One Saturday afternoon two Brook
lyn men were on their way over Fulton
ferry TO the City OF Churches. Mr..
Beecher happened to be on board. AS
the ferryboat felt its way into the slip
Mr.. Beecher seemed to be looking on
abstractedly AS the boat struck the
piling at the side. which creakngly
yielded. Mr.. Beecher's face lighted up.
One of the men. who knew Mr.. Beech
er's method Of sermonlzing. remarked
TO the other: There will be something
about that In tomorrow's sermon. Let
US go and See" The men were in Plym-
outh church the following morning as
suggested Sure enough. Ia the course
OF the sermon Mr.. Beccher made some
such reference as this: "There are in
every community men who perform
for society the service that yonder pill
ing does I'm the ferry sllp-when they
are struck they gracefully yield, yet
are not quite swept from their position.
They stand for principle. but they tact
fully yield in nonessentials Those
buffer souls are valuable members OF
society"

the term, toubie statehood. is giving
way TO the better and less confusing
term, separate statehood. Both terms
express the same idea, and mean the

that is what It means. and the term

having sold out his interest, started
for himself at his present location.
From a small beginning, Mr.. Wilcox
has built up his present plant until it
now occupies over two square blocks,
employs over 225 men. with an an
nual output Of over half a million a
year. Altho his plant was entirely
destroyed by the big fire in the lun-
Der district in 1892, it was rebuilt at
once, and occupies it's present loca-

Mr.. Wilcox is very fortunate in
having associated with him i'll the
management of his business, his sons,
Harry E. and Ralph D. Wilcox, to-
gether with his brother. Frank E..
Wilcox, who are men of great business
ability, and have exercised great in
fluence in building the business up to
it's present reputation.
The founder and owner of this i'm

thru the integrity and ability of such
men that Minneapolis has become the
