SUCCESS COMES QUICKLY
Wood Working Machinery Sold Before
Factory Is in Operation.

One Of the new and successful Mime
apolis industries is about ready to begin
sending its products over the United
States and Canada. 1t is already sue
cessful, altho the machinery for instalia
ton in the factory and use in making
it's product is still on the way from Gin
cinnati.
Sixteen orders have been received and
the factory is not running yet.
The company is made up Of several
men in the employ of the G. A. Smith
Lumber company in Camden Place. It
is called the Mareen-J ohnson company
and will manufacture box-making ma
chinery The capital is $4,000, and
the officers are: President, G. A.
Smith; vice president, Arno Mareen;
secretary, Victor T johnson; treasurer,
Charles G. Johnson.
The factory is 4Ozs0 feet and the
office is 14x28 feet in dimensions. The
company makes several kinds of ma
chimes to be used in box manufacture.
They are designed as labor saving de-
vices. One machine resaws and makes
the top and bottom of the box at the
same time. Another one will be manu-
featured to squeeze the box together
and another to trim the lumber. From
sixteen to twenty hands will be en-
ployed when the factory is running.

OPENING FOR TWO MORE
JOBBE1PS Nv DRY GOODS
MINNEAPOLIS A1ready Has One of the Largest Honses M
Country, but Trade Usages Are Such That 1t Must
Di0ide the Trade of the Territory With Other Cities

"This town would support two larger
drygoods houses than that of Wyman,
Partridge & Co..
Minneapolis is ten years behind its
country tributary and must grow.'
These two startling statements were
made by a citizen of Minneapolis thoro-
ly familiar with the jobbing business
in e conversation about the possibilities
of Minneapolis in the way of mercantile
development.
"Wyman, Partridge & Co., would well
come the advent of larger business
than theirs in the same line,' he added.
The same willingness to have competi-
ton is entertained by other wholesalers
and manufacturers, he said.
Ono mans ideas Of the possibilities
open to Minneapolis, in case she gets
and takes care Of her full share of trade,
can be estimated, should his guess in re-
gard to the drygoods trade be enlarged
to include all lines. It has generally
been supposed that Minneapolis was
well fortified to capture the drygoods
business of its territory with one Of
the biggest wholesale houses Of the sort
in the United States. Yet there is
probably enough more business to sup
port two even bigger houses, if the
northwestern and western tributary
territory trade is taken care of. The
big firm Of jobbers referred to does a
business Of at least $9,000,000 annually,
it is said. Adding one-third and multi

get and keep a proper proportion Of
the trade from that village Minneapolis
must look to it that it has more than
one wholesale house in each line of bust
ness as well as a variety Of lines.
An instance is this: Recently one of
the big wholesale firms sold three en-
tirely new stocks in it's line. But in
neither case could the buyers Of these
new stocks get fitted out with hats and
caps in Minneapolis, because its whole
sale and manufacturing house already
but Minneapolis jobbers lost by this
understood rule Of business. The hat
and cap firm could not get the trade
anyway, but the city lost the advantage
Of holding the trade Of these firms in
the future, which, like as not, will buy
their drygoods, their crockery, their
woodenware and their groceries, along
with their hats and caps, in some other
city, where they can get one complete
stock.
Of course it is not policy for a big
to sell more than one customer in the
average country village. It surfeits the
place with one style of manufacture
and results in price cutting and other
methods of competition hostile to the
best interests of both the jobber and
the retailer. When it is part of the
bargain that certain retailer is to
have exclusive sale of the goods Of a
certain wholesale house, it naturally
makes trouble if its goods are found
on competitor s counter, or if its trav-
cling men take occasion to call at the
other place of business.
Not long ago Minneapolis concern
had to refuse to sell country retailer
single pair Of slippers, because it had
his home competitor as a regular Gus
toner.
The same condition applies in such
a big city as Minneapolis. Drygoods
jobbers who sell big lines to the depart
ment stores, for instance, must gener-
ally select one firm as a customer and
stick to it. The other houses then must
buy outside. Business men say it is
too bad for the city to lose such trade,
and, therefore, that we should have
more drygoods houses.

came a steady customer. AS most Of
the new establishments were Hgeneral'
stores, the manufacturers and iobbers
of each city often worked together to
get the entire business, say, for Mime
apolis. Naturally, in turn, the whole
salers favored their customer in every
way.
Sometimes this arrangement became

ulation grew in each little town, some

amount Of trade for the city, in one
line alone.

lines, nor do the manufacturers either,
On the principle Of ''Live and let live.'
Something more potent than the philan-
thropic desire to let other firms have
some Of the business moves them to
desire other big firms to come into the
market. The real reason is the realiza-
tion that they cannot handle all the
available trade alone, but must have
help.
Some intimation of this is contained
in the second strong statement made by
the business man who talked to T h e

and manufacturing expansion.
Rural Trade Growing.
Celebrating this remark he said that
while country towns used to have only
one or two stores, now the average run
has from six to eight, while Mime
apolis, their source Of merchandise, had
not SO greatly enlarged its facilities.
For instance, ten years ago it had one
big drygoods house in the wholesale
district Now it has the same single
jobbing firm, which does perhaps as
large a business as conditions will per-
NIT, yet it has not had an increase COM

other budding capitalist would take it
into his head to start another store and
try for some of the business, and some
times he had thesbetter store and made
the better customer. Competition or
business rivalry in these little places
is generally SO bitter that it would be
suicidal for the travelling men Of the
house from whom the original store
keeper bought tos try to strike up any
trade with the newcomer: Then must
come. the .decisi ons by the jobber' wheth-
er to stick to the old love, or to be on
with the new. Conservative houses gen
orally cling to the first friend and there
fore the second store has to do it's buy
ing from some other wholesale firm, in
thessame city, or in some other city.
Easily then, to hold that trade the
trade center must have other jobbing
facilities to offer. 1t is for this reason
that the statement was made that Min
neapolis could support two more large
dry goods jobbing houses and that Min
neapolis was ten years behind the de-

is intensified by the fact that strong
retail stores are springing UP turnout
Minneapolis territory. These are stores
operated like string banks, by one set
of brains and with one lot of capital.
Their buyers are apt to purchase stocks
for the entire string from one set of
wholesale houses. If for any reason the
single Minneapolis bo4tandsh shoe fac
competitor of one of the stores of the
string, it is likely to lose the business
of the entire string.
The situation is recognized By one
Minnesota man, who offers to put $780,
600 into wholesale hat-and cap house,
along with other capital.

Openings in Other Lines.
Investigation has developed the fact
that this doubling or TRIPPING Of Min
neapolis' facilities could be extended
down the line. The city could support
more than one shoe factory and job
bling house, another one or two crock
cry houses, additional hat and cap
wholesale houses, etc. ". -
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
the larger and more varied in industries
trade center, which supplies certain
territory, the more attractive it is to
the country retailer and the more likely
he is to buy nearer home than to- go
farther east. This rule Holds very good
until the country point becomes big

The experiment of oiling a number

this morning under the direction of the
street committee and Frank Rees of
Los Angeles. The sprinkling of the
oily fluid was witnessed by a large
crowd of interested spectators this
morning when the work was begun on
Boyer avenue. Up to noon five appli-

This morning two sprinkling wagons
were used in taking the oil from the
tanks and spreading it on the avenue.
The avenue was we'll covered with the
oil which soon began sinking into the
ground, changing the light color of the
soil to a dark one similar to asphalt
when it is first laid on the streets.
The avenue was closed to traffic
from Palouse as far east as the Odd
Fellows home.
The experiment will be watched with
a great deal of interest as if it proves
to be what is claimed for it by Mr..
Rees it will be the means of solving
the question of keeping down the
dust throughout the city during the
summer months.
Palouse will be treated in similar
manner as soon as Boyer avenue is
completed and Chase avenue is also to
be given a light coating of oil.

Neishborhood.

B. F. Simmons, proprietor of the
Simmons fruit ranch on Snake river
is a Walla Walla visitor today. 81
never saw wheat looking so well in the
light land country" Mr.. Simmons de-
clared this morning. Within two
miles of Snake river the grain has at
tanned such growth that much of it
is simply falling down from it's own
weight. Unless the elements interfere
farmers of the light land country will
simply coin money this season."
Regarding the fruit prospects in his
section Mr.. Simmons stated that he
was already picking apricots and
peaches from his orchards. The peach
crop is extra fine this year and he is
finding a ready market for all the fruit
he can supply. Little fruit is raised in
Franklin county and the new section
is developing into quite a market.

Two Thousand Babes a Week

NEW YORK, June 2S-Two thou
sand babes a week, or one every five
minutes, are added to New York's pop
ulation, and the number is constantly
increasing. There were 2,O11 last
week. the health department is now
taking a census of the greater city. 1t
was announced at the department that
the birth rate of New York has now
risen to about 81 per 1000, and is high
er than any city in the United States.
Five or six years ago, when there
was so much talk about race suicide,
the birthrate here was only rs per
1000. Since then the storks nave been
growing buster and buster. Last year
the birthrate was 30 per 1000. Accord
ing to political economists the ideal
standard birth rate is 30 per 1000.
