A JOURNAL reporter called on Mr.. W.

past eight months, been establishing and
opening branch offices in Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana and Ohio for his Medical Co.,
the head office being "a Adams street,
Chicago, Ills, just One-half block east
of the postotfice. The reporter found
Mr.. Gavitt at his desk very busy looking
over the large increase of trade which
the Topeka office has been doing since
his absence.
In answer to several questions which
the reporter asked, MI Gavitt replied
that he has been more than pleased
with the way his company has been do
ing both east and west. although times
have been veay hard" said he, 'our
trade has been increasing steadily on all
our remedies that we manufacture. We
now have state agents in almost every
state west of the Mississippi river, and
local agents in many states east of the
river. We do business entirely
through agents. We have now
over 1000 active agents canvass
ing for our remedies. Since have been
in Chicago l have made some great i'm
provements in the remedies that we
manufacture. These remedies we con-
sidered good before I left, but we now
have them so they are superior to any

of the world and other noted pugilists.
They all claim that it ia superior to any
other linament on the market That
gives US a standing on the market equal
to any.
1--WE manufacture a Cough Balsam
that is making a reputation for itself.
Our sales on this article last winter were
very large where we had it introduced,
"Our Pile Driver is one of our greatest
successes. 1t absolutely cures the worst
cases of chronic constipation and inward
piles in 10 days. There not being a
medicine on the market outside of ours,
which will absolutely cure chronic con-
stipation every time, therefore we have
no competitors in this remedy.
"Our System Regulator Native Herbs)
as family medicine is growing in favor
every day. That, we sell on an absolute
guarantee to give satisfaction in all old
chronic diseases or refund the money
paid. There has not been more than one
applicant out of a thousand, who pur-
chase the medicine, for the return of his
money. We have been making some re-
markable cures in and around Chicago
while have been there. We have three
bank presidents in Illinois who are act
ing as our agents and selling the medi-
cine over their counters.
eve have thoroughly established our
remedies in Chicago. l will soon visit
St. Louis, Milwaukee. Detroit and Gin
cinnati and establish offices.
''Wes. have been manufacturing the
Of m01i0in0 in (Ihinonn for
several months, but if our trade grows as
fast in the next year as it has in the last
year we expect to build on my lots, just
east of my dwelling, three story pressed
brick building which will cover two or
three lots and 100 feet deep. This we
will use for the manufacture of
our remedies. We will also have
our own printing plant and
paper box factory. By having
these of QUE own we will be able to get
our work done great deal cheaper than
we have been getting it This will
necessitate US employing from so to 100
men and women. We expect to have a
reputation on all our remedies equal to
any remedies now on the market
"My son, Harry E. Gavitt will have
full control of the Medicine business,
being secretary and general manager of
the company. He has proven to be very
| successful in handling agents and ad-
vertising, and that is a very important
part of a patent medicine company.
Il have lately made a trip through
central Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The
hay crop, without a large amount of
rain soon. will be total failure. Pastures
already drying up. fruit mostly killed,
oats will not be half a crop In fact the
prospects were very bad for the farmers
in the center parts of those states for
this year"
