THE OPEN DOOR

A Telephone is an Open Door through
which trade enters
Telephone Service is business neces-
sity.
1t is to the merchant an outlet for in
formation and quotations and an inlet
for orders.
Telephone service keeps the manufac-
turer, the merchant and the consumer
in constant touch.
1t notifies the producer at whatever
distance of the variations of demand
Telephone service increases sales by the
expedition it lends to the filing of orders.
1t keeps the business interests through
out the country in communication with
the markets.
Telephone service saves much time and
as Time is Money" it saves MONEY.
1t costs less than an errand boy and it
does the work of commercial giant.
Telephone service between office and
residence is a tremendous convenience,
and at the present message rates is an
unimportant expense.
If one telephone SO increases business
that the open Door" is crowded. open
another door; that is, have another tele-
phone-or better, Private Branch Ex-
change, with trunk lines to the Central,
a switchboard, and as many stations as
may be required

The Dewey Home Fund

Contributions to the Dewey testimo-
NAL fund, while flowing in quite re-
specially in a numerical sense, do not
az yet give any indication of assuming
an imposing aggregate. 1t is not inn
probable that, nnless something can be
devised of an unusually stirring char
ter, this will suffer the same langulish-
ing experience of most popular subscrip'
tiOns.
The history of all former efforts Of a
similar character in this country shows
that success only came through large
contributions from wealthy citizens or
friends of the beneficiaries. The
houses purchased for Grant, Sherman
Sheridan and the naval heroes Of the
civil war could never have been bought
had it not been for numerous subscrip-
tons running up into the thousands
It is thought it would be best to try
this tack with the Dewey fund
A suggestion has been made that the
department clerks in Washington be in
vited to donate one days wages for the
purpose. and this suggestion, it is said
has received the Endorsement of respOn-
sible sanction. 1t is TO be hoped that
no such appeal will be made, and Ad-
miral Dewey himself would doubtless
be the first one to discOunteuance
such proposition Such a request
TO the clerks could be constru-
ed in no othet light than as a demand,
and those who can i'll afford such a
sacrifice would feel compelled to yield
tl the demand rather than be pointed
at in a disparaging way. Let the poor
clerks alone.
The action secretary TO the President
Mr.. Cortelyou, has called upon Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip
chairman Of the Dewey home fund, and
given him a check from President Nc
Kinley for the fund. Mr.. Oortelyou
conveyed to Mr. Vanderlip the express
ion of the Presidents interest in the
undertaking and his pleasure in con-
tributing to this testimonial to Admiral
Dewey.

A Streak of Fat AID slreak Of Lear

4 Streak Of Fat AID Streak of Lear.
The question Of feeding hogs for
bacon instead Il lard is again brought
TO the front by consular agitation Of
the subj ct One Of our cOnsuls l0cat-
ed IN an English city points out that
within given year the United King
dom imported five million hundred
weights tf bacon. largly from the Unit
ed States, yet our own sold for 81
10 s. less than the Canadian and
Danish bacon, due to the unsuitability
OF tie product from the standpoint Of
English consumers taste. He indicates
the chief disadvantage Of our bacon in
the excessive amount Of fat. At the
same time he agrees with many farmers
in our western corn belt, who maintain
it Will not pay to feed for bacon that
there is more profit in crOwding hogs
with corn in order to get weight even
though it is lard fat. All this, how
ever, deos not alter the fact that our
Canadian cousins are making good
money by feeding large amounts Of
peas and such other rations as produce
lean bacon The question may well be
asked. why may not some such course
prove profitable in our northern states,
including MINES ia, Visions n, New
York and New England?
