Sidewalk Sketches
THE COLLEGE GRADUATE
BY Howard L. Ram

goes against the grain Of dry goods
merchants who sell several feet below
cost in the newspapers and several
yards above cost in the store and who
hold retiring-from-busine sale once
every month.
As rule the worldly possessions
of college graduate on commence
ment day consist of a diploma, a col
lection Of Understanding notes and
Prince Albert coat. Thousands Of
young men have overcome these OBJ
stacles, nevertheless, and have become
successful lawyers, poultry growers
and fruit tree peddlers. This teaches
us that education will not hurt any
body If it is not used too much.
It is a severe strain upon the col
lege graduate to have to return home,
take off his class pin and 60 to work.
The young man who can graduate
on Thursday and then jump into the
embrace of a riding stirring pillow
the following Monday, without be-
coming sour in spirit and jaundiced
in temper, did not go through college
in vain. He has learned one lesson
that will stay with him long after
everything else has oozed away.

Big Demand for Dry
Goods During Week

Marshall Field & Co. in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say
Current distribution of dry goods
during the week has run ahead of that
OF the same period a year ago. New
business booked for immediate and flu
ture delivery, while satisfactory, has
not maintained the STEADY percentage OF
increase that has been shown in sales
for several weeks previous. as COM
pared with figures of the correspond
ing weeks in 1912
Cash receipts are normal. Weather
conditions have been unfavorable to
active retail selling, which is somewhat
offset by the fact that holiday shop
ping is beginning early and visiting
merchants report that they are eX-
tremely busy.
There is a feeling of satisfaction
among the dry goods trade as result
OF the good demand that has prevailed
throughout the fall months, leaving
manufacturers and retailers stocks at
present in such condition that with five
weeks more of moderate selling they will
be able to enter inventory with low re-
serves of merchandise on hand"
