A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention Of
articles of minor Importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit :he people and meet
popular conditions, and one OF the most
of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l. so. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandrutf. hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec-
trio Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight hair curly in p
days time. Thousands OF these electric
combs have been sold in various cities of
the Union, aud the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs
They positively sell on sight. Send for

TRADE REVIEW ron THE WEEK.
Conservatism the Strong Feature Of
the Business Situation. T.


New York, June Ar. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review OF Trado says:
Interruptions OF Industrial progress
by the holiday, labor conflicts and in
clement weather again produced
somewhat unsatisfactory trade situa-
tion. Yet the money market is easy
and accommodation easily obtained il
legitimate business channels. \ Liabil-
tiles of mercantile failures are COM
paratively small, indicating that. mos.
concerns have prepared for a quiet
season and are able to withstand
period OF diminished sales AID tardy
payments. This conservative atti-
tude is the fundamentally strong feat
ure of the situation and when business
revives there will be no pressure to
dispose of heavy stocks of undesirable
goods. More manufacturing plants
have reduced hours or wages and sew
eral strikes have added TO the army
Of unemployed.
No definite change Is reported in
the iron and steel industry, quota
tions being barely maintained and
new contracts placed with great dis
elimination. More machinery has
stopped at some concerns and running
time is reduced at others. In several
districts prices have declined sufii-
ciently to attract business from
abroad and this increase in exports is
the best feature of the situation. Lit.
tie change is noted in textile manu-
featuring conditions.
