Itinerant Peddler
 ToGet Recognition
Original Connecticut Yankee to Be HonOred at Hart.
 ford Industrial Exhibit in October

journeying from town to town, was of tremendous importance in the development of the first crude in. dustrlAl efforts in Connecticut. His sales made possible the foundation of many small manufacturing con- cerl-s which later became the backbone of the tremendously di. versified present day manufac- factures.
 The Yankee Peddler, as busi- ness man, came into activity as soon as the colonists produced any. thing in the way of manufactures fellow colonists and later to the other colonies stretched along the Atlantic seaboard. The peddler with the pack on his back soon was replaced by "the peddler on horseback" then wit ha sort of a carry-sll wagon which later devel- oped into an equipage carrying complete line of the manufactured articles of the state; clocks, hats. combs, mirrors. brooms, brushes. tinware, laces, textiles, power, shot, JE"Chy anu 0tl SOh to VI tLNhhSbos
 As these peddlers sold their manufactured goods and returned home to stock up" they brought the equivalent of what today would be called on "advertising survey informing the manufacturers back ho . of the demands of the pulp lie in other parts of the country. The industries founded on this de- mand were sound and enduring and many whose first sales were made by the itinerant peddlers are still in existence though grown to great proportions and using the latest methods of sales and distri- button. The ingenious and re- sourceful peddler, however, actual ly laid the foundation of what are now vast business concerns.

CITIZENS OPPOSED
COMING Of TRAINS
First Railroad Train Made
Its Appearance Here
100 Years Ago.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A hundred years ago now the firSt
railroad was the talk of this Capital
CITY. with the viewers Withdrawn
waking more noise than the pointers
with-pride.
An almanac gives July !, 1885, as
the day when the first railway trains
reached Washington. But the rail-
road company says that's wrong
August Is wa; the date when four
trains steamed into the Capital.
The first trains didn't make the
first pages of 1885 papers here. The
first pages carried the steamship and
stage coach ads. and in the press
seethed a citizenry fearful that the
railroad would. ruin the shipping
district
Citizens Offer Protest.
The WashE gton Globe of July 9,
1885, published letter signed Many
Citizens" protesting proposed ex-
tension of the rail line from Second
to Sixth on Pennsylvania avenue. 1t
demanded:
rs it not evident that neither
carriages nor any other vehicles could
venture to approach our doors in the
presence Of a train of huge cars to
hold so persons each besides in
Vulnerable arks of merchandise in the
rear? What member of Congress or
private family would risk their lives
TO pay visit or make purchase IN
the presence of such dangerous
machinery"
Protest Is Answered.
The National Intelligencer of July
IA printed a letter on the same sub
ject which answered the argument
this extension would permit a rail-
road-canal connection.
Citizens of Alexandria and George
town will certainly prefer having
their goods brought in by steamboat
as now" it said. IF the steamboats,
are to be broken by the railroads the
case will be altered-but let us wait
until We see a prospect of that.
But the editor of the Georgetown
Metropolitan pronounced absurd
the theory that the railroad would
hurt Capital retail trade by bringing
washington toe close to Baltimore
lyrically, he exclaimed
BY applying our modern mode OF
computing distances by hours instead
of days and miles, the distance be-
tween the two cities is henceforth to
be ? hours; that from Washington to
New York Is hours and to Boston
40 hours! Are We in a dream.
