-ill  is  49.". — the  high  score  being  199 
and  the  low  seore  188.  All  the  shooting  was  done  with  Stevens 
No.    114  Semi-Military  Rifle. 


The  Rifle   Club  of  Everytown 


Here  are  some  farts  about  a  group  of  young  men  in  Every- 
town, which  is  a  little  New  England  factory  place,  but  might 
be  anywhere  in  the  United  States.  Tins  town  is  doubtless  much 
like  your  own,  and  so  you  have  the  same  sort  of  materia]  right 
at  homo. 

There  must  lie  about  two  dozen  of  these  young  fellows  ami 
they  all  have  jobs  down  at  the  Everytown  tool  works.  Ages 
eighteen  to  t wenty -t hree,  or  maybe  twenty-four.  Too  old  to 
run  with  a  gang.  Not  quite  old  enough  to  lie  married  and  set- 
tled.    A    little   too   serious  to  go   around    with   the   girls. 

Serious'?  Why.  yes.  These  young  fellows  are  busy  nine 
hours  a  day,  six  days  a  week,  with  considerable  overtime  work 
in  winter.  If  you  saw  them  at  hard,  dntv  jobs  of  grinding 
and  machining  and  assembling  parts,  you  might  think  the 
work  called  for  little  skill  or  intelligence.  But  il  is  exacting 
and  prettj  well  paid,  nevertheless,  for  those  greasy,  dusty  parts 
are  worked  down  and  calibrated  to  the  thousandth  of  an  inch. 
All  this  "efficiency"  business  started  at  that  kind  of  work, 
you   know.     These  young  fellows  are  the  pick  of  the  tool  works. 

follow    the   techniqi f   their   trade   and    want    to   qualify    for 

supervision  and  ownership.  Yes,  the\  are  serious,  and  it  affects 
their  amusements. 

Not    a    great    deal    of    good    ■linns,' ni     in    that    section    of 

Everytown.     Saloons,  pay  dances,  i I,  billiards,  cards,  theaters 

and  moving  pictures.  About  Hie  only  organized  sports  are 
liasolia  II    and    l)OV\  li  ng. 

Most  of  the  people  down  then-  -and  especially  the  other 
voting  people  find  the  saloons,  theaters  and  dances  sufficient  for 
then     need-. 

But  these  lads  are  thinkers.  In  their  way  they  have  sized 
up   the  staple  amusements  of  the   town   and   decided    thai    there 

isn't    goo, I    value    for    time    and    i \      i     drinking,   dancing    oi 

-hows.     So    they    have    looked    around    foi    something    more    to 


their  own  taste,  and  the  result  is  the  Rifle  Club  of  Everytown. 
Space  required  for  the  club's  indoor  range  is  not  great.  Ten 
feet  wide  mi, I  ninety  feet  long  is  enough.  Cost  is  not  high — 
$150    will    put    in    a    fine    ranee 

But  the  strongest  point  of  all  is  that  rifle  shooting  under 
tin'  direction  of  a  competent  instructor,  and  linked  with  com- 
petitive advantages,  is  an  irresistible  attraction  for  all  sorts 
Of  boys  and  youths  and  men  up  to  middle  age.  Rifle  shooting 
appeals  to  these  young  fellows.  It  calls  for  judgment  and 
steady  nerves.  A  rifle  is  tin  instrument  of  precision,  and  even 
a  small  calibre  bullet,  tired  on  a  miniature  range,  offers  prob- 
lems  in   ballistics. 

When  a  young  man  begins  shooting  he  stops  drinking  and 
the  use  of  tobacco,  usually,  because  he  wants  his  eyesight  and 
nerves  and  muscles  iii  the  best  possible  shape.  He  learns  to  be 
very  careful  with  a.  gun,  loaded  or  unloaded.  lie  follows  rifle 
matches  with  keen  interest.  His  patriotism  is  aroused  when 
the  American  team  wins  ever  all  countries,  as  it  did  last 
year  at  the  Olympic  games  in  Sweden,  or  goes  across  the  border 
and  carries  oil'  the  Canadian  trophy,  or  Outshoots  everybody 
else   at    the    Pan-American    match    in    Argentine. 

Do  you  know  there,  is  today  a  healthy,  growing  National  in- 
terest in  rifle  shooting.'  Four  thousand  lads  in  the  New  York 
high    schools  are    now    shooting    under   an    enthusiastic    instructor. 

The  interest  is  really  international.  Oreat  Britain  has 
more  than  four  thousand  rifle  clubs,  with  maybe  half  a  million 
members. 

What  was  that  statement  about  rifle  shooting  as  a  factor  in 
character  building?  Looks  like  an  odd  combination  at  first 
sight.      Few    persons    see    the    connection   at   once. 

When  Airs.  Smith  first  hears  that  her  boy  Johnny  has  joined 
a  rifle  club  and  is  learning  to  shoot,  the  usually  jumps  to  the 
conclusion  that  he  is  in  danger  either  of  shooting  himself  or 
soineliodv  else,  or  being  shot  by  the  gun  that  wasn't  loaded. 
Every  newspaper  has  accounts  of  accidents  due  to  guns  and 
revolvers.  I'.ut  the  ease  for  rifle  shooting  is  strong  and  sen- 
sible. Who  is  hurt  in  firearm  accidents,  as  a  rule.'  Watch 
the  reports  yourself  ami  yon  will  see  that  it  is  the  careless 
and  the  uninstructed. 

.Mrs.  Smith  will  not  allow  Johnny  to  have  a  gun  and  learn 
how  to  use  and  respect  it.  Johnny  can  go  camping  with  other 
boys,  however,  tint  in  the  woods,  nil  the  surroundings  mi«»is| 
a  gun  to  healthy  boys.  Somebody  sneaks  in  a  cheap  rifle  or 
revolver.  Nobody  knows  how  to  handle  it.  There  may  be  an 
accident.  Matches,  edged  tools,  photographic  chemicals,  boats, 
motorcycles,  horses,  electric  current  and  many  other  things 
handled    by   boys  are  dangerous   if  misused. 

Hut  organized  shooting  is  safe.  The  boy  or  man  who  takes 
up  rifle  practice  systematically,  with  safe  anus  anil  ammuni- 
tion, under  proper  instruction,  is  following  a  sport  that  is 
study,   and    .a   study   that    is   sport.      Its   eh nts   of   character

lloro  is  a  siinnnaiv  of  the  good  points  of  rifle  practice, 
written   by   a    New    York    high   school   boy: 

Rifle  shooting  develops  us  physically.  First,  il  trains  the 
eye,  which  is  ;ni  important  factor  in  our  physical  welfare.  It 
strengthens  the  muscles  of  the  arm.     This  is  evident    from   the 

fact  that  the  ritiemaa  must  held  a  gun  weighing  several  pounds 
at  arm's  length  for  comparatively  long  stretches  of  time. 
Lastly,    il    is   healthful    in    that    it    takes   us   out    of  doors. 

Its  power  as  a  mental  developer  is  easily  seen.  It  takes  a 
great  deal  of  practice  all  year  round.  This  develops  will  power. 
determination  and  sticktoitiveness.  M.-mv  are  Die  matches 
where  victory  or  defeat  depends  on  the  man  shooting.  There 
is  more  individual  work  mi  this  spoil  than  in  any  other.  In 
baseball  or  football  il  is  teamwork  that  counts.  One  man 
may  have  an  oil'  ,l:iv  and  not  make  much  difference  to  the  team, 
lull    this   is    not    true    in   si ling.      Rifle   practice   develops    lespon

sibility.  The  rifleman  can  have  few  bad  habits,  for  he  is  is 
practice  all  the  year  round,  lie  can  neither  smoke  oor  < 1 1  i 1 1 U . 
;ni(l  must   keep  regular  hours. 

In    New   York   rifle  si liny   Inis  been  taken   up  by  the  high 

schools  as  :i  sport  for  the  lust,  six  yeaTS,  and  has  proved  a 
success.      Not    :in   accident    1ms   happened.     At    the   Inst    sports 

man's  show  38,000  ro Is  of  ammunition  wore  Bred  without   ac 

cident.  Could  there  be  a  better  MT.inl,'  Then  there  is  the  sub 
target  gun.  This  gun  gives  the  same  practice  as  a  real  rifle, 
but  is  a  mechanical  de\  ice  which  uses  no  ammunition,  yet 
registers  your  shot,   perfectly   by   electricity   or   chanically. 

Rifle  shooting  does  not  call  for  physical  strength  or  prowess, 
like  athletic  sports.  But  it  does  demand  mental  and  physical 
control   in   marked   degree,  and  develops  these  qualities. 

It  is  .-in  individual  sport,  which  a  boy  or  man  may  follow 
alone,  at    moderate  expense,  up  to  s   certain   point. 

Give  a  boy  or  man  a   good   rifle,   unlimited   ammunition   and 

the   free  use  of  a  fine   range.     As  s i   us  he   becomes  skillful 

in  marksmanship,  he  will   look  around   for  competitors  to  si I 

against. 

Benefits  are  far  greater  than  those  which  come  from  win 
ning  rifle  matches,  however.  Shooting  is  peculiarly  rich  in  the 
elements  of  discipline.  Marksmen  are  held  together  in  small 
units  under  monitors  and  coaches,  and  learn  to  obey,  to  accept 
technical  decisions  in  close  scores,  to  be  cheerful  in  defeat,  and 
to  banish  belief  in   "luck"  and  "fate." 

An  authority  with  wide  experience  in  the  supervision  of 
rifle  shooting  among  school   boys   puts   the   matter  thus: 

"Your    shooter    becomes    a    delicate    galvai eter,    and    he 

must  learn  self-control  at  all  times;  for  in  shooting,  of  all 
sports,  'there  is  nothing  hidden  which  shall  not  be  revealed.' 
Tobacco,  impure  thinking,  excesses  and  mistakes  in  diet  and 
sleep  are  recognizable  foes,  and  the  boys  of  the  shooting  squad 
will  gradually  come  to  understand  the  reasons  for  their  avoid 
ance  in  life  fur  more  clearly  than  the  boys  sitting  under  the 
arbitrary  hygienic  dicta  of  the  lecture  room.  Our  young  shoot- 
ers will  lie  citizens  of  tomorrow,  and  there  will  lie  larger  oppor 
tunities  to  apply  these  lessons  in  devotion  to  business,  sacrifices 
at  home  and  patriotism    for  country."

Your  Customers  For 
22  Calibre  Rifles 


HERE  comes  a  boy  or  young  man  to  buy  a  .22  calibre  rifle — in  most  cases  a  single  shot. 
Now,  right  here  is  the  place  to  stop  and   decide  to  recommend  him  the  Remington  .22  at 
$3.00  and  upward,  produced  by  the  same  people  who  make  the  Remingtor  .22  Repeater, 
some  models  of  which  sell  as  high  as  $75. 

As  you  know,  there  is  a  tendency  in  some  quarters  to  look  on  the  .22  single  as  "only  a  boy's 
rifle" — and  to  cheapen  these  models  to  sell  at  a  price.  And  this,  mind  you,  when  every  man  who 
figures  in  the  Who's  Who  of  rifle  shooting  got  his  sound  training  in  the  sport  with  a  .22  calibre. 

The  whole  secret  of  keeping  your  arms  and  ammunition  business  up  and  coming  is — Get  the 
boy  started  right. 

Tell  him  the  facts  about  .22  calibre  rifles — about  the  Remington  ammunition  he  ought  to  have. 

And  if  you  haven't  enough  Remingtons  to  make  a  strik- 
ing feature  —  order  more.       Get  the  boy  started  right!
