I'd Week of Merchandise Fair

After two day vacation buyers and
sellers will get together again this
morning in Grand Central Palace to be-
gin the second week Of the First Ma
tional Merchandise Fair. Well pleased
with the result Of the initial FIVE days,
manufacturers and wholesalers are ex-
pecting even a bigger session than was
experienced last week. They are pre-
pared to meet new quota of buyers,
for many of those who were here for
the opening have gone home, after
transacting their business. and their
places will be taken by buyers who
could not get here during the first
week.
The records atsthe Palace show that
$4,000 buyers registered during the
first FIVE days of the fair, and it is
safe to estimate that 10000 of these
came to the metropolis to visit the big
event,

. Jewelry sales continue active. Bust
ness last week, however, was not up
to expectations in some quarters. Sew
eral hollowware and f1atware manufac-
turers reported good orders obtained
at the National Merchandise Fair.
Pearls and novelties were also in good
demand at the fair. Among the popu-
lar priced lines, belt buckles, chains,
cuff links, imported watches, especial
ly ladies' white gold wrist watches
and white gold rings with diamonds,
were best sellers locally Diam onds
of first rate quality continued to ad-
vance. The demand continues firm.
Local cutting houses are slowly ex-
panding production. Jewelry jobbers
report slight increase in sales and de-
crease in collections for the past week.

The spring market for woolens and
worsteds is opening gradually, but bust
ness is decidedly spotty. The American
Woolen Company, conceded to be the
market leader, is in a good position so
far as future orders are concerned but
only a few independents have booked
proportionate volume of business in
comparison. The withdrawal of all
women's wear lines by the company in
dicated the good business that has been
done SO far on these fabrics. In worst
ed goods clothing manufacturers are
still demanding the lowest possible
prices and the general market level
is on a price basis in view of the pres
ent raw wool market, that will show
but little profit to the manufacturer
during the next six months, 1t is be-
lieved.
Narrow dress goods are extremely
active, due to the long shutdown Of
some Of the large producers. AS re-
suit at least one of the large mills in
Passaic, not affected by the strike, is
running a twenty -four-hour shift.

The women's apparel trade profted
the most of any Of the local Wholesale
lines by the great influx of buyers to
this market last week. Business in
women's dresses was the best of any
week so far this year and some of the
manufacturers are sold up for the next
four or five weeks Coats, particularly
for utility wear, also have been well
sold. Suits have not moved SO freely
so far. The buyers are still placing
paratively small orders and intend

to come back for more merchandise as
the season develops.
In the mems wear lines continued
progress is made in booking fall orders.
Some surplus of summer goods exists
in both retail and wholesale quarters
and prices have been reduced accord
ingly to clear them out into the hands
of consumers
The minor apparel lines also are re-
ported to be showing more activity,
with prices generally firm all along the
line, but sellers still extremely keen
for new business.
Silks
The fall silk business Is showing con-
tinued expansion, although some manu-
facturers, chiefly those developing
yarn-dyed fabrics exclusively, are still
complaining Of poor business. At the
merchandise show the silk booths were
among the most active and some siz-
able orders were reported.
Raw silk suffered another decline
early in the week, but in the last three
days showed greater frmness. Prices
at the close of the week were almost
on par with the close Of last week.
Furs
The retail August fur sales now in
progress are reported almost uniformly
successful, and in many cases the
volume Of business exceeds that
of last year. This has encour-
aged manufacturers for the COM
ing fall season, and more activ-
ity in raw furs, because of the antici-
patton Of good business in finished
garments, is reported. Prices are frm
all along the line. Retailers are plae-.
ing future orders with more confidence,
and some who delayed until the present
are being forced to accept late deliv-
cries.
Leather
Buying was active last week, due to
the continued upward trend of leather
and hides. Shoe manufacturers see an
increased use Of glazed kid with the
predicted return of the high boot for
women. Tanners Of this leather have
complained frequently because there
was an abnormal demand for small
skins, while larger skins we're neglect
ed. Patents, kids, colored buck, ooze
calfskins in colors and black and
sheepskins were good sellers locally
last week. The glove trade predict
large use of velmos, an imported lamb
skin, and mocha, for fall gloves. The
leather bag business picked up con-
siderably In the last few months with
the waning of demand for beaded bags
and purses. Considerable betting was
sold to South America last week De-
mand for sole leather has improved
and prices were advanced slightly
Upper leather was less active than a
week ago. Calfskin continued to soar
and the hide market generally was
active. Tanners are steadily increas-
ing production.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-14

The adverse effect is felt mainly by
the basic industries. Textile, apparel
and kindred lines, however, appear to
have entered period Of greater activ-
ity with the close approach of fall
and new consumer demand for season
able merchandise. The Merchandise
Fair, which opened here last Monday
for a three weeks run. stimulated
business in many lines. Not only was
activity reported at the sales booths
at the fair, but the host Of buyers.
the, largest ever brought here within
single week, operated to some extent
IN the open market.
caution in buying still prevails, how
ever, and no stampede for merchandise,
even in lines that are short In supply
as result of the textile strikes in
new England, has resulted. The chief
development at the fair was the book
ing OF orders from retailers by manu-
facturers and wholesalers who had not
previously sold these accounts. This
estalshment of new contracts, it is
argued, augurs we'll for future bust
ness. Another development was the
freer operation by many small retail
ers' some OF whom have not hereto

Fires Spotted BY Forest Air Patrol.

Fires Spotted by Forest Air Patrol.
The value of airplane forest patrol
was forcibly demonstrated recently
near Roseburg, Ore. One of the state
foresters in that city had received re-
ports from the lookouts in his territory
that there were no fires to be seen. 1t
happened that just at that particular
time he decided TO accompany one of
the army air service pilots engaged in
patroling the Oregon forests. He had
not proceeded very far on his aerial
journey before he realized that the re-
ports he had received from his look
outs were not as reliable as he was
led to believe. To his great consterna-
ton he discovered that he had no less
than II real fires on his hands which
no one knew anything about. Need
less to say the state forester Is now
converted to aerial forestry patrol
for life.

IS TURK A TURK?
Question Has Never Been Sat
isfactoriIy Answered.
But Whether American or Asiatic, No
One Has Ever Denied Its
Detachable Flavor.

"The Mystery of the Turkey" has
al Antaki--has discovered in An
cient Arabic books written long before
the discovery of America a descrip-
ton of what he thinks must be the
modern turkey bird-and the old author
found it in fact in Asia Minor, which
the Turks of his religion had already
conquered. Such piece of news goes
along well with the conquering of
what we used to call Turkey by Mus
tapha Renal and, if it were true, he
would be warranted in taking our tur-
key for his own Thanksgiving EN-
blem.
French naturalists have started up
at once and give the reasons, which
they say are imperative, why the tur-
key bird is genuine American, in the
woods when Columbus came and in
the Puritan Pilgrims pot. No for
eigners need apply-and, as for the
enigma of the name turkey" what's
In a name, anyway? That can be ex-
planned, and so can what the old Arab
said.
This is the sum Of the French ar
gument. The very type of all turkeys
is found in Honduras and was fully
des cribed in iii his glory-speckled,
with eye spots small, but bright, al
most as those of the peacock's plu-
mage with a deep-sea blue head and
orange-red dewlaps-35 years after
Columbus first glimpsed America.
Now, the Arab of the Turkish con-
quest uses a good deal of literature
TO describe what may easily be only
a guinea hen. And he is the only
traveller or writer who ever used Ian
guage that could be even remotely
applied to our American bird until
the turkey had become a domestic
fowl in Europe, after being brought
over from America as curiosity. The
misfortune was that somehow the Eng
llsh baptized him turkey" They got
hold of him very early, with their

The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1922-05-10
And what ConocO, the Balanced
gasoline, means to the motor

The ability of Conoco Gasoline to start a motor
promptly even on a thin mixture is the result of
the liberal but not excessive low boiling-point
fractions that it contains. It's ability to move
you slowly and steadily along in heavy traffic, to
respond instantly to the urge of the accelerator,
to carry you swiftly over the long turnpikes in
the country at a high mileage per gallon - this
ability Conoco derives from the fact that it's
manufacturers know how to make a perfectly
balanced gasoline.
Conoco, briefly, means more power because there
is less waste, less carbon because there is com
plete combustion, continual satisfaction and
economy because its quality is always uniform.
Standardize on Conoco Gasoline this season and
watch the results.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1922-05-10
What Balance, as applied
to gasoline, means

Gasoline has several characteristics which
make it the ideal motor fuel. The natural
composition of the particular kind of crude
oil it is made from controls some of these
characteristics, the skill with which it is
refined determines the others.
