A large number of Seattle ladies made
preparations to receive their gentlemen
friends on New Years day, and many
Of the gentlemen, approaching this,
took OCCASION to pay thsir respects to
the ladies. For many years the custom
of New Years calling has been in vogue
in Seattle, bat never before we're such
elaborate preparations made by the
ladies 70 entertain their guests. The
deep snow rendered walking difficult;
and all those who could obtain hacks or
sIeighs to carry them from house to
house did 50. As a rule the ladies we're
elegantly sttired, toe houses handsome
ly decorated. and the tables spread with
the d4iutiest Injuries. The callers at
the residence Of Mrs. W. j. Black we'll,
Mrs. A. B. Stewart. Mrs. John Leary,
Mrs. Z. r. Ferry and several other
places, we're presented With souvenirs
of unique and lasts design, which will
Icing be kept 10 Re mind the recipients Of
the pleasant occasion. II is impossible
to give complete list OF all the gen
tlemsn who avaIled themselves of the
opportunity to pay an annual visit to
their lady friends, but among those vhs

READY FOR THE SUMMER oAMPAI GIN.

The Mccormick "Up and adjoining An
Inviting Outlook for This Season
A reporter of the Sentinel, while lot King
through the headquarters of the McCor .icK
Harvesting Mschine Company, yeste day,
saw evidence of much activity and pre- ara
ton for the coming season. From a Co YER.
sation with Mr.. J. B. Haywood, the lee ding
agent in charge OF this department, il was
learned that long lease had Just been taken
on the buildings occupied by the firm, and
an additional warehouse of magnificent pro-
portions and other important features will
be introduced that will greatly add TO their
business facilities. The business, under ihs
present efficient manager, has increased ten
fold under his energetic administration, ADD
at D o time were the facilities equal to the in
crossing demands of the growing business.
Last year 1854 the sales amounted TO about
3 eco machines. Mr.. Haywood attributes
this handsome increase to the superior
merits of the Mccormick machines and his
able corps of assistants, the equal of whom
he said he did not think are to be found in
the employ OF any other manufacturer OF
harvesting machines in the country. The
offices at Nos. 167 and 169 are pleasant. c)m-
modious and admirably arranged. Here are
book-keepers, q rapid sienogrspher, type
writers, shippiFg and repair clerks. and the
business being expedited By an able corps Of
wsrehousemen.
