LETTER TO E. e. RICH,
MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT.

Dear Sir How did you get your bust
ness? we'll tell you how we got ours.
You sell shoes, we make paint; perhaps
we can do a good turn to ourselves, you
and we, by swapping experiences.
We began 152 years ago in little shop
a few-minutes walk from where we are
now great many things have hap
pened, we don't remember them all
We made as good paint as we could and
learned to make better. We are the
oldest now we don't know whether we
had any teacher or not it's so long ago
if we had, he's gone and forgotten We
should have been forgotten, if we hadn't
made good paint and friends.
You buy your shoes, you have an ad-
vantage in that; if you make a mistake,
you can stop it quick if you make hit,
you can push it quick. We've had to go
slow it's hard to pick-out ones own
mistakes, and nothing but fun to correct
the mistakes of others
You know where to go for leather that
keeps its shape, feels good looks new, and
wears long time. What a comfort it
is to be comfortable from making ones
customers comfortable
We also have a unique advantage
unique, you KNOW, means tnat NOBODY
else has anything like it. We make a
strong paint that takes less gallons, saves
half the cost of painting your house,
and it's like that leather of yours for
wear. 1t is all paint and the strongest
of paint. Paint is usually adulterated
and weak.
We're very old, but we make young
paint one gallon is better than two, if
1T has the stuff in it.
Yours truly

Rear Admiral Fighting Bob" Evans
were found to be in the way. Dis
patches from the metropolis say that
the supervisor of the harbor of New
York called on Admiral Evans and
served a formal notice on him that
the ships were taking up too much
room in the river, and were seriously
interfering with navigation. While 1t
was admitted on the United States
vessels that they were well out in the
usual channel taken by steamers, they
could not anchor further inshore ON
account Of the shallowness of the
water.
There is probably no place in the
world where the great white and buff
ships of the American navy show off
to better advantage than in the North
River. The dozen warriors strung a.
long at anchor at intervals of about
400 yards stretching from the foot of
Riverside Drive at 72nd Street to

burg had his British armored flyers in
the New York port they were given
berths in the North River and only
few weeks ago the Paul Jones French
fleet was in the stream. The New
York people could not be inhospitable
to these fleets on account of the inter-
national aspects of things, but when
the American ships arrived, waiting
their turn to go to the repair docks,
they were ordered to move away and
give the tug boats and scows engaged
in the Hudson River trade chance to
pass.
During the short stay of the fleet in
New York the battleship Illinois in
dragging at anchor suddenly ripped

cross the bed of the river. This line
it seems was not ch&rted and no one
in authority seemed to know just how
or when it got there, but nevertheless
the Standard Oil Company had been
pumping thousands of gallons into
New York City through it every day
for years. When the Illinois fouled the
pipe line the officers on board the ship
could not imagine what the anchor
had taken hold of until the surface of
the river became a shining mass,
bright with the hues of petroleum.
Before the pipe line could be repaired

At Stonyhurst, and also at Field

obtained his diploma, five years later.
