would initiate the tactics of Viennese
lamp makers and open stores Of their

No native can sell American wares
in a foreign country as successfully as
an American who is familiar with the
language and customs Of the country.
This has In recent years been demon
strated in every large city of Europe.
The American knows what most re-

A curious society exists in the town

Seven Days Rest Association. 1t Is
composed of men who make 1t a rule

In the greatest esteem by all. They are
men who. born In humble life, have
by steady labor saved a modest COM
petence. Now they spend the evening
of their days in the parks and other
places of rest far from the roar of the
forge and loom, with which their early
life was associated. Nor are the en-
