LEWISTON AS
JOBB|NG CENTER
Territory Doubled and Trade
Increased During Last
Four Years

Conditions predicted four years ag
regarding Lewiston as a jobbing cen
ter have been more than verified IN
the experience of that time" said NJ.
A. Means, this morning in commen
ing on the growth in that period.
1T is now four years since l fir u
entered this field as jobber, ard the
card sent out at that time to the trade
gives a list of 5S towns listed as being
benefited by the rates in favor of
Lewiston. l notice an estimate that
there are now SO towns in this terri
tory in the legitimate field Of Lewiston
jobbers.
The field was new then. and manu-
facturers and wholesalers had to be
importuned to make this the distrib-
uting point for their products.
Territory Practically Doubled.
But they were easily shown and
the result in four years has been to
practically double the territory in eX
tent, and we now have 80 commercial
/ travellers making Lewiston their head
quarters while they make the territory
formerly served by Lewiston, much o.
it, in a purely retail way.
at shows the changes that are tax
ing place in this field and the imporf'
ance that Lewiston has in CONNER
cial way. These conditions Will I'M
prove more rapidly as transportatio'
facilities increase, as freight rates vii
then be more and more in favor o
this point and the field for the jobbe
will increase in proportion"

The shooting last night Is generally
the escapade of two weeks ago, when

ed mob and taken to the suburbs Of
Cottonwood and told to get out of rhs
country
At that time Mr.. Goode was in one
of the Cottonwood business houses
/ and received a call by telephone stat
ing that parties desired to see him in
anothr part of the town. AS he was
going from one place to the other he
was seized by three masked men WHO
started for the dark streets.

other masked men. When the suburbs
of the town were reached Good was
given his freedom and told TO take

bers of the mob fired several shots
above Goodies head as he went dowa
the road, bht despite the warning.
Goode returned to his hotel that night
and has since been about the town at

tention of prosecuting persons whom
he believed to have been identified
with the movement to run him out of
. town, and also the Cottonwood par .r
. which he claims published articles

, dered him to leave Cottonwood, and
II is believed the shooting last night
. was perpretrated by some person who
4 was member OF the mob which or
!, dered him to leave the country.

1 days will be awaited with much inter.
Z cts by reidents in all sections OF Camaa
