AN ARCHITECT IN EVERY BUsl

The professions are so crowded that
the successful men and women must

nave their value, sometimes sectarian-
ism plays a part, but above all these,
towering like colossus, is artistic
ability, real genius-brains and Skill
Oneness OF purpose, ii you please. The
old adage OF two many irons in the
fire-some will burn up, is as true to-
day as when first promulgated. The
man who works in iron does well. Iron
is a metal, and so is gold; but people
who want artistic jewellery never go to
the blacksmlth's. They do not employ
the services of the man who can do
both. They want an artist The
architect is the man who builds the
house before the lumber is fashioned
or the stone cut. In every business
there is that same architect and he de-
termlnes what is to be. The vast ma
Jority of the Funeral Directors in
this country depend upon the factorys
al chltect to design their caskets and
the consumer pays for the service; not
so with MIR. Johnson. He devotes his
time and talent to designs and draw
ings from which are made those beau
titul caskets which are daily admired
by the great number OF people who
visit his place. He is not The butch
er, the baker, the candlestick maker"
dividing his brains and talent in
things fraternal, ecclesiastical, specu-
latiVe and adventurous, which promise
pecuniary profit; but the one thing he
mas pledged to do and without doubt is
doing conducting the most satisfac-
tory undertaking business in the coun-
try.
Instead of showing pictures from
the catalogue, Mr.. Johnson has it
customers call at his show rooms, and
there are numerous caskets of his own
creation, made from his drawings, in
white, purple, lavender, cream, ashes
Of loses, ebony, steel grey colors, with
a dozen grades of sXture in shrine,
couch, dropside, and all styles known
to the profession. The people see not
only the particular casket, but have a
choice in the Innings, handles, trim
mings, etc, and, as a result, the peo-
pie are all satisfied and the SORROWS
are largely alleviated because of the
nand OF an experienced and skilled ar
list.
Lovers Of the beautiful will find Mr.
Johnsons work much to admire, even
in the paraphernalia of death. Such is
the universal testimony of visitors to

In such a way as to give all members the

between not only our members, but the
whole world of our patronage.
In fact the development of the exchange

@. r. watkins Talks.
Speaking on the subject Of THE Live
3hgN0 AAeAA aAe 1AA3 - AlS1 "a
the Business World" c. F. Watkins OF
Buffalo, N. Y, took up the same thread
OF argument which was used yesterday by
Edgar E. Overstreet of st. Louis and by
J. c, Swift of Kansas City. One Of Mr..
Watkins first statements were: That
the matter OF exchange organization is UNI
selfish and has not been for the aggrandize-
ment of the commission man: that it is in
the interests of the producer and the ship
per as well as of himself. and that in Il
the commission man has been honest and
honorable, is evidenced by the fact that
he has built up and now ndu an
enormous business without ever havine
made any attempt at or shown any dispose.
ton toward monopoly"
Free and Open to All.
Continuing Mr.. Watkins said In part:
The marts OF the live stock trade are
now, after many years of the devotion.
Fment of organization. as free and open tC
the new beginner In the business, or 10 the
small dealer, as are the opportunities fol
starting a cobbler's shop in any town OF
city. And. likewise, the small producer, the
farmer raising but a few head Of cattle
hogs or sheep, is now enabled to market
his product as readily and safely, and witt
the positive assurance OF receiving its full
value, at as low a propoFtionate expense
' as can the big dealer or the ranchman who
