Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-05-30

To illustrate. There is little city in
the central part of Wisconsin, beau
tiful little place, with it's shady streets
and pleasant homes. 1t has several
general stores owned by live, wide
awake merchants, who are hustling for
business, yet are always pleasant and
ready to visit with a customer. They
are not put out at any time to show
goods, taking down bolt after bolt of
cloth and maybe then not making even
a five-cent sale. They take that as
part of their business; they are always
willing to send post-haste to the city
for any article they may not have in
stock that is wanted by customer;
their stocks are up-to-date and free
from shelf-worn goods. These men
make the humblest customers feel well
tention is paid to waiting on children,
giving them even better measure and
quality than their elders would re-
ceive. And these men are advertisers.
Their ads in the local papers are
changed regularly and show time and
study. They meet the mail order man
more than half way in special sales
and clearing of odds and ends. Here
is an instance where there is no legi-
innate excuse for a person sending
away after goods. And the people do
not. Very few articles of general mer
chandise are shipped into that city.
The buyer and seller are working in
harmony to their own betterment and
advantage.
But look at the other side. The city
which we have in mind has one hard
ware and one furniture store. Both
have fairly good stocks for the size of
their circle of trade, but just step into
either one of these stores. The pro-
prietor may be in the back room or the
back yard for all you know, but by and
by some stir Is heard and leisurely he
makes his ppearance-neither store
has need of clerk-and probably with
some grumbles about being disturbed,
asks what Is wanted There might as
well be placards in the store announc-
ing Buy what I've got and keep still"
and I'VE are busy, don't disturb u.s."
No effort is made to show you an arti-
Gle; nothing is ever taken down from
the shelves unless directly asked for
Neither hardware nor furniture man
acts willing to get what you want if he
does not have it in stock. And again
neither one of these stores believe in
advertising. They use no space in
their home papers; newcomer would
never know the city possessed such
places of business enterprise. Who
ever heard of a country hardware or
furniture store having special sale,

kAIsER's PHoNoeRAPH CLOCK.

Berlin.-It is not generally known
the kaiser possesses the most unique
clock In the world, so-called phono-
graph clock made by German in

When the kaiser, for example, wishes
to be at the chancellor's house at ten
o'clock in the morning, he speaks into
the photograph the night before,
which moves pointer and Is called at
the hour indicated. The photograph
graciously announces: Your majesty,

over, when the kaiser is at breakfast
the clock tells him a dozen or more
things which he spoke into the phono-
graph the night before so as not to
forget them.

Turn Out "Antique" Oak.

"You will have to go a long way"
said an art collector the other day,
before you find a body Of men more
clever than those cabinet makers who
produce goods to satisfy the desire of
the public for furniture made Of old
and fancy woods. They can transform
wildwood into all kinds Of exotic
woods by means Of chemicals, and a
chemist would be surprised if he were
to have the run of one of those fac
tories for day.
1.-THE manufacture Of antique oak Is
one Of the easiest of their processes.
The boards, holdings, panels or what
ever pieces are required are made Of
oak which has just bad time to dry
sufficient to prevent excessive warping.
''They are then placed in dark
room, on the floor of which and quite
close to the furniture to be aged are
placed several bowls, plates and so
forth Of liquid ammonia. The room Is
wood is left for a month or so, accord.
ing to the age which is required. The
coloration will extend to a depth Of
nearly quarter of an inch If the roon
is kept closed for a few months.
THAT is why there is so much old
oak furniture about. OF course, a lit
tie reflection would show that it could
not be genuine-the forests of the
middle ages would not have furnished
one-half of it-but people do not al
ways reflect" Sun.

RATE WAR MAY BE AvERTED.
Herr BALM Says Negotiations with Cunard
Line Continue.

Cologne, March 2O.-A correspondent OF the
Cologne Gazette" has had an interview with
Herr Balm, director general of the Hamburg
American Steamship Line. and has been au-
thorized to say that in the interview obtained
in London last Sunday. In which Herr Ballin
was reported to have said there was every like
lihood Of a renewal Of the rate war for the
North Atlantic trade with the Cunard Line.
Herr Balm was incorrectly reported. The di-
rector general repeated 10 the correspondent of
the Gazette that the negotiations with the
Cunard Line were still incomplete. adding that
the next fortnight would bring a decision in
the matter. He denied, however. having said
that a tariff war with the Cunard Line was
probable. The correspondent adds that Herr
BALM has adopted a waiting policy and that he
is neither confident of satisfactory settlement
nor pessimistic.
Continuing, the correspondent says he has
learned from another quarter that there is no
reason 10 assume that North Atlantic rate
war Is about to break cut.
