one. and that the actual taking of
orders by the travelling representa-
tives of Washington houses would
be OF secondary Importance. Con-
sequently the last two days OF actual
experience has made me very en-
thusiastic indeed.
Victor !. Becker, the +. G.. Smith
Piano Company representative, is
sure enough live wire, and has done
good business all the way down the
line. He has taken orders for pianos
in Manassas, Charlottesville and
Lvnchburg, and expects TO make a
considerable portion OF Virginia,
North Carolina, West Virginia and
Maryland start i'll on musical boom
before he gets through.
Mr.. Becker is the original
Cricket on the Hearth. > He
came south with about 10000 little
TOYS that look like a cross between
a busy katvdid and a seven-year To-
Gust, and that make noise like a
compton fit. He is off the spe-
cial almost before it comes to a
standstill, and by the time the other
travelling men start up town to do
business they meet the entire youth
full population of the place drifting
down toward the train and making
the crickets work overtime. Many
fond parents OF this vicinity will
bless Mr.. Becker backwards for a
long time to come as result OF his
distribution OF these busy crickets.
But what's the difference, as long
as the good folks OF this section buy
pianos. and that's what Mr. Becker
says they are doing.
The trip 50 lar has greatly eN-
ccedcd my expectations, said Mr..
Becker today The Stars exposi-
ton train idea furnishes wonder

er Washington movement and aid

Mr.. Townsend. vice president of
the National Electrical Supply Com
pany, told me today that although he
had taken only five orders so far
these made up in size what they
lacked in number One OF these
taken today was for a whole carload
OF railway material for the Lynch
burg Traction and Lighting Com
pany. In addition to these orders,
Mr. Townsend has put himself in
touch with prospective customers in
the various towns visited.

Special to territory contiguous tc
Washington. y
Mr.. Eskridge, representing Guy,
Curran & Co., wholesale notions, has
taken eight or ten good-sized orders.
Practically all of this is brand-new
business. Before the start Of the
special from Washington Mr.. Esk-
ridge was inclined to be somewhat
pessimistic. He was pulled off his
regular itinerary, where big orders
and sure money awaited him, to go
with the Greater Washington Spe-
cial, and he didn't like it a little bit

blazing away with both barrels right

Sixteen orders, representing more
than $4,000 in business, have been
secured by Mr. Macintosh, repre-
senting the r. P. Andrews Paper
Company, since the exposition spe-
cial LETT Washington on Thursday
morning. Two of these orders we're
from Manassas, one from Orange,
three from Culpeper, eight from
Charlottesville and two from Lynch
burg. One OF the Charlottesville
orders taken Friday morning was
for a carload of paper for the Niche
Grocery Company OF that city, and
was secured in manner that proves
that if the people OF the section of
the south visited by the special real
lied more fully its business as we'll
as missionary function more actual
on-the-spot orders would be taken
in. For, as matter of fact, the car
load order threw itself at Mr.. Mack
intosh's head.
Mr.. Niche was an early and in
terested visitor at the train. and hap
pened to inquire in a selni-humorous
way whether any travelling man
aboard would forget himself so far
as to take all order on a trip of this
missionary variety. He was soon
enlightened on this point, and turned
in the order for carload OF book
paper, at about 81 400, without more
ado.
