The Travelling Man.

Whatever he may have been in the
past the travelling man of today occupies
most important position in relation to
mercantile affairs He is numbered by
many thousands and represents the in
terests Of many millions. He is found
in all classes OF business. representing all
lines of wares, and his influence upon
matters even outside of his own vocation
is strongly felt. The travelling man of
today, to be successful must, in the first
place, be gentleman in deed and in
action. Then he must be possessed of
business acumen and tact. be ambitious,
active and tireless He finds it to his in
terest to keep informed on current topics,
and is storehouse Of news and informa-
ton. He must be pleasing in address and
neat in appearance.
All these he is, as he now exists, in the
best type. In the drug business the trav-
eler is very important factor. There
are about 1850 directly connected with
the wholesale drug trade of this country,
this number not including proprietary,
pharmaceutical or druggists sundries
houses. These /, $50 travellers are an ex-
pense to the wholesale druggists of about
S.. 000. 900, and we may be sure that if
they were not a necessity and of value,
commercial statesmen would not exist
