scheme--some 100000 Pounds.

The Southern Manufacturing Company
goes from strength to strength, and the
immense consignment OF baking powder
on November 18th last-whch. 1t Is no
exaggeration to say. fairly astonisned the
business world-pales into insignifcance
in the light Of yesterdays shipment.
At els A. NJ, solid train OF thirty
seven cars left the Southern railway
yard south-bound, with an enormous
freight of 10000 pounds Of the GOOD
Luck brand Of Baking Powder. manu-
featured solely by the above-named firm.
II took three engines to move the tram
from the yard. and 1t started on It's Jour-
ney with two OF the largest engines on
the Southern railroad
II was no mere trick of advertising, but
a strictly legitimate shipment OF goods
ordered in the due course of business
and at the regular prices, during the
month OF December, but 1t does not py
any means represent the total sales OF
the commodity for that month.
ORDERS FROM MANY QUARTERS,
The influence of the first consignment,
made in November last, has. OF course,
been felt in a very great degree. ana

featuring Company from all parts OF the

upon the making up of speciai train.
II Is a significant fact that yesterday
shipment covers many more poiniS 'nai,
that of November. The Powder shipped
