To Facilitate transportation.
Jason w. Cooper. Griggs, Cooper &
Co.. wholesale grocerS:
movement to facilitate the handling of
goods 10 and from the railroads and to ar
range business matters more advantageously
to all concerned was organized by the mer-
chants here some time ago. and is working
very well. By combined effort and attention
TO these matters the trade has been able tn
give more satisfaction than ever TO the Gus
toners, and TO promote the interests of the
Northwest. The railroads have seconded
these efforts heartily, especially in matters
relating 10 the handling of goods.
The business of our house this season is
very good, especially i'll our own territory
Aside from this district the sales of oul
special departments reach to the territory il
which general grocery stock could not be
sold. We are now working in Western
Minnesota, Idaho Washington Oregon and
parts of Utah and Michigan. The results so
far Justify our expectations The trade evil
dently appreciates the departments as we are
now running them; fact which the in
creased trade therefrom fully proves.
Ask for HOme-NIade Goods.
George w. Freeman, president c.
GOtZian & Co., manufacturers boots
and shoes:
We are using more operatives than at any
time previously during our thirty years bust
ness here. Our increase of sales this season
will exceed any previous season by fully q
per cent. The collections have exceeded
our sales. We sell from here west 10 the
coast. and the facts given apply very gen.
orally TO the territory which is sold over.
Now. II we could but say that our sales TO
city dealers. and we sell TO most of them. are
increasing in the same proportion, we would
feel better satisfied, but such is not the case
We are selling no more goods in this portion
of our business than we did five wears ago.
when the consumption was very much less,
and our products now are and have been
fully equal in quality TO those offered by any
other manufacturers in the country. We
would, therefore, suggest that you urge your
readers to ask for homemade goods in all
lines They will pay no more and get much
better article for the money if they will but
ask for home products and insists upon get
ting them. With the legitimate st. Paul
trade in our line we could double the capacity
of our large factory.
WagesEarnerS and Homes.
E. Vanish, Secretary and Treasurer
st. Paul Barrel Company:
In certain lines of our manufacture on
business has increased wonderfully. and the
season, as a whole. is ahead of last year. The
prospects are that next season we will en-
ploy many more hands than we do now.
Everybody feels confident that the low water
perity entered upon. They have learned. too,
that the only way to build up the town is To
patroniZe home industries ana encourage
new manufacturing enterprises to come here
A town always grows just in proportion tC
lis labor-employing capacity. If every prop
erty owner here should furnish employment
TO one additional wage-earner there would
soon be an active demand for homes. II
every citizen in buying would insist upon
having home products, every industry here
would thrive and others would come. 1t is
not only to the interest OF the business men
but the laborers also, for they would be fur
nished additional employment The home

only a preference. Another point; manu-
facturers often start here on a small scale
and yet they should receive Just as much
| consideration from the wholesale dealers al
the voluble representatives of large Eastern
concerns.
