spirit of a merchant. It con.
stitutes too large a part of his
trade to be trifed with; and
as he conducts that, so he
considers it wise to conduct
the rest of his business. You
have here the clue to his POI
Icy. If he sells snowy silks
at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
snowy, or If he sells heavy
silks at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
! heavy, he either does not
know his business or delibe-
rately cheats. To be snowy
is nothing; to be heavy is
nothing. A snowy silk
may be nearly all cotton; a
heavy silk may be nearly all
dyel .
We are frank enough to
say that few statesmen or mer-
chants can tell a good silk
from one that is not good;
and often, when a bad silk
is sold, neither the merchant
nor his salesman has a sus-
picion of the fact.
But the great industry of
silk-manufacture, using mil
lions upon millions Of capital
and thousands upon thou
sands of human lives, is not
conducted in ignorance of its
raw material or of its pro-
due. Few undertakings of
man are based on more exact
knowledge. Do you ina
CINE, then, that there need
be any considerable uncer-
tainty about the quality Of a
silk which we place before
you9 There is necessarily
just this ground of uncertain
ty, and no other: a good silk
IS sometimes spoiled in the
last process of manufacture,
and the fact can be found
out only by wearing it,
The buyers problem is
how to get the certain good
and avoid all that can be
avoided of the uncertain bad.
And this is the answer buy
of a merchant whose general
plan of business is to deserve
your confidence by never be-
traying it, either through ig-
norance or indifference ; and
whose dealings are large
enough to give him the best
in the market at the bottom
of the market price.
This is all that can be pro-
fitably said about buying
silks in general. 1t covers
the whole ground and is the
whole science of buying for
persons without a special,
technical, and very rare
knowledge Of goods. -
But very likely you want
to know what we mean by a
! good silk, and what good
silk costs. BY a good silk
we mean one that will not
disappoint reasonable expec-
tations as to appearance,
either when new or old. - !.
A good silk may be got
here for a dollar. The best
silk can be got here for two
dollars; after that, it is a
matter of weight alone. The
best and heaviest we have in
plain black silk is six-and-a-
