was made second vice president of the COM
pany in 1882
His election as president of the company
came in 1888. \ man of Mr.. Depew's broad
attainments, wide reading and extensive &c
quaintance could not fail to be thoroughly
| conversant with the development of his for
mer profession, and his address at the last
commencement of the Yale Law school
proved his intimate acquaintance with the
subject and was masterpiece of its kind.
Mr., Dopew's views: There is no doubt
but what the profession Of law is over
crowded but it is proper to say that three
fifths of the men who enter the profession
/ are untitled to succeed. Many have imper-
feet education, and many haven't the ability
to compete with trained and talented rivals.
Every city and village in the older states
has at least five times IS many lawyers as
could earn n living if the income of all of
them, good and bad, was equally divided.
But the young men who have special aptitude
for the law, and with it i:laomitablo industry
and tho ability to cheerfully aud hopefully
live poor while they work hard, invariably
succeed. Not one in ton of the young men
who 80 into the great offices Of New York
can be relied upon to DO on hand early and
late and to sacrifice every personal pleasure
and temptation to the business Of the Office
The oYercrowdiny is most felt among the
men Of moderate abilities who are competing
for the more humble rewards OF the profess
sion. With them tho conditions arc con-
stantlY growing harder On account of the
crowds who are bidding for tine business.
Th9 remedy is radical one, but is slowly
working cure. Ii is that Il university edu-
cation fits a man rs well for other vacations
as for a profession. The old idea which has
crowded the professions was that q college
graduate must necessarily be a lawyer, a
doctor or q minister, and When he could not
get anything el|a he might become an editor
Finally, the crowds turned out from high
schools and academies also entered the pro-
fessions as being mora respectable and prom
Using better social position than other pur-
suits
Fortunately. these false notions are giving
place TO the wiser opinion chat au education
helps man in any vocation, and that sue
cessful business man is better OF and more
highly thought of than n DOOR lawyer or doe
tor. College graduates can now be found in
manufactures, railroad Offices behind the
counters, and in their shirt sleeves in the
yards and among the trains learning the
business of railroading from the bottom
Unlos2 a young man, upon graduation, is
satisfied that lie has a special talent and
adaptation for the law, he GA INT not TO IT, nix
Of entering upon its study. lie should carry
his culture and training into a business ca
roer.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

To accommodate our customers, We are
obliged to keep large number Of &C
counts, and mistakes will occur, no mat
ter how particular and strict we may be.
We try to make settlements as often as
possible, monthly, quarter, yearly, etc, so
that those who have accounts with us, as
well as ourselves, know how their &C
counts stand.
We have found during our many years
of business, that the longer accounts
run, the more difficult it is to trace up
errors, if any and the more unsatisfactory
to our customers.
AS there should be at least one time dur
ing the the year, that all accounts should
be squared and settled and our books
balanced, we have made it rule to mail
statements to our customers after New
Years, who do not call around to settle
or balance their bills.
With the many accounts on our books,
we are obliged to do this, and at the be-
ginning of the new year it is customary
to settle up all accounts.
We hope our customers will not feel
offended on receiving their statements by
mail, as it is impossible for us to see
all Of them personally.
Trusting that our customers will see
the justice OF our course, we remain
