The tendency to fraternitiss, associa-
tions, unions and classes is rapidly increas-
ing. Professions, callings and trades OF
every character, almost universally, main
tain business organizations which are, In
fact, more for social purposes than for any
direct gain. Even the travelling man. who
represents both commerce and manufac-
ture, and who Is supposed to be on the
wing everywhere in general and nowhere
in particular, has found association both
pleasant and profitable.
Today the United Commercial Travellers
Of Kansas meet for their annual attroupe-
ment in this city. They willlassemble, con-
vsne, resort, swarm, cluster and flock
from every quarter and over all lines.
The business of the day will be marked by
i;s good fellowship, aud the night with
banquetings and conviviality with that
character of comradeship which makes
the world seem, after ali, wondrous kind.
OF all the fraternal classes and profess
sional associations none boast brighter
snrollment than that of the commercial
travellers. Individually they must be
wide awake. enterprising and quick to
gain or hold their positions. while their
continuous contact with every class OF
people and all kinds of communities keeps
them polished up to every requirement
and to the highest conditions.
