To Go to Toby hanna.

During the past year or 80 il has been
rumored from time to time that there
would soon be another firm engaged in
the manufacture Of silk and that it
would be under the firm name or II.
Renard & Son. While neither of the
gentlemen interested would vouchsafe
any information on the subject, they
would not deny that there was posi-
bility OF such contingency, but to all
questions the only reply would be,
wait and see" and just when the pa
tience of those who are aware of the
facts is about exhausted, the news is
received that the elder Renard has
purchased the silk factory at Toby
hanna, and that his son, Joseph Rem
ard, Will be superintendent.
Both men are experts in the manu-
facture and handling .of silk and few
manufacturers have the experience
or knowledge necessary to successfully
operate factory than has the senior
member of the new firm. The younger
man, Joseph Renard, is too, thoroughly
acquainted with all the inticaces of the
trade and he will assume his new re-
sponsibility as soon as Mr.. Brooks can
secure man to take his place at the
Meadow Brook mill.

What Salesman Must Do to Meet With
Success.
Statesmen are usually man of re-
sources They meet all sorts and coudi-
tions of people, and muSt be able to
meet them as they should be met.
This requires a versatility which is
commonly supposed to exist only on
the stage.
But a successful salesman is a good
actor He can adapt himself to any
character. Tie can be at ease in any
place He can assume any position,
and that without a rehearsal, for there
ia no time to make up" for the part he
is to play, no opportunity to con his
lines, Everything is done on the spur
of the moment.
For Instance, he has just left a joyial,
hearty, hail-fsllow. well-met, who is
cordial and friendly even to his re-
fusal, and he next opens to the oppO.
site. The laugh, the joke, the happy
go lucky familiarity must be cast
aside and tho actor must at once as
sume a new part. This ia where tho
the artistic salesman shows his fine
work. And that is the reason why
first class statesmen are not picked up
like goods on a bargain counter. OF
course, a salesman who is handling or
introducing something that is 30 good
and worthy that it requires little be-
yond its own intrinsic merit to please
is not obliged to use the arts which are
called into being when the Some
