Pointer to Business Men.

The following from the Bennington
Reformer is a pointer to business men in
any community:
During the year just closed, the firm
of A. Drysdale & Son of Bennington,
did the largest business of any year in
the history of the firm. The year of 1902
was their largest year, the month of
December was their largest month, and
during the holiday trade, they had the
largest day. To this it is only necessary
to add that never before did r. S. Drys-
dale, the head of the firm, spend so
much time money and attention on his
advertising and the whole thing is out
The measure of mans success in
business nowadays depends more on
his advertising than on any other one
thing.

The coal strike has been good thing
for Vermont in more ways than one.
The people were obliged to burn wood,
and thus large sum of money has been
put in circulation here instead of being
sent out of the state. More than this,
many people have purchased improved
wood stoves and have found that wood
is cheaper to burn than coal even at old
prices. 1t is safe to say there will be
less coal and more wood burned in the
future in Vermont and the state will
benefit thereby.

printed were two very effective cartoons.
One, a map of the towns in its field,

We have seen no reference by the
press to the actual number of voters in
the state. Attention has been called
entirely to the 10 900 less voters on the
referendum than at the September
election. There is never of course full
vote. but we should like to know where
the Register gets it's authority for saying
that there were 10000 or more voters
who did not come to the polls in Feb
ruary Mortified News.
The Register gets its authority from
the check lists of the different towns
that contain in round numbers the
names of 10000 legal voters.

Do We Wa IN Ind U stry?
NOrthfield News saws:

The Mortified News says:
GAS showing the benefits of manu-
featuring business in Vermont towns
the record of the underwear factory,
opened at Richmond in July, 1900, is a
good example. During the two and one
half years of its business the company
has paid out to employees $50, 900 and
$4,000. 1t has sold land and village lots
for more than $4,000, on which have
been erected more than $50 900 worth of
buildings. These figures mean good
deal to a town the size of Richmond, or
to the average town in the state If the
citizens of almost any town would take
hold of the matter and make persistent
effort it would be possible to secure
some kind of manufacturing business
which would add largely to the material
prosperity of the town. If 100 towns in
the state were to secure manufacturing
industries which were as successful as
the Richmond concern, it would mean
much for Vermont. And right here the
News will repeat what it has often said
before. There is big field in this state
for the canning industry. Vermont pro-
duces vegetables which are excelled by
no other state. 1t ought and will some
time raise and send out millions of dol
lars worth annually"
This town can do what Richmond has
done. Shall it? All that is required is
united earnest effort on the part of our
business men and leading citizens.
What has been done in Richmond can
be done here, and more, as this town
can offer greater advantages.

FAVOR OILED ROADS.
City and Town officials COnsid der
Crude OIL Better Than Water
for Laying Dust.

The use of oil on highways is steadily
increasing in favor. In Moline, H., oil
has been tried in place of water as a
remedy for dust, and the results have
been most satisfactory. Bourbon, Ind,
is considering the idea of sprinkling
the streets with oil. The dust prob
lem there is very serious one during
the summer months, for there are no
gravel beds from which to construct
roads. The towns of California, which
have been doing more in this line than
those of any other state, are testify
ing to the great benefits derived from
oil on the highways, by the continued
use they are making of this means Of
laying the dust. The board of super
visors of Sacramento are greatly in
favor of oiled roads. Three hundred
to $50 barrels of oil mile are at times
necessary for the permanent packing
of sand road, but in many cases only
$50 barrels need be used. The roads
of California are, in most cases, of
sand, and the great benefits derived
from the consolidating of this sand
with the oil is continually testified to
by those in charge of the highways.
Not only is the oil a better dust layer
and a more permanent one, but it
is also more economical than water,
inasmuch as the roads need to be
oiled but once or twice a year, while
sprinkling with water must be done
every little while.
