years ago the

Alabastine Co. discovered
what the world was looking
for, a permanent, sanitary and
antiseptic wall coating, usable
with cold water, a discovery
fully appreciated by the public,
and it is within the truth now
to say that within the compass
of the Atlantic, the Pacific and
Arctic <] oceans Alabastine is

more in demand and more in

vogue than all other wall preparations added together, and
millions of homes in Canada,
United States and Great Britain
are decorated with Alabastine.

All the leading hardware merchants and paint dealers now find it to their best interests to carry
assortment of Alabastine and give the people what they call for, and we furnish them
with a liberal supply of illustrated and advertising matter. Correspondence cordially invited.

section of the Exhibition in which hardwaremen are chiefly interested, but this
year has seen a great advancement, the
space alloted to stove and hardware exhibits having been considerably increased by the extension of the stove section
which now occupies the complete northerly section of the Industrial or Process

also been grouped more closely together,

Occupying an entire section of about
70 feet in length it was found hard to

justice to the exhibit.
As will be seen,
no expense was spared in making the
booth attractive, it being roofed in, artistically decorated, well lighted,

way they covered the top of their booth
was sufficient evidence that there was

some ground for the company's claim.

The booth itself, as will be seen from

were seen looking in admiration at the
attractive nature of the roof, and favorable comments were heard regarding the

Brantford "Crystal" roofing, which

here it is worthy of note that a high
authority in the roofing trade recently
stated that out of 91 manufacturers of
ready roofing in the United States only
six use as good quality of asphalt as the

"JEWEL" STOVES AND RANGES.

The Burrow. Stewart & Milne Co.,
Hamilton, once again had an exhibit in
a prominent position in the Stove Buildbag, and that their line is being kept upto-date was evident from a casual glance
at the exhibit, a photograph of which is
herewith reproduced.
None of the goods exhibited were finished with any extra nickel plating, but
were shown exactly as they are regularly
sold, thus avoiding any disatisfaction or

misunderstanding that might arise among

customers ordering stoves at the fair.
Among the new goods shown were the
new "Dominion Jewel" Range, with
loose nickel and plain trimmings, a very

DUNLOP RUBBER GOODS.

One of

the liiirsi exhibits in the Manufacturers' Building was that of the Dunlop Tire & Rubber Goods Co., Toronto,

who, from

beginning as leaders in lie

have developed a many-sided business
in all kinds of rubber goods, many of the
company's products directly interesting
the retail hardware
merchant,
while
others are articles constantly required
by the master plumber in ins daily work.
Dunlop tires need no introduction to
dealers in or users of bicycles or automobiles, although constant improvements
make the line one about which there is
always something to learn.
There were some surprises for hardwaremen, however, in rubber hose, (he

Garden and fire hose was also featured
in the display, the Dunlop Company having developed a large trade in this department. The garden hose was shown
on reels in 500-foot lengths.
That bicycling and automobiling does
not complete the lines of sport in which
the Dunlop Company are interested, was
shown by the display of rubber balls,
including the famous Dunlop golf ball.

The Chatham Vacuum Cleaner was the

CANADIAN METAL MARKETS

MONTREAL.
September 17. Although the primary
markets have been fluctuating during the
week no price changes are announced locally.
It is true that both tin and copper have been shaded for large size lots,
but the average jobbing orders have been
taken at last week's prices. Very good
business has been done, and there is an
encouraging tone to the markets. The
larger users are buying heavily in order
to provide for their future requirements,
but the more numerous smaller men are
still
purchasing from hand to mouth.
Their regular orders, however, mount
up to a good aggregate, and the fact
that they must come into the market
no matter what price is obtained is a
great source of strength.
Prospects look very healthy, and although stability to the primary markets
would induce more business, it is evident that a lot of metal will change
hands this fall. Jobbers are preparing
contracts with

more than ever certain than the best

Altogether the primary markets, with
the exception of spelter, are not by any
means satisfactory.

the market, despite conditions in Lon-

strong advance. Legitimate
consumption has fallen
off for a time, and the
reported heavy shipments of tin from
the Straits was sufficient to cause the
bear interests to get to work. The markets will probably be very speculative
until the next Baca sale at the end of
the month.

the

mind in that moment when a foolish little absent-minded

hope out of an utterly hopeless situation.
Rut Craig was not the man to yield to
stage fright, even when he was thrust
like a startled understudy into the most
dramatic part he had ever played. Carefully folding the check, he placed it in
his pocket and then, turning back, "By
the way," he said, "may I see Mr. Collins for a moment ?"
"Yes, you'll find him there in the back
office," the girl answered.
Craig stepped in briskly to find Collins dictating, the stenographer seated
at his left, the shining new Wentworth
on the stand beyond. And Craig noted
with inward exultation that even at serious
work this man carried just a
twinkle of good nature in his eye.
"Mr. Collins?" he queries, extending
his hand.
"Yes," said the other, grasping it cordially, "and what can I do for you ?"

stating that a salesman should not endeavor to ascertain a shopper's requirements as soon as she appears. He would
be negligent in his business if he did
not.
His first duty is to ascertain
whether he can be of any service. In
the mojority of cases he will find that
the shopper has something on her mind
and that, without proving obnoxious,
but, courteously attentive and agreeable,
he will finally obtain results. She may
wish to see goods, but does not wish fo
buy immediately.
An obliging attendance on such an occasion will give the
shopper a favorable impression and she
will not forget it.
But no shopper likes
to be made to feel that she has to buy
in order to escape from the salesman.
"I would say, therefore, that the most
agreeable form of salesmanship, and also
the most effective, so far as my experience goes, is that which has been courteous under all circumstances.

His
attitude will suggest, however, that if is

The
tactful salesman must necessarily be a
close student of human nature, with the
ability to draw therefrom those deductions which will prove an asset in making and holding, rather than marring and
losing, a customer.
He will know when
his suggestions are wanted, and will offer

will feel that she still knows what she

General regret will be felt among the
trade at the sudden death of E. E.
Bouchard, who has represented Brandram-Henderson, Montreal, in the Eastern Townships for some 12 years. Born
in Waterloo, Que., he and his family
were well known in the Eastern Townships. Mr. Bouchard returned to Montreal from one of his trips, about three
weeks ago, and although he was not feeling well at the time serious results were
not anticipated.
He decided to take a
week 's holiday, and while away his
firm was shocked to learn that he had
died suddenly.
His funeral took place
from the Notre Dame parish
church,
Montreal.

"Talking of stoves," said M. E. Cutclift'e, the junior partner, in speaking to
your correspondent, "there has been a

for furnaces; our staff has been kept
very busy in getting them set up for the
winter months. But even more so than
in the stove trade, the tinsmithing has
kept us busy, we having secured extensive contracts in the roofing and metal
ceiling trade.
These include the metal
ceilings for the Schultz Building and the
Union Reality Co. Building, on Dalhousie
Street, in which we are putting up Gait
Art Metal ceilings, the ceilings in the
Court House, and the metal shingles and
sidings for the Brantford Cordage Co. 's

Dick or Harry can get a license, whether

knows anything about plumbing or
not.
The business is being overrun, and
poor work is bound to follow. With competition of this sort, the only way for
untrained plumbers to get business is by
cutting prices and they can't cut prices
without cutting also on the quality of
the work.
A poor job means constant
repairs, and. while that might seem a
good thing from the plumber's point of
view, nevertheless the average plumber
prefers to do a lasting job for a fair
wage.
Price cutting by the plumber
means poor work for the customer and
a decent system of inspection would prevent either."

said
recently
that his paint
stock which hi' bad anticipated would be
depleted this fall would not be used up
until
the
spring months. The paint
trade is however in an excellent condition in other points in the west. The

Robert Wyatt has definitely announced

his retirement from the retail hardware
business in this city. The business established
many years ago passes into
the hands of his son, A. E. Wyatt, who
lias already become popular among his
fellow merchants. The
passing of Mr.

Wyatt

from active business life is regretted by many merchants in the city

with whom
he is familiarly known.
Having passed through the viscissitudes
of early pioneer days, and having served
his fellow merchants in an official capacity as member of the executive of the
Retail Hardware Merchants' Association,
there is perhaps
no merchant in the
west to-day more capable of giving good
counsel than the one whose namo passes
into the records of the past. Mr. Wyatt
was always highly esteemed by his competitors for his
kindly disposition and
wholesome leaven of his life.
H. F. Moulden, manufacturers' agent
in this city has been, acting as secretary
for
the
"Back to Montreal" rally of
September 15. Owing to the pressure of
business, Mr. Moulden will be unable to
personally attend the reunion.
L. A. Blackwood, sales manager in the

wholesale house of Miller-Morse Company, has the sympathy

of his many
friends in the death of his wife which

September 9. Mrs. Blackwood was suddenly stricken with pneumonia and died after a few days illness.

much money. To-day, a very large part

of the population is on that side of the
reek, and two bridges are now used to
supply them, without mentioning two
other bridges at Cambie street and Westminster avenue.
When one reads of the permits for one
week being such and such a figure, one
does not get an idea of the large amount
of building going on. A trip in the outlying portions of the city helps one to
realize how rapidly the city is reaching
out, for there is building on all sides, extending right into the woods. The value
of the permits issued last week totaled
$306,285, two large structures being included.
One of these was the Baptist
church, to cost $75,000, and the other a
reinforced concrete building on Water
street for Leeson, Dickie & Co., to cost
$85,000.
Even without these, the total
would be rather large.
Bayfield & Archibald, of this city, are
to supply the North Vancouver municipality with a new steam wagon for general corporation use. It will have a capacity of five tons, and on the level or
less-steep hills it can haul a trailer with
an additional four tons capacity. It will
travel at a speed of from six to seven
miles an hour.
It is calculated that a
greater saving will be effected than if
the municipality used the old style horses

and wagon.

The city water department is calling
for tenders for the supply of steel piping
for use on the extension of the distribution system.
Heretofore, the pipe has
always been of cast iron, but the special
committee of the council appointed to
look into the merits of what is known
Mannesiman weldless steel tubes has
recommended that such be adopted. The
tender calls for the following quantities:
2,500 feet 12-in, 15,000 feet 8-in, 20,000
feet 6-in, 50,000 feet 4-in. The pipe must

BEWARE OF THIS "FAKIR."

A

correspondent from one of the towns

Ontario writes Hardware and Metal
asking us to warn the plumbing and
heating trade of a "fakir" who is going
through the country trying to do the
trade.
His letter without names is as
in

follows

"A

few days ago, a stranger, with

Hebrew-German

accent,

called

in

our

and asked for the boss. He represented that he was a well-to-do farmer
who was building a new house about en
miles out on such a road, and that Charley Bell, a well known carpenter, was doing the work. He (Bell) recommended
him to come to us for hot water heating,
plumbing, etc., for an up-to-date house.
He wanted us to go out next day and
size-up the job and name our price, as
he wanted US to do it. He also picked
out a range (the best we had) and took
a cut of same to show the "old woman."
He had, or drew, a rough sketch of the
house, showing bath room, etc
store,

"He had sold sold some fat cattle to

the butcher on the corner, to be delivered
in two days, and a lot of hogs, next week.
He was just going over to the sawmill,
to pay for the lumber.
He goes and returns and the lumber costs more then he
expected which leaves him with hardly
enough to buy the beer for both (which
I declined).
He returns and asks a
favor of $5

"I found on

was no such man, farm, or new house.

To-day while sitting in an office waiting
for another merchant to wait on a customer, I heard a voice that caused me
to listen, when the same old story was
told under a different name.
I heard
the merchant make arrangements to go
next day. The man then picked out the

me with him, but he got away without
me. Of course, I should have laid a trap
for him and have had him arrested, but
could not control my feelings longer.

are prepared to advertise your store by

advertising their paint.
They will give
you booklets, enclosing slips, newspaper

paint.
This has the effect of advertising not your paint department only, but
your entire store, for you know the desirability of having people come into
your store; how you can often sell something else to a man who comes after
paint.
This is one of the greatest advantages in handling a line of well-advertised and favorably-known prepared
paint, the people come to your store.

Prospective customers for prepared

paint can be shown color cards, samples, etc., of the actual goods, in fact, a
clever salesman can make the buying

MINERAL SURFACE
NEEDS NO PAINTING
AMATITE

roofs need no painting. The owner need never look at Ihem

They are "no-trouble" roofs. They
they take care of themselves.
present to the weather a real mineral surface against which storm and
wind and snow are absolutely powerless. This surface does not require constant painting like the smooth surfaced or so called "rubber" roofings. The
mineral surface is far bet er than piint.
Of course before Amatitc came, the "smooth surfaced" roofings vere
the best kind 10 buy.
Now that Amatite has been invented and thoroughly
tested by years of use, paint ng a roof is wasteful and unnecessary. The cost
of painting a "rubber" roofing from year to year will oon cost more than the
roof itself. That is why everybody who knows about roofing is buying Amatite
nowadays. It needs no pxinting.
Amatite is easy to lay. Anyone can do the work. Large headed nails and
liquid cement come free with every roll.
We shall take pleasure in sending you a sample of Amatite with our
compliments upon request. Address our nearest office.

We spend every year in advertising a sum greater than the combined sales

Behind that advertising is the
best razor in the world the razor that always makes good.
You know the result. Men every where in every section of Canada, as
well as throughout the world are convinced that the GILLETTE is the
razor they want.
4,000 of them, on an average, buy GILLETTES every day. Are you selling
your share, and getting your share of the profits ?
Indentify your store with the GILLETTE
Display it in your windows
and on your counters
Keep yoor GILLETTE signs in plain sight
Show

There's money in it.
No

If you are coming " Back to Montreal " this month don't fail to come and
see us. We want to shake hands with you, hear your GILLETTE experiences
and suggestions, and show you the Canadian home of the GILLETTE. It

Some special '"Puritan" features are:

Quick Washing, due to the fact that the "Puritan" dolly-board makes

effective rubbing as other Va turn machines.
Easy Opening, due to the use of a coil spring which counterbalances

Winnipeg, Sept. 7 A contagious form

of indignation is spreading rapidly in
the province of Manitoba on the event
of it becoming known that on November
1st, an act licensing all extra-provincial
corporations goes into effect. Those who
represent outside firms in this city and
throughout the province are the ones who
are chiefly concerned, and since the act
referred to was assented to on March 10
last, and only a comparatively short time
remains to offer any resistance,

it

cannot

be wondered that the feeling against it

is keen.
To a casual observer the introduction of this act would be a direct
blow to the resident agent or broker doing business for an extra-provincial firm.

the revenue, but that which the province

commercial status which we have struggled to build up and maintain.

A novel method of toughening metals

pressure, and then heated below the
melting point of the metal. While the
heating is going on, a current of electricity is passed through the metal.
It is
said that metal treated in this manner

There has been considerable dissatisfaction with regard to the new selling arrangement, which now obtains on linseed

with good bags were H. L. Massey,

GALVANIZED-IRON COMPETITION.
In reporting that the Galvanized Iron
Shept Makers' Association has been disbanded and its price agreements aban-

50

doned, F.S. Consul Halstead, of Birmigham, writes as follows concerning its

effect on British industry
i

The association was a "pool" which

had governed production and the selling
rates of galvanized-iron sheets over four

At the time of its creation the

price of galvanized corrugated sheets of

years.

24-gauge'was about $48.65 a ton (2,240

pounds) f.o.b., which was raised before
the end of the year to $59, and in the
prosperous period of 1907, the price went
as high as $67.40.
However, from January, 1908, the price stood at $60.83,
despite the fact that prices of other
classes of finished iron had been materially reduced.
It was an interesting result of the pool that with the depression
in industry its prices could be maintained at such a high level, but the arrangement to stop American competition had

made

this possible.

For

a while this high price during the

depression, with the accompanying reduction in the price of fuel and black
sheets, enabled members of the association to make a very good profit, but they

had much machinery standing

idle,

which

cut profits.
Then the penalizing of excessive output, which was one of the important points of the agreement, was
displeasing to
smaller
manufacturers.
The lush price of galvaniz-xl-iron sheets
naturally tempted other firms to go into
the business, so that many of the new
firms, quoting their prices a little lower
than the ruling association price, secured the orders. Thus they gained practicallv all the benefits, though not members
of the association, due to the policy of
the association in maintaining its pricos
at a high level despite the depression.

The collapse is reported to have been

hastened by increasing Amei'icr.n competition in the open markets, especially
of South America, which had furnished
for years an excellent market for BritIt is said that, with the
ish sheets.
thicker sheets of galvanized iron, American competition in the open markets has
been particularly keen.

As a result of the collapse of the association, quotations ranged on July 15

as low as $51.10 to $53.50 per ton, while
some firms who had been outside the association quoted as low as $48.65. It Is
apprehended that the destruction of the
price agreement will seriously hamper
the makers in this section of England,
because, as the export market is an important feature of the trade, they will
have to pay freight to the seacoast, a
charge which the manufacturers located
on the seacoast will not have to bear,
and can consequently quote lower. It appears not unlikely that if there is no renewal of the asociation, and its members say its collapse is only temporary,
the effect will be to drive makers of galmidlands of
vanized sheets from the
England to the seacoast. In past years
there has been not a small migration of
iron founders and iron product makers
to the coast.

CANADIAN-MEXICAN TRADE.
During the period of depression Canada was the only country on the list to
show an increased trade with Mexico in
both imports and exports, the amount
of increase being
Imports from Canada, $95,000',; exports to Canada, $48,000.
These figures
are per Mexican
official
returns.
The actual amounts,
however, in the case of Canada, are
considerably greater as Canadian imports, coming via
the
United States,
are usually credited to that country and
:

exports to Canada direct are frequently

credited to Great Britain, as they are
carried in boats flying the British flag.
This is not a matter of conjecture but
of
positive
knowledge.
For instance
the total value of exports to Canada,
per official returns, for the period under
discussion, is $109, 300, whereas the figures for sisal shipments alone, from the
port of Progreso direct to Halifax and
Montreal,
show a monthly value of
nearly the above amount. For the calendar year 1908 the total sisal shipments to Canada direct amounted to

"Samson" Roofing

Something we know to be genuinely good and

dealers to thoroughly recommend.
The demand

safe for

a
thoroughly reliable quality at the right price encouraged us
to make a special feature of 'Samson' roofing, which can
be used on any kind of building and saves the expense of
carpenters, tinners or "roofers" in regard to the laying.
It
has the advantage of being
for

Water-proof

-Storm-proof
Weather-proof
and

Fire

Resisting

and can easily be applied by almost anyone, the only tools

needed being a knife and a hammer. Those of our customers
who have not yet ordered "Samson" roofing are missing a
chance to do big business. It represents genuinely good
value and is sold under a guarantee of absolute satisfaction.
Once people get to know what it is, you should have no
difficulty in controlling the Roofing trade of your section.

We have backed up our belief in an increasing business by building large additions to our plant, installing modern
machinery, making large purchases of raw material, and recommend that our customers buy promptly and liberally to insure

Mrs. R. C. Chown, Belleville, then

read the following address presented by
the ladies of the party:

pleasant in the years to come to have

such tangible evidence of the appreciation of the members of the party in the
shape of the magnificent club bag and
suit case given for his own and his wife's
use.
He would value them and always
remember the happy hardware family
who had given them. Mr. Wrigley also
thanked the ladies for their kind words
and said he regretted that his wife had
gone on to Quebec and so was unable
emto share his mixed feelings
of
barrassment and pleasure. Trips of this
kind entail a great deal of labor and
expense and in his opinion it would be
imposing on good nature to think of
accepting the invitation so kindly extended to return to Montreal next year.
Possibly in two or three years' time the
association might hold another excursion.
A. W. Humphries, Parkhill, gave some
reminiscences of the infant days of the

SOME EFFECTIVE WORK.

A splendid example of the effectiveness of retail organizations is
provided by the work accomplished by traders' associations in the
Old Country as regards the keeping up of retail prices. So effective have
their
operations been
that the Civil Service Supply Association established since 1866
has had to conform to manufacturers' ultimatums so far as fixed
minimum prices to consumers are
concerned. The following advertisement from a London paper explains the situation tersely
"The Civil Service Supply Association, Limited,
established in
1866 not to make profits, but to
supply the best goods at the lowest possible prices for cash, now
finds
that pressure from traders
combined in an association for the
purpose of keeping up the retail
prices of proprietary articles has
caused
certain manufacturers
to
fix
minimum prices below which
their
articles
must not be sold.
To meet this action the Civil Service
Supply Association has decided that the extra profits derived from the sale of those articles
shall be utilized in
reducing the
prices
of
the great
variety of
other goods in which there is and
can be no limitation of price."

The picnic was held at Erie Beach, the

crowd that went out over the C, W. & L.
E. electric line hailed not only from
Chatham, but from the whole surrounding country. In all probability, over 2.500 people shared with the merchants
and clerks the biggest holiday outing
Chatham has seen this summer. Throughout the city, the stores, in accordance
with previous announcement, closed at
noon, and pretty nearly every mediant
in town did the right thing by pulling
down the blinds, and giving himself and
his people an afternoon's holiday, at
Erie Beach.
The parade proved a big attraction. At

this

every one is in the drag, and it will be
well on to the fall when they catch up

piece of work they were given by the

Parks Commission. The work was the
carrying out of an original idea, in the
way of a fountain in the centre of St
George 's Square. There are 92 streams
of water thrown up from that number

of

taps placed at intervals along the

pipe that surrounds the cement basin
of the fountain, and all the streams are
thrown to meet at the feet of the central figure, which stands upon a high
base.
It is a creditable piece of work.
Guelph merchants feel grateful to the
police and civic authorities for their
vigilance in stamping out the dog nuisance in Guelph.
They feel that they
have been benefited largely and hope
the good work will be continued.

John J. Foote, the manager of the McClary Company worked hard in trying
to save some of the goods, but almost
everything that was rescued was damaged by water or fire. He said he was
at a loss to account for the starting of

the

fire,

and

this will

perhaps remain a

mystery.
It was a particularly unfortunate time for the fire to occur, since
the company were right in the middle of
a busy season, and the loss of stock as
well as the delay, will be considerable.
The amount of insurance on the stock is
approximately $83,000 and $30,000 on
the building, the majority of it being
placed in Ontario.
Offices are open temporally
in
the
Thomas H. Lock grocery building, while
an adjacent curling rink is being utilized
as a warehouse.
There was little hitch
in the progress of business.
Travelers
went out the following Monday as usual,
and fortunately the fall orders were on
the way for distribution in the west. On
the day of the fire a consignment of
goods valued at $2,000 were sent out. The
books and other records of the company
are all preserved, but the stock, including kitchen utensils, stoves, boilers, furnaces, stovepipes, refrigators, milk cans,
etc., was almost completely destroyed.
The company will rebuilt as soon as possible.

trade quite extensively.! The difficulty
with
the
carpenters is the matter of
wages. The unionists demand 45 cents
per hour and an agreement with the contractors to receive this for one year
from date of contract. Few of the contractors can reasonably complain at the
rate of wage demanded but many refuse
to agree to pay this rate for one year.
The contractors want the agreements to
expire before the next season's work is
estimated upon. On account of the great

urgency on the part of the contractors

to have their work done some of them
signed the desired agreements and this
has saved the hardware situation to some
extent. The
sheet metal
workers are
also out and there are little of these lines
moving locally. Latest reports are that
the painters and bricklayers are about
to strike also and in that case the building activity of the city will be greatly
impeded. Wholesalers
have
been very
busy this past month with the general
western trade and they are glad to have,
an opportunity to get their books into
shape after such a rush. If the strike is
continued however, it will be a severe
set back to the wholesalers as well as
the retailers, for although they do not
depend upon \he local retail trade as
much as they' ought to, yet they sell
heavily to contractors in the city and
this is a considerable item with them.

Evidently the bait of low prices did not
frighten the farmers, and with the scarcity of seed and its consequent high
price, there was nothing to do but advance oil prices.
This week a rise of
one cent per gallon is noted over last
week's market quotations. Raw is now
64|c and boiled 67$. Prices are firm in
England, and in the United States the
trade is on the eve of one of the biggest
harvests ever gathered in that country.

TURPENTINE.Although' the south
reports higher prices for "turps," the
local market remains stationary, though
the price is firmer than earlier in the
week. Single barrels are at 80 cents per

5 gallon lots 85 cents. One house is today offering turpentine 2 cents below

The extraction of linseed oil from

Russia, India, Argentina,

The flax

MINERAL SURFACE
NEEDS NO PAINTING
AMATITE

roofs need no painting. The owner need never look at (hem

they take care of ihemselves.
They are "no-trouble" roofs. They
present to the weather a real mineral *u'fac against which storm and
wind and snow are absolutely powerless. This surface does not require constant pain'ing like the smooth surfaced or so called "rubber" roofings. The
mineral surface is far befer than piint.
Of course before Amatite came, the "smooth surfaced" roo'ings vsre
the best kind to buy.
Now that Amatite has been invented and thoroughly
tested by years of use, paining a roof i< wasteful and unnecessary. The cost
of painting a "rubber" roofing from year to year will oon cost more than t ie
roof itself. That is why everybody who knows about roofing is buying Amatite
nowadays. It needs no pxinling.
Amatite is easy to lay. Anyone can do the work. Large headed nail < and
liquid cement come free with every roll.
We shall take pleasure in sending you a sample of Amatite with our
compliments upon request. Address our nearest office.

Every day we receive inquiries that had been sent to the

Manufacturers of the Arnold Safety Razor, wanting to know
where they can buy these goods in Canada.
So we would like it known that we are the exclusive
Canadian Agents.

THIS

RAZOR SELLS AT

$5 00 RETAIL.
They pay the Storekeeper a good margin of profit. They also pay the jobber a
fair profit.
These razors are put up in a very attractive shape. They take up the
same amount of room exactly as a Fountain Pen, and best of all they do the work
which they are intended.
This is the only Safety Razor that is held and manipulated
Blade Razor.
It cuts the beard but does not scrape.

DIRECTORY OF MANUFACTURERS
Hardware and Metal receives, almost daily, enquiries for the names of manufacturers of various lines.
These enquiries come from wholesalers, munufacturers and retail dealers, who usually intimate they
have looked through Hardware and Metal but cannot find any firm advertising the line in question.
In many cases these firms are anxious to secure the information at once. This page enables manufacturers to keep constantly before the trade lines which it would not pay to advertise in larger space.

were discussed.

On behalf of the Government of the Island, he welcomed the delegates.
He knew every one of them was
interested in the Maritime Provinces
and the deliberations would be interesting. The subject of transportation would
greatly interest the Island.
He hoped
the Board Would pass a resolution dealing with difficulties of transportation and
the remedies as regards the Island.
The one other subject of general interest was that of maritime union.
It
was a large subject and the Island would
no doubt oppose it on the grounds of
loss of identity and the smallness of

members in the Island Province. He declined to express an opinion on the subject.

Annual Meeting at Halifax.

The annual meeting at Halifax in
August was the largest since the formation of the Board, 309 delegates being
present. The subjects were ably discussed, and many of them have had the consideration of both the Federal and Provincial Governments.

A Board has been formed *t Mahone

It has not yet affiliated, but we
hope during the coming year to have
it on the list of affiliated Boards.
The Boards not yet affiliated have had
as usual every attention, and have been
invited to be represented at the annual
meeting.
Correspondence With Boards.
This has had the best of attention
during the year.
Some of the secre-

have promptly responded to letand notices. Many of them have

been very slow, which has been the means
of delaying the work and makes quite
a rush as the annual meeting approaches.
It is to be hoped, however, the secretaries will
take
notice and
be more
prompt the coming year.

these are received.

In Prince Edward Island, a very notable set of facts are coming to light, but
as the farmers of the island have been
favored with several very abundant harvests and there was more or less of Scott
Act legislation before the Prohibition
Act was passed, we shall have to wait
longer before it can be shown what economic effect may fairly be credited to
the prohibition legislation. All we can
say at present is no serious harm has

resulted.

Your committee therefore ask to be

reappointed and that this important
matter be commended to the interest and
cooperation of the various Boards.

of Hon. Mr. Hughes, the president.

the honor conferred upon me and upon

our Province in electing me to be president of the Maritime Board of Trade.
If we ha.ve a magnificenc Western

Mr. Anderson seconded the following
resolution,

which carried:

"Whereas, the Federal Government

and the Governments of the various
Provinces have established a system of
annual exhibitions to which they contribute liberally because of the educational value to the country;

"Whereas, the agricultural interests

of the country are of the highest importance and it is desirable that the
farmers of the Maritime Provinces
should be able to benefit to the greatest
possible extent by this system of education

"Whereas, this annual meeting of the

Maritime Board of Trade learns with
much regret that some of the manufacturers in Canada have entered into an
agreement not

to exhibit their products

at these exhibitions, thus depriving pur-

chasers of the opportunity of learning

of the latest improvements and setting
themselves in opposition to the policy of
the country;
"Therefore, be it resolved that this
Board bring this matter to the attention
of the Dominion Government and of the

He mentioned the experience of ice-breakers in different places
in the world.
He quoted Hansard on
this subject and read various reports of
engineers made to the Government. The
ice at Pictou was just like the Baltic sea,
running in places from land to land.
Powerful vessels had broken ice fourteen
feet thick when there was open water,
in which to dispose of broken pieces.
At
Pictou the ice was a solid wall. He believed inside Cape John would be an
ideal place for a pier. He had visited the

would be the best place.

terminal accommodation would be necessary. He believed they were entitled to
this
expenditure provided it gave the
much coveted continuous communication.

He did not like the idea of reflecting
upon any of the other provinces by any

one.

While sitting in parliament, he had

seen the influence of the Maritime Provinces fading. He saw the Western Provinces dominating on representation. He
contrasted the west with the east, and
the peculiarities of each. There was no
union of the members in the provinces.
Their rooms are known in parliament as
three distinct camps.
There was never any union on any
subject.

that the western people look upon the
maritime differences as mostly petty

He
did not believe union would reduce the

The provinces need not worry over that

anyway. Representatives would be strong
anyway. He then read a few notes which
he had prepared on the subject of union.
It had been estimated that union would
save at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. What would that amount

of the three provinces ?

Senator Ross took the speaker to task
for "sneezing" remarks made regarding
the Legislative Council of Nova Scotia.
He paid a great tribute to Joseph Howe.
He cited one of Joseph Howe's speeches, re the Legislative
Council,
which
was opened by himself. Howe reformed matters by perpetuating the Legislative Council.
He believed that the
Province of Ontario admitted the mistake in abolishing the Legislative Council.

A. M. Bell referred to Newfoundland,

and how that island failed to come into
Confederation owing to a financial matter.
He felt that the Maritimers should
try to get Newfoundland to join with
them in the union, and thus round out
a perfect confederation.

Maritime Union Endorsed

Mr. Edgett's motion in favor of Maritime union was then put and carried by
a fine majority.
resolution moved by
Senator Ross, and seconded by Hance
Logan, was carried as follows:

It was announced that the St. John
delegates had arrived and the left-over
matters were discussed. Mr. Harvey, of
St. John, announced that St. John had
decided to withdraw from the Maritime
Board of Trade.
He spoke of contentious subjects which had dominated
the Board.
The St. John Board would
cease to have any connection with the
Maritime Board, with this meeting. He
regretted that he had not any chance to
say this before the officers were elected.

Mr. Paton said it was remarkable that

delegates would come to advocate union
and at the same time announce their
withdrawal from the Board.

Flourishing Dartmouth Industry.

This factory commenced operating under private ownership in 1864 for the
manufacture of the now famous "Acme"
skate.
So rapidly did the business increase that it was found necessary to

have the capital increased, and the factory enlarged, and in 1868 the Starr
Mfg. Co. was incorporated. Since then,
by keeping in advance of the times, it
has grown to great proportions. Bolts,
nuts, rivets, spikes and hinges were next
manufactured, and a ready sale awaited
them when placed on the market. Electro-plating was next taken up and today the Staxr Mfg. Co. have one of the
largest plants in Canada for plating in
gold, silver

and

nickel.

In 1907 the Starr Co. was amalgamated with the Dartmouth Rolling Mills
Co., large producers of bar iron.
The
amalgamation with the
Rolling Mills
placed the Starr Co. in the excellent
position of being able to make their own
raw material, as well as enabling them
to cater successfully to the merchant bar
iron trade of eastern Canada.
The machine and forge department has lately
been very much developed, the manufacture of screw and hook hinges having
been recently added.
When it comes
down to skates, it can be said that Starr
skates are used all over the civilized
globe.

Mr. Hinton, the vice-president, was

It is a credit to the town that it

The water is

business in the

Summerside, now a thriving town of

was scarcely
3,000 population,
worthy of the name of hamlet in 1857.
It was merely a calling place for sailing ships, and the whole population of
the Island was not large. However, this
was soon remedied, and as the population increased it was only natural as a
sequence that the business of R. T. Holman increased accordingly. It was the
old story of necessity being the mother
of invention, and the late Mr. Holman
not only supplied the needs of the farmers and others, but he accommodated them
in many ways, and made friends all
over the Island. That life is a cumulative consequence in business, as in any
other walk, is evidenced by the business
of to-day, which has evolved into the
corporation of "R. T. Holman, Ltd,"
dealing wholesale and retail in dry goods,
over

a few months previous to the death of R.

T. Holman, Mrs. Holman being still a
member of the firm. The directors include Harry T. Holman, president; J.
S. Hinton, vice-president and secretary,
upon whom the active management of
the business devolves; J. LeRoy Holman, treasurer; Geo. P. Walker and Mrs.
Holman are the other directors. A
glance at the store itself would be an
eye-opener to many of the western people, who have a hearsay notion that people on the Island are "slow."

at Yarmouth in August, 1905, when the

Our representation depends on the

the number of representatives from the

35; in 1895, the representation was 39
for these provinces and 15 for the west.

ISLAND.

Prince Edward Island is the

smallest and most densely populated of all the provinces of Canada. Its area is only 2,184 square
miles, while
its
population, in
1901, amounted to 103,250.
It
is
supposed
to have been
sighted
by Sebastian Cabot in
1497. Later it was included in the
territory of New France, and finally annexed to Great Britain in
1763. In 1873
it
was admitted
into the Dominion.
The unusual fertility of the soil
has rendered agriculture the chief
industry.

if these Canadian provinces from Atlantic to Pacific can be made one united
nation, why do you say that the union

In conclusion, I ask, why should we
remain separated? Is this policy of separation in the best interests of these
provinces?
There is a vast difference
between the separation that is weakness
and the union that is strength. These
provinces have problems of their own,

A GREAT EASTERN PROBLEM.

Maritime Union was one of the

vital

questions that came before the annual

convention of the Maritime Boards of

Trade, held on Wednesday and Thursday of last week at Charlottetown, P.E. I.,
an entire report of which appears elsewhere in this issue.
That the question was ably and intelligently debated is unquestionable, since
the delegates to the convention comprised some of the best, broad-minded
business men in the provinces bordering
on the sea.
Maritime Union has been
before this body on previous occasions.
It is a big problem and one that cannot
be settled in a day. While some opposed
any steps towards union, others were

and Prince Edward [sland wen

Some need a

take such an offer as a signal insult.
Hence, the salesman must be thoroughly
acquainted with all his customers, must
know their peculiarties, and treat each
in such a way that he will feel well disposed towards the clerk or traveler.
Personal characteristics of a salesman,
of course, constitute an important element. Some men possess the knack of
making themselves popular, and popularity is one of the essentials in the science

of selling goods.

One of the most important aids towards the selling of goods is sincerity.
Let the buyer be convinced that he is
dealt with in a fair and honest way
and he will not hesitate to deal if he is
in a buying mood.

The ground

taken by the MaeLean

this matter was that it, was somewhat
unreasonable on the part of the retail
mail order stores to ask postmasters to
assist them in placing catalogues where
they would do the most good, or to thus
help them in building up their mail order lists in competition with local mertrade

chants.

business is again pressing, and jobbers
and hardwaremen report trade as being

goods is called for, too, which is a sign
of bettei-ment in trade conditions. Business is now running much in excess of

This year
the crude rubber trade enjoyed the biggest boom in its history, until the weakness which developed within the past
few days.
Certain trade authorities state that
the market is at present in the throes
of depression and a further sharp break
in prices is looked for in some quarters.
It is pointed out that manufacturers filled up their stocks of raw material prettj

and are now out of the market as buyers,
Because of this
the market has

Supplies of the new crop are now

It is this

OPENING FOR CANADIAN HARDWARE.

J. E. Ray, Canadian Trade Commissioner at St. John's Nfld., says there is
an opening for Canadian hardware articles in the colony.
"The total imports of hardware bj
this colony," he says in his report, "are
over $300,000 annually; but in endeavoring to specify the annual imports of
specific articles an insuperable difficulty
arises, as collectively appears to be the
principle upon which the customs returns of Newfoundland are based." The
possibilities existing for the extension
of Canadian hardware exports is shown
by comparing with 1904-5 the imports of
these articles from Canada during 19078.
A decline of $2,000 is noted whilst
the imports from the United Kingdom
exhibit a decline of $20,000, the United
States remaining praotically stationary.

The cause of

this

uniform price which prevails, thus robbing the retailer of his profit, is simply
because the wholesalers have come over
into the retailers' field.
All the wholesalers in the city except one agreed to
protect the retailer, and because that

one house stands out, the whole field is

divided. As the matter stands, the trade
in builders' hardware is in a ridiculous
condition. Retailers are ordering, a,nd in
cases are receiving, contracts for
the supply of goods to builders, but the
profits are very low.
Should all the
wholesale houses sell solely to the retailers, both the wholesale and retail
branches would be greatly benefited.
The markets are quite firm on the
general lines. Wholesalers report trade
being encouraging, as far as orders are
concerned. At this particular season the

are anything but heavy.
Notwithstanding this, however, wholesalers axe not
holding stocks. Money is coming plentifully and very soon.
Wheat at one
dollar a bushel means as much to the
wholesale hardware dealer as it does to
the farmer.
Everybody is hopeful.

the success that has attended the careful study of conditions
in
ordinary
steam generation and the merits of high
grade house heating apparatus, one can
safely say that the wastes in domestic
heating can be very largely reduced, and
in the interest of the householder, and
of the coal supply as well, effective improvements in ordinary apparatus ought
to be put in practice.
Obviously the
conditions of heat utilization in domestic apparatus are quite similar to those
found in general, yet the differences are
significant and worthy of study.
Perhaps the most conspicuous difference is the primary requirement in domestic heating that the apparatus shall
run continuously with a minimum of at

frequent firing seems to be the
chief
stumbling block in furnace (firebox) design.
An ordinary boiler used in a
power plant is planned with reference
to steady firing, with reserve capacity
for forcing if necessary.
A domestic
furnace of whatever kind must be able
to work efficiently when running practically banked for hours at a time, and

It must
have more reserve capacity than the boilers in an electric light plant, with the
special additional requirement of very
economical working at light loads.
It
is in operation, say, 3,000 to 4,000 hours
per year in the climate of the northern
United States, and during 80 per cent, of
this time it is running perhaps at only
two or three tenths of its full required

Yet why should one not burn coal at

$3 or $3.50 a ton instead of at $6 to $7
a ton? The difference in thermal value
is hardly more than 10 per cent, and the
efficiency of utilization ought to be quite
as great in one case as the other.
In
fact, the soft coal would probably show
less combustible mixed with the ashes
than the anthracite. In some parts of
the country the soft coal is already freely used and the experiments on smokeless combustion at the University of Illinois demonstrated that such fuel could
be burned, even for domestic purposes,
with little or no smoke. In order to gain
this advantage the firebox design has to
be modified, but to no extraordinary extent, so that there is no good reason why
it should not be done and cheap fuel

of the world, in fact, gets along very

whatever the form of the heating. Hot
water heating, very desirable on account
of its thermal stability due to the great
heat capacity of the water, is difficult
to force and steam is hard to run low, so

This view is strengthened by

MINERAL SURFACE
NEEDS NO PAINTING
AMATITE

roofs need no painting. The owner need never look at them

they take care <f themselves.
They are "no-trouble" roofs. They
present to the weather a real mineral urfac against which storm and
wind and snow are absolutely powerless. This surface does not require constant painting like the smooth surfaced or so called "rubber" roofings. The
mineral surface is far better than piint.
Of course before Amatite came, the "smooth surfaced" roofings yere
the best kind 10 buy. Now that Amatite has been invented and thoroughly
tested by years of use, paint ng a roof is wasteful and unnecessary. The cost
of painting a "rubber" roofing from year to year will >oon cost more than the
roof itself. That is why everybody who knows about roofing is buying Amatite
nowadays. It needs no pointing.
Amatite is easy to lay. Anyone can do the work. Large headed nails and
liquid cement come free with every roll.
We shall take pleasure in sending you a sample of Amatite with our
compliments upon request. Address our nearest office.

Splendid Program of Entertainment to be Provided Visiting Hardwaremen

A
Some Hardwaremen to go by Rail Report
Social Event Long to be Remembered
to be Made by Secretary Program Outlined for next February's Convention at
London.

Favorable weather is the only remaining condition requisite to making the

Retail Hardware Association excursion
to Montreal next week the greatest social
event in the history of the hardware
trade in Canada.
The party will number well over the
hundred mark and will include a sufficient number of ladies, traveling salesmen, wholesalers and manufacturers to
make it thoroughly representative of the
hardware trade, the time is most favorable, the boat is the best passenger craft
on Lake Ontario and the R. & O. route
through the Thousand Islands and down
the rapids is considered the most picturesque and exciting in any part of the
world.
Nothing remains, therefore to
make the trip enjoyable and long remembered except a week of seasonable
summer weather.
The program of entertainment has
been well arranged, the civic officials cooperating with the committee of manufacturers and wholesalers who had the
matter in charge.
In addition to the
features included on the official program, there will be one or two additions
regarding which the committee do not
desire to make an announcement at present.

This is important.
A meeting of the members of the Retail Hardware Association will be held

The office of Hardware and
Metal is on St. James street, a couple
of blocks west of St. Lawrence Hall.
The Gillette Safety 'Razor Co. of Canada, Montreal, ha.ve issued an invitation
to members of the Ontario Retail Hardware Association to visit their factory
during the visit to Montreal and to make
use of the office as a mail point.
They
are also extending the courtesies of the
office staff in any correspondence that
the members may wish to make.
To
facilitate matters the Gillette Company
have issued a pass and direction card so
that there shall be no trouble in locating and gaining admittance to the office

the Ontario association is receiving many
courtesies at the hands of our powerful
sister associations in the U.S.

The Montreal excursion has meant

considerable work, but it ought to be a
big advertisement for the association.
After making full enquiries into the
matter, it was decided that the excursion
if conducted at all should be by water
and your committee was fortunate in
securing a low rate by the Richelieu &
Ontario boats, being greatly aided in
this by Mr. George Caverhili, Montreal,
chairman of the executive board of
the R. & O. company.
It is gratifying
to be able to report that the association
will be under no expense for bills, postage, etc., and that the association will
likely have a small balance to the good
on the excursion.

At the last executive meeting it was

decided to secure the services of an

The secretary submits this

"It has occurred to me that the association might get out a standard form
for estimates of costs on plumbing and
furnace work.
I suppose that every
one who figures these jobs, at some time

on account of there being so few used

me a copy of a form for estimating

Listowel, and if you think favorably of
the matter I would be glad to get up
one for furnace estimates also and you
could gef an estimate for printing these.
There is also the matter of a good lien

of members.

to the general public, to give any one
retail
firm the power
to concentrate
the sale of school books
in its own
hands by making the sale of them by
any other dealers unprofitable. Evidently this is what may be done under the
contract. The Eaton Company has the
legal right to refuse to sell books to retail dealers at any but the retail price.
Probably it will take advantage of this
right. The
result will
be that retail
dealers will be obliged, for the convenience of the public, to sell school readers at a loss, or the people of Ontario
will be obliged to buy their readers from
the Eaton company only. Such a condition would entail a great deal of inconvenience.
The
contract should
have stipulated that the contracting
firm must sell the readers to t^c retail
trade at a reasonable discount. Tho ob-

Dr.
Co. Hon.
Pyne, Minister of Education, cannot fail
to recogniz,e, in the face of this latest
evidence that it would be only reasonable to the hundreds of retailers throughout the country to take such steps as
may be necessary to prevent the discharge of the contract in the manner described. As
already
pointed out the
government can stipulate that the imprint of the Educational Department be
placed upon the books instead of that of
the T. Eaton Co. The Education Department also has the power to take
over the distribution of these books. By
requiring the observance of these clauses
in the contract, the department would
greatly modify an evil foreseen by country retailers, and one which is already
taking actual form, judging from the

Shippers' Opinions as to the

Interviewed by

Hardware and Metal as to their opinions

of the new bill of lading approved by tho
Railway Commission, which comes into
effect on October 1 next, a number of representative Toronto shippers expressed
themselves as heartily approving of the

new form.
P. C. Larkin, of the Saiada Tea Co.,
thought the bill "an excellent one; much
better than the United States uniform
bill of lading, and infinitely superior to
the old form, it will replace." The placing of responsibility on the railroads in
case Shipments are destroyed at destination point before delivery is one feature
wherein the new Canadian contract is
superior to the United States form.

"Across the border the railroads as

a usual thing do not deliver goods as
here in Canada, and after 48 hours notification to sonsignee the railroad will
not be responsible for damage or loss
to goods.
Under the new Canadian bill,
delivery being provided for the railroad
will be responsible even after the 48
hours. All the clauses seem fair, though
(he third section may prove to be either
favorable or unfavorable; time will tell.
The third section says that carriers shall
not be liable for loss, damage or delay,
'caused by the act of God,' etc. Now
the 'act of God' may mean a lot of
things, and the railroads may seek a
loophole.
It all depends on the interpretation placed upon it. How it could
be bettered I do not know at present;
and perhaps on the whole, it is the best

the complaints are very few.
We have
to apply to the railway for the rate in

the circumstances.
There were many
points that were intricate and knotty,
but he thought these might be simplified in time.
In one direction until international trade and
commerce was
more unified there would be obstacles in
the way.
For instance, a consignment
of goods from Greece to Toronto might
be handed to the G. T. R. at Portland,
in a damaged condition.
The railway
would accept the goods giving a receipt
to the ocean steamer specifying the damage.
The only recourse the consignee
has at present is to sue for indemnity
in Greece, the expenses of which might
cost much more than the case would be
worth. As to insurance of shipments by
railroads, that is practically covered by
one section of the new bill of lading, at
least the carrying companies are responsible for damage up to 48 hours after
they arrive at destination, which really
means that the consignee is insured.

METAL MARKET.

York, Aug. 19.

The Iron Age

says: The event of the week is the opening by the United States Steel Corporation of its books for 1910 delivery on
steel rails, and the acceptance of orders
from a few Western roads aggregating
20-0,000 tons.
The quantity ordered byone of these roads is unusually large,
and indicates that the demand upon the
mills for next year will be more than
normal.
To the steel industry at large
this points to very favorable conditions
for the coming year.
It will strengthen the conviction which
has been gaining ground throughout the
whole industry that ample, and possiblymore than ample employment is coming
into sight.
In some branches, however,
the
price
movement will bear close
watching in view of the possibility of
importations under the new tariff rates.
Even to-day we are not far away from
the chance of profitable importations of
pig iron on the Atlantic Coast, and
American merchants have already purchased pig iron warrants abroad. Tinpig iron so purchased may be actually
brought over later on or the warrants
sold at a profit should the markets then*
advance
in
sympathy with our own,
which they so often do. In other words,
if
they lag behind us in the advance,
foreign pig iron will come in.
The principal feature in the pig iron
markets is the continued activity in basic
pig in the east, where a positive scarcity
has developed for prompt delivery. The
demands for this year'even do not seem

Aug. 20. The week opened quietly,

very little trading taking place. Local
orders held off because of rain and cloudy
weather, and country demands called for
small lots of ready mixed paints. As the
week wore along, however, trading became more active, and while passing

a century, the standard lead of

Farmers are busy

in

their fields,

and

are not buying in the country, and the

larger centres, where building has been
indulged in are holding off, because of
the holiday season, which travelers and
merchants are taking advantage of.
Painters are busy, however, and from
present indications will likely be pushed
if the winter sets in early.
The local
feature is the preparation being made for
the forthcoming exhibition.
This has
made a call for signwriters, and a slight
demand for the better grades of dry
paints.

Indications

pointed to higher prices, for England is

still quoting stiff figures and across the
border the markets are fairly firm. The
Indian seed crop while larger than a
year ago was not so great as was anticipated, and Europe is now speculating on
Argentine seed.
The prospects in the
United States are for cheaper seed, and
this is perhaps the brightest feature of
the situation.
Here in Canada jobbers
think the price of oil has been forced
down to create the impression that the
market is easy and that seed is not worth
the price the farmers are holding out for.

DIRECTORY OF MANUFACTURERS
Hardware and Metal receives, almost daily, enquiries for the names of manufacturers of various lines.
These enquiries come from wholesalers, munufacturers and retail dealers, who usually intimate they
have looked through Hardware and Metal but cannot find any firm advertising the line in question.
In many cases these firms are anxious to secure the information at once. This page enables manufacturers to keep constantly before the trade lines which it would not pay to advertise in larger space.

is a lesson for every merchant

the experience told by a representative of a Chicago mail order house to a
gathering of newspaper men.
He said
that
the mail order business depended
entirely upon advertising and that the
mail order
merchants took the local
papers and directed their special efforts
to
communities where the merchants
were not up-to-date advertisers. If the
mail order men find anv line of business
in any town or city is not well advertised, he said that thev flood that territory with their literature, and alwavs
with satisfactory results.
He believed
that country merchants could sreatlv
cripple
the mail order houses if thev
would advertise freely and in the ri<rht
manner.
He said that every advertisement should describe the articles to be
sold, and state the prices.

the printed months suffice for the thi'ee
sections. To the right of the months are
drawn two vertical lines, extending the

length of the page and respectively head-

ed "purchases" and "payments."

Each month, as statements are sent
out the totals for each customer are
atered with black ink in the purchase
column opposite the month in which the
purchase is made. As payments are received they are posted in red ink in the
next column in the same manner.
White, for example, buys $175 worth
of goods during the month of May. This
amount is posted in the May section of
the purchase column. Later in the month
White pays $136 on account, and this
amount is entered in red ink in the May
division of the payment column directly
opposite the entry of his purchase. Thus
at a glance we note that in May, White
'has bought goods amounting to $175,
upon which he has paid $136, leaving a
balance due of $39.

of goods and make a payment of $150.

Both items are entered as in the preceding month. Still a glance at the book
shows that White is $39 back on the
May bill and $30 on the June bill, a
total of $69. Knowing this, the house follows him up until the deficit is paid.
This score book serves both as a customers' list and a ready reference
ledger.
Duplicate copies of it go to
heads of departments, who use it in
watching the individual accounts, comparing sales, and in judging the work of
men on the road.
To the sales manager, the score book
is particularly important, for by running through its pages, be learns exactly
bow the month's sales and payments
stand for each customer. If, by glancing down the column, he finds that White
has not bought anything in the month
of April, he writes the agent or traveling salesman in that locality to learn the
reason why. Or, if be thinks White is

buying too heavily, he has White 's credit

investigated.
By comparing the record
with the score book of the previous year,
he is able to determine wbere sales are
falling off and to learn the cause; to
ginger up salesmen, whose records show
a decline and likewise to give credit to
those whose sales have increased.

bill is simple.
It contains
only 11 sections as compared with 21 in
the old bill. An important point is this:
Tha,t it imposes on the carrying companies additional obligations; making
them responsible for negligence in transport or delivery; and it also makes the
initial carrier responsible for a consignment of goods to destination, even
though the goods pass over other lines
in Canada; or the goods are handled by
U. S. or other foreign companies with
which there is a joint traffic arrangement. This is a great gain for shippers,

TWO TOOLS

A new combination

tool which

a long-felt want has been patented
by a Louisiana man. This is a combination hammer and screwdriver, and.
unlike some of the multiplex affairs, it
can be used as satisfactorily in either
capacity as a single instrument.
The
hammer has a hollow handle into which
the screwdriver bit slides.
It
is
so
arranged that when the bit is not in
use it disappears in the handle and is
kept in place there. When the bit is
needed it slides forth and is again made
fast in the position desired. In fastening screws it is often necessary to hammer them in a little way before screwing them.
This gives them a better
purchase on the wood. Therefore, it is
necessary to
have both hammer and
screwdriver, and the operation is much
simplified when both tools are in one.

carpenter finds it necessary to use nails
in one place and screws in another, and

having to go to his kit each time for a

look at that batch of wheels sent in for

more wheels so far this summer, than I

said, "I have sold over forty new wheels
this summer, while last year I only sold
twenty wheels altogether."
AH the repair shops have been busy.
The revival in this sport has been the
cause of many wheels being hauled out,

estimating
daily figures submitted by the builders'
exchange office, the total of new permits
issued for the current month will be well
over the million dollar mark, which will
give a sum total for the first seven
months of the year of $6,462,450. This
amount will be for a total of about 1,900
new structures. At the end of July last
year there were 1,022 permits for $3,823,000, so that the present building
record is about double that of last year.

Speculators in Manitoba are interested

the recent oil finds in North Dakota.
The interest increases on account of the
prospects for oil and gas within the
province in territory located near Dauphin. It is believed that there is oil and
gas in abundance in southern Manitoba,
and if prospectors meet with success,
another great industrv will open up in
the West.

where thousands of people pass daily,

recognize the advantage of having attractive windows, and considerable attention is given this important factor of
advertising.
One may think that hardware does not lend itself very well to
window dressing, but when one thinks a
moment there is as good if not better
material than is possessed by the average
grocery store, especially since there is
nothing to spoil. Some ingenious ideas
are worked out by the local dealers,

which are creditable to the designers and

should attract prospective customers.
A company has been formed here to
take over the business of McDougall &
Jenkins, boiler-makers, machinists and
engineers of Victoria and Vancouver.
The new company, to be known as the
McDougall-Jenkins Co., will
erect a
plant which will be unsurpassed in the
province. Machinery will be installed to
enable the plant to handle all kinds of
shipping and general engineering work,
which is on the increase here just now.
The former members of the firm will be
retained.
The council of North Vancouver will give the company special consideration in the way of freedom from

dealers may realize the need of it, but

nevertheless run the tinshop on the old

"hand-to-mouth" plan, feeling satis-

"break even" when, by

management, they could
make the tinshop pay a profit.
Every hardware dealer who has a tinsimp should have in his bookkeeping syslied

they

tem

separate account for the tinshop.

The tinshop should occupy a separate

ion of his ledger, with a heading,
'Shop and Repairs Account," or somepi irt

thing similar.

Under
made of

this heading, entries should

be

expenses, receipts and disbursements for the benefit of that department.

All material purchased for
the tinshop should be charged to this account at cost price. Wages of shop employes and a just proportion of the expanses of the department, based upon
the total cost of doing business, should
also be charged up to the tinshop.
On the credit side of the ledger should
be placed all money received for inside
and outside work, plumbing, setting up
furnaces, repair jobs, etc. If you manufacture an article in the tinshop and then
place it in the store to be sold, credit
the cost price of that article to the tinshop the same as if you had bought it
from an outside concern. This is the
only safe way.
By keeping a separate account of tinshop and labor transactions the hard
ware dealer will accomplish several important things; he will be able to keep
tab on all work done in the tinshop to
better advantage; he can tell whether
that shop is making or losing him money;
he can learn to charge a price commensurate with the work done a price in
which there is a profit; and he also has
a check on the tinshop which is invaluable in case of fire, or other loss.

RECOVERING TIN FROM SCRAP.

A new and simple method of recovering tin from tin plate scrap, tin cans,
etc., has been patented by a PensylvanIt is described as follows:
ia man.
The
method consists of treating the scrap
with yellow ammonium sulphide.
The
scrap is immersed in a tank containing
water, then some ammonium sulphide is
added and the whole heated until the
tin is removed.
The tin dissolves in the
solution and the bare iron is left.
The
tin is recovered by adding hydrochloric
acid to the solution after it has become
inactive which precipitates it as sulphide
mixed with more or less sulphur. At the
same time ammonium chloride is formed

(sal-ammoniac). The solution is filtered

and the sal-ammoniac recovered by evap-

The sulphide of tin is roasted, after having been dried, and oxide of tin is formed, which may be sold or the tin recovered.

capital has now been provided to the
amount of $100,000 and the company has
agreed with the municipality to operate
for two years a four hot mill plant employing 200 men and for an additional
two years a six hot mill plant employing
250 men. The village leases the power
plant to the corporation for 36 years and
assigns it the water rights secured from
the Dominion government.
The company is also to have the right to put up
electric lines on the street and to operate trolley cars for the transportation of
freight between the mill and the wharf.
The village is to pay the company $30,000, while the latter undertakes to settle
the claim of the power plant contractor.
The village waives two-thirds of the general taxes against the mill property.
The Sheet Steel Corporation has remodeled its plant, and instead of making

of black

galvanized sheets for building purposes.

TURPENTINE The

turpentine market at Savannah has remained firm and

prices are higher than anyone anticipated at the beginning of the season.
The crop for the year 1909, of turpentine and rosin is believed to be less than
it has been at 'any
tiime since 1907.
Most parties put it at 10 per cent less
than last year; some say it is as much as
Under these conditions,
20 per cent.
with an improvement in trade such as is
anticipated in the United States, now
that the matters of their tariff have been
settled, it is believed that there will be
general improvement in all classes of

manufactured goods and that in this way

sprits of turpentine will be further affected and prices may be looked for to
continue at the present high market, and
very likely to advance in the month of
September. The market quotation given
by the majority of houses is 72c for
single barrels. The lowest price offered
was 69c. Some jobbers are said to be
cutting as a few sales are reported between these figures.
Trading on the
whole is very light.

In selling floor paints a successful retailer gives his method as follows:

"I have, nailed together some painted
boards with the surface very much worn
and marred to represent a section of an
old painted floor.
Half of this surface
is nicely painted over to show by contrast what a coat of floor paint will do.
This is displayed conspicuously in my
window together with some packages of
the goods, display cards showing colors,
etc., and right in front where it can be
easily seen I have placed a large card
reading about as follows: "Your shabby
floor can be improved in the same way,
with a coat of floor paint at a cost of \
cent per square foot." It is an effective
ad. and brings results.

ORIGIN OF WHISK BROOMS.

"Do you know," said an old broommaker, "that the whole broom trade of
America, amounting as it does to many
millions of dollars every year, originated
from a single broom seed, planted by
one of the greatest men that ever lived
in America.

"A

few years before the Revolutionary War a lady in England sent to a

friend in Philadelphia
a little whisk
broom, then regarded as a curiosity. She
was showing it to Benjamin Franklin,
who noticed near the end of one of the
straws, a single seed, that by oversight
had been left on the stem. He asked the
lady's

permission to take it off; then

of the season was delighted with both

HARDWARE AND METAL.

MINERAL SURFACE
NEEDS NO PAINTING
AMATITE

roofs need no painting. The owner need never look al them

they take care of themselves.
They are "no-trouble" roofs. They
present to the weather a real mineral surface against which storm and
wind and snow are absolutely powerless. This surface does not require constant painting like the smooth surfaced or so-called "rubber" roofings. The
mineral surface is far better than paint.
Of course before Amatite came, the "smooth surfaced" roofings jvere
the belt kind to buy.
Now that Amatite has been invented and thoroughly
tested by years of use, painting a roof is wasteful and unnecessary. The cost
of painting a "rubber" roofing from year to year will soon cost more than the
roof itself. That is why everybody who knows about roofing is buying Amatite
nowadays. It needs no ptintine.
Amatite is easy to lay. Anyone can do the work. Large headed nails and
liquid cement come free with every roll.
We shall take pleasure in sending you a sample of Amatite with our
compliments upon request. Address our nearest office.

Are you aware that the

METALLIC SHINGLES are the best steel
shingles on the market?
Now we are not claiming anything we cannot prove.
"EASTLAKE" STEEL SHINGLES were produced twenty-five years ago long
before any other steel shingle. The roofs that were covered with "Eastlake " shingles that first
year are to-day in as good shape as when they were laid never having needed repairs.
No other galvanized steel shingle can even claim such a record. Remember this fact when

Up to the present time about seventylive reservations have been made and a
sufficient number of others have signitied their intention of going to ensure
the party numbering over the hundred

who are planning to join the party
should secure their reservations at once.
As has been stated before, the rate of
$19 is the lowest quoted for many years

Manufacturer's Contract Selling

The Declaration That Wholesale Distributors Are Required to Take to Provide Against Secret Rebate ? and
Other Similar Considerations This Must be Taken Under Oath What a Refusal and Violation Means
Something for the Retail Trade to Study.
1

Arising out of the same conditions as

Secret
for the passing of The
Commissions Act which was explained
in a recent issue of this paper the agreement between the manufacturer who
sells his products at a stipulated price
and the wholesale distributor, has been
supplemented by a clause requiring a
declaration under oath that the prices
so stipulated should be adhered to. This
declaration just now is causing considerable interest among retailers as well
as manufacturers and wholesalers.
The agreement has always prohibited
any salesman either principal, traveler
or agent from selling the goods at less
than the manufacturers' fixed prices. It
has also provided against the giving of
rebates, cash or any other consideration whatever to assist in the sale of
goods.
But these conditions have not been
rigidly adhered to and hence it became
to
do something to secure
necessary
their proper observance. This declaration has therefore been introduced into
the agreement under the Contract Selling Plan with the hope that the demoralization of the market should be restored to healthy conditions.
The following is a model agreement
containing the supplemented clause referring to the declaration.

In 1832 at the time of the cholera

epidemic, Joseph Frothingham died, and
shortly afterwards a new partnership
was formed with A. F. Marshall, under
the name of Frothingham & Marshall.
This partnership was
continued
until
1836, when the firm was dissolved, Mr.
Frothingham purchasing Mr. Marshall's
interests.
At this time Mr. Frothingham took into partnership, Wm. Workman, under the name of Frothingham &
Workman, and although many subsequent changes in partnership took place,
the name of the firm has remained unchanged ever since.

Household requisites have been done without, and

VISIT

OTHER TOWNS.

An exchange suggests that merchants

should take a day off occasionally and
go to some strange town where they can
study windows and store interiors, unbiased by the prejudices and preferences
that always warp our judgment in the
midst of our own business acquaintances.
Besides, whole towns sometimes get into
a single rut; and then again, whole
towns not far away may be most wondrously enterprising or may release their
surplus energy along channels new to us.
In the home town we can never get
quite away from the tradesman's end of
the telescope. In a strange place we are
only one of the gazing crowd and we see
things from a different point of view.

construction that we have been guilty

If one of our neighbors dared to call attention to it we would say to ourselves,
"Oh, well, that is only old Mossback's

window dressing? He never dressed a

in his life."
The criticism of a

"The

bicycle trade is betyear than it has been for two

or three years," remarked D. H. Douglas, of Geo. Stephens A: Douglas' hardware store this afternoon. "The trouble
with the trade has always been the presence of so many second-hand wheels on
the market. The
collapse
of the big
bicycle craze about 1808 fairly Hooded
the market
with wheels,
and for five
years after that they were a noticeable
feature. Gradually, however, they have
been wearing

result is that
people have to buy new wheels or else
give up riding and

Encouragement has recentbeen given to the promoters of the
National
Centennial
Exposition by a
promise from the Manitoba Government
oi a subsidj of ^250,000.
The estimates
total
about $5,500,000' as a sufficient
sum to permit of an exposition which
will
do
credit
to the Dominion
of
Canada. It is decidedly noticeable that
those who are the chief promoters of
the exposition arc men who have a supreme interest in a rapid increase of
the population
and that there is a derided reticence
on the part of retail
merchants everywhere to support any
scheme which may mean a severe setback to the retail trade of the country.
It is acknowledged that the men
who
have served the city most ably in the
past,
are
men who operate a retail
business. The wisdoms and judgement
of the retail merchants are not questioned in discussing any other item of
interest to the city generally. Yet
it
must be admitted that the merchants
of the city have not given their unanimous support to a cause which is at
present vitally interesting financial and
real estate brokers, and further some
of our merchants have taken a decided
stand in rtie matter and claim that the
city is
rushinginto an affair which
will cost her dearly in years to come,
when the moncv market is weak and
trade generally
is
restrained.
The
merchants are justified in referring to
Chicag-o
and St. Louis and several
other cities where great fairs were held,
as instances of
terrible aftermath.
a
One merchant said that "if the centennial is a sure thing I will sell my business for 75 cents
on
the dollar
I
would rather do that than have it go
down, as it surely will for several
years after such a strain as the city
will be obliged to suffer.
The merchants
at least have a right to be consulted
on the matter.
And the promotors
would be wise in takin? heed to the
objectionable features
of
such an exposition as well as the most promising.
The cautious attitude of the Dominion Government in sunnortino- the

FIFTY YEARS OF PETROLEUM.

Fifty years ago the petroleum industry
this country was unknown, says the
Paint, Oil and Drug Review. A little
oil was
produced from pools
or oil
springs and was sold for medicine, but
the supply from this source was
not
sufficient for illuminating purposes. Coal
oil was distilled from certain oleaginous
shales and had already come into general
use as an illuminant when Colonel Drake,
in August, 1859, drilled the first oil well
in the world, near Titusville, Pa., and
there demonstrated the possibility of sein

curing oil by tapping the hidden natural

reservoirs from which the oil seeps came.
Soon the process of distillation was discovered and from that time on the progress of the petroleum industry in this
country and the world has been steadily
onward, until now the crude product in
America alone is valued at over $130,000,000 a year, and the exports of relined petroleum and by-products exceed
in value $100,000,000 annually. The oil
producing industry has spread over the
world, the
large
producing countries
outside the United States being Russia,
Austria and Mexico.
The fiftieth anniversary of the discovery
of oil
will be celebrated next
month. It is not easy to estimate the
effects
of the use
of petroleum in the
fifty years that have elapsed since that
well was driven nown at Titusville. The
oil
lamp has supplanted candles and
whale oil
the gasoline engine is supplanting
in
many places steam the
automobile is driving out horses, and
the first billionaire
has arrived. That
billionaire sprang from the
Titusville
oil well.
Aviation
was rendered possible by Colonel Drake when he drilled"
that
well. No
man exceeded Colonel
Drake in drilling better than he knew.
He is dead and gone, but before he left
these earthly
scenes
he had laid the
foundation for more changes in material
things than he could enumerate on his
fingers and his toes combined.
;

PRESERVATION OF FENCE POSTS.

The Forest Service, in its study of
prolonging the life of fence posts, has
found cheap and simple methods of preserving them in a sound condition for
an indefinite time, even though they are
the poorest and naturally least durable
woods.
Decay is not a simple process like the
crumbling of stone or the rusting of
iron. It is caused by low forms of plant
life which thoroughly permeate the wood,
discolor it and cause it to become disconnected and
"rotten." To preserve
the timber in a thoroughly sound condition, it is only necessary to render the
wood unfit for the growth of these organisms. This is done by injecting into
it substances poisonous to plant life.
One of the most widely used preservatives is creosote, one of the by-products
of coal tar.
When it is injected into the
wood, decay will be retarded indefinitely
and an old-field pine or a cottonwood
fence post, when properly treated, will
easily
twenty years or
give a life of
longer.
Such a preservative treatment
costs
about 10 cents per post. The
creosote can be applied by painting the
wood with a brush or dipping it into
the liquid, but much better results will
actually injected
be obtained if
it is
into the wood instead of merely coating
the outside. If the "brush" method, or
painting is used, the creosote should be
applied at a temperature of about 180
degrees F. Two coats should be given
at least twenty-four hours apart. If the
posts are dipped directly into the preservative, the creosote should be heated
to about the same temperature. The
best results of all can be obtained by
first heating the posts in a bath of hot
then either transferring
creosote
and
them quickly to a bath of creosote at
a lower temperature ot else shutting off
the heat and allowing the posts to remain in the oil as it cools. By such a
method the sapwood will become thoroughly permeated with the creosote.

ROOFING

Pilch

The Mineral Surface

Most roofings are made of only one layer, but Amatite is made vafive layers. The bottom layer is wool felt, the next is real Coal
Tar Pitch, the third is wool felt, the fourth is pitch again, into which is embedded the fifth layer, namely, the mineral surface. If the
weather should, in the course of years, wear away the mineral surface and dispose of the layer of Pitch (which is the most waterproof
substance Oil earth), it would still have to penetrate a layer of felt and another layer of composition and another of felt before the roof
would leak. It is easy to see why Amatite lasts so long when you realize how it is made. That mineral surface requires no painting or
coating whatever, and will take the brunt of the weather without renewal or attention or care. Send for a sample of Amatite. It's free.

expressions of hearty approval

when informally explained at a recent
meeting of the Chatham Merchants Association.

The "Douglas idea" sugests the establishment in every city, town or other
centre of business, what might be called
a Hardwaremen 's Exchange. The father
of the idea is Donald H. Douglas, junior
partner of the Chatham hardware firm
of Geo. Stephens & Douglas. This firm is
one of the oldest and most prominent
in Western Ontario: and Mr. Douglas
himself is a practical and experienced
hardwareman.

THE HARDWARE CLERK.

Ottawa, July 25. Is the desire for

business ability or commercial ambition
less to-day than it was a few years ago?
Do our young men of the present time
appreciate the importance of applicato
tion and concentration as applied
the workings of commerce? If a young
man apprentices himself to a hardware
merchant there should be every intention
on his part to not only observe all rules
of business, learn everything about the
vocation, but also to assist in every
manner possible the advancement of his
employer's business, for in so doing he
really sows seeds of reward for himself.
"As ye sow, so shall ye reap,"
is a
true saying and is forcibly evi-

denced in commercial life daily.

Punctuality is the first essential to a
promising clerk.
Always on time and
ready for business renders a clerk's
services doubly appreciable.
When a
customer enters a store there should be
every effort made to promptly and courteously interrogate
his purposes and
competently assist in the execution of his
desires.

Don't wait to see who will make the

"forward" or await the call. Be
on the spot without delay and show by
your manner that you wish to please
the customer as well as further your
employer's interests.
Know the goods! Know your stock!

Chatham, and other places have adopted
a novel scheme for disposing of small
which, it seems, is capable of
being adapted to the handling of small
hardware and tinware articles where the
latter are of a fairly uniform price.
Each article is enclosed in a sealed
paper bag, and the entire bunch placed
in a large box, which is displayed usually
in the window, with an accompaiment of
appropriately worded sign cards. Anyone paying 25c takes a "grab" that is
has his choice of the sealed packets.
Interest is stimulated by announcing that.
a ring or other valuable article, probably
worth $2, is enclosed in one of
the
packets.
The others contain articles
worth approximately the purchase price,
25c.
The purchaser thus gets full value
for his money in any case, and stands
the chance of securing considerably more.
The scheme is chiefly valuable as a
help in moving out old stock, or lines
for which the sale proves slow. In stores
where it has been tried as an experiment,
it frequently continues as a regular feaarticles

TRICKS IN MAKING SALES.

Kingston,
July 22. Dan MacQninn,
who runs a general merchandise store in
a nearby country town, conducts more
bargain and special sales than all Ihe
other merchants put together, and the
seemingly strange part of it is that he
makes a big success out of every sale.
Dan is a, heavy advertiser and spends

newspapers announcing

sive

hardware merchant realizes that the

penalty of letting buyers go elsewhere

for popular-priced merchandise is that,
being there, they will also purchase the
better things.

There may be satisfaction to one's

pride in handling nothing but high-class
wares, but there is satisfaction to one's
pocket in selling what the people want.
Moreover, the handling of popular-priced
goods need not hurt the sa.le of the better grades, but, on the other hand, maybe made the means of increasing the
sale of the higher-priced articles by increasing the popularity of the store.
In the earliest stages of considering
what can be done to increase your business you find yourself fa.ee to face with
the fact that about all the everyday trading is done by women. Nowadays men
have neither inclination nor time to do
any considerable amount of shopping,

and have come

to

depend

upon

their

wives to do this for them. The important thing to do, then, is to introduce
into your store some feature that will
make it a popular trading centre for the
women of your town. For this purpose
there is nothing better than an up-todate homegoods department,
including
the popular-priced specialties of your
own lines, together with chinaware,
glassware, crockery, lamps, woodenware,
brushes and other home needs too numerous to mention.
At first your homegoods department
need be but a single counter.

Crockery will also fit in well with a

hardware stock. A moderate investment
will secure a good selection.
Lamps and lamp goods constitute a
profitable side line that is good all the
year and particularly- good during the
fall and winter.
As little as $25 will
provide a good assortment,
including
chimneys, mantles,

etc.

Glassware is a stock that appeals to

everyone in all seasons and it never goes
out of style. Usually each article looks
to be worth more than the price at which
you can afford to sell it. Each piece,
kept clean, helps to give a bright look
to your store.

dishes, toothpick holders, tumblers, wine

all of which are nice enough to look well

briskness of the building trade in Halifax this summer created a heavy demand for builders' supplies, and also
for cement, the sales of the latter being very heavy.

The strike in the coal collieries in Cape

Breton is having a very adverse effect
on business throughout the eastern part
of the province. The companies are slack
in taking delivery of pit timbers and
other materials, and as a consequence

The work of constructing the new coke

ovens for the Dominion Iron & Steel
Co. has been started by the United Coke
Co., of New York, who have been awarded the contract for the work. The work
of excavating has been commenced and
the ovens will be rushed to completion.
The number of ovens to be constructed
is 120.
The new oven is of a different
type and has a much greater capacity
for coking than the old one.
The new
additions will take care of one thousand tons of coke daily, and when this
is done it will enable the Steel Co. at

of agricultural implements at provincial

and also the acquisition of the steamship service between Halifax and Charlottetown as part of the I.C.R. system.

The north end of the city for some

remove to more congenial districts.

hardware merchants that remain. J. R.

many years in that district reports his

July 24. Building, which is steadily

going on, last week's permits amounting

giving plenty of work to hardwaremen
and plumbers. Those who make a specialty of builders' materials find that

with an increasing population the general demand for hardware is better than
ever.
Hi
the plumbing line all are busy,
with prices perhaps a little tight. Many
workmen have their eyes turned toward
this part of Canada at present, and a
leading plumber told Hardware and
Metal that none but first-class mechanics
should come out.
There was room for
these, but only the best were wanted,

Don't Get "Notions" About

SELLING BY SYSTEM.
Writing in the American Paint am}
Oil Dealer on paint selling by system, H.
('. Bradford says,
in part:
Formerly the
public was greatly prejudiced against the
use of ready-mixed paint, for some unscrupulous manufacturers flooded
the
market with worthless mixtures, and the
honest makers were thereby greatly
handicapped, since a customer once
cheated is very prone to look with distrust on everything of the same class.
Now, however, the reverse is the case.
The majority of the paint-buying and
using public not only have no prejudice
against ready-mixed goods, but really
favor them, as against hand-made mixtures of lead and oil.
The work of the
manufacturers along this line, in educating the public to the value of machine
mixing as opposed to hand mixing has
been productive of the most gratfying
results.
That this has also been of equal
or even greater advantage to the dealer
goes without saying. Not only are readypnized goods cheaper to handle and keep,
and offer good opportunities for display;

It was no
wonder, then, that the advent of readymixed paint was hailed with satisfaction
by every one. The dealers brushed down
the cobwebs, washed the windows, and,
seeing how attractive the packages were,
placed them where the public could see
them, and began to be prosperous.
The preliminaries arranged, and the

Another good point is to have a photograph taken of every house painted with
your paint. They need be only photos
taken by some one in the store, but
should show as much detail of the house,
as possible.
Mount these photos in an
album, writing under each the name of
the owner and the date the paint was applied.
This book will increase in value
with each succeeding year, as you can
show your customers photos of houses
painted a number of years before, and
this will serve to impress them with the
durability and popularity of the paint.

that way, or at least nearlly all. It will,
of course, be necessary to carry a small
stock of cheap papers to meet the instant demand, but all sales of importance,
can be made from sample. Have a lot
of sample books made up, so that a
person can readily see the combinations,
and understand the price.

This local advance is due to the
further advances in the Savannah market, exceeding the expectations of Toronto jobbers, so that they are left with
very light stocks. The reasons given for
the advance in the market at Savannah
are that there has been a greater demand
than was expected for export to Great
Britain and further that the weather
has been very unfavorable for the production of turpentine; the stock on hand
has been very materially decreased within the past two weeks and is now only

Wool Felt

ROOFING

Pitch

The Minora! Surface

Most roofings arc made of only one layer, but Amatite is made mfive layers. The bottomjlayer is wool felt, the next is real Coal
Tar Pitch, the third is wool felt, the fourth is pitch again, into which is embedded the fifth layer, namely, the mineral surface. If the
Weather should, in the course of years, wear away the mineral surface and dispose of the layer of Pitch (which is the most waterproof
substance on earth), it would still have to penetrate a layer of felt and another layer of composition and another of felt before the roof
would leak. It is easy to see why Amatite lasts so long when you realize how it is made. That mineral surface requires no painting or.
coating whatever, and will take the brunt of the weather without renewal or attention or care. Send for a sample of Amatite. It's free.

Everywhere we look we find the same conditions exist- -we find dealers rejoicing over
the fact that on looking over their hooks they find they are doing from 30 to 50% more business than last year.

The manufacturers are finding difficulty in keeping abreast of their orders, especially
so in the sheet metal building material line.
This material is growing in favor with the ( 'anadian people each day and it is up to the hardware merchant to clinch its permanency as a
roofing and general building material.
This can be accomplished only by carrying the best
goods, and by never substituting with an inferior brand because a few cents cheaper.
Substitution is costly to the dealer.
See what this growing demand means to you, Mr. Dealer, in increased business. Your
wisest course is to devote your energies towards co-operating with the manufacturers who art'

Pilot Success

Furnace

Successful Everywhere
Note the Large Air Space Between Radiator and

Dome

A great many of the furnaces are air-bound.

This space, not being large enough, does not allow a

quick, free circulation of air, and naturally causes waste heat to radiate through your casing into
cellar, owing to the slow circulation for want of air-space, which naturally means waste of
fuel.
With the Pilot Success Furnace, with its large air space, there is no danger of the furnace
being air-bound, but a quick, free circulation of warm air is given, heating the rooms quickly,
thereby saving fuel.

The Situation Summed Up.

The wholesale and manufacturing
heating goods trade is flourishing so far
as volume of sales is concerned. With
the big increase in building there has
been a corresponding increase in the demand for heating apparatus. But iu
every line there is very strong competition for sales this year,, and there has
been a great deal of price-cutting. This

What Manufacturers Say.

The 'Gurney Foundry Co., Toronto,
say:

"We

expect a big fall trade, as

that stocks in the coun-

try are large enough to seriously affect

the stove business this fall."
The MeClary Mfg. Co., London, write.
"While trade has been rather backwardup to date, the indications of a good
crop justify the conclusion that we shall
have a better fall trade than usual. If,
however, the crop is not safely harvested in the Northwest, or they have the
misfortune of early frosts, we may expect a considerable slump."
The D. Moore "Co., Hamilton, report:

Conditions in the Foundries.

An evolution has been going on in the

stove foundries, the manufacturers, in
their effort to reduce the cost of production, having introduced molding machines
and established their plants on the "open
shop" basis, i.e., open for the employment of either union or non-union workmen.
The molding machine, like the
typesetting machine, is- in line with human progress, but its adoption in Canadian stove foundries has been hastened

by two factors, the desire of the manufacturers to produce economically enough

to enable them to compete with the cheap
American stoves in western Canada, and
the high cost of labor, coupled with the
resulting from the efforts of the
unionists t.o wrest control of the foundries from their employers. As one Ontario stove founder writes:
"The Canadian stove manufacturers who wish to
keep up with the times and also retain
full control of their factory, will have
strife

to introduce molding
machines, compressed air and all the numerous other
improvements which
accompany them.
This will have the effect of specializing
the stove trade more than ever."
The labor troubles referred to have
kept a number of the Ontario foundries
idle for a considerable portion of the
past two .years, but molding machines
have now been successfully introduced

experienced in getting the new system in
proper working order, and the output of
stoves has been considerably curtailed.
Instead of warehouses being filled with
manufactured stocks, the stove founders,

The

situation, therefore, is tha,t if the

expected large demand materializes, the

that manufacturers will be unable to
supply goods as fast as ordered, and a
shortage result.

true that there is some

saving in the price of pig iron, there has

expenses remain practically stationary,
and the further fact that the tendency

costs up, so that there appears to be no
chance for reduced prices in stoves and
ranges for this season at least.

Duty Should be Higher.

Hardware and Metal does not

hesitate to endorse the appeal for an increase

on the import duty on stoves made by
T. J. Stewart, M.P., of Hamilton, in the
House of Commons at Ottawa last session.
Mr. Stewart stated that for 14 of

the preceding 24 months stove foundries

at Hamilton had been idle and the workmen had been walking the streets. And
this in the face of an importation of
four hundred carloads of stoves made
in United States foundries. He appealed
strongly for an increase in the duty from
25 to 35 per cent., and stated that un-

try in

The imports of stoves of all kinds and

parts thereof from the United 'States
for the past five years, as given in the
reports of the Department of Trade and
Commerce, are as follows:

To June 30, 1905

$ 403,047
To June 30, 1906

To March 30, 1908
456,847
To March 30, 1909
342,010
To get the value of these imports it
is necessary to add the duty of 25 per
cent., and by doing this it will be seen
that in 1906, 1907 and 1908, they averaged in value almost $600,000, while last
year the imports were considerably reduced, largely as a result of the financial depression, but partly owing to the
increased manufacture of gas stoves in
this country.

THE STOVE SITUATION

For many years to come western Canada will be an excellent field for manufacturers of house furnishings. For the
pas; twenty years the trade has been excellent in those lines which are essential
to the equipment of homes.
It is since
that time, however, that the trade has
developed materially in lines of goods
which may be looked upon as luxuries.
With the increase of a larger rang'e of
home supply goods, there is also an increase in the demand for better quality.
To keep apace with this demand for
quality, as well as the increased yearly
demand for quantity, has been the prob-

lem of manufacturers and wholesalers.

In no line of good's is
this feature
in
stoves and
so marked as
that of
ranges. A superficial knowledge of the
conditions of western Canada will be
sufficient to convince one that the stove
trade should be excellent in that territory.
Thousands of new homes are being erected annually by settlers, and a
stove is one of the first essentials for the
Manumost crudely furnished house.
facturers have not been 'slow to cater to
this class of trade.
The new settler
knows little of the superior qualities
which a stove should possess, or of the
reputation of the manufacturers, therefore, the matter of price is usually the
concrol'ing force in the purchase.
It

cannot be said, however, that Cana-

dian manufacturers have been guilty of

this charge to the same extent as American manufacturers.
Canadian manufacturers have not deliberately turned
out inferior stoves, but the nature of
the trade has not
stimulated them to
make improvements where it was possible.
Nor have they been careful to
construct stoves which would be adaptable to western conditions, and meet
with he most popular approval. An instance of the Latter case is that in the
west a stove which takes a nine-inch lid
is the most popular, and eastern manufacturers continued
the old
to send
eight-inch lid stove to the west, because
it was the style used in the east.
It is
obvious that this laxity on the part of
Cana.dian manufacturers would be taken
advantage of by American manufacturers, who are only too anxious to claim
a share of the harvest from the fastgrowing trade.
The American foundries are quite capable of turning out

ments

The Canadian makers have argu-

favor of their goods that will

defeat the American product, if only
they have an opportunity to use them.
Too often, however, it is a case of the
dealer comparing the prices of the attractive-looking American
stoves with
Canadian stoves, which, upon expert examination, are found to be much superior in construction.
It is perfectly legitimate for Americans to try and secure the Canadian
trade.

in

Canadians have the same

privil-

ege of going across the line with their

goods.
It does not seem fair, however,
that American' manufacturers should be
allowed a difference of 18c per hundred
pounds in the carload freight rate to
Winnipeg. Nor does it seem legitimate
that they should be allowed to evade

clause.

facturers are willing to meet their competitors on even ground, but at present there are some advantages given to
manufacturers in the south. Probably
the chief advantage is that of freight
rates, which has been referred to. The
freight rate on American stoves are lower than on 'Canadian goods, for the reason that points to,
and including St.
Louis and Chicago, a,re grouped with a
carload rate to Winnipeg of 55c, as compared with the car rate from Windsor to
Montreal grouping of 73c for carloads
to Winnipeg.
Regarding the dumping
clause, American makers
reduce
the
price to cost in order to get the trade in
western Canada.
There is no idea of
profit-making, but simply to unload their
surplus stock or be able to cut down factory costs by producing
in
quantity.
Canadian manufacturers, on the other
hand, cannot sell in the west without a
profit, as it is their natural market and
as a consequence, there is often a difference of over 7y2 per cent, in the price
American stove founders quote in their
own market and the price on which their
Canadian agents pay duty.

Notwithstanding the disadvantages at

which Canadian manufacturers are placed, they have occasion to feel satisfied
with the stove trade.
Local wholesale
houses representing Ontario stove firms
claim thai the western trade, as far as
they are concerned, is in a healthy condition.
The development of the trade is
no doubt due to the fact that the population is fast on the increase, since it
is doubt t'ul whether the Canadian
stove
shipments are larger than the American
stove shipments, and year by year the
American stove importations are on the
increase into this market. In 1Q0S $147.020 worth of stoves were imported into

There is one class of trouble that

comes to pretty near everyone engaged
in the heating business, and that is complaints from 'users of apparatus that
has been installed during the previous
summer, and which for one reason or
another have not been got down to working conditions. We do not refer to the

steam.

No matter how well a heating plant

may have been laid out or how well the
work may have been executed there is
every likelihood that there will be a
complaint of some nature or other from
the new user, especially if the user is
not entirely familiar with the particular
form of heating or type of apparatus.
Everything may be left in the best of
order and good and sufficient directions
for operation of the heating system may
have been posted at a point convenient
to the user, but for all that, if the user
is not of a mechanical turn of mind some
trouble of greater or less magnitude is
liable to crop up when least expected.

the management of the apparatus would

the heating man, they may be a puzzle
to the user, and their action on the fur-

the less is the draft that

The clearer the fire is kept the greater

it is always best to be sure that all other

of fuel it will generally be found that
very good average results can be had
with the most of the fuel of that class.
After the means of regulation through
the amount the grates are shaken comes
the question of the setting of the damper
in the smoke pipe.
The more this damper is turned to the closed position the
less will be the volume of gases that
can be carried to the chimney and the
more it is open the greater is the volume
of the gases that will be carried off for

where

the damper wants to be set is somewhat

of a matter of experience with each individual case, as the velocity or intensity
of the draft through every chimney will

vary from some other chimney^ and it

may vary in the same chimney, but it
is perfectly safe to turn the damper,
after the fire is once well started, to a
position half way between full open and
completely shut.
But the proper point,
as has been stated, is a matter for experience and testing.

the user claimed that even in very moderate weather he could not get sufficient
heat, and investigation showed the condition of the tire was just about what
has been described above.

nine o'clock in the morning, little or no
heat was coming from the furnace and

large enough to do the work; that he
had binned lots of coal and was not

Value of Pure Air.

Using outside

Quite often along comes the complaint

from users of hot air heaters, particularly of an over-abundance of heat in the
early fall months when the fires are just
started.
These complaints come just as
often when the whole plant has been
carefully laid out and erected as from
the other kind.
They are most likely
to come when the apparatus is of ample
size for the work at any and all seasons
of the year.
But such complaints are,
of course, easily traced to the management of the fires.
Frequently the grates are agitated too
much or the drafts are left on for too
at a length of time.

Arrangements had been made for taking the air from either the outside or the

leading to the room was taken back to

The ability that every

As he slid he clutched with tense
fingers at the tin, but it was smooth.
It offered him no hold, and his speed

And his speed at

fi'om the edge of the roof he came to

"Help!" he then shouted.
But the slight movement of shouting
acted like a push, and he slipped down
a few inches more.
"Help!" And again he slid a little.
But this time help came. A rope was
thrown, and the man climbed back to
safety.
He wiped the dews of terror
from his brow.
"My boss in my apprentice clays," he
said, "told me if I ever started sliding

This old London, Ontario,

firm
has
been making itself known in Western
Canada since 18G9. This company have
in recent years made special efforts to
turn out stoves and ranges which would
adequately meet the requirements of the
western trade. For this effort they have
been well repaid.
The trade has increased substantially, and at present a
lame warehouse is under construction in
Saskatoon.
A new impetus was given to the trade,
when J. J. Foote came from the London
office to manage the Winnipeg branch,
at the beginning of the year.
He is
gradually strengthening the trade west
of the great lakes, and is already known
as a hustler.
Last year the McClary

The McLean &
Holt Co. regulated their supply by the
demand, and therefore did not have a
big stock to carry over.
Sales during
the spring around moving time, were
about as usual, and there is not much
to complain of generally.

The manufacturers say they anticipate

a normal demand. The saving in the cost
of pig iron will not have any material
effect on prices, as it will be balanced
by the increase in steel, and the cost of
labor.
With the Enterprise Foundry
again in operation, the supply will be
better than last winter.
Retailers look
hopefully for a good demand during the
coming winter, to offset last season's depression, many people who put off last
year probably being compelled to buy
for the coming cold weather.

There has been quite an increase in

the
in

number of hot air furnaces installed

but in
the

country districts there has been little advance in this respect as the cost of installing a furnace in country homes is
much greater than in the city. The majority of the country houses burn hardwood, and for this purpose use largely

'Business in this district is subject to

rather exceptional conditions, the chief
of which is the general use of natural
gas as a fuel. In Chatham, Wallaceburg,
Blenheim, Merlin and Tilbury, among
other places, natural gas is much in use
for this purpose. In the Tilbury field itself, the farmers get their supply either
direct from the wells or else from the

FORT WILLIAM.

July 20. The stove business of the

twin cities at the head of the lakes is
essentially a city trade, the population of
the district being almost all concentrated in the two places. This is not saying
that there is no agricultural settlement
here, but that the farming population is,
on the whole, a far less important factor
to the city merchant than in the east
or west, where every quarter-section or
lot holds a prospective customer, if not
several.
Thus the stove peddler, who
used, in the west, to drive up while the
family was at dinner,
and dump his
wrought iron, unbreakable cooking stove

the back yard with an ostentatious

crash that was sure to bring the family
out, and often secured a sale, is not a
feature of this section of the country.
The competition of the local man is such
as is natural among a city people.

in

The situation at the head of the Great

Lakes, is also another factor dn the retail stove trade.
Navigation continues
into December, and the bulk of the stove
buying is done prior to that time, so
that the local dealer can ship in enough
to stock himself for the season's trade,
without running much risk of becoming
overloaded with stoves. Last year was
a poor stove year, anyway, and the re-

tailers eurtailed credit to some considerable extent, with the result that they
are now not carrying over any large
stocks of stoves.

J. R. L. Watt and W. M. Gordon, in

Mr. Watt has continued the busi-

in the firm 's name after it was well established.

Mr. Watt has always catered to

for it is only the outer layers of the

least dainty, that reach this temperature.
The interior parts of the meat are as a
rule from 25 to 50 degrees colder. Eggs,
for instance, are boiled hard at a temperature of 150 degrees F., and will lose
considerably in taste if they be hea.ted to
a temperature of 212 degrees F. This is
also the case with a too well cooked pudding yet the boiling water in which

In a fireless cooking box, it is possible

period for preserving a higher temperature than the one required for cooking

Porridge required for breakfast may be
prepared the night previous, left in the

It is advisable to leave the food in the
cooker for from one half to one hour

claim that the adoption of tireless cooking will cut this eost in half and further.
The saving of time must not be forgotten.
However, if it were a question of economy only, there might be some hesitation on the part of the writer to advocate
the use of tireless cooking, but, when in
addition to that great advantage, it can
be truthfully said that the quality of the
food prepared by this method is infinitely
more nourishing and dainty than eatables cooked in the ordinary way, then
very little remains to be said.
There is no limit to the uses of a fireless cooker in the preparation of all kinds
of food whether it be in small quantities, such as babies' food, or for the supply in hospitals convents, barc-acks and

hotels.

WHITE ZINCIt

ESTIMATING

AIR SPACE
HEATING.

FOR

The problem of furnace heating and

ventilating is a fascinating study, and
the more we indulge in this study the
more interesting it becomes, says the
American Artizan.
The basic or underlying principle that
governs the experienced furnace man is.
a strict adherence to the rules entering
into the problem, and if his conclusions
are reached by those rules on a logical
basis,
instead of the use of "thumb
rules," failure
and condemnation will
be replaced by success and commendation, and the agreeable outcome of success
and commendation is increased
business and larger profits.
One of the first rules a furnace man
should learn is that of determining the
amount of cubic feet of air space to be
heated, and in this calculation it is necessary to take into consideration the
relation of exposed walls and exposed
glass surface to the room or building
to be heated. Some consideration, too,
must be given to the relation of an
adjoining unoccupied property, the loss
of heat by transmission in this
party
wall must be overcome by a proportionate allowance in the total eouivalent cubic feet or in the capacity of the
furnace, for extra firing when that feature becomes necessary.
A simple rule for determining the
equivalent cubic feet
is,
to the cubic
feet
in
each
room add for wall and
glass exposure as follows (one-tenth of
each square foot of wall exposure being
equal in cooling effect
to seventy-five
cubic feet, and one square foot of glass
exposure being equal in cooling effect
to seventy-five cubic feet.)
First, obtain the cubic feet by multiplying the length by the width of the

room and by multiplying

this result by

the clear height of the ceiling.

Then multiply 10 per- cent, of the net
wall
exposure
75, and add this
by
amount to the total.
Then multiply the glass exposure bv
75 and add this amount to the total
cubic feet, and the cubic feet, the multiplied 10 per cent, of the net wall exposure and the multiplied glass exposure will constitute what may be called
equivalent cubic feet
that is to say,
the total will be equal to the cubic
feet to be considered in determining the
size of the furnace, the size of the warm
air pipes and the size of the registers
that will be required to heat the house.

It will increase your profit on gasolene because it stops the usual

The pump is all metal and will last a lifetime. It will discharge a pint,

We attribute our expansion to two things the confidence of others in us, the continuation
of the worth that made such confidence possible.
We regard that "repeat" patronage of the trade as an unfailing sign that we are regarded as

Numerous inquiries have been received for information regarding the excursion to Montreal to be conducted by

association to every hardware firm in
Ontario, but many travelers and others
connected with the manufacturing and

As most of the party will be in Montreal from Tuesday night to Saturday

be added railway fare to Toronto and

of preservation.

A few years ago some jobbers arranged to have their firm name placed
upon goods in conjunction with the
words, "Made expressly for," a legend
which was not in any sense calculated
to deceive. The laudable purpose of this
idea was undoubtedly to advertise the
merchant. In the course of time certaiin
jobbers arranged for special articles to
be used for competive purposes from
which
the
manufacturers' name was
wholly eliminated', and in lieu thereof
there appeared a name under whieh the
article was sold, but which the manufacturer was not permitted to use on the
goods of another dealer. Thus was inaugurated private brands.

consumers through

the retailers. It must be admitted, however, that the trade of some of the large
consumers is beyond 'the reach of the
average retailer, and is possibly beyond
the capacity of some small jobbers to
supply
and
under normal conditions
would be handled by the manufacturers
direct. This question of distribution is
also
confronting:
merchants in other
branches of trade.
In Portland. Ore.,
at the national convention of retail grocers held last week, a resolution was
adopted and telegraphed to the Jobbers'
Association in Detroit to the effect that
a wholesaler who supplies a railroad or

other so-called consumer should be classed by the manufacturers as a retailer

a.nd sold as such.

As already stated, the channels by

Quanity Being Sacrificed.

There was one merit in tbjis system,
which was that the merchant could from
time to lime buy these goods from the
lowest bidder and could buy them during any season from various factories,
which was a common practice, all the
various goods going out under the one
private brand, the ultimate buyer remaining ignorant, and possibly indifferent,
concerning the real source from
which

the

good's

came,

naturally

pre-

suming that all bearing a given brand

came from one factory. Tt must be manifest to any intelligent person that under
this system the quality of goods in
general is sure to deteriorate, because
various
the
manufacturers, some of
whom may, perhaps, have but a single
order, furnish the articles according to
the price, having no interest except to
satisfy the jobber and convince him that
he will fit the quality to the price, as
custom has become so
agreed.
The
general that crossroads merchants and
retailers throughout our country, emula.ting the dignity of large jobbers, now desire upon their goods some name which
will conceal their origin and which usually means nothing to a consumer.
The practice referred to is being
adopted in the dry goods trade and bv
druggists, grocerv retailers and small

Name No Guarantee.
claimed by merchants that having their names placed upon articles is
their assurance of good and uniform
quality. True, the name of a merchant
in the place where it properly belongs is
as good as that of a manufacturer, but
in no sense can it be equivalent as a
guarantee of quality to the names of the
men who make the goods and who are
the only persons who fully know their

It

is

sponsible for their quality. The good

reputation of a jobber rests in his being
an honest, fair and successful merchant.
It is not in his being a manufacturer,
because he is not a manufacturer. His
proper and admitted function is that of
a distributor. If he really becomes a
manufacturer, as some do in a 9mall
way, the manufacturers with equal propriety may then also
become distributors.
If manufacturers conceede to
you jobbers the absolute sale of their
products and never interfere with your
customers, and you in return will not
represent their standard goods, it is not

that
the producer should be
solicitous for his own reputation and become inclined to press his goods through

recognition. The vital point, therefore,
from the standpoint of the manufacturer is how can he be recompensed for
parting with his name and reputation.

Jobbers and Catalogue Houses.

In later years the so-called catalogue
and mail order houses referred to in
the question before us have been established,

whose merchandise was originally

supplied almost entirely by large jobbers

in our commercial centres.
In referring
to those two types o-f houses, which have
become numerous, I will for convenience
speak of both classes as catalogue houses
as indicated in the resolution.
These
houses, as was known from (he beginnig. have sold direct to consumers, and
daring the time when they were supplied by the jobbers their trade increased
in volume to such an extent that it soon
'led that of the
largest
regular
merchants. They accordingly began to

whereupon

were informed that these houses are the

enemies of the retailers and the mar.uwere accordingly requested
facturers
not to deal with them because the jobwere the proper channels for distribution of their products.
Catalogue
s from the time of their establishment have doubtless been enemies of
the retailers, and also became enemies
of the jobbers after the jobbers were
unable to hold i.heir trade without protest from the retailers.
Previous to the serving of the notice
upon the manufacturers to which we
have referred, the catalogue houses sold
many goods bearing tht manufacturer's
name, this being their preference. They
also introduced many new articles which
the manufacturers had to
offer,
and
which goods mi<rht even now be sold
through |}ia ehanned more conveniently and in larger quantities than through

any other.
Since the crusade was inaugurated these houses have been forced
to buy the greater part of their goods
under private brands, and therefore now

It mus be admitted that the development of the catalogue house business

means a corresponding curtailment of
the retailer's business, and since the
jobbers are supposed to have generally
discontinued that trade, it is to that extent a curtailment of the jobbers' business, but it does no reduce the demand
upon such manufacturers as will sell
them, and for the obvious reason that
the goods must be produced at some
factory. They certainly get them elsewhere.
The effect of the refusal of

many manufacturers to supply these

houses 'has forced 'them also to enter upon the manufacture of some lines

One-Sided Proposition.

Your demand,
that

the

as we understand it, is

these catalogue houses, nor to the retailers or to 'the large consumers already
referred to, nor to any merchant not
classified on your list as a jobber.
You
urge that we should sell exclusively to

you

the
jobber.
The manufacturer
naturally asks you if in return for the
restricting of 'his trade to you alone you
will represent his goods or give him a
protection such as you ask for yourselves.
You must admit that your answer is substantially "No," that he may
make such goods for you as you may
order, but he must not be known in the
transaction.
The goods must be known
as your goods

and apparently as of your

make, and you are willing to compel
the retailers to compete against these

your own special brands, and withhold
from them as far as possible all standard

aside from the manufacturer,

suffers frojm these uneconomical methods? It must be clear that if the jobber

makes a greater profit on his special

brands than he does on factory brands
a loss necessarily falls not only upon
the manufacturer, but upon the retailor
or consumer who pays the difference.
Is it, therefore, to the advantage of
the retailer and consumer to buy standard brands? It certainly is, because for
reasons already given they are liable
to get better goods at a given price, unless, as is sometimes the case, the article is really of the highest quality, but
none are of higher quality than
he
manufacturers' best brands. Moreover,
the endorsement, the pride and prestige
of a manufacturer is behind the goods
bearing the manufacturers' brands, and
factory brands are universally preferred
by artisans who are familiar with tools.
These artisans and workmen are continuously moving from one state or district to another and are therefore often
confronted with unfamiliar names upon the goods offered for sale.
A jobber may as safely warrant an
article bearing a manufacturer's brand
as he can the same grade of goods without that brand.
It
must he perfectly
clear to any intelligent retailer thai a
standard manufacturer's brand
of
a

profitable than are (he majority of nondescript brands in common use.

This is the real sit nation and it affords a barren outlook to an enterprising and conscientious manufacturer if
the condition is permitted to continue.
The manufacturer has often asked you.
."Why will you entirely eliminate our
brands, many of which are of value ami
of long standing, and at the same time
expect us to keep our regular goods oul
of the market?" The reply which you

Sheffield, Eng.. July 8.

Some interest
has been taken here in the campaign in
America against the proposed establishment of the Parcels Post C.O.D. system,
because we have gone through it all, and
successfully resisted a part of the proposals of the post office.
A few years ago, Lord Londonderry,
who was post-master general, when Lord
Salisbury was premier, attempted to introduce the system in the United Kingdom, and there was immediately such a
storm of protest by shopkeepers, that
the scheme was dropped forthwith. Virtually every trade assocition took the
matter up, and a host of petitions resulted in the Postmaster General receiving a deputation of representatives of
retailers.
His public reply was that too
strong a case had been made out against
the proposal for him to think of perisisting in its institution.

was an agitation against the introduction of the system.
The belief was that
an effort would be made to introduce it
into the United Kingdom. An assurance
was given that there was no such intention at present, and in October, 1908,
the C.O.D. system with a few remote
parts of the world was introduced. With

Undoubtedly the present system, without the aid of the 0.0. TV. has done much

said
in the case of firms having an established reputation and world-wide connections attempts to discontinue advertising have usually been followed by a
diminution in the sales effected, and it
is not unreasonable to assume that the
neglect by Great Britain of one of the
most important forms of national advertisement would be equally detrimental to her interests as a manufacturing
country.
"But as there can be no profit either
to the individual or to the nation as a
whole in displaying inferior British exhibits by the side of the best productions of our commercial competitors, if
we participate at all in international
exhibitions we must see that the great

it announced in a newspaper
but, when
they see that article mentioned week after week, an impression
is created which is translated into
interest and
attention and finally into
desire and action. If a firm presents its
story day by day, year in and year out
in
an earnest, convincing and intelligent manner, doubt on the part of the
public gives way and readers feel there
must be merit and worth in the proposition or article. It. is by hammering
home the facts and all the facts constantly
and steadily that conviction
takes possession of the mind and the
leaven
of
publicity begins to work
and once it has begun it must be kept
working. There is no such a, procedure
as stopping to rest or laying back contentedly and saying
"I think I have
Riven enough impetus to this thing to

who adopts such an attitude, will find
that the thing of itself soon spends its
energy.
It
is only by keeping at
it
everlastingly that permanent success is
scored.
It is somewhat peculiar that,
until recent years,
while people have
believed in the veracity of this axiom,
they have thought there was one exception ad vertisingr.

al stores, a,nd

who

is

well

known

for his

novel methods of displaying goods, furnishes the following information relative

to handling bats:
In one of the stores this stock is carried on the shelves;
in
another the
original crates in which the bats are received are used, the crates standing up,
with part of the top sawed off, allowing
the ends of the bats to be in sight; in
another store use is made of a square
upright box especially made to contain
the gooclls ; while in still another establishment the bats are simply placed in
a stand in front of one of the counters.
He stafes, in addition, that he has noted
that a great many dealers in various
cities which he had visited, display this
class of goods by using a neat, upright
box made about six inches shortC'i than
the bats and large enough to hold half
a dozen of each kind of bat carried in
stock. This box should be neatly painted
and displayed as near the front of the
-

store as possible.

manager has asked me to write the advertisement

He's too busy getting
ready for our big Fall campaign to stop and write this ad.
I don't
know what to say. I'm not an ad writer; I'm just a plain paint maker.
Being employed in the factory, I can only tell you how good SherwinWilliams Products are.
Our salesmen can tell you all about how easy
they are to sell and what we do to help you sell them and all
that sort of thing.
There's just one thing I do know about the sale
of our goods
they must be easy to sell and in great demand, because I'm kept humping every minute trying to make enough goods
If I had room I could tell you all about how
to supply everybody.
all
of our goods are made, but to make it short I'll simply say that
I've been making paints and varnishes all my life and have never
seen them made so good anywhere as they are made in the SherwinWilliams factory. I know what goes into them and know it's right up
to snuff.

GOOD PAINT PREVENTS RUST.

[nasmuch as both moisture and oxygen are neeessary in order that corrosion
may proceed, it can easily be seen that
the duty of a protective paint is to exclude both of these elements. It is wellknown that a linseed oil film is an expensive porous structure acting somewhat as a sponge toward moisture and
freely allowing the passage of oxygen.

The function of the pigments employed in paint is therefore at least threefu!d. says William H. Walker in the
Engineering Magazine. First, the more
obvious one of imparting a color thereto; second, tlu- most important one of
filling up the pores or interstices in the
oil film, thus rendering it as little impervious to moisture and air as posBible and third. t.> add the composite
film in drying or oxidizing to a compact impenetrable covering.
Very little
work has as yel been done upon paints
from this point of view, but with a

in the corrosion of iron, an intelligent
study is made possible and valuable recan be predicted with certainty.

SATISFIED

CUSTOMERS

Higher quality in any article means satisfaction to the user not only satisfaction but economy,
especially in Metallic goods, and a satisfied user is a permanent customer.
Metallic for exterior uses such as Shingles and Siding must be of the very best steel so well
galvanized that it is absolutely proof against snow, rain and rust.
Our " Eastlake " Metallic Shingles are made of cold rolled steel. It is a much tougher, more
wear-and-weather resisting piece of steel than the hot rolled article which is generally used.
"Eastlake Shingles are proof against all tests of the weather. Roofs covered with "Eastlake"
Shingles 25 years ago are in as perfect condition to-day as when they were laid.
The four-lock shingles take four times as long to lay as "Eastlake " and then are not weathertight.
Just examine them notice how little overlap there is only about an inch and a quarter
not enough to keep out the drifting snow and rain. Nothing less than a three-inch lap is perfectly
weathsrtight, and the " Eastlake " is the Only shingle that has that much.
So why experiment with your customers ? give them a shingle that is, and has proven itself to
be, the best on the market .You will find all our goods of the same high quality and manufacture.

It is a well-known fact that for perfect and rapid

throughout. Our rivetting is all done by hand, with Norway iron rivets, which, when once
driven to an air-tight joint, will never give, and which renders the range indestructible.

co-operation. We have found it helpful
and the good opinions, we had previously formed
of profit sharing, have
been justified in every way. I will give
you one illustration. At the time of
the big fire in April, 1904, we lost our
warehouse, plant and everything else.
It was a month before we were able to
resume any part of the business and
six months before we were again in full
operation and in shane to take back all
our employes. Of all those who were
thrown out of work by the fire, not one
left us.
They secured temporary employment elsewhere and were tempted
by contracts, higher pay and in various
ways by other concerns who held out
all sorts of inducements and promises.
Although, as I have said, it was six
months before we were running again
at normal capacity, one of the most
pleasing things we remember is. that

prevailed throughout the year depressed
the value of the silver production, which
was returned at $9,110,008.
Ontario now occupies a leading place
among the silver-producing countries of
the world, having contributed about oneninth of the entire reported production
in 1908.
There was raised and shipped
from the mines of Cobalt last year 24,453 tons of ore (including concentrates)
which was considerably more than the
total production up to the end of 1907.
The production of nickel in 1908 was
valued at $1,866,059, and of copper $1,071 .140.
The iron mines of Ontario
yielded 216,177 tons of ore last year,
worth $574,839. and there was made at
the blast furnaces 271,656 tons of pig
iron, valued at $4,390,839.

CANADA'S

EXPANDING

STEEL

INDUSTRY.
In view of the recent announcements
of proposed enlargements of the various
steel plants in Canada, the following
editorial from the Iron Age will be read
with interest by Canadians, giving, as
it
does, the American view of how the
development of the steel industry in this
the
country has affected the trade in
United States. The Iron Age says:

We hear again that
"no place in the world has greater advantages for the manufacture of iron
and steel at low cost' than has Sydney.
We are told that Sydney steel can be
laid down at Port Arthur or Fort William at as low a freight as from Montreal, and that when the deepening of
canals is finished this frVight cost will
be further lessened.

July 9. A most satisfactory trade is

being done by paint manufacturers and
jobbers and instead of the usual relaxation looked for in July, a steady demand
exists,
the
call
being for immediate
shipment, this indicating that stocks in
retail stores are pretty well broken up.
Particularly has the demand been brisk
for white lead, some jobbers having difficulty in supplying orders promptly.
Linseed oil prices have advanced one
cent and turpentine is also higher in
the south and unsettled in Toronto. The
crop of gum harvested this spring has
been mostly distilled and reports indicate a smaller supply than expected,
speculators taking advantage of this to
run prices up at Savannah from 38 to
44 cents.

prices down later on, but as most buying in the north is for present require-

HOW

TO USE

WOOD

STAINS.

dealers who handle wood

stains may offer the following advice
for their use to their trade:
When the stains are applied by dipping it is worth while to apply a brush
coat after the shingles are laid, as it
evens up the color effect, and covers up
raw edges which may be left where the
shingles have been cut to fit corners,
window frames, etc. It also adds to the
permanency of the color. If applied by
a brush coating, two coats should always
be used, because one coat is not a thorough job in any material.
In applying the stains care should be
taken to see that they are kept thoroughly
stirred, and are applied to dry wood, in
order that the coloring effect may he uniform and permanent. Shaking or rollins the package is not sufficient to completely incorporate the pigment and the

Hardware

vehicle
the stain should be stirred to
the bottom with a stick until the coloring matter is all in suspension.

In dipping it is an economy to fasten

brushes at the top of the dipping tub
and draw the shingles through them as
This saves stain and
they are dipped.
hastens the drying. The shingles should
not be soaked in the stain, but dipped in
and out as quickly as possible, and after
dipping should be thrown in a loose
pile, so that the free circulation of the
air will dry them quickly.
One man
can dip 7,000 shingles per day, but three
can dip 25,000, because they work to
better advantage.
But two-thirds the
length of the shingle need be dipped.

BRUSHES AND BRISTLES.

The

British

Brush

OF THE CANADA

Manufacturers'

Association has taken up the subject of

when a brush can be called "all bristle."
It has decided that this term "applies
exclusively to material obtained from a
pig's back," the term "hair" being
"used to describe material obtained
from animals other than a pig." The

attempt
that

up

to establish this definition

shows

to the present,

says a brush authority, this meaning has not been attached to the words, and in making contracts
it
is
apparently desirable to
specify "all bristle, that is, all pig's
bristles."

HOW

LINSEED OIL

IS

MADE.

The manufacture of linseed

oil

guarded from the beginning to the end,

and in addition, the proper handling of
the oil after it is produced is essential to
secure the best results.

Flaxseed as it
comes from the farmer's hands is mixed
with various impurities, such as wheat,
corn, mustard, rape and weed seeds of
all sorts.
If these are not eliminated
so far as it can be done before crushing, the result is an inferior quality of
linseed oil.

prominent crusher thus describes

the process of manufacture: "It is the
practice in the best managed mills to
reclean the flaxseed, reducing the impurities to a minimum, thereby insuring
a superior grade of oil, as well as cake.
After the flaxseed is cleaned it is passed
through a series of rolls and crushed
under heavy pressure. It is then warmed by steam in jacketed heaters, which
put the crushed flaxseed in condition to
yield oil readily under additional pressure, which is applied
in
hydraulic
presses to the extent of, say 3,800 pounds
to the square inch, the crushed flaxseed
having previously been molded in the
form of a cake about fourteen inches
wide and thirty inches long and placed
in cloths made of camel's hair.
After
the oil is thus extracted, it is filtered,
them stored in tanks and allowed to

and when necessary is refiltered

have been sold within the last few years, and the better the "Puritan"
becomes known, the brisker becomes the demand for it.
Some special "Puritan" features are:
Smooth, Easy Running, due to heavy balance wheel and roller gear
and bearings.
Quick Washing, due to the fact that the "Puritan" dolly-board makes

effective rubbing as other J turn machines.
Easy Opening, due to the use of a coil spring which counterbalances
the weight of cover and gearing.

In the Bayard Rifle, the pressure of the explosion is used to push back the breech block, to eject the empty shell and
cock the firing pin. After each shot the breech remains open, ready to receive a new cartridge, which is placed into
the barrel by pressing the button of the breech block catch. An easily adjusted safety catch permits the rifle to be locked
when loaded. The barrel is fitted with an open adjustable rear sight. Owing to its long range and its great accuracy the
Bayard Rifle recommends itself for target practice and small game shooting. Ask your jobber to show you this wonder-

Oversight in Hardware Bulletin.

Members of the Ontario Retail Haulware Association who have received a

copy of the National Retail Hardware
Bulletin will have noticed an error in
overlooking the attendence of VicePresident Madole, Napanee, Ont., at the
recent Milwaukee convention. Mr. Madole was delegated to represent the Ontario association by the executive committee (failing Mr. Ballantyne's ability
to attend) and he
regularly attended
each session a,t Milwaukee.
The Bulletin
on page 83 says "Ontario sent
three representatives and they were welcome visitors" but on page 90 reference
is only made to Fred C. Lariviere, Montreal, who did not represent any organization, and Secretary Wrigley. Toronto,

NEW BURGLAR ALARM.

A

Dresden (Germany)

engineer ha,s
invented a simple appliance for giving
warning of attempted burglarly or
forcible entry into premises.
This appliance has been tested by the police
authorities of Dresden and Berlin, and
the most experienced criminal experts
were unable to find flaws in the apparatus
or to
enter into the protected
premises without starting
the
alarm.
The appliance itself is very simple, consisting of a curtain or portiere, wired
with fine conductors. At certain places
on the curtain are affixed small metal,
knobs, which axe connected with the
wire conductors. The curtain is then

drawn across
around the

window

the

safe,

and the

or door, or
slightest dis-

turbance of this position immediately

breaks the circuit, as the metal knobs
are thrown out of contact with each
other.
Should the burglar notice the
wires and cut one or several thereof,
the breaking of the curcuit would also
start the alarm.
Any other attempt to
destroy the protecting curtain would also
be noticed. Any curtain, unless made of
fire-proof material,

would

also act as a

alarm, and these forming a most

conspicuous part of the device, can be
designed and arranged to suit individual

fire

taste.

expresses
the
opinion that a Ca.nadian firm could do
a profitable business in heating apparatus, though it would be compelled to
change the patterns to those suitable
to this climate and possibly have to put
them together here. The Australian and
the New Zeaiander both prefer the open
tire places and the houses are adapted
neither to stoves, furnaces
nor
hot
water, but some stoves are being sold
and, under skilful men who know their
business, the trade could be extended.
The stove now sold to some little extent

for the reason that the capping is put
on as soon as the wire is run, thus effectually concealing any faults that may
exist. Workmen are well aware that the
average inspector seldom removes the
capping for inspection, and the result
in many eases is the introduction of
faults of a most dangerous character.

The recent development of high efficiency electric incandescent lamps on a large
scale has had an important bearing on

supersede both the

arc for interior lighting as well as for

certain forms of street lighting, while
the quality of the light, on account of
its close resemblance to daylight, makes
these lamps most useful and valuable
where color considerations are important as in matching shades. So much in
successful illumination depends upon the
proper placing as well as selection of
the lamps in accordance with the principles of the modern science of illuminating engineering that in planning new
installations of these
high

lamps particular attention is being paid
to their proper arrangement and the use
of suitable shades and reflectors.
The
results

already achieved seem

to

indi-

cate that substantial progress has been

made in raising the Standard of illumination. In all illumination the lamps must
always be kept out of the line of direct
vision, as not only is the glare unpleasant but the observer's attention is directed to the lamps themselves, and this
while always unpleasant is a fatal defect

One undoubted drawback

in

present arrangements is the almost unavoidable overheating of the Bunsen

burner, which frequently ends in the
striking back of the flame; and many
attempts have been made to overcome
this difficulty by constructing the mixing tube of some badly conducting material. In some cases the lower portion
of the tube has been made of glass, in
others the whole of the mixing tube has
consisted of porcelain, but nearly all
such tubes have been difficult to manu-

pecularities in the construction may be
noted, the chief one being the surrounding of this badly conducting mixing tube
by an outer tube, with the object of having a thickness of air round the inner
one, and so preventing the heating of
the latter by radiation from the escaping gases. Further, the chimney is carried up to some height and then bent
outwards so as to protect the air inlets

Don't Get "Notions" About

THE ADVANTAGE OF AN AGENCY.

In considering the advantage attached to the selling of paint, hardwaremen
must not overlook the great point that
most manufacturers confine their agencies to one particular store. Of course,
if the selling field is a very large one,
it
may be split up into two or three, as
the case may be, but sufficient care is
taken that each dealer holds a monopoly in his proper district. This is where
the selling of paint has an advantage
of the ordinary lines of hardware, or
oyer white lead, turpentine, linseed oil,
etc.
In the latter lines no matter howhard the dealer may work to push the
goods, he knows that his competitors
are likewise selling them, and that they
are just as likely to get the benefit of
any special advertising campaign as he

Of course, in carrying an agency, the

dealer must be certain that he has a
reputable line. He must be certain that
the goods are all right, and that the
price is fair, for these are the points
which can alone carry him through. As
other men cannot reap any of the advantages of his advertising and selling
campaign, so he cannot reap any advantage from theirs, and, therefore, he
must rely solely upon the quality and
price of his goods.
If people once take
an objection to his brands, then his case
IS
a hard one.
Therefore, the hardwareman in taking an agency, should be fully assured
as- to the quality of the paints, and he
can then face his customers with confidence, and an assurance.

The markets are

Ready mixed paints continue to
