TO THE COKE FIELDS.

It now appears that the prospects for
a line OF railroad from Wheeling
through Greene county. (Pa.), 10 Un-
tontown or Coaneiisville Ia the coke
i fields, are brighter than ever before. A
q third company Is being formed, in
which !: Is said Wheeling capital Is
being interested.
Along this line the following from the
!; Waynesburg (Pa.) Independent Is cor
drnatory:
It has leaked out that there is an
other railroad project for Greene county
in addition TO the two mentioned last
week. Recently a prominent business
\ man OF Pittsburgh held conference
with representative men here, and dis
cussed the matter. This gentleman
said there are Pittsburgh, Allegheny.
Wheeling ard other capitalists back Of
The enterprise. and are amply able TO
build the road, but are not at liberty to
give names. This representativ. said
they would commence construction a.
the MoEongahela river, and build each
Z way, putting on sufficient workmen to
complete the road from Uniontowr TO
Wheeling. via Waynesburg. in August
and have trains running. He said they
would for a free right OF way and SUBJ
scription from the people OF this county
TO the capital stock OF 100000, FIVE per
cert. Of which is TO be paid down and
i the remainder when the road is COM
4 pleted. THIS Is a very. reasonable re-
quest, ard Greene county can readily
and doubtless Will accept the cffer We
arc assured that these men mean bust
ness and are amply able TO complete The
= project. A road over this rou;e would
heSpractical, anu there Is no question
that It would be good paying road
Z both In passenger and frelsh: traffic, rs
It would, traverse thick!y populated
section. rich IN agriculture and mineral
resources. On such a road as well as
along It, capital VIII find profitable in
rcstment. In view OF the fact that this
is the third road contemplated ove- this
most desirable and logical route, would
II cot be practical for our people 10 en-
deavor to harmon!ze the three interests.
IL possible. unite them II. one enterprise.

BRIDGEPORT. conn. Nov. II. 1897.
To the Editor of the Dry Goods Econo-
mist:
DEAR SlR:-1 Commenced using the
trading stamps in February and have
found my trade Increasing ever since. I
should think from results so far that my
sales VIII be about onc-third more this
year than last. and this is Al cost OF
abou. per cent. on whole sales, which
Is not double tho cost OF my newspaper
advertising and certainly S!Yes a:ac:,
better results i. ~.
To show how this takes. I will men ion
that advertised in four papers and
printed on my tiuplicatc-saIc checks
that would give reduction OF about
20 prr cent. for one month. YET did not
get the results that I am getting With
these stamps ut The same as a 6 Dtr
cent. reduction only 10 those who ask
Tor L, or about3 per cent. on whole
sales. This comes from the way tho
stamps are distributed. every local
tty beiES supplied by one grocer or
butcher. who starts his customer with
the stamps, and then they are anxious
10 fill their books by purchasing other
goods wherever stamps are given out.
We are also helped very much by the
way the company has fulfilled It's prom
.seS aud the politeness with which Ii
treats our customcrS. 1 find every one
pleased with the premiums and the
treatment they receive. +. :.
Merchants who have not taken hold OF
this are naturally nEainst It.. mud some
who bcSrudec giving out these stamps
may not have made a success of It. but
am very careful TO have the customers
get the stamps in the easiest way, with
out much red :apc, and have them hand
ed out cheerfully. ANY merchant who
VIII do thatwill not he sorry that he hns
taken this up II the business Is carried
on In other places us well as IT, is here.
Yours truly,
