HOME AFFAIRS.

ARTICLES, DuC at present we believe Inn
iting his sales principally to groceries
fruit and confectionery. And he is
probably doing business satisfactory
to himself and his customers. He sells
what he can without trying to extend
his sales by advertising Several years
ago he advertised in the TELEGRAPH
flax seed to loan, but of late he has not
favored the TELEGRAPH with an adj
vertisement nor is he a subscriber for
the paper.
Since writing the above we learn
that Mr.. Wescott sold out the same
day it was written to William Faber
who continues the. business.
Daniel Knapp keeps for sale and
sells groceries, clothing, hats and caps,
sewing machines, lamp goods and ker-
osene. Quite a variety of useful goods
and entirely free from any mixture
with beer and whisky. Nh. Knapp
has long been engaged in business, aud
has made some changes since first COM
mencing. These changes have been
made as he saw opportunities to i'm
prove his business, and increase it's
profits. He conducts his business in
buying and selling in manner to suit
himself. buying as low as he can, and
avoiding the expense Of advertising
his goods for sale, and employing clerks
to help sell them. And by his method
he probably makes his business salts
factorily profitable. Several years ago
the TELEGRAPH did some legal and a
little other advertising and little Job
work for Mr.. Knapp, but of late years
they have done nothing, and he is not
a subscriber for the TELEGRAPH.
Paul Sauber is engaged in grocery,
crockery and saloon business, and con-
ducts it to suit himself. His business
is somewhat mixed, beer and probably
whisky coming in the mixed business,
making the whole busin ess profitable.
Mr.. Sauber seems to be satisfied with
his business and the general opinion
seems to be that he is making money.
He advertlses in the KeDosha Union
but he does not advertise in the Keno,
sha TELEGRAPH, and he is not sub
scriber for it. There are probably two
why he does not advertise in
the TELEGRAPH: First-He does not
want to: Second-The TELEGRAPH
would not advertise the saloon part of
his business, including the sale of beer,
whisky and rum, if wanted to.
Note. TO avoid repetition hereafter,
we will say here and now, that the
above statement will apply to the saloon
part, including the sale Of beer, whisky
and rum, Of the business of all others.
J. G. Gottfredsen is engaged in gro
Gerry and saloon business. His grocery
includes flour and feed, and his saloon,
beer, whisky, rum, &c, and tobacco
and cigars. He has long been engaged
in the business, has had large run of
customers, and has made money!. Mr..
Gottfredsen, we believe, does not adj
vertise his goods, depending upon the
attractions of his place and business
to secure customers rather than upon
advertising. Several years ago he had
a little advertising in the TELEGRAPH
and a little work done in the PRINTING
Office, but of late he has had nothing.
And he was for several years a SUBJ
scriber for the TELEGRAPH, but he
became dissatisfied, saying the TELE-
GRAPH published articles about the eff
feet Of beer and liquor he did not like
3 4
to read. The TELEGRAPH, not re-
framing from publishing such articles
as It's judgment might dictate, on Nav
he paid up his subscription
and gave the order, " Stop my paper. y
and since then he has not been {, SUBJ
scriber. -
John Mindeman is engaged in gro
Gerry and saloon business, and keeps
and sells pals, tubs, brooms, plant pots
and other articles as well as groceries,
beer, &c. He started in business a
few years ago, and has considerably
enlarged his business since he com
menced. He now seems to be doing a
profitable business. We believe he
does not advertise. He has never adj
vertised in the TELEGRAPH, and h. is
not now a subscriber for it. Several
