Boycotted on
Crackers

One day friend of ours told us
that we were going to be cut out on
more articles. That when some Of
these statesmen started down the
street there would be a line Of
complaints offered him all along
the street by different stores
which he entered until he was
scared and cut US out. This could
easily have been done by one store
phoning another ahead of his route.
Well sure enough one morning a.
salesman came into the Basket
Store out of wind and says Il can
not stand it any longer. They have
threatened to cut me out altogeth-
er unless make you raise your
prices" When l told him that we
would not change our prices, he
says, well, 1 may be able to let
you have a wagon load to load you
up, but that will have to be our
last" This, may explain why we
do not sell Loose Wiles crackers.
After reading this don't you be-
lieve that you ought to investigate
the Basket Stores more closely, es-
pecially when you think of buying
crackers.
There have been many small
grccers who would sell things low
er if it We're not for the fact that
they dislike very much to go into
this fight. But fight is fun for the
Basket Stores, especially when It
helps our fellow men.

which you Will kindly sign, if it is
Your intention to maintain the

DO noe sign the letter but return 1t

their products by threatening to
cut out all those who cut the price.
The Grand Jury condemned this.
Here is one of the letters.
Akron, Ohio, Jan. II, 1910.
Messrs. Koepp Brothers.
Elyria, Ohio.
We note from the
Elyria Chronicle of January 14th
that you are advertising Gold Med
al flour in IA barrel sacks at
$1.65. The prevailing retail price
of Gold Medal flour set by the ma
jority of the dealers In Elyria is
s1.90.
AS it is our wish that handlers
Of Gold Medal flour make legiti-
mate profit on these goods, we ask
You kindly to refrain from cutting
prices on Gold Medal. We cannot,
OF course, control your action re-
garding the supply Of Cod Medal
that you have on hand, but beg to
advise that in the future we will
not be able to furnish you with
Gold Medal unless you will be
guided by the spirit of the other
Geld Medal buyers in Elyria and
charge the same retail price for
Gold Medal that they do.
We believe that you will see this
matter in the same light that we
do and will understand our calling
your attention to this act.
Cod Medal -four has too great
selling power behind it to have any
dealer satisfied, to get other than
his legitimate profit from handling
the goods. 1t will be to your ad-
vantage to maintain the price of
y.ur competitors as Gold Medal
flour is a commodity that women
will have regardless af the price.
Thanking you for past favors, we
are

BOYCOTTED ON COFFEE

We received the following letter,
a copy of which we can show you
in full, if you call at the office.
81. R. Burleigh,
Lincoln, Nebr.
Dear Sir: We thank you for your
order of the 18th inst We regret
however, that it will not be poss-
ible for us to ship these goods for
the following reasons: 1t has come
to our attention that our -----
brand of coffee has been sold by
you for less than the regular price,
which is Sc per lb.
In justice to our other dealers
in Lincoln, you can see it is i'm
possible for us to sell you these
goods to be sold at a cut price.
If however, you wish to handle this
brand of coffee and sell it at the
same price others are getting for
it, we will be pleased to fill your or
der.
We will be glad to hear from you
regarding your order, stating that
you will maintain the price, thus
allowing us to ship the goods.
Yours very truly,
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-06-03

We were selling this Csc COT
fee for 29c and making about II
per cent on the investment and
still they told us that we must
raise our price or quit. Well, we
simply quit. We never answered
their letter. When we put their
coffee in on the start, we told them
frankly we were going to sell it
for 29c and this was satisfactory
to them at that time. The agent
lives here in town, and soiicits
the business in person, and made
all the contracts He probably felt
ashamed to call upon us, and so
probably had the company write
us a letter. But what surprises me
about the whole deal is that there
is one man by the name of Abra-
ham Lincoln, who is one of the Of
ficers and big guns of the company.

which paid Mr. Walsh S1,0OO,0O0 a

king said he was making only about
3 per cent on his investments. Mr.
Walsh in an easy, graceful manner
said he was always sure of 10 per cent

ably did not want to paralyze the king
at one sitting and SO put his profits at

Master Stroke of His Ventures.

Master Stroke of His Ventures.
Then came his master stroke in min
ing ventures. Going outside the Lead
vile district to the lofty mountain re-
giOn Of San Juan, where the canyons
are stupendous, the peaks of Alpine
proportions and ayalanches working
havoc with mines every year, he made
the town Of Ouray, nesting in the
heart of the Rockies, his headquarters
for the San Juan district.
Seeing some ores from mines at an
altitude of 10000 feet, he was greatly
impressed with their richness. Ex-
perts warned him that practical min
ing could not be done on the mountain
tops; that already fortunes had been
squandered on similar projects, and,
besides, avalanches, or snoWslides, as
they are called there, would eventually
sweep away houses and machinery
and fill up shafts and mines.
So much snow was then massed over
the old mines that it was a year or
two in melting. Finally he got into
the mines and was shown where the
richest samples came from, but he in
sisted on looking around for himself,
and in discarded portion of a mine
he saw on the neighboring wall eyi-
dences of rich ore which the experts
declared worthless. He was. struck
I with it's peculiar appearance-dark
spots and markings on white rock.
Selecting samples, he had them as
sayed and found bonanza in pros
pect. He bought adjoining properties
and kept his men busy prospecting
and buying until he had a large min
| ing territory absolutely his own.
For years it had been his ambition to
| be the only owner of a group of mines.
| Now he was master of the situa ton.
! He ordered expensive machinery on a
large scale, erected smelters for re
ducing ores and proceeded systematic
| ally to develop his mines Such was

tend his discoveries on the Kongo.
The result was a lot of Belgium colo
MES and investments in that country,
the king having much at stake. It
f. was his mines down there that he was
anxious to have Mr.. Walsh investigate
and develop in good American style.
While Mr.. Walsh did not go there him
self. he entered into a business ar
rangement with the king and sent
trusted experts to size up the mines
and their value So it was that a
European monarch became side part
ner of the Colorado millionaire.
1t may interest men who work to
hear that before he began entertaining
royalty Mr.. Walsh was an apprecia-
tive and generous employer. He built
a big hotel for his miners and superin-
tendents, gave them luxury with first
class meals, good sleeping rooms with
porcelain lined baths and everything
up to date as you would find it in a ho-
tel and not a mining camp. TWAS all
a gift, so to speak, to the miners, cost
ing them no more than at mining
camp boarding house, where the pies
kill at forty rods and the prunes and
coffee would strangle dog.
His Generosity to Waiter.
In 1900 Mr.. Walsh earned some fame
in the east by making travelling CON-
| panion of waiter in the cafe Of the
Fifth Avenue hotel, in New York
city. Mr.. Walsh always stopped
there and always sat at a certain
table. The waiter pleased him, and
one day he told the humble servant
to throw of his apron and dickey and
go with him to Europe. The waiter
obeyed with beWildering alacrity, and
for several weeks he and the wealthy
Mr.. Walsh travelled about Europe, see
ing everything and having the best.

daughter, who was with her father IN
