SPRING FEVER NOT AT BEMBERG PLANT
ORDERS FOR BOILER CASINOS, BOILER HOUSES, STRUCTURAL STEEL AND TANKS KEEP EM.
 PLoYEs ON THE HOP.

Spring fever has never been able to get foot hold at the plant of Bem- berg < Sons. The rush orders which pour into this concern daily do not give the workmen an opportunity to loaf on the job.
 Bemberg & Sons is How completing a large steel boiler house for the De. Witt Lumber Company in east Little Rock. Two large tanks have also been constructed for this lumber com pany Bemberg & Sons has also sup piled the structural steel for the new hospital which is being erected in El Dorado. Two large tanks are being constructed for the Pritchard Lum- Der Company for use at it's Lonsdale mill

HEARSE BECOMES
 VEGETABLE TRUCK
vELIE DEALER IS REGULAR DA. VID HARuM AND SHARP DUN- AWAY COMBINATION IN
 TRADING CARS.

Vehicles can in short time change not only in appearance but in usage. There is in the huckster service in Little Rock today a red truck with plate glass sides. This vehicle a few months ago was in use as hearse.
 H. J. Black, state distributor for Velie cars and trucks and Haynes au- tomobiles is quite trader, as a sue cessful dealer must be, in order to pass on used cars which are taken in as part payment on sales.
 MT. Black recently traded for a di- lapidated Ford. Some young man in the vicinity of Hot Springs made trade in that vicinity for an old hearse, mounted the body on a Ford chassis and came to Little Rock look ing for something better. Mr. Black traded his old Ford for the hearse transformation. To complete the dis guise the vehicle was given coat of flaming red. This was sold by MT. Black this week to huckster near Little Rock who is now using it daily in hauling vegetables to the city.

WHAT ONE YEAR
 CAN ACCOMPLISH
RECORD OF cRow,RuRLINGAME COMPANY IS AN ENCOURAGE MENT TO ALL ENERGETIC
 YOUNG MEN.

Little Rock concern which has in the short period of twelve months become a prominent factor in the wholesale circles of Arkansas will celebrate its first anniversary on Sun day, June 13. This is the Crow-Bur- lingame Company, which opened for business on Friday, Jun 13, 1919.
 That there is nothing sinister in Friday, the 18th. is amply demonstrate ed in the business life of this concern. J. B. Burlingame and Bob Crow or ganized the company and rather de- liberately choose this date for the be- ginning of it's career They gathered about them number of the most en- ergetic and progressive young busi- ness men of Little Rock and started out with goal, which if reached by the end of the first year would dem onstrate that their policies were right and that their business would be a success. This goal was not fixed with the expectation of the business being dividend payer the first year. All calculations of the company have been upset. They have not been un- successful, but on the other hand the w-Burlingame Company has han dled business about three times in volume and dollars the amount it had hoped to reach the first year. Had it been possible to secure merchandise to fill all of the orders received, there is no telling how great the first an- nual sales would have been.
 The secret of scccess with the w-Burlingame Company has been fair dealing and continual hustling for business. The officers and employees have a weekly meeting which is in the nature of a love feast, so there is probably little left for the annual meeting.

TREADWAY TAKES
 SPARKER AGENCY
NEW RED SEAL DRY BATTERY MUCH SOUGHT AFTER BY TRACTOR OWNERS TO BE
 DISTRIBUTED HERE.

The Treadway Electric Company has taken on the distribution of tile Red Seal four dry battery "Sparker." This consists of four cells of dry bat teries in neat case so arranged that it can be easily attached to a Ford or to tractor. The case is water proof and arranged in very compact form. The Treadway Electric Com pany recommends this new combina tion of batteries very highly.
 The principal use to which the eSparker" is put is for light and starting on Ford as well as for sim liar use on tractors. As there are thousands of tractors in the rice belt the demand for such batteries is very heavy in that section and as the Red Seal line is the acknowledged peer of all, the Treadway Electric Company expects to do a tremendous business in that section with it.

USE LEVER ON
 MANUFACTURERS
RETAILERS TRY TO FORGE THE PRICES DOWN BY CUTTING AND EXPECT MANUFACTURERS TO
 FOLLOW THEIR LEAD.

With the government crop re- ports showing condition of only 62 per cent, do not see where any one can figure cheaper cotton goods dur ing the coming year." says Vernon Jackson, president of the Little Rock Tent & Awning Go.
 T anticipate 40 and 50 cent cotton this fall and merchandise can not be manufactured from raw material bought at this price to sell at present day offerings. The Little Rock Tent & Awning Co went strong on it's early purchases and we have bought enough to supply our trade during the present year We have bought at prices much less than quotations of today and our salesmen inform us that we are ten and fifteen points un- der the market at all times. Having purchased we'll we anticipate giving the trade the benefit of our good for tune and they can always secure mer- chandise from us bit under the mar ket.
 q have been in rather close touch with the manufacturers m the East and without being told so in direct words I get the information that the recently muchly advertised reduction in prices by retailers throughout the country has been in an effort to ham, mer the manufacturers down. This can hardly be done as with labor con ditions as they are, and raw material so high in price. the manufacturers can not make reductions, but must keep pace with the upward trend of the market.
 '"The merchant who buys now is going to get his merchandise consid- erably cheaper than he will be able to buy it this fall or next spring. The merchants who bought In the spring for fall delivery are getting their goods at price materially less than they could buy it at that time.
 "The rainy season has been much longer than usual and has extended over the entire United States. It has made a phenomenal demand for rub Der coats and rubber boots. This sup ply has been almost continuously ex- hausted and factories. cannot recupe- rate and create a reserve supply. To my mind there has never been any thing bearish in market conditions. z

FREIGHT TANCLE,
 CEMENT SCARE
PLENTY. OF RAW MATERIAL AND MILLS COULD MEET DEMAND IF THEY HAD CARS TO
 MOVE THEIR PRODUCT.

It is the freight congestion and not the lack of raw material or manufac- turing equipment that has created the shortage in cement, according to Kramer Darragh of the Darragh Com pany.
 MT. Darragh states that it is almost impossible to secure an additional supply of cement from any of the manufacturing concerns. They are producing even more than can be sent out and in the yicinities in which the mills are located truck transpor- tation is resorted to in order to meet the local demands. There are no mills in Arkansas, however, and the build ing trade must depend upon the rail roads for supplies. eff the big ce- ment concerns could secure double the equipment that has been promis- ed them they could readily relieve the shortage, says MT. Darragh, for the mills are equipped to turn out a great deal more than they are now manu- featuring. The mills have notsold their output, but all they felt they will get cars to ship As the railroad condi- tion can not be much relieved this year, we will probably have a cement shortage for the balance of the year at least"

ARKANSAS CATTLE
 IN FINE CONDITION
INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION co. STOPS BUYING TEXAS STOCK WHEN GOOD NATIVE
 CATTLE ARE OFFERED.

Continued spring rains have brought smile to the face of stock raisers in Arkansas as beef cattle is today in as fine a condition as it us ually is late in the summer.
 Never before have I found such excellent cattle in Arkansas at this season of the year as we are receiv- ing now" says Nick Eichelman, SUD- erintendent of the plant of the Indus trial Transportation Company. T suppose it is a result of the mild win ter and rains which have made such good range. We usually get very fair cattle about the first of July, and some years, not until the early fall, but this year the offering is good and while Arkansas cattle is as yet not quite so heavy as that we are receiv- ing from Texas, it is in such good shape that we have about stopped Texas shipments"
 There has always been an impress sion that Arkansas did not have enough good grade cattle to maintain a packing house. We are not finding it that way. The farmers of Arkansas are evidently alive to their possibili- ties in stock raising as the grade to- day is many times higher than it was only d few years ago. Arkansas has more natural advantages for stock growing than any state I know of 1 have seen such noticeable improve ment in the grade of Arkansas cattle that I believe at this time next year we will not have to go very far from Little Rock to get as much beef stock as the trade can consume
 In the cooling rooms or the indus trial Transportation Company's plant hang the carcasses of several hundred beeves. It is possible to make any kind of selection from this stock that the most exacting trade may demand. The Arkansas beef hangs right along side of row upon row of Texas steers. There is little difference in the qual- ity and Arkansas butchers are show ing a great liking for the home prod uct.
 The sausage department of the h. dustrial Transportation Company is just now having what may be termed a boom as the summer appetite in creases the demand for these prod ucts. Smoked meats are also in great demand and the killing rooms of the plant have been instructed to slaugh- ter as much stock as possible to keep the sausage plant in full operation.

BARRELS ARE
 STILL A GOOD BUY
WINE PRODUCERS WOULD HAVE WELCOMED AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE ON LOCAL CON,
 GERMS BIG PURCHASE.

Five thousand fifty gallon barrels of the old style, all tight coopered, would appear to be quite supply of barrels in these days of prohibition, but there is evidently quite demand for tight barrels as the Little Rock Barrel & Box Go. has just made a purchase of this magnitude from the company which now owns the picric acid plant.
 When the armistice was signed pie ric acid was being made at the big government plant in this city and these barrels were manufactured to ship it to the munition factories in the East As the picric acid plant was then shut down, there was no longer any use for the barrels and the Little Rock Barrel & Box Co. pur chased them last week.
 R. H. McNair, president of the com pany, declares there is a big demand in the Little Rock territory for tight barrels and that until these are dis posed of he will be able to give those desiring barrels a bargain. The bar rels are of oak and gum and excep- tionaIly well made They are suita- ble for vinegar. cider or any other liquid.
 In the olden days the grape growers wocid have gobbled up this bargain in short order and it is not improba- ble that there still will be some grape juice stored away in a portion of this purchase as MT. McNair can not fol low each barrel to see to what use it is mt

J.T. BEAL ON TRADE CONDITIONS
GOES TO NEW YORK EXPECTING ADVERSE REPORTS ON MAR kET, BUT IS CONVINCED
 OTHERWISE.

Dubious about the dry goods mar ket, J. T. Beal, president of the Bea1- Burrow Dry Goods Company, last week journeyed to New York to get little first hand information. His sentiment before leaving Little Rock was somewhat bearish. but he comes back firmly convinced that there will be no reduction in prices this year
 While every market condition indi- cated there could be no cheapers dry goods this year, MT. Beal had a "hunch" that the market was due for slump and went to New York with the express purpose of making some cancellations.
 T feel one hundred per cent better than I did before I left Little Rock" says MT. Beal, for what 1 saw in New York convinced me that prices are to continue on the upward trend for this year at least One large manufacture CT of ginghams opened his line at an advance for spring delivery of one cent yard over the fall prices. This manufacturer sold more than he can produce at this advance. find every where the market as firm as it can possibly be.
 "The trade conditions in this sec ton did not indicate that there could be a. slump in any of the lines, but you have to go to New York quite of ten in order to see that you are not missing valuable information about the market.
 We are well stocked with mer chandise and with an advancing mar ket and certainly no decrease this year, our customers have something to be grateful for"
