A New Business For Women.

A new and profitable employment for
women is introducing flour. Several
firms who advertise their -four the
world over are now hiring women Oh
salary and paying all their travelling ex-
penses to introduce particular brand
of flour into towns and cities where it
is not we'll known. Two women are en-
ployed to go together, SO that the mat
ter of one travelling alone is obviated,
and certain amount of territory is as
signed them. AT first, il the business is
entirely new, one is paid railroad and
bus fares and a salary of about 81 a
week. Out Of this she must pay her
own board and laundry bills.
The duties are first to 60 to all the
groceries in the town and find how
many dealers are handling the flour and
secure as many new firms who will
agree to handle it as possible This
done, the two women get map of the
city and divide the work for the entire
month, if they are to remain there a
month. Then each takes street and
makes house to house visit, taking the
name of each woman of the house and
noting whether she uses their flour or
not, and also if she will agree to buy
the flour of her grocer, who perhaps
never has kept it in stock. At the end
of the week report of all the visits,
names and orders is sent in to the state
agent.
In addition the lady agent is expected
to take an order for barrel or sack OF
-four whenever she can, but as it Is to
be bought at one Of the groceries which
handle the flour the matter Of securing
the order is comparatively easy.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
THOUGH VERY SUCCESSFUL, SIZE
ISN'T LIKE OTHER DRuMMERS.

A New Business For Women-The Home
observation-disclosures Women as Wives
Sheep Raising of Our women-Popu-
Iarity of the Petticoat.
There is one business house IN Boston
that has drummer who does not play
whist on the train or tell stories broader
than they are long.
It is perhaps needless to add that this
drummer is not a man, but bright
young woman, the only legitimate wo-
man commercial traveller in New Eng
land SO far as her employers know.
Her line is technically known as
steam supplies She visits most of the
large mills and other establishments
using power in New England and sells
various kinds of hard rubber goods that
are used in boiler and engine rooms.
She knows more engineers than any
other woman in New England and can
sell goods with any man in the bust
ness. Early trains, country hotels, cold
carriage rides and interviews with hur-
ried and testy business men have no
terrors for her. She is schooled in her
trade, and she has as much courage as
any commercial man who ever put on
'front.' to sell a bill of goods. The fact
that she is a woman does not deter her
in the least from going right ahead
wherever a man would.
This interesting young member of the
gripsack guild is Miss Cora B. Pike.
Her "house" is at 10 Pearl street, Bos-

ton, and she lives at 1919 West Sixth
street, South Boston. when she is at
home, which is not too often, as she is
kept on the road most of the time Her
trips are from week to two weeks in
duration.
To a reporter who happened to see
her when she was in from a trip and
was consulting with her employer as to
routes, ratings and the like Miss Pike
talked interestingly Of her business.
II have some trying experiences once
in awhile, y she said, with a smile that
was anything but businesslike, "but on
the whole I am treated very nicely. I
am meeting with great success and
would not change if could. My former
employers, for whom ] was stenogra-
pher, told me could come back when
ever I wanted to, but ] feel satisfied
where I am. .
Miss Pike is small woman, with
light brown hair, large eyes and very
vivacious face.
She is native of Charlestown, where
she was born Dec. Z, 1867. She was ed
ucated in the Boston High school, and
three years ago, after working at other
kinds of employment she entered the
Office of a steam supply company on In
dia street, where she soon acquired a
knowledge Of the business, and in time
made extensive acquaintance among
engineers. Boston Globe.
