USED THE INK ONCE TOO OFTEN
How Dealer Fooled Himself in Try
ing to Get Ahead Of His Rival.
From the Electrical Review.

From the Electrical Review.
In city not far from New York there
was manufacturer who desired a large
quantity of certain electrical speciality.
He was acquainted with two statesmen
connected with rival houses, Mr. A. and
Mr.. B. To these he wrote asking bids for
the contract. Mr.. A., feeling that he could
not successfully compete with Mr. B. in
that line, devised this scheme for
outwitting him in return, as he ex-
planned, for former similar incident.
in which by unique means MIR. b. had
''gotten the best of it" In the competition.
Mr.. A. procured some vanishing ink, and
with it wrote letter to Mr. B., stating
that it was too late for him MIR B. to
give any prices to the manufacturers as
he (Mr. Al had already received the con-
tract, Mr.. A, of course, supposing that
the written contents of this letter would
disappear, and not remain as an evidence
of what he had done. This letter reached
Mr.. BIS office by the next delivery,
and, together with the letter from
the manufacturer, 1t lay upon
his table awaiting his return, for he had
left the CITY In fancied security Mr.. A.
proceeded to the manufacturer, and with
many bow laid before him his prices.
Upon being told that his figures would be
considered and compared with those of
Mr. B., Mr. A. laughed quietly to him
self, thought of the letter he had written,
and with an outward smile bowed HIM
out, saying that he would return the next
day and obtain the manufacturers sig
nature to the contract.
Meanwhile Mr.. b. unexpectedly re-
turned, and finding the letter containing
the request to call, together with another
envelope addressed TO him, but inclosing
what seemed to all appearances a blank
piece of paper, threw the letter aside and
made arrangements to present himself
before the manufacturer as soon as his
time allowed. Mr.. A, in due course of
events, before he knew that Mr..
B. had returned, wrote out the
contract, and, the figures appearing rea-
sonable to the manufacturer, since Mr.. B.
had seemingly ignored his letter, it was
signed. That Afternoon Mr.. B. called
upon the manufacturer, who was natur-
ally astonished to see him, and gave him
prices which were much below those sub
mitted by Mr. A. The manufacturer was
sorry, of course but he had already made
a contract with Mr.. A., and Mr.. B., hav-
ing no chance to make sale, made his
exit. This gentleman, happening to meet
Mr.. A. in the street an hour or so after
ward, acknowledged his defeat and asked
to see the contract.
With feeling of triumph Mr.. A. pulled
it from his pocket and proudly pointed to
piece of paper with the manufacturers
signature at the bottom and nothing else.
He had written the contract also in van
ishing ink. Perhaps it may be needless
to add that the contract was given to Mr.
B., who had never known that Mr.. A. had
written to him.

A Deserved Compliment.

w. r. Leroy has moved from Hon
ey Grove and will make Texarkana
his home in the future. 1t is with
deep regret that we part with Mr. Le-
Roy, as he was a good citizen and one
of the best tailors within our knowl-
edge. In his trade he had few equals
and, so far as we know, no superiors.
We are glad.to know that he is not
so far off that he cannot look after his
old Honey Grove trade, as he informs
us that he expects to give Honey
Grove his special attention and will
extend our people the same cOurtesies
as when he was in our midst.
The above deserved compliment is
paid to Texarkana's most excellent
and popular merchant tailor, Mr.. w
r. Leroy, who, during his compare
lively brief residence in our city, has
succeeded, not alone in building up g
large and select trade, but has won
for himself high place in the esteem
and confidence of this people. 2-17-1W

A reporter of this paper noticed a
fine new Columbian Atlas at j. M.
McGill Il Cos. grocery store and was
surprised to learn that they are actu-
ally giving away this valuable work,
worth four or five dollars, to their
customers. The plan of gift is as fol-
lows: Each customer is given a card,
and every time purchase is made,
the corresponding number, in dollars
and cents, are punched out, until all
the numbers on the card, amounting
to $40, are punched out, when the
customer is awarded the book. This
firm handles the best goods at lowest
prices-wil not be undersold. Con-
sidering this, the fine atlas is strong
incentive to the pabllc to buy there,
