These folk like to be skinned. The

custom. All the boobs do not come into
New York on the trains.
III the yellow Taxicab people stand

that yellow is an exclusive color In
vehicles they ought to cash. We may
soon expect to see supercilious persons
sneering from the windows Of yellow
taxis Just as enthusiastically as though
they were riding In their own machines
or In machines borrowed from friends

TAKING A PICTURE.

Getting five thousand men together to have
their pictures taken sounds like some JOB. 1t
is, but you can do most anything Il you have
the system. The order went out the other day
in the Buick Motor Company shops at Flint for
the men to quit work at IL 20. noon. The whistle
blew and the men quit. Around the factory
and on the bulletin boards hand bills signed by
W. P. Chrysler, Works Manager. had been dis
tributed, telling superintendents, foremen and
all other employees to go at to the rriangu
lar piece of ground just east of factory No. 6.
The men went and in less than twenty minutes
from the time they quit the picture was taken.
Especially erected for the occasion were two
whole box car loads of circus seats, places 70,
5,000 men. The field looked like show ground
and even those who knew the number of men
on the Buick payroll wondered if those seats
would all be taken The men packed them
elves in like sardiLes, and some stood W and
some had to sit on the ground so as not to hide
the man behind. The ground was a puddle
too, but the men didn't mind.
The Buick payroll averages nearly half 8
million dollars month, and the daily operat-
ing expenses, inclusive of material etc, are
more than $4,000 day. The daily output at
this season of the year is l65 cars Carle &

The Shoe Situation.

Nearby footwear factories are running fairly
close to capacity, yet many other producers
are not we'll supplied with orders and trade
generally is quiet. OF late jobbers have not
purchased as freely as heretofore, but manu-
facturers are receiving good orders from re-
tallers. As rule. salesmen in agricultural
districts are more optimistic than those ope1-
atlng in manufacturing centers. Buyers from
many sectlons Ct the country usually visit the
Boston market early in January and New Eng
land factories expect to book larger orders
after that time. Very quiet conditions are re-
ported by local jobbers who are mainly occu-
pied in making shipments on previous con-
tracts calling for deliveries prior to Christmas.
