Der Of these men is very large.
Spanlard Is Successful.
There is one pushcart man, a Epaniard,
who does remarkably successful bust
ness selling peanuts and bananas. He has
made and saved thousands of dollars by
selling peanuts.
He buys only the best grades of nuts,
and sells three bags every two weeks.
This brings him in $66 from an outlay
of SIS. His profit is s51, or about $25
week.
In addition to his peanuts he sells about
1000 bananas a. day None of these sells
for less than one cent each, and most OF
them sell at cents for three. Bananas
cost from rs cents to 81 a bunch, according
to quality. A bunch contains from rs to
100 bananas.
As the bananas are only a medium grade
his whole 1000 do not cost him more than
$12. while he takes in at least $40. His
minimum profit day on bananas Is 49,
or about $50 week. This, plus the SIS
week from the sale of peanuts, makes
his earnings about s75 week.
Pushcart Man Tries Havana.
This man has brother in Havana. who
is a prosperous cigar dealer. After the

When he had between 5000 oand $1,000
he forwarded the money to his brother.
who bought for him a restaurant and
cafe Then he left his pushcart and be-
came saloonkeeper in Havana.
he prospered at that likewise, but at
the end of three months he sold out his
business, at a loss, came back to this
country and once more took up his old
stand with the same old cart.
It was the mosquitoes that drove him
out Of Cuba In the three months he was
there he lost forty-five pounds, and his
wife was i'll most of the time. When he
could stand it no longer he said good-by
to his brother and left the land Of eternal

PROFITS THAT ARE MADE
BY THE PUSHCART MAN
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The profits of the pushcart peddier are
large. Twenty-Five or 80 per cent is sc
small profit that pushcart men seldom
handle goods paying no more. Therefore,
though the amount of each sale is usually
small, some of these men are well paid
for their days work.
Suspenders they sell for 10 and 10 cents
pair. sell wholesale for 60 cents dozen,
or cents a pair, their profit on each
pair being 100 to 200 per cent Small neck
ties that sell for 8 and 10 cents each, may
be bought for 81 a gross, the profit being
even larger than on suspenders.
Stockings may be bought from push
carts for and 10 cents a pair. These
goods can be bought at wholesale for as
little as IS cents a dozen. In almost every
case the peddler's profit is above 100 per
cent.
Some of the fruit vendors are in bust
ness for themselves others are hired for
their board and a small wage Down on
Water street are two brothers who en-
ploy about twenty peddlers.
Where Pushcarts Are Stored.
They have a large house, in the base
ment of which the pushcarts are stored at
night. The rooms upstairs are used as bed
rooms, where the peddlers sleep on hunks.
On the first floor is a large table where
they are fed. They get only the cheapest
kind of food.
These peddlers receive about so or so
cents a day, and are required to account
for every cents worth Of peanuts given
them.
A bag of peanuts costs the peddler from
| 50. 50 to IS and weighs 10 pounds. Two
pounds make a quart. The nuts sell for
cents a pint or 20 cents a pound.
| At that rate a bag will sell for s22 and
