other people to manage. In the past they
took an active part and accumulated
much money in such great industries as
the street railroad lines of st. Louis, in
the tobacco industry. in the beer industry.
in gas companies, or in some vast manu-
featuring enterprise. These gentlemen
are supposed to he retired merchants. but
they arc really tho most active o. St.

TRANSFER COMPANIES.
Brings to the Merchants Door All
Kinds of Merchandise.

The Mississippi River makes the trans
fer business very great one in st. Louis
Most freight shipped to st. Louis stops
at East st. Louis, and the merchant
must find some way of bringing it over
If the entire car is brought over with
the contents il is brought over on on one
of the large bridges, or on steel harges.
towed by a tug. If 1t is in smaller lots
the freight is generally brought over in
wagons. and by. one of the three large
transfer companies. These companies go
to the door or bring to the door, of the
merchant all kinds of general merchan-
disc, except bulk freight, such as coal,
hay and corn.
The round trip across the bridge for
team is seventy cents. The merchant
who does not have a complete load OF
freight can economize by having his stuff
brought over on one wagon. which also
carries the merchandise of number of
other firms.
lii a city Of the size of ST. Louis the
transfer business across the Mississippi
must necessarily be enormous, and Ii is
now rapidly growing A new transfer
company was organized only four years
to-day 1t has its own shops to make its
own wagons it makes its. own harness.
does its own painting, shoes its own
horses besides having a large number
of wagons for its business.
This company is in many respects a
model one in the way in which 1t treats
its employees. 1t pays better wages than
any other company: it gives, its men a
vacation every year: It sends them to
recent strike by the employees of the
older companies its men refused to take
any part. stating that they absolutely
had no grievance.
