WHOLESALE GROCERS,
102-1O4 West Michigan st.
Zenith Phone 1915.

It is one Of our Fundamental prin-
ciples to foster and encourage to the
fullest extent possible those concerns
which are fair and honorable in all
their transactions and contribute to
the prosperity OF our city and its
people.
This enterprising and progressive
company carries most complete and
desirable line Of groceries, which are
sold at wholesale and the firm makes
a speciality of supplying restaurants.
boarding houses, hotels, camps and
consumers.
They have everything in the way
of groceries, provisions, teas, coffees,
spices and all the other commodities
which make up a complete stock Of
the kind are to be found in the store,
and everything is offered, for sale at
a, fair price, and with the guarantee
the name of the house gives as to the
excellence Of it's quality and condition.
The efforts of this firm have been
waged along the line Of high-class
goods at reasonable prices and it has
worked hand in hand with the pure
food commissioners In the several
states in which the goods are sold for
the improvement of all food products.
It has built up a large trade on i'm
ported delicacies, which have hereto
fore been procurable only in New
York and other sea ports.
BY adhering to strict business meth
DDS the Barthe-Martin company has
built up an enormous trade through
out this section of the country.

haul and; the elimination of one
handling has created great and ever
increasing demand for this brand.
The home of the Kelley-How-
Shomson company is in a fine seven
story modern equipped building, in
which there Is every evidence of well
balanced and SIN oothly working sys'
tenn for the proper housing, care and
handling Of the stock, In office, fac
tory, warehouse and shipping rooms
everything moves along with clock
like precision and dispatch. Add to
these facts and conditions already al
luded to a liberal, wise and efficient
management, and the reasons 70,
the remarkable success and phenom-
email growth Of the Kelley-How.
Thomson company are manifest.
The trade of the house is extended
into all the territory ebtween and in
Guiding upper Michigan and Montana
and this country is we'll covered by
a large force of travelling men.
The directors of the company are:

possible manner. At the annual meet
ing Of the stockholders in July, 1905,
it was evident from the growth in the
volume of business that a further
increase In capital was advisable and
it was voted to increase the capital
stock to 100000. In the two years
following the business expanded to
such an extent and the prospects for
its further growth were so great that
the working capital was once more
doubled, the last increase being made
last year.
The high reputation of the house
is built upon a solid foundation in
the splendid line of hardware it
places on the market under the
'Hickory" brand. The trade has
learned that any article with the
Hickory" stamp on it is dependable
in every way, as the greatest care
is exercised in applying this brand
only to products that would stand up
under any test to which they might
be subjected. This fact, in connec-
ton with the reduced prices that can
be made by reason of the lowest
freight rates on account of the lake

KELlEY-HOW THOMSON
Wholesale HARDWARE
Company That Occupies Prominent
Position in the Wholesale
Commercial World.

The growth Of this company has
been phenomenal. The fact that it
is doiig business today on capital
more than forty times as large as it
started with some thirteen years ago.
Is certainly most significant, and tells
a story Of progress and development
most treditable to the men in charge
Of the firms activities. It tells a
story Of growth and development so
rapid as almost to challenge belief.
TO build up such an immense busi-
ness In such a short time and to
hew out for itself such prominent
niche in the realm of commercial
activity is making history with a ven-
geance. No house in its line can show
such proportionate gains as have
been made by the Kelley-HowThom-
son company. 1t has been able to

,ditions that were difficult enough.
The fame of the Mesaba Range as a
producer Of iron is nation wide, and
probably no one man in Duluth has
done more to bring about this happy
condition Of affairs than Albert F.
Gross. In the early days Of the range
he was instant in season and
out Of season in contending
often against the judgment of
experts, that the time would come
when the Mesaba Range would equal
If it did not excel the Vermilion
Range both in quality and quantity
of iron ore produced. Men who are
yet young men will we'll remember the
time, for it it only in the neighbor-
hood of twenty years ago and less.
Mr.. Gross, the subject Of this article,
is a young man yet, but his industry
trugality and tenacity of purpose have
: brought their own reward. His faith
in the Mesaba Ranges never wavered,
and by dint of good business acu-
men he is today possessed of a COM
potency that enables him to rank with
our most successful business men,
and this too not by specu(ating in
stocks, or promoting schemes of ques-
ttcnable propriety, but by actual hard
and persistent effort in opening up
the possibilities Of the north coun-
try. The knapsack and the tent were
his chief instrumentalities, and these
were fortified by will and deter
mination that never recognized de-
feat. Mr. Gross has offices at $50
Manhattan building, and his home is
at 5808 London Road. The Labor
World takes great pleasure in con-
tributing a good word to the name
and fame of so honored and useful
! a citizen as Albert r. Gross.

DULUTH EDISON
ELECTRIC COMPANY
216 West First Street

It isn't all raking in the peoples
money with a public service concern
like the Duluth Edison Electric COM
pany, which supplies the electric
lighting for the city, both, for public
and private purposes.
Before any returns can be expected
large outlays are necessary and large
sums are spent every year in work
from which no returns can be ex-
pected for years to come. It Is diff
ferent with the water and gas busi-
nesses, which are owned by the city.
No extensions are made by the water
and light department of the city un-
less an income of per cent on the
cost of the extensions Is guaranteed
by the property owners, and this with
out regard to whether or not the
owners. of the property use any water
or gas. There have been cases re-
Gently where property y-owners have
been forced to provide themselves
the full cost of extensions, the city
being out of money available for that
purpose. In some such cases the pro-
performers have been told they will
get their money back when the ex-
tensions are earning enough to pay
their cost. In others the property
owners expect to get their money back
when bonds are issued by the city to
provide the money necessary to take
care of needed extensions.
1t Is different, very different. with
private concern like the electric
light company. 1t cannot ask the
property owners to guarantee the m
an income. 1t must make it's exten-
s1ons as they are needed, and de-
pend upon the growth Of the section
into which the extensions go to pro-
vide return on the investment. OF.
ten this means wait of years; yet
the investment must be made regard
less of that. ,Gt5'h- ~.
The effect of this is to bring cheap
lights to the homes of the working
The labor world., 1910-12-31

men who live in the outlying dis
tricts where such extensions are made,
and the electric light wires come to
them without any guarantee or pay
ment except for the light they use.
In almost every city in the coun-
try the electric lighting companies
have minimum charge each month,
usually of one dollar. In other words,
If you have the electric wires in your
house you must pay at least a dollar
a month, no matter how little light
you use. II you are away for a.
month or two and your house closed
up, you must pay your dollar a
month just the same.
In Duluth there is no such minimum
charge, and each consumer, be he
rich or poor, pays only for the elec-
trio current he uses. This is a great
convenience and economy for the
smaller users Of electric lights, many
of whose bills the year around, aver
age less than a dollar.
It is interesting to note, too. that
Duluth's city lighting, furnished. by
this company, costs less than that
almost of any other city in the coun-
try.
The Herald has been running a
series of editorials on the commission
form of city government, showing
what has been accomplished in other
cities through the adoption of that
plan.'
Among other things it was shown
in Des Moines the rate for street
electric lights was cut down by the
commission from So and $95 to a
flat rate of $50 per arc lamp per
year. and that in Houston, Tex. the
commission cut the rate from $50 to
$40.
These are achievements, right
right enough. But in Duluth, with
out any commission government, and
merely by a business-li like arrange
ment between the city and the cleo
trio lighting company, street lights
cost less than $50 per arc lamp per
year.
The rates in Duluth for commercial
and residence lighting are lower than
they are in any other city in the
United States of the same size or
larger.

G. A. KN1PPENBERG,
300-3o1 ALWORTH BLDG

We have not always been able to
agree with certain of the policies
pursued by our real estate men, but
fairness constrains US to say that
many of them are deserving of: hon.
orable mention as contributors to the
development of the growth and pro.
gress of Duluth.
One of the representative and re-
liab1y enterprising men in this line
is c.. A. Knippenberg with Offices at
300-S01 Alworth building. He enjoys
high reputation TO rintegrity and
honorable dealing in the handling of
real estate, loans, insurance, rentals
and investments.
BY reference to another column it
will be seen that he has now a
specially good proposition in Bayfield,
county, Wis, fruit lands.
In point of soil, climate and pro-
ductiveness these fruit lands are
classed by experts to be Identical with
the Niagara lands, and Mr.. Knippen-
berg is selling them at very reason
able prices for such high grade lands,
and on such terms as bring them
within the reach Of the man of lim-
tied means.
We have it on absolutely reliable
authority that the soil of these lands
is among the best in the state Of
Wisconsin, and that during dry sea-
sons its richness enables it to hold
moisture better than any other.
One distinguishing characteristic
of the bayfield, peninsula tract is that
late spring and early fall frosts are
wholly unknown here. This is 1T
trihuted to the proximity Of Lake Sn-
perior, the largest body of fresh
water on the globe, and which never
freezes over. The influence of the
lake combined with the favorable
land elevation of the tract ensures the
full ripening Of the latest fruits, vege-
|. tables and crops long before any
signs Of frost appear.
1t will be seen by reference to. gov
ernment reports that the Bayfield,
peninsula actually has longer grow
ing season than Sioux City, Iowa. and
it is a fact cattle can be pastured on
green grass more months in the year
o nthe Bayfield, peninsula than in
either Iowa or Illinois.
From the stand point of health
Bayfield, is not excelled in the United
States. The elevation above sea level
is about 800 feet. The air being
tempered by Lake Superior is neither
too dry nor too moist. but q happy
medium between both extremes.
It would be manifestly impraetic-
able t. do justice to the district in a
briee newspaper article. We can only
say that the individual who is look
ing for favorable opportunity to
enter upon any of the following pur-
suits cannot possibly do better than
by casting his lot on the Bayfield, PEN
insula. All manner of fruit raising,
more especially apples, cherries and
plums, truck gardening, poultry rails
ing, strawberry cultue or even gen.
eral flaming.
The proposition offered by Mr.. Kip
penberg cannot help but appeal
strongly to any man or woman who
wishes to live and have their children
grow up under such favorable conli.
tions as the clean, pleasant and
wholesome atmosphere as a residence
on the Bayfield, peninsula ensures.

Bl.lHOP FOLEY APPROVES.
Recent Changes in Ecclesiastical Law
Beneficial, He Says.

Bishop John :. Foley has been ad'
vised OF changes recently promulgat-
ed by Pope Plus Y in regard TO the
ecclesiastical law OF the Roman Cath
Ollie church. The advices. however.
are not official and the new orders
will not 20 INTO effect here until the
bishop is notified OF them by Tie
head of the church. This notice. he
told The Times. Wednesday after
noon. is expected next week.
Among the changes is a decree TO
administer holy communion 10 emil
dren at the age OF reason. which is
seven years. and sometimes six.
Heretofore tine Roman Catholic
church has not allowed children in
English.speaking countries TO take
their first communion until they were
10 or II years of age. Now accord
ing 10 the new rule, the clergy the
world over will be obliged 10 PIE
pare children for the sacrament at
the earlier age.
Another important feature of the
changes is the decree of maXirHa
| cura." decided OH by the consistorial
| congregation at Rome. which takes
from the bishop or archbishop OF a
diocese or archdiocese the power ia
remove pastor Hereafter the
mower of removal will rest with the
de amotione parochi," which con.
sists OF six priests besides the arch
bishop.
Bishop Foley said that he thought
| the changes were move in the right
| direction. and that they would work
| out 10 the advancement OF the
| church
