The drummer,-bless his Jolly face,
Has goOdly right TO famel
No matter what his creed or race
He glories In the name.
He's open-hearted, brave and kind,
And loves noble deed;
In him ill-luek will always fnd
A friend in time OF need.
In every land beneath the sky,
Hes cosmopolitan
A brother OF that broader tie
That binds US man to man.
He'll pledge with you and Jest with yos,
And light, II need there be;
But should he get the best Of yoa,
A generous foe Is hei
he works alike In sun or rain,
Yet thInketh not Of praise;
You meet him on the morning train,
In trades o'er-crowded ways.
o he Is versed In all the tricks
That travel on the road;
OF science. love, and LOlities.
The drummer knows the code.
His standard, TO the breeze unfuried,
Floats DER the distant islesl
He moves the commerce OF the world
And basks In Beauty's smiles.

Gentlemen: Time in its ceaseless flight
has brought us to the end Of another year,
and to this, our third annual banquet, and 1t
gives me great pleasure to greet you all once
again and to extend the compliments OF the
season. To the gentlemen who are present
as our special guests, do / extend a most cor
dial greeting. They have honored us by
their. presence tonight and we are glad In
deed to have the privilege. OF extending the
courtesies of our association to so many dis
1t Is lifting and proper that once a year
the travelling men of this city and State
should meet together in a special way to re-
new old aequaintances, to rehearse old stor-
les, and learn new ones.
The year just ending has not been as pros
porous, perhaps, to some OF you as you had
reason to believe at the first, but brighter
prospect Is opening before us all. The COM
ing year bids fair to be Gne of good business
prosperity and trust that every travelling
man present will increase his sales and his
profits largely, so that at the end of the y ear
he can point with pride to his increa sed
he is connected will say, 'Well done thou
good and faithful servant! come into the
concern out OF the wet, or, We'll give you
liberal increase in salary"
There Is one thing that wish to speak
about at this time, and 1t Is this Remember
that most of us are Portland boys, that we
should stand up for our beautiful city first,
last and always. III a stranger gives our city
a sneer and attempts to decry Ii, show him at
once that he is mistaken in his ideas and
that he Is ON the wrong road. Portland Is
the place where most Of us get our bread and
butter, and we should stand up for her. Tbs
future prosperity of our city depends largely
upon the very men that see around me to-
night, and 1t behooves us all to look out for
the interests of our city,
The time Is not far distant when we shall
have Merchants Week Of our own, and
when that time comes L hope every travel
| ling man from Portland will constitute him
self committee of the whole and see that
all his customers visit the city, and will dc
all In his power to make them feel that there
| Is no occasion for them to visit the city IL
miles south of us, but that right here in this
| little commercial city Of ours they can gel
| Just as good goods, as low prices, and find as
| good merchants and Jas smart statesmen a:
are to be found anywhere in the New Eng
| land States. 1t has been my custom at for
| mer banquets to review the work Of the As
| sociation for the preceding year, and shall
| ask your indulgence for short time while
| review their work for the past year.
| At our last annual meetins the report o.
| the secretary and treasurer showed that W.
| had l43 members that we had received II
| cash S747.20, and had expended S646, leaving
balance OF Sf0i 20 In the treasury. At tha
meeting an amendment was made to the con
stitutlon providing for the annual meeting

The dinner was splendid one and Mf.
Martin outdid himself. The long menu con-
sisted of attractive dishes, well chosen, well
cooked and well served. The menu cards
were novel and pretty; enclosed in dainty
dove colored box was a roll of pretty colored
cardboard, enclosing two rolls of parchment,
upon which were attractively printed the
bill of fare and order Of post prandial exer-
cises.
The dinner was most thoroughly enjoyed
and it was 1890 o'clock when cigars were
lighted and President Dow called ths COM
pany to order. After the applause which
greeted the popular retiring pres ent sub
