labor and there isno doubt that their efforts
to- gain popularity by efficiency would cause
the money spent so, to do more good than

The managers of the Lsughlin Nail
Company employed o new teamster the
other day, and among the first things he
was ordered to do was to take q wagon
load Of nails to the depot. He asked where
the depot was situated, and on being told
to drive down past the Elson glass works
and stop at the first depot he reached, he
started. He did not stop till he reached the
c. d. P. depot in Bridgeport The driver
cannot be blamed. Any ordinary person
would drive psst tae Martins Ferry depot
unless be was looking for coal house or
waste room. We don't know whether to
blame the manager for not telling bin to
stop at the frst store box he came to, or
the c. & P. officials for not having q
depot.
