Mr.. J. c. Beacham, of the Van Camp
Packing Co., of Indianapolis, Ind, was
around the Mcclure last evening. LAS
one of the old time travelling fraternity
it is natural, said Mr.. Beacham, ION
this New Years day that one would
think somewhat of the past in a good
many different ways. l notice that
travelling men are coming here earlier
these years than before, or as 1 remem-
Der past seasons. Another thing, trav-
cling men away from home in the holt
days these times go out and lunch with
their customers a good deal more than
in previous years, and cost aside, this
is better than the old time ways and
means of spending the resting days of
the year. They do not tell as many
stories nowadays, either, but talk bus
mess from the jump. Competition is
{ so marked in the commercial world
that it is simply a survival of the fit
test and the modern travelling man

that there was certainly nothing mar

Mr.. R. c. Gerwig, well known trav-
| cling carpet salesman of Pittsburg, was
a guest OF the Windsor yesterday. He
said: "The general outlook for bust
ness. at least in this vicinity, is very
hattering for 1896 in a general view Of
the situation. In my line we received
nearly twice as many orders in Decem-
her of 90 as compared with the same
month of the year previous and trade
is increasing right along, not only in
the cheap classes. but the more eXpen-
sive grades of carpets. Travelling men
in ali lines are getting in their terri
tory early this year.

IS spending Nav Years at his nome n
this city. Mr.. Harvey was met at one
of the leading hotels Of the city last
evening and questioned in the usual
way for a few things in his line. ms
wear l shall carry larger lot Of samples
of iewelry IN az grades and classes,
simply for the reason that there IS
bound to be a good business this year,
and much larger than for 90. Already
the sales are Increasing right along n
many of the medium price grades OF
iewslry. which is a good indication Of
returning prosperity. No, we do not
think much about getting robbed Of our
SAMPLES in our line when travelling. You
see we always keep with honest peo-
pie"
