|-1A man may be an idcalist and
never write poem, or pant q

TO create the right kind Of store.
rThere is more to it tFan catching
the nimble dollar. We have an
ideal OF what store ought to be.
Honesty yokcd to Energy.
They are the twin elements OF
success.
This is an old store-not old in
the sense of its structure, because
it is certainly beautiful, well
arranged establishment, But its
beginning dates back many years,
and it has a honorable past. To
the great shopping community OF
Richmond it il as staunch as an
old friend, as intimate rs an old
/ book, as comfortable rs an old
coat or garment. 1t Is Homclike.
We have been dry goodsing a
long, long time. We have made
money out Of it. We would not |
be in business or happy il we did
not. To just drag along, managing
only to pay expenses. would be
intolerable. We would rather quit
than not be busy. We leave moth
ing to luck or chance. Intelligence
never does. The core Of the store
is sound, therefore we have reason
to be proud of its success.
To those who as yet do not know
us, because this great city is rapidly
forging ahead, and many new
families are constantly adding to
its population, let us say: That
our mission is to make you familiar
with our fidelity of traahfutness in

constantly improve.
The effect OF wrong in business
like this is a jar, friction. 1t arms

the confidence OF customers. It
tries our souls. Wrongs and mis-
takes are comlnitted--ana will

whenever the machinery OF the
store is subjected to conclusion by
a cog slipping out of its mate, we
absorb the shock by standing the
loss.

Boston Dairy Co. are still doing bust
ness and will probably pay for the milk
they receive as they have for the past
Ia years. The McDermott Dairy Co.
of New York is now operating the
station here where the Purity Milk e.
Cream Co. were doing business, and
they have the reputation of paying
their bills. This Purity Co. is a small
concern, this was the only station they
operated, and if the patrons had taken
the trouble to see that they complied
with the law as found in Chapter 2l1 of
the Public Statutes requiring them to
file bond of indemnity with the Secre-
tary of State, there would have been no
trouble. The writer is small creditor,
but is indirectly a good deal interested
and takes his full share of blame for
such neglect.

Editor Register:
AS some erroneous and misleading
statements have been circulated regard
ing the milk situation here, perhaps a
statement of facts would be in order
The Purity Milk & Cream Co. of White
Plains, N. Y, who have been operating
the station at Salisbury owned by the
Produce Despatch, a corporations that
also owns the stations at Middebury
and New Haven junction and perhaps
others, has not paid for the milk re-
ceived by them during November and
December. After waiting two weeks
for the pay for November milk, which
was due December 18th, the patrons
stopped delivering milk and the business
of the milk company at this end natu-
rally languished. The patrons through
their attorney and agents are negotia-
ting a settlement and at this writing it
looks as if they might receive their pay
in full. The company has oyer $1,000
of assets as ascertained by investiga-
ton, and their liabilities are 81, 400,
owing the farmers for milk, and about
$500 for labor and supplies. Their
assets will probably shrink some if they
are forced to liquidate, and their liabil-
tiles with expenses and attorney fees
will increase correspondingly. An item
in your last issue in Salisbury news
would create the impression that all the
milk companies that run Gears" were
guilty. OF course that is not so. The

We had thought the movement
engineered by the state board of health
to have outside doors on public build
ings swing outward and to have salts
factory fire-escapes placed on the higher
buildings was carried out to completion
on the structures already built and that
the precaution was insisted on when new
structures were erected. But we note
that several property owners in the
town of Enosburg have just been warned
that the regulations must be lived up
to, which is an indication that the work
is still uncompleted. Such being the
case, the state board of health should
take immediate steps to force adherence
to the regulations, in Enosburg or many
other town or city in the state, where
property owners are delaying. The
weather conditions of the last few weeks
have been sufficient to serve as warn
ing of what might happen in certain
contingencies. Vermont cannot allow
her reputation for carefulness in this
respect to be blotted by some miserable
catastrophe to human life. Barre

Worlds Consumption of Bunker
Coal

The suggestion that the opening of
the Panama Canal may render feasible
the establishment of great American
station for supplying coal from the
mines of the United States to vessels of
the world lends interest to an estimate
prepared by the Bureau of Statistics,
Department of Commerce and Labor,
of the coal consumption on the oceans
of the world. The statement estimates
the coal consumed on the oceans of the
world at approximately rs million tons
per annum, valued at over $50 million
dollars.
An exact statement of the quantity
of coal consumed by the merchant ma
rine and navies of the world cannot be
made, owing to the fact that compare
lively few countries state in separate
terms the quantity of coal supplied to
vessels for their own use, or for ''bun-
kering" purposes. The United States
statistics show about nine million long
tons supplied to vessels at ocean ports
to be placed in their bunkers for their
own use, and the British reports show
about 20 million long tons supplied to
vessels in the foreign trade and 21a
million tons to vessels in the coastwise
trade This would make for the two
great coal producing countries of the
world-the United States and the
United Kingdom - a total of over 80
millions tons supplied directly to vessels

Reunion Vermont Association.

The Vermont association of Minnesota |
held its 22nd annual banquet and reunion
on the evening of January 10th, at
Hotel bennington, with $50 members in
attendance. 1t was one of the most en-
joyable gatherings the association has
ever had. Every one was on the intro
duction committee and did honor to the
traditions of the old Green Mountain
State as to hospitality.
Charles M. Drew, former Danville
boy as president, did much to keep the
merriment at a high pitch. He was
ably assisted by DR.. John c. Crowley,
president, formerly from Island
Pond, John B. Gilfillan, formerly from
Barnet, and DIR. Andrew Gillies, at one
time resident and pastor at Mont
pelier; also Rome G. Brown from Mont
pelier and DIR. F. R. Woodward.
The banquet room of the elegant new
Hotel bennington was most BEAUTIFULLY
decorated by Mrs. Gilfllan with flowers
given by Cavour Langdon in honor of
his father and mother. During the
banquet an orchestra furnished appro-
pirate music.
In the past year, the association lost
one of it's oldest and most respected
members, Mrs. r. B. Langdon. Mr..
Langdon passed away in 1895. Mr.. and
Mrs. Langdon came to Minneapolis in
the early days from Addison county.
They were always interested in the
welfare of this association and were
prominent in the upbuilding of the State
of Minnesota and city of Minneapolis.
The Vermont association was formed
in Minneapolis March 18th, 1890, with
the following men as officers: General
l.. A. Grant, president; Hon. R. B.
Langdon, first vice-presdent; Hon. R.
C. Benton, second vice president; Cap
tain John Martin, third vice-president;
A. l.. Belknap, secretary; Hon. H. c.
Belden, treasurer Executive com
mittee: P. d. Mcmillan. C. M
Douglas, Frank Morse and E. j. Daven-
port. 1t has had a continuous exist
ence and, in fact, the Vermont associa-
ton is the only one of it's kind in Mime
sofa which has been successful in keep
ing together and holding an annual re-
union since its organization.
In the development of Minnesota,
first as territory, then as state, one
finds Vermont men and women with the
Vermont spirit of old Ethan Allen,
ever ready and doing their part in the
upbuilding of grand state, an empire
in itself, larger than all of New England.
Thus Vermonters have helped to lay the
foundation of what must some time be
one of the richest, if not the richest,
State in the Union.
General L. A. Grant, a hale and
hearty man of 81 years. who attended
this banquet and whom Vermonters
honored by an invitation to Montpelier
a few years ago, Hon. R. B. Langdon,
Hon. R. C. Benton, Hon. C. S. Stuart,
Hon. Thomas Buckham, Hon. Hiram F.
Stevens, Hon. M. D. Grover, H. C.
Akeley, J. B. Gilfillan and many others,
are the men who have done things and
of whom Vermont and Vermonters may
well be proud. AS long as the spirit OF
these men prevails in the Vermont
association, its growth and success are
assured.
