Merely a Fable.

There was once man wh5 by
reason of lack of judgment had
fallen into hard lines and was in
want.
To him there came an old friend
who assured him that he sym
pathized with him from the bottom
of his heart; that it was a matter
Of real pain for him to see a friend
i'll want, especially when this sad
condition of affairs resulted from a
plain neglect of opportunity; that
he hoped and trusted and prayed
this experience would not deaden
his ambition, but that it. would be
a spur to better effort and an i'm
pulse to more watchfulness in his
next enterprise; that it really griev-
ed him, and that he must convey
his sympathy and kindly regards
to his destitute family.
To him there came also another
old friend who told him that he
was double distilled fool that hex
had gone into this thing with his
eyes shut and had been bumped
properly, as was to have been ex-
pected, and that he deserved every
bit of his hard luck; brt that if he
needed little assistance here was
check for enough to get him on
his feet, and for heavens sake to
try to accumulate little common
sense and put it in service hereaf-
ter.
Moral: You can endorse SYM
pathy, but nobody will cash it.

northwest. The business kept on expand
ing and Mr.. SemmeS induced Edward j.
Kelly to associate himself with the concern
under the firm name of the Semmes-kelly
Company, with headquarters at the present
location 614-616 Pennsylvania avenu. This
marked the real beginning Of the business
on a large scale.
From the very first it was purely and
simply wholesale business To supply the
trade. Mr.. Semmes bought his own house
hold groceries from retailer in the neigh
borhood and steadily refused to supply even
the men in his employ. He believed that
the retailer was entitled to sell to the con-
sumner. making a fair profit on his sales,
and that the line should be shaped down
between the retailer and the jobber.
That policy is not by any means universal
in Washington and its adoption made the
firm popular from the start. The local
retailers approved of it, of course. and
their favor was made manifest by ac-
tual purchases. Then the firm carried this
policy out into the country. Mr.. Semmes
investigations had shown him what the
trade wanted and immense stocks of goods
of all kinds were secured
The company also put on the market
number of spcci1lties either manufactured
or controlled exclusively by itself. These
were widely advertised until they became
popular. \ demand was created which the
retailer was left free to supply. Sponge
ate" is one of these specialties which
enabled the firm to penetrate territory that
could not have been reached in any other
way.
MIR. Semmes tells an interesting story of
the firms efforts along new lines. He says:
Always too. the stock has been we'll
supplied with California products and i'm
ported delicacies. We have established
reputation for these articles, based upon
their excellence. The leading hotels in
Washington and at She summer resorts are
our regular customers. We have kept their

and then went on the road to introduce the
product He had wonderful success.
Gradually We extended our territory and
increased our selling force until now Mr..
Board GIrects the work of nine men the

ingtou to Tampa, and far west as the
Mississippi liver.

jobbers. We do not sell the retailer at ALL
Practically every shipment made has been

Oh large scale. We have been able to
convince the trade it is profitable to deal
with u, for it SO happens that all of our
direct competitors have their plants situated

or several hundred miles to the west of
Washington. The south is our field and
we are supplying the trade in that sectian

The Semmes- Kelley Company, wholesale
erocers, furnish a splendid example of the
measure of success that may be attained
in the jobbing trade right here in Washing
ton. The company had its begnning-a
very modest one-iive years ago. Last year
It's business amounted to more than
quarter of q million dollars.
But before the business was begun in
even the modest way mentioned, Mr..
Semmes mad gone over the field it was ex-
pected to cater to and had closely examined
into its needs. He learned what goods the
merchants wanted and how they wanted
them packed. Then-and not until then
did the firm send out its travelling men.
Mr. Semmes started the bushes himself,
his first store carrying a very small stock
of goods. But In s.N months the business
had grown to such proportions that larger
quarters became necessity and the new
location was secured at 10th and G streets

HE SAN FRANCrsUO FUND

Everybody in sksgwsy, who can afford to do so, should call at W. w. Broughtou's store and make a contrtbu- tion to the San Francisco relief fund. The contribution should be as large as one can mako it without inconvenience, but no one should refuse to contribute because he feels that other obligations make 1t impossible for him to give as much as he would like. Juneau, Douglas and Treadwell gave s6,OOO; Valdez contributed s1,OOO; many east srn cities donated practically Sl per inhsbitsnt. The great fund that is being raised testifes to the charity and nobility of the American and Canadian people, and skagwsy should be proper ly represented in it.
 A fsvorite way of making donations st Seattle and other places that prob ably could be utilized here is for people engsged in & certain house or 6 certain line or otherwise associated, to raise sp amount by each contributing oO cents, sl $2, s5, more or less, as he feels able, and to put the total on the list without enumerating the givers. Bv this means those who feel that their necessities prevent their giving ss much as their neighbors think they should are saved the humiliation Of having their contributions made a matter of gossip. San Francisco will require help for many weeks, and the contributions coming in at this day VIII be appreciated just as much or more than were those inspired by the i'm pulse to the sympathies resulting from the first terrible shock. They will help on that long, hard uphill pull that the stricken people will have to make in the weeks and months that are to come, when the stimulating excitement shall have died out and much of the sympathy that has sustained them shall have been directed elsewhere.
