And See How You Stand with your
Tailor
The man who thinks he has the best
OF his tailor had better take of his
coat and examine the tag under the
collar, where, with & eat care, the
fashioner of garments has sewn il
Then let him look at the stitching
which binds that innocent bit Of linen
to the cloth.
AS surely as bad habits leave their
mark upon the countenance of the
wicked, so your tailor has set his seal
upon your coat. The honest man, the
slow payer the schemer and the bard
man TO suit are known by the stitches.
The object of this sartorial fancy is to
enable tnilors to tell at glance
whether you are good customer or
not. Its AL in the stitching, as il
were. Here is the key. The 'tog"
stitch is the one regularly used for
customers who require good work
The criss cross is significant OF slow
pay. The stitch with dots and dashes
which looks like the Morse teleErapbic
alphabet, tells the ipquiring tailor
that its owner Is bad customer. The
reverse dot stitch shows the good fell
low who wishes his friends to dress
well, but hates TO pay what they will
finally owe on his ntIoduction

cock, Thomas II. Dale, Meredith L.
Jones, Luther Keller and your secre-
tary We're elected delegates to attend
a convention of business men which
| was held in these rooms June 2Sth.
The purpose of this meeting was to
take some action against the alleged
unjust discrimination in freight rates
against anthracite coal. The conven-
ton was attended by the most promi-
nent business men of the anthracite
district of the state. Our worthy mem
Der, Thomas II. Dale, was elected pres
idCnt. a permanent organization was
effected, to be known hereafter as the
Anthracite association. The matter
which was considered so vital to the
interests Of this great industry was
thoroughly discussed. Many sugges-
/ tions and propositions were made.
COMMITTEE UNSUCCESSFUL.
A committee was appointed to wait
upon the presidents Of the coal carry
ing roads to come, if possible, to some
"
unsuccessful in its attempt to meet
these gentlemen and therefore nothing
was accomplished along that line 1t
was finally decided to procure the best
legal talent to be had, bring a test
case under the interstate commerce
law, and i'm that way see if there was
any redress through our courts. The
association is now working along that
line. Committees from the several
/ commercial organizations represented
/ at the convention are securing SUBJ
/ sCriptiOns to meet the EXPENSES of such
| q case. The outcome will be awaited
| with much interest by all business
| men of the anthracite region. In the
meantime q number of SCranton's most
progressive citizens and capitalists
are endeaVOring to promote a scheme
which provides for the building of an
independent railroad from this city to
tideWater. 1t IS held by some that
only through such a medium as this
can relief be secured. However that
may be the present agitation of this
important question can not but be
! beneficial to the great anthracite in
! duStry.
Other matters of more or less inn
! portance were considered by the board
J during the past year, Of which 1 will
! not sneak at this time. Suffice II to
| say that, taking it all in all, the years
! business of the board in the several
| lines indicated will compare favorably
with those Of the past.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.
To sum it all up, it seems almost
| exact to say that the big industries
have held their own throughout 1898,
Notwithstanding the commotion and
unsettled feeling caused by the war.
The small concerns have perhaps done
better in general way. Merchants
and tradeSmen have conducted their
business close to the living point and
the people have retrenched to the point
of living nicely but not eXtravagantly."
In this connection the following
statistics taken from r. C. Dun d
companys local report Will be inter-
esting. In Scranton, in 1898, there
We're 81 failures of a pronounced ma
ture, such as We're evidenced by eXecu-
tion, levy and sale. The total liabili-
ties aggregated to $2SS525 and the nom
inal assets were SlOl, 745. In almost
every instance both the falling and re-
firing firms were succeeded by new
ones so that as a matter of fact in
1898 the Scranton list of business places
did not shrink with regard to num-
bers. 1t seems to be commonly con-
sidered that the first six months were
the hardest half of the year from n
business standpoint: yet out of the 60
failures % occurred during the first
six months and 80 during the last half
of the year, and the failures OF the
last half were also much heavier. Tho
assets averaged about 40 per cent. Of
| liabilities, which is about in accord
ance with the general average through
out the United States. AS l could not
get data for 1897 a comparison can
not be made, but from a reliable party
l have learned that the failures of 1898
We're less in number than those of
1897. Scranton in the matter of fail
ures does not suffer by comparison
with other towns. Mercantile collec-
tlons have noticeably improved, espec-
tally during the last four months, and
the feeling among retail merchants is
| better than II was eight months ago;
and with the constant operation of the
manufacturing industries and the in
crease in the coal OUTPUT the pros
poets for general business this year
seem bright.

! large silk mill was under course OF
| construction in the Tenth ward. Dur

Dealing with the subject in a general
way and basing conclusions upon the
information at hand, it may be said
that the past year, while very good
in many instances. in the industrial
phase has fallen behind somewhat. In
other words, conditions have maintain
ed themselves in a fairly advantage
Gus position and, as compared with
1897, are but little better. The end of
the war has given an impetus to bust
ness and the outlook for 1899 is en-
couraging. The indications are that it
will be an Improvement on several of

PRESIDENT KELLER'S VIEWS.
President Kellers report treated par
hcularly of the investment of home
capital and was as follows:
in view of the fact that our sec
retary has prepared an exhaustive
report on the work of the hoard dur
ing the past year, / will not take up
your time with any remarks along that
line. l do desire, however, TO en-
phaslze what was said by my worthy
predecessor, w. a. Nav in his re-
port 10 you in 1895, relative to the
investment of our capital in out-of-
town enterprises at the expense Of our
own city and our personal interests.
We are all prone To look with favor
upon promising outside investments,
and l do not pretend to question the
light of any man TO invest his money
where and when he may. do say,
however, that our first thought should
be of our own city, where we have
spent the best years of our lives and
expect TO remain during the wears TO
come. This applys with especial force
to those who have large property in
terests In Scranton. Without indus
rial growth, property is bound, soon
sr or later. to depreciate in value,
