follows as the night the day, theu canst
not then be false to any man.
Confidence is wealth in that it brings
you customers and they bring you mon
ey. ou go to the bank or jobber and
4 borrow 81 900 on your note, which is
only a piece Of paper Why? Because
/ you have BY your past business relations
proved to them that you are entitled to
their confidence Never abuse this, as
it means everything TO you. 55f
Be man among men and let your
| light so shine in the community where
you live that people know you as a
i friend--not as bear Don't let riches
take the love of man from your heart,
for what doth it profit a man if he
gain, the whole world and lose his own
soul" But in the end we can see but
one way to carry through our ideas of
Legitimate trade. Let each merchant
learn his trade thoroughly and sell the
best goods at reasonable profits, always
bearing in mind that "the recollection
Of quality remains long after the price
is forgotten
Mr.. Full What pity it is that a
paper like that does not get more circu-
lation. I think that every merchant in
the state should have copy Of paper
like that There are a great many fine
/ truths in it. don't like to have the
paper passed over just simply for the
reading. If any one has any remarks
to make we will spare ten minutes for
the discussion; we will give them a
chance to talk Z
Mr.. Fleming of the st. Paul Com
mercial Bulletin was then introduced
and made an interesting address,
which will be published later.
An adjournment was then taken
until afternoon and the convention re-
paired to Maennerchor hall for
lunch.
Afternoon Session.
At the afternoon session William
Mckinney of Valley City, was the
first. speaker. His remarks will be

Informal discussion then followed,
after which the delegates were taken
to the penitentiary to inspect that
institution and the twine plant. They
were shown every courtesy by
Warden Boucher and his deputies and
the delegates returned to the city
greatly impressed with the manage
ment of this great Institution.

held in Patterson's hall under the
auspices Of the Bismarck Commercial
club. The hall was filled by the dele

with their presence. The Commercial
club band enlivened the occasion
with some choice selections and Vice
President Andrew Miller of. the Com
mercial club presided at the meeting.
Attorney General McCue was the
first speaker. He paid considerable
/ attention to the failure Of merchants
to keep abreast Of the times in the
matter Of advertising and among
other things said the time was past
when the corner store would get the
trade of the people as a matter Of
course whether it advertised or not,
for the catalogue house, which be-
lieved in advertising would reach out
and get the trade in the course Of
time. His remarks were well re
ceiVed. ssg9 All
After another selection by the band
Governor John Burke was introduced
/ and made a fine address, which time
forbids publishing today. It will be in
tomorrow's Tribune. s

will be given in a later. issue Of the
Tribune. s

some food, paints and drugs from the
