Cago, and other large cities TO whose
trade they had never before catered.
Although this extension of the
firms efforts required the operation
of two more factories, which in
creased their annual output more
than a million dollars, the results
were obtained with practically no
increase TO the selling force-thc
best tribute in the world to the
shoes themselves.
But to get back to the 100000
Club and its members, these men
are doing more than making record
breaking shoe sales. They are max
ing independent fortunes for them
selves. The average salary of these
ten statesmen for tie past year was
over $1,000, while two of the men,
berS earned more than $4,000
apiece. This is considerable in ex-
cess of the yearly salaries Of our
United States Congressman and
Senators. Take the entire Govern
ment service and you will find very
few employees indeed whose salaries
compare favorably with the mem.
berS of the 100000 Club.
The ten statesmen who make up
the membership of the Craddock-
Terry Company's 100000 Club
are j. B. Stroud, of North Carolina +;
Calvin Young, Jr., OF Alabama
J. w. Jenkins, of Louisiana; A. L

Mr.. Stroud has been travelling for
CraddoCk-T Terry for about IS years,
and has led the Company's entire
selling force since 1902. His ship
mentS first reached 100000 per
year in 1900, and he has exceeded
this record in each succeeding year,
making his total shipments of shoes
since that time exceed a million
and a quarter dollars. Being on
the job with a good product" is
the terSe way in which Mr.. Stroud
tells of the secret of his sue
cess. Like most good statesmen,
he has more to say about the prod
uctS he sells than the way in which
he sells them.
Calvin Young, Jr., came with the
Craddock-lerry Company in the
early part of 1907, and shipped a
trine less than 100000 worth the
first year-a very credible record
for 'tirSt-year" man. The second
year he sold a little less than $780,
600. In 1908 he joined the ranks
of the 100000 Club, with total
sales OF Sl2S,QOO, and has been a
member ever since, his total ship.

ing CraddoCk-Tery footwear and
conducting very successful shoe
store at Shreveport, La.
To tell of the other members Of
The 100000 Club is but to prdc-
titalIy repeat the stories of the three
statesmen already referred TO in this
article. Albert L. NOEL, represent
ing the company in part of Viz
&inia and West Virginia, has been
selling Craddock-Terry products for
the past II years, but in addition
to. his labOrS as a salesman owns
the controlling interest in a Charles
ton, w. Va, shoe store. Major
p. }. Drew, of Columbia, S. c., is
noted for three things: His prom
inence in military circles in his State,
as a prominent member of the
Travellers Protective Association,
ard as corking good salesman Of
Craddock- reTy footwear.
The other five members of the
100000 Club are Minor S. Nc
Rec, with headquarters at MOntgom-
cry, Ala; L. B. Craddock, who is a
Nirginian, travelling in North Caro-.
lima; +. X. Perrow, a Nirglnian, who
makes his headquarters at Admission,
Ala; George Haugh, one OF the old
est and best known shoe statesmen of
the South, with headquarters at At
lanta, Ga, and A. H. Easley, the
youngest member of the 100000
Club, a man who makes up in abil-
ity what "he lacks in years.
George Haugh is the Craddock-
Terry salesman who created quite a
sensation in shoe selling soon after
coming with the company by dis
posing OF a carload of shoes " one

of last year he repeated by sending
in an order from the Mcconnell
Shoe and Clothing Company, of At

Craddotk-Terry footwear, a ship
ment that would probably overtill
two cars if forwarded at one time.

TAKE UP CASE OF LOPUKINE.
Russian Press Urges Revision Of
Trial of Police Official.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 1s.-The
press is urging a revision of the trial OF
NJ Lopukine, a former director of police,
who was sentenced in May, 1909. to five
years Imprisonment at hard labor on a
technical charge that he was member
OF the revolutionary organization.
The newspapers point out the absurdity
of the conviction of Lopukine for his al
legged disclosure of the true character OF
Azeff, who figured as one of the most
successful plotters against the emperor
the state and the lives of police agents
and government officials, and at the same
time was a daring police spy
1t is argued by the writer's of the ar
ticles that IL Lopukine contributed to the
unmasking of Azeff he should be regard
ed as a savior of Russian lives and Rus
sian honor. and IL he did not so con-
tribute, then they ask why was he SEN
