Of great Importance depending on the

The Junk Dealer,s Trade.

But few people nave an idea how large
an industry is represented by what may
collectively be termed the rag business"
Belated citizens returning to their homes
with the dawn and fimsy excuses for
their waiting wives cannot fail to notice
the swarm of men, women INC children
that dives in and out of obscure places,
Selling with wolfish avidity on all sorts of
scraps, such as paper, iron and cigar
stumps. These go into al immense sack
carried on the back, and by the hour of
7 the collectors may be seen at the door
of the rag mans den, bargaining for
the sale of their wares. To a junk
dealer land his tribe yearly increases
in a city like Chicago) almost any
thing is welcome, and he asks no ques-
tions, Lead pipe from a vacant house,
brass castings from q foundry, patterns
in copper, pieces of lightning rods, old
iron of any description, paper in all forms,
from a family Bible to the ephemeral daily
journal of events, go on the scales and are
subjected to the relentless appraisement
of so much per pound. If the goods
offered for sale were stolen it is none of
his business. He asks no questions and
pays cash. The paper goes to the mills,
the metals to the foundries, and the
dealer, in the course of time grown
wealthy, abandons his calling and seeks a
wider field under the sign of the three
balls of Lombardy or the seductive allure
ment of easy payments. Chicago
