The plan OF organization OF the ex-

so through the initial stages OF mining
development, but these mistakes Will be

mines In the East? Convince any respon-
sible business man here that he has a
good investment in mines and he Will In

market. This Is a great city and destined
to be far greater. It's lines of commerce
run out uhtii tney foucn the remotcSt
parts of the world. But much as admire

balance from Idaho and Washington. The
whole realty situation In Spokane has
changed completely. Mortgages have been
lifted and magnificent new homes have
been built and the whole city has taken
on a new life.

CHANCES TO SHOW GOODS.
where American Manufacturers May
Exhibit Their Wares to Buyers.


American manufacturers. whether Of
hardware or other articles. will have in
the National Export exposition, which
opens this fall in Philadelphia, an oppor-
tunity to show their products to the buy
ers'' OF the world. side by side with SAM
pies OF the goods England Germany and
other manufacturing countries are now
exporting. And from the way that man.
ufacturers are Fastening to secure space
there seems 10 be a widespread confidence
in all lines OF trade that what has been
done In hardware and machine building
can be done in almost all other branches
Of manufacture.
Twenty-Five years ago, as every man
who had the least thing TO do with hard
ware at that time will remember. the
word "brummagem'' applied to n!nc-tcnths
Of the stock OF any hardware shop.
Brummagem was short for Birmingham
ware. and about everything that was made
Of metal. save. Of course. the crudest pro-
ducts Of the blacksmith shops, was import
ed from that city-knives, nails. guns, re-
volvers. hinges. tools-all went under the
designation OF ''brummagem." But with
the decline OF the idea that II was poor
business policy to send Goals 20 New Cas-
tie, came the decline OF B!rmingham's
greatness in the hardware trade.
These are Just few of the things that
with, tho sast few weeks. things that
Birmingham could not match in quality
and price. They are taken from the ex-
port bulletins printed in the commercial
papers: Thirty-fve cases of Seth Thomas
clocks 10 LIVERPOOL some tons Of hardware
speciaities To London: rs cases OF lawn
mowers from Philadelphia to England
(where they are preferred to the heavier
English mower): several hundred gross or
Connecticut padlocks to London c'brum-
magem paddock was once the synonym
for security; 400 food choppers 10 London:
Michigan wire fence 10 England: Connec-
ticut steel springs 10 big factory at lps-
wich. and $4,000 horizontal boring ma
chine from Bement. Miles & Co. OF Phil
adelphsa. 10 Dick Kerr & Co. OF London.
These are only few OF the exports that
We are landing right In England-the new
and interesting ones-and do not inclu1e
the endless list Of exports that have been
going there regularly for months, or that
are pushing English hardware out OF the
general markets of the world
