Sam stands for these things
lf1guratively, while the travelling man
stands for all of these things actually
and potentially. He goes forth every
where proclaiming and exploiting the
/ best we have and ar>. If our city man
ufactures goods he is the one who
| tells OF the skill of our hands and OF
the excellence of our handiwork. He
advertises the riches of our soil and
the wealth of our mines and forests.
| He is never a knocker because he
knows that running down the other
! fellows goods never finds a customer
for his own So he has a good word
for all. He is everywhere from the
southeast point of Florida to the Brit
ish line, from Cape Cod to the Golden
Gate Nor is he confined here; he is
beyond the seas battling for Americas
industrial and commercial supremacy.
He goes where our armies and battle
ships may not 20 because his are the
conquests of commerce and peace.
The true course Of the republic is
along the paths of peace and hence il
lis our large army of travelling men
who arc leading us. carrying comfort
and plenty to those who need, mes
sages of good will to men.
The Youth and Veteran.
1--WE owe to the travelling mar q
larger debt than we often have occa
sion to realize. His path is not always
strewn with roses. Beneath his sunny
smile and happy exterior often tha"o
is load of care or of sorrow. He
must leave behind the solace of home
where is often needed the constant
presence of 2 father and to which his
heart often turns during his journtH,
ings in anxious fear and dread. | ha E.
seen Santa Claus gotten up as tr;v-
cling man. Recently my attention
was called to calendar with a pictuI,
representing the new year in the i'm
age of boyish faced travelling man.
The scene was at the desk of hotel.
Old Father Time was the hotel clerk.
The new year with joyful face was at |
the desk writing his name, while just |
outside over in the shadows stood but |
dimly revealed the departing guest,
the old year. 1t was a pathetic fig
ure, that of travelling man, bent with |
age, worn out with a life spent on the
road. His scanty garb suggested a |
thing often too true, that this old man !
was leaving the road poor. And now,
as he is quitting the road, turning over
his job to younger man, the thought
is forced home, what is to become of
this veteran knight of the grip? All
successful men on the road make mon
ey for the house but they by no means
all save for themselves. But recent
years are bringing fuller recognition
Of the vast services rendered the coun-
try by the travelling man and with
that recognition has come better pay
and better conditions May they all
live so prudently and wisely that
when they come to turn over the grip
to the youngster, they may go to
homes of comfort and plenty, to enjoy
we'll earned and lasting rest
