BRADSTREET'S
VERMONT
REPORT

Bradstree is Burlington, VT, office
reports trade conditionSin the State
of Vermont for the month of April,
have, as whole, shoWf- slight i'm
provement The busy manufacture
ing plants are those that have re-
ceiVed orders from foreign countries,
altho' during the month a slight
improvement in the domestic demand
was apparent. With the reproduction
of the maple sugar crop and the
marketing of that prodnct the re-
ceipts have been turned into channels
of trade with beneficial effect. The
warm weather that prevailed during
the month made retail business in
seasonable goods better than was ex-
pected altho' certain sections report
that the volume of trade has not
been up to normal. The retail mer-
chant is buying as he needs and con-
fining purchases to small amounts.
The close Of the month finds granite
manufacturers still idle and the
trade at the stores in those sections
show the result of such inactivity on
the part Of labor. Manufacturers
of articles made from wood, novel
ties, last blocks, and bobbins report
the volume of business for the month
JUS closed has been better than was
expected. The organ manufacturers
have noted a slight improvement in
business. Burlington reports the
amount of work permitted in the
building line was in excess in dollars
of 5000 for April this yeai as COM
pared with the same month Of year
ago.
The month was free from mercan-
tile bankruptcies, although one offer
of composition Was made. April 1915
is the first month since June 1914 to
be free from bankruptcies. The pre-
ceeding month listed eight failures,
while April 1914 recorded one mer-
camille bankruptcy. The damage
done by fire during the month just
closed while 28o6 less than for April
of this year, was $50 greater than
for April of last year. There was
seven fires affecting as many mer-
camille firms with an aggregate
damage of S55 coo for the month of
April 1915. Three domestic corpora
tions were chartered during the
month with total capitalization of
$39, 900, while Apri 1914 showed five
with a total capitalization of $415,-
600.

Among his experiences at sea

tn a t steamer was wrecked.
1t is interesting to think of the long
ago, and that a man 50 recently in
our midst helped operate railroads
without the electric telegraph which
in his life time became essential to
the dispatching Of trains, and was
then almost superseded by the tele-
phone; e;that he repeatedly crossed the
ocean when no message could precede
him and that he lived long after the
laying of the Atlantic Gable and to
the time of wireless transmission. 1t
is pleasant to wonder what intense
anticipations were his on those early
voyages, and still more pleasant to
consider the sensitive reflections that
must have been his when at three
score and ten years of age, accom-
panied by his wife, he crossed the

There are notable periods in the
history of nations during which a
man is fortunate to live. The initial
development of an industry is of
special interest to one who has part
in it. To have lived through an era
of transforming influence in two
countries and to have helped establish
the two chief projects by which in
dustry within the borders of both
and across the ocean between them
has received the greatest impetus in
history, is not only a fortunate but
quite remarkable experience. These
were the world conditions in which
John Reeve thought and worked for
an unusually long lifetime. The date
and place of his nativity are May 18th,
1926, Braunston, Northamptonshire
England. Of his birthplace, in
language of classic beauty Mrs. Reeve
wrote twenty years ago:
We went back to his old home
with it's beautiful and peaceful sur

roundings of garden and orchard;
green fields sloping down to a CLASSY
canal where there is little traffic now,
and the towing path has a broad
fringe of grass, and the willows grow
tall and luXuriant and reflect them
selves in the placid surface day after
day utterly unconscious of their
beauty; where the shrill whistle Of
the locomotive has not yet begun to
be heard. And then we went to the
beautiful old village church; as
beautiful almost as a cathedral,
where quaint old tablets in the walls
told in quaint old lettering Of the
benefactions of the dead and gone
Reeves, and so on out into the church
yard where lay the dust, hundreds
of years old, of my chiIdren's
forbears. "
John Reeve was a student Of suf-
ficient maturity and intelligence to
be an observer of public events when
his country passed from the close of
one to the opening Of another and
better era in its history. He witness
sed the passing of King William the
Fourth, and with him the centuries
of individual government, and the
accession of Queen Victoria and the
beginning of constitutional freedom.
He was about twelve years cid when
the new Parliament assembled with a
greater number of young men who
were to become genuine statesmen
than any before or since in England.
In it were Grote, Lytton, Brougham,
Peel, Russell and O'Connell, Disrali
sitting for the first time and Glad
stone beginning to attract public
notice. The attention of John Reeve,
the boy, was so excited by the bril-
liant political debates which followed
that seventy-fve years thereafter he
would talk of them with a familiarity
that was fascinating. 1t is a pleasant
coincidence that the first government
recognition of a steam railway scheme
in the world was granted a short eX
perimental line during the year OF
John Reeves birth and that through
the period of his youth the theorie,
of steam propulsion were brought tC
practical operation by George Steph
enson on various short lines in Eng
land. The success Of these new pro
jects created a mania for railroadine
and John Reeve, when a young man
entered the employment of the Great
Northern Railway. A fewyears there
after steam became the motive power
for navigation of the sea and Mr.
Reeve was employed on the the trans.

ocean on the great steamship Sar-
dinian. Interested but not astonished
no doubt he was in what science had
wrought during the time of his recol-
lection, for marvellous achieve
ments had long since made him in
telligently and reverently credulOuS.
MIR. Reeve was first employed by
the Grand Trunk Railway at Mont
real in 1868. The following year he
was made station agent at COaticook
where he remained about three
years, during which time he was also
vice to the United States Consul.
During Mr.. Reeves residence at
COaticook a radical change was ac-
complished peacefully in the political
system Of Canada and a revolution
by fratricidal war was concluded in
the constitutional government of the
United States The various provinces
Of Canada were confederated and a
Dominion Parliament established at
Ottawa. Tho question of secession
was settled in the United States and
the union government was preserved
at Washington, All this history, the
unWritten and written constitutions,
and the character of the men led by
John A. Mcdonald and Abraham
Lincoln in the respective countries,
furnished the premises from which
Mr.. Reeve drew conclusions. His
theories of civil government were
imbued with his admiration of the
British system, which he thought
| likely to be most enduring under the
tendencies Of almost unrestricted
suffrage and party agitation. Doubt
less no man ever lived in this vicinity
who was better informed in the civil,
political, and industrial history of
Great Britain and North America
than was MIR. Reeve. The induce
ment to keep informed must have
been largely an inherent desire tc
gain the knowledge which carried
him to a high level OF reflection. Ar
intelligent interchange of opinion
with him in the sphere of his thought
was possible to few of the men who
were his local contemporaries, and
they nearly allpreceded him in going
away. His mental capacity to study
public affairs met no interval Of de
cline. With intense interest he fol
lowed the progress Of the European
war until during his last days here
compelled to save himself the eX-
haustion Of excitement, he dwell
only on the facts that were in lin'
