,patetic merchants who sell their
wares on the streets. Most of them
are OF the chosen people, although
once in awhile genuine Yankee face
may be seen.
In no other race is the trading in
stinct developed as it is in tho descend
ants of Abraham and Isaac AS soon
as a young jew can secure enough
money or credit to buy small stock of
goods he cmbarks in business Tho
average young American would con-
siderit beneath his dignity to go from
store to store and from Office to office
with a basSctful of matches. The
young Hebrew, no matter how new he
may be to the country, chccrfully packs
his basket every morning and makes
his rounds day after day. AS soon as
he has realized enough to lay in n stock
of Office sleeves and feather busters he
forsakes the match trade.
In the course of time he adds collar
buttons, pockct-knives and pocket
books to his merchandise and estab-
fishes stand i'll front of some we'll
trequented saloon or business house;
and, before you know it, Abraham has
become the owner of n slop-shop cloth
ing establishment on South Clarl. street.
If he is an Intelligent and ambitious man
he will not be contcnted with this bust
ness however. lie will want to mako
enough money to establish IL Legitimate
clothing store. To secure the coveted
end he combines pawnbrol,cragc with
his secondhand dealings until he has
realized a capital sufficient to give him
a standing in the mercantile world
do not mean to convey the idea that
all of our Jewish business men have
obtained their start in life by the meth
cd OF evolution here described. An
educated man-and Chicago has hun
dreds of educated uebrcws-would not,
submit to the indignities incident to
peddling matches and feathcr-dustcrs;
but large percentage of the Israclitic
population has, nevertheless, risen in
the manner here described. For their
enterprise they are certainly entitled
to credit, especially when we taltc into
consideration that every step of their
progress is impeded by popular
prejudice; and it is perhaps this Same
spirit Of prejudice which embitters
many of these men to such degree
that in their dealings as pawnbrokers
they become veritable Shylocks-the
only blot on the pages of Jewish history
in the United States
To return however to the subject
under discussion, it becomes necessary
to inquire how men engaged in the
peddling business are enabled to Sc
cure start in life without capital. TO
stock basket with matches REQUIRES
from fifty to scventy-fve cents. THIS
