be safely said that the II. B. Clafn Company has

Like all really great business enterprises which are
built upon solid foundations. the H B. Cafin Com

wonderful business is of the most interesting
character, showing what human enterprise.
probity, steady perseverance. limitess energy and
hard work can accomplish Horace B. Claim, the
founder of the business, was born on December 10
1911 In 1884, wher twenty years Of age he sue
ceeded his father in general store business at
Milford Mass, and the following year branch
opened at Worcester. Mass. Here it was that
he developed his original ideas of furtherlng the
interests of the drygoods trade. He inaugurated
novel and vital changes in bushes methods par
ticularly IN advertising. He also soon realized the
advantage and Importance of buying in the New
York market, Boston at this period having been
the chief purchasing centre for the Massachusetts
merchants. The increase in his Worcester Dusl-
ness had become great and the shrewd grasp
he had obtained of the marvellous opportunities
offered for successful trading in New-York. which
had than doubled its population since ne 1r1 9

with William F. Bulkley and founded the great

of the globe at No IS Cedar-st starting with the
modest ca pital of $4,000. Some idea OF the growth
of the business be gathered from the fact that
In 1853 it amounted 81 0o)00 In 1850 the business
transacted reached about $13.5C1Oo0. The greatest
purely drygoods business the world has ever
known was transacted by the firm in one year

FROM LOOMS OF PERSIA.
Revival of Rug Making-It Is a Regular
Business Now Carried on Under
Modern Methods.

! One Of The most remarkable aspects in the
development of American commerce has been
the growth and progress of the trade in the
floor coverings Of the Orient. particularly in
( those coming from the rug provinces of Persia,
which have been famous since the most ancient
days for the products of their looms Only "A
few years ago. well in the memory of lovers Of
Oriental art, American trade I'm Oriental rugs
was confined to few houses in the larger cities
1t was dependent, moreover, upon the periodic
arrival of invoices of old rugs collected in Tur-
key and Persia together with some modern
rugs in bright colors
Coming from regions far distant from one
ar other and totally different in conditions and
surroundings, these products of the Eastern
weavers art presented medley Of weave and
coloring, from the crude and shaggy strips that
had covered the tent-foor of the Kurdish chief
in his mountain retreat. to the exquisite gems of
most delicate color and perfect workmanship
that the master weavers of Ispahan had woven
for the gaze of royal princes.
The standards Of true art being universal
! 1t was natural for lovers of art in America
to be attracted by the quaint yet marvellous
beauty of color and design in the choicest of
Oriental rugs, which before long found their
way TO the homes of the educated and refined
people throughout the country. The European
markets. however. had also their demand for
OF the Orient. and soon the streams began 10
run dry. first here and then there Within
decade the Oriental rug trade has undergone
remarkable revolution. In consequence of its pc
-culiar character.
From accidental beginnings. with haphazard
shipments and a course of trade without any
apparent foundation fer development, the i'm
portation Of Oriental rugs has come TO have a
fixed and prominent place as an established and
important branch of American commerce with
the Orient AT the outset new collection of
antique rugs reaching the American market
would create demand and forthwith col
/ lectors would ransack all the unfrequented cor
ners of the Oriental provinces to secure the
choicest pieces of the kind. and for time there
! would come shipments of rugs that delighted
; the lovers of Oriental with their beautiful
sheen. gorgeous color schemes and the soft tints

had done his work, il the end. Thus n is

and antiques of Bokharas, KAYAKS Karaba ghs
and Trans of all grades passing into the
! same category
To bring out of this situation a stable con-
dltion OF trade that would be susceptible of de-
Velopment in proportion to the demand was the
problem That had TO be solved.
