LIED LINES FOUND BY EU-
GENE ANDERSON IN N. Y.

Eugene Anderson, Of the well known
! firm of McKennon, Anderson & Fos-
ter, has returned from New York City
where he made his second fall trip to
purchase goods for the firm. Mr.. An
derson reports business conditions In
both the wholesale and retail dry
goods and allied lines as beingsfar
from satisfactory in New York City.
1T is this way" said Mr.. Anderson
to a representative of The Herald,
the weather during the fall months,
when the demand is heaviest and
trade is briskest in. these lines, was
exceptionally warm. People as gem
eral proposition do not buy until it IL
necessary. They did not need the
fall and winter fabrics and they did
not buy.
Il found the retailers as well as the
wholesalers In New ork complaining.
The wholesalers were oYerstocked az
they have notesbeen In years and bar
gains were numerous. The result was
that I purchased heavily for our firm
and at prices that will enable US to
give our customers some of the best
bargains that they have ever been
offered on this market This is all
the latest and most up-to-date stock,
but for the reasons stated the whole
'alers preferred to sell at loss rath-
81 than carry 1t over.
Politics? Well, yes, they we're talk
ng politics in New York. l got there
he day after the election and every
me seemed to be Democrat. They
we're all tickled to death over the re-
