Gave Banquet to the Merchants Of St
JOhnsbury at The Avenue House.
Some Good Speaking.

The Salespeople's club made their
first public appearance on Thursday
evening when they entertained the
merchants at a banquet at the
Avenue House. In all there were
about 80 present and the event was
a happy one for both entertainers
and entertained. Soon after S7.30
the company sat down at IL tables,
all prettily decorated with punches
of carnations and were served a ten
course banquet which was appetiz-
ing and well served. All through
the banquet MONEYS orchestra Of
five pieces furnished music of the
sort which makes conversation live
". The merchants year ago grant
ed several important privileges to
their employees, among them the
closing their stores on a fourth
night a week and agreeing to close
on all holidays. At that time a
banquet was given and as result
of the gathering the Salespeople's
club was organized and has had one
year of successful history. One OF the
things they then decided to do was
to make the banquet an annual af-
fair.
Herbert Smythe, the president Of
the club acted as POSTMASTER and
after the last cup of coffee had dis
appeared called upon z. s. Water
man of the firm of Leach and Wat
erman to speak. Mr.. Waterman be-
gan by alluding to the ''get togeth-
err spirit of which we now hear so
much and how it is just as essential
in business as in the outside world;
for the merchant as for his en-
p1oye. He advised the club to con-
tinue along it's present lines and to
devote its meetings to the better
ment Of It's members. He referred
to the advantages which st. Johns
bury has as a mercantile. center and
said the merchant may buy his
goods well, and display them well
but without good clerks he cannot
sell them we'll. The clerks of today
will be the merchants of tomorrow

cial club last Wednesday noon at
the Avenue House, Fred D. Gilman,
who was elected president at the
annual meeting sent in his resigna-
ton. 1t was reluctantly accepted

ent appointed George H. Cross to

The matter of securing better ap-
proaches to the freight house here
where there is almost constantly a
mud hole was taken up for discus
sion. 1t was stated that several
horses had slipped down there in
the mud and the place was an un-
healthy and unsightly spot. Com
plant was also made that it was
impossible to get prompt delivery
of freight here owing to the inabili-
ty to get the through car from BOs-
ton which arrives about IL O'Clock

WORST WINTER OF ALL
FOR THE CATTLE FEEDERS

Ed. Arnold of Chapman, who mar
keted several carloads Of ateers yes
terday, a part Of large string he
has been feeding, has been giving
the weather some careful thought,
and come to the conclusion that in
all the years he has been feeding,
this winter was just little the worst
he ever went through. Every time
we had sever snow, we would pre-
dict that the last one" he said Then
when another would come and lit
tie worse than the former Cf:e, we
would put that down as the final one.
Each snow storm was worse than
any other one OF the winter, until
we are about knocked out. 1t has
been a feed tester. There Is no hay
for sale practically. When spring fin
ally comes, and cattle are ready to
turn out, there will not be u handful
Of feed left in the whole country"
