1t is the wish of the committee In
be given at the Pilgrim hotel, Saturday
evening, Dec. 26, that as many travel
ing men and their wives as possible,
should be present at this the opening
party for the winter. Every effort is be-
ing put forth to make this party q
hummer. and remember this is a strict
~ travelling mems party.
A. G. Snyder, of our city. salesman
for the Mclaughlin Coffee company, of
Chicago, who met with an accident one
week ago, was able TO start out again
today.
p. c. Jones, of Toledo, Ia, for over
fourteen years salesman for the Detroit
Stove works, but for the past three
years in the hardware business at To-
ledo, has again decided to take up road
work and will on Jan. 1 start out for
the Green Foundry and Furnace COM
pany of Des Moines. His territory will
be part of Iowa and Minnesota. p. G.
was always considered one of the lead
ing stove statesmen when he was a
traveller, and we hope for the same good
success in his again taking to the road
work.
Mr.. j. A. Streed. salesman for Tone
Of MnnaS
with home in Marshalltown. will re-
tire from the road jan l. and move
his family to a ranch in Montana. We
all wish Brother Streed good luck in
his new undertaking.
D. j. Bullock, an old Marshalltown
boy, for the past five years sales
man for Brown & Hurley, wholesale
hardware of Des Moines, retired from
the road Dec. 1, and moved his family
from Iowa Falls to Ames, where he has
purchased a hardware store. A. B.
Twining, of Eagle Grove, has taken the
territory for Brown & Hurley covered
by Mr.. Bullock.
Ed d. Sherman, salesman for Smith
& Henry wholesale furniture dealers
of Des Moines, had his grip stolen from
I the waiting room in the c.. & N. w. de-
pot at Wall Lake last week. 1t was
later found along the side of the tracks
all cut to pieces. Travelling men should
be careful about leaving grips around
when their is so much travelling as
there Is at the present time.
It always pays a young man or even
an older one, it makes no difference
for whom he works, to be obliging and
pleasant to whoever he may come in
contact with-to treat everyone as he
would like to be treated. I could not
der by observation last week in the
promotion of P. d. Hall, agent for the
C. & N, w. at West Side, Ia. Mr..
Hall is apparently a young man, but
one who has earned his promotion thru
his good work and courteous treat
ment to the public. 1t was like a fun
eral in the city when it became known
that Mr. Hall was to leave at once
for Dewitt. He is an old Marshall
county boy having worked in his
younger days as telegraph operator at
State Center, where he was then
known as one of the most obliging
operators on the system.

roasters, of Des ZMoines. but for the

what he is going to do,
It Is reported on good authority that
the train on the Chicago Great Wes-
tern that runs from Des Moines to
Marshalltown, will, after Jan. 1, run to
Oelwein. The change will be great
accommodation to the travelling pub
| tic.
