"The jobbers of Wheeling are great
for push and success" remarked Mr.. c.
NJ Ho,ch. of New York, last evening,
at the Windsor hotel. Il have travelled
for the J. Monroe Taylor Chemical Co.,
a good deal in this State and surround
ing territory. II is fact that the
grocervmen of Wheeling go right down
into the Parkersburg territory and do
q good business, and they are Obliged TO
meet no small amount Of competition,
and the same is true N the Grafton,
Clarkaourg and Weston country, Wnen
there is ever stronger competition from
PlttsDurg. l 90 not Know DuI WAaI
there is Just the same n other uifec-
ticns. but the particular territory WhlcA
have named comes more under my
observation. There IS a great deal III
advertising a business these days, Douh
az nome and that which comes 10
particular territory from other states.
Within the last TWO years eastern con-
Germs do most of their Advertising TOT me
territory they cover through the ad-
vert.sing agencies in New York, Tor
the simple reason that they can get tne
work done so much cheaper, ano tneSe
concerns. having a large business, are
able 10 make better rates with the pa
pers in thosa localities where we desire
10 do business than the firms and COM
panies could themselves"

Mr.. w. H. Tudor, general manager
Of the Wheeling territory of the sales
department of the William Deering
Machine Company. was at the Stamm
last evening on a business visit to
| Wheeling. He said: "The Wheeling
territory is a good one for our COM
pany, and there is more improved farm
machinery sod here than one might
think, and settlements and collections
from the farmers have always been
good above the average of States But
very little doubtful or slow machine
paper is, carried, by at least my COM
pany, in this State. Sales are starting
off we'll for this year and some early
orders have ben received which I am
not at liberty to give you in detail,
which show that the farmers and ma
chine dealers hereabouts are not yet
out OF money.

Mr. F. L. Irish, Of Buckfeld, Me. is
in Wheeling on a business visit, and is
at the Brunswick Hotel. My State. "
said Mr.. Irish TO the Register. last eve
ming. generally speaking, is not of
much agricultural account. We do not
raise near enough in staple lines to sup
ply the population. The lumber indus
try. especially the spruce product, is still
large in that State. The owners of
! timber lands are more careful than in
many States of the country as to the
indiscriminate cutting of timber, and as
a general rule cut out only the large
/ trees. so that growth is not stopped in
the smaller trees of the forests
