Butter Dealers.
New York Letter in Utica Herald.

New York Letter in Utica Herald.
The butter trade like all others has
been subject to many changes Form
erly the wholesale men sent buyers
through the country IN the autumn to
make contracts for diaries. These
diaries, when received here, were sold
complete to other dealers, for whole
sale would never break dairy. These
second men sold by the firkin and sup
piled hotels and retail grocers. At
present, however, the Thurbers (whO
came from Delaware county, have got
extended control of the butter bust
ness, and this had led them into the
manufacture of Olemargerine They
sell Goth the genuine and the imita-
tion, and this variety draws trade,
since a customer can get either the
genuine article or the imitation
The latter, however, now outsells the
former, as the motto of the average
grocer is, we don t care what we buy, so
long as we can sell. Some fastidious
people are giving up the use of butter
IN order to escape the adulteration,
but this will have but little effect.
1t is we'll known that wines and
liquors generally are adulterated to
poisonous degree, and yet the guzz-
ling is undated. Manufacturers of
oleomargerine, however, are careful
not to eat their own product. Thur
Der wants Philadelphia butter for his
own use, but at the same time he tells
his customers that margarine" is just
as good. Thurber may have many
jewels, but consistency" is not one
of the number.

This motion does credit to Mr.. Thomas
feelings of delicacy, but as property
owner and taxpayer earnestly trust that
Council will unanimously refuse to agree
to the amendment. Mr.. Thomas position
as Chairman of the Committee on Ac-
counts is a thankless one, yet in his
quiet, preseyering, logged way he has at
tended to every detail. Regardless of his
own business he has given time and labor
to the extension of the city limits. 1t has
been my lot to know the amount Of work
he has done. No personal benefit can ac-
crue to him; none has accrued to
him. The compliment to him is
merIted. 1t NAV take time for our people
to know the character and value of his
services, but when that time comes it will
show that Savannah never had more de-
serving public servant than Mr.. Thomas.
The compliment is deserved and should be
paid. CITIZEN.
