Inquisitiveness is not generally re-
when inquisitiveness is properly d.
rected. 1t is one of the most useful
habits of mind. A story illustrating
this point is told by John ]. Arnold.
vice-president Of the First National
bank of Chicago In talk to en-
ployees of the members of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce he re-
lated the experience Of young man
he had known as a boy In wholesale
house in Chicago. where the latter
started his career as a helper to
salesman.
"He got hold of certain classes of
goods" Mr.. Arnold said. The names
appealed to him. He set to work and
studied the history of that particular
fabric He got the name of the fac
tory. He wrote to the factory in Eng
land and asked for particulars as to
the institution. He studied that in
stitution, from Jnu end to the other
and he studied all of the fabrics. all
of the different things that went to
make up that particular piece or
goods, and in that way he analyzed
every piece OF goods that came into
his hands. He was not satisfied mere
ly to take the goods and hand them
out, but he wanted to know what he
was handing out. The result is, to-
day he is one of the most expert buy
ers in this city, in one of the greatest
wholesale houses. Those are the
things that count. Get down to a
study of the inside workings Of the
thing that you are handling"

An Unfit Companion.

Mrs. Atherton had tried to impress
upon her young son. Eugene, that he
should play only with good boys.

pleased that her son had remembered
her teachings.
well, II one little boy kicks anoth-
er little boy, isn't it wicked for him
to kick him back?"
Yes, indeed. 1t is certainly very
wicked" was the mothers reply.

Whitney any more" said Eugene:
"ho's too wicked. l kicked him this

made a neat profit from the wartime
patriotism Of the Americans.
One evening Mr.. FEEDER and an asso-
ciate in the buying business were
walking in the cleaning after work
In the store was done, when Mr.. Feder
happened to open conversation he
never forgot.
There is one sure thing about the
toy business" he said to his compan-
ion. I'VE may make good sales in
some things. but we will never make
such good money again on flags"
NO." said his companion. THE
war is over and the big demand for
flags with it. That is, of course, un-
less another war should break out"
"Yes," unused Mr.. FEEDER, "a war or
some other national calamity-say the
assassination of president or some
thing like that-would remind the
people again that they are American
citizens"
1T is an Ill wind that brings no one
any good" commented his companion.
Quick to See the Opportunity.
This was in the spring of 1893, just
few months after the end Of the
Spanish war. Two years and a half
later, on the morning Of September IA.
1901, Mr.. FEEDER was dressing leisurely
in his home in upper New York. He
was still employed as toy buyer for
one Of the biggest New York depart
ment stores. His mother woke early
and. like hosts of newspaper readers
all over the United States that morn
ing, learned that President Mckinley
had died at Buffalo. She fastened to
her son and told HIM the alarming
news. After the first shock of 1t the
buyer recalled, as If it had happened
but yesterday. the words he had spo-
ken to his friend on Broadway two
years before.
Mr.. FEEDER didn't wait to finish his
breakfast. He grasped his hat and
hurried to the nearest elevated rail-
road station.
BY eight o'clock he was at the Bat
terry. six or eight miles from home,
in the neighborhood of the wholesale
flag dealers. 1t was before the days
Of taxis. SO he hailed cab that was
standing near the Battery place sta
The Ordway new era., 1915-04-02

hours Mr.. FEEDER had all the available
flags in the city in the receiving room
Of the department store. In the
meantime other department store buy
ers had gradually come to the realiZa-
ton that there would be run on flags
in view Of the death OF the president.
Many of them realized this first when
customers actually came to their
stores and asked for them. Then the
buyers hurried to the wholesale deal
ers. but not one flag was to be had.
'Mr. FEEDER bought them ALL" the
dealers said. HE has got every nag
in New York city except a few in
retail houses
That was one Of the little coups that
lend excitement to Mr.. Feder's bust
ness as one OF the leading toy buyers
of the country.
1t was also one of the shrewd pieces
of business that make department
store owners and directors bid high
for his services.
Last autumn, when one of the de-
partment stores in Manhattan moved
from a downtown to an uptown site,
Tue OWACl VI thC btOhC Su6h6Cu olA.
FEEDER as buyer for the trunk and
sporting goods department. All sum-
mer Mr.. FEEDER worked with the other
buyers to get together the merchan-
disc for the opening of the store in
the autumn. Late one evening a few
weeks before the new store was going
to open the owner sent for Mr.. FEEDER
to come to his Office.
A. Head Of Department.
"You have had experience as a toy
buyer, Mr.. Feder?" he said by way of
beginning his proposition.
"Yes," said Mr.. FEEDER, Il began in a
wholesale house and was a toy buyer
for a dozen years more or less. That
is the line about which l know most"
T thought So" said the owner. As
you know, we have never had toy
department. But I have decided that
we ought to have one. / have also
decided that you are the man to take
charge of it."
This happened the twenty-fifth Of
September, and the new department
was to open on the twenty-seventh of
October. 1t meant that within four

ton. He jumped in and told the sleepy
driver that he wanted him for the next
hour or two. He drove first TO the
biggest wholesale dealer in flags. He
was recognized as one Of the leading
department store buyers. and no one
thought anything about his presence
except that 1t was rather an early hour
to be doing business.
Il want all the flags you have In
your house." Mr.. FEEDER said.
After due deliberation and in con-
sideration of the large order the flag
dealer decided to let him have his en-
tire stock at very reasonable figure.
Mr.. FEEDER stayed in this wareroom
long enough to close up the deal and
then dashed to the cab waiting for
him and hurried to the next wholesale
flag dealer.
Good morning." he said cheerfully.
II am looking for some flags. II take
all you have on hand what terms will

John Borland is Eighty-Three.

John Borland ST., pioneer merchant
and banker of Inlay City, was eighty
three years old on Saturday, January 30
and family gathering to celebrate the
event was held that evening at the
home of his son, John, on Main street.
The event became known to the busi-
ness men of the village, who decided to
surprise him and marched in on Mr..
Borland fifty strong, to extend their
congratulations and respect. Each one
as he stepped up to shake hands pre-.
sented Mr.. Borland with cent. The
surprise was complete and Mr.. Borland
for a moment was quite overcome by
his emotions. The self invited guests
remained only long enough for greet
ing and shake of the hand and de.
parted, wishing the veteran banker
