Exhibition by Manufacturers Held.
Do you wish to enlarge your home
town? Do you want to Increase Its
local trade? Arc you anxious to seo
a spirit of activity In the stores, espe
cially by your fellow citizens trading
at their home stores? Then you must
advertise. Patronize your local news
papers. Call the business men and
merchants together and form an asso
ciation to further your Interests.
New Orleans has struck the key
note In this line. What she dkl last
year and is still doing through the
work of a progressive union can In
some measure be done by nny town.
At lenst its principle Is a good one,
that of developing locnl trade and ac
tively reaching out to attract people
to her hospitable doors.
The alms of the New Orleans Pro
gressive union may be briefly summed
up in the statement that It stands for
expansion of trade territory, new In
dustries, high class immigration, bet
ter train and mail service, municipal
sanitation and health, exploitation of
the city's advantages, Increased Pana
ma trade, steamship lines to youth
America, lower freight rates, higher
education, home patronage of home in
dustries, more railroads, more capital
and more labor. Along these lines the
organization hns done much during tho
year and expects to do even more In
the near future. The present adminis
tration is justly proud of the part that
the utalon has played In the develop
ment of the lakes to the gulf deep wa
terway project.
Under Its present management the
Progressive union has after months of
lubor tlnally succeeded In having the
various railroads leading into New Or
leans grant ten day Tree siopo' era
there on all continuous tickets lss\K>d
from various points in the east, west
and north. For years the business in
terests of New Orleans had tried to
bring about the adoption of the free
stopovers, but failure marked every |
effort until this year. In the final
tight every Influence controlled by the
Progressive union was brought Into
play, and after months of correspond
ence on the subject all railroad and
steamship lines operating in and out of
New Orleans acknowledged the claims
of the Crescent City and granted the
stopovers. It has been estimated that
tho stopover privilege means some
thing like $1,300,000 to New Orleans
every year.
Through the work of the Progressive
union seven new mail trains have been
secured for New Orleans, and that city
has been made the headquarters of a
new railway mail division. This means i
Increased mail facilities for all mer- i
chants and business men and quicker I
dispatch In the handling of all kinds j
of advertising matter, literature and j
other mail.
Under tho auspices of the New Or- 1
leans Progressive union the manufac
turers of that city hold an exhibition
where nearly everything manufactured
la that city was show’ll in an exhibi
tion lasting an entire month.
The Progressive union, which was
at the head of this enterprise, is tho
largest civic organization In the south
ern states and has during the last few
years been very active In promoting
that city’s welfare by advertising its
resources and helping its merchants in
every wav to fight its industrial and
commercial battles.
Characteristic of the press, which is
constantly taking steps to advance the
Interests of the community it serves,
the New Orleans Daily States gives
manufacturers of that city an oppor
tunity to make their goods known at
very smail expense. Three times a
week its columns are offered free to
exploit homemade articles, presenting
their good points and other reasons
why they should have the preference
of local buyers. In return for this the
publishers ask the manufacturers to
take a ten or twenty line ad. three
times a week.
The merchant
used every effort to co-operate with
tlie Progressive union, each merchant,
after his own fashion, getting up
some special attraction or Inducement
to help attract tho crowds simultane
ously to and coincident with the big
manufacturing exhibition.
One very prominent music bouse ar-
rangod an exhibition of high art music
al instruments through the different
manufacturers they represent and kept
“open house,” giving free recitals day
and night. This feature In Itself at
tracted very wide and favorable com
ment. Others arranged special exhllv
Its, and some made preparations to
show their plants in operation to their
visiting customers.
On the whole, there seems to bo a
general spirit of awakening ns well ns
eo-operntion among tho commercial In
terests of that whole city looking to-
ward corralling as large a volume of
business ns the south's metropolis Is
usually accustomed to. Other of the
country’s cities, towns and merchants
might well afford to emulate this
spirit.
In touching upon the home manu
facturers’ exhibition, M. B. Trezevant,
secretary-mnnager of the Progressive
union, said In part recently:
“Wo are teaching the people of New
Orleans to buy at home, to always give
homemade goods the preference and
when buying to ask for home goods If
home goods nre not offered them to
begin with. In this way we will keep
millions of dollars at home and going
Into the tills of the home merchants
lnstend of sending them away to pay
Inbor in other parts of the country
and even in other countries.
“Being representative of all the
trades and even all the professions and
being biased or hound in no way, tho
Progressive union Is able to take bold
of any business or public project which
Is legitimate in character. It Is as able
and willing to help to pave a street ns
It Is to take pnrt in the establishing of
a new steamship line to Central Amer
ica. Its usefulness is hardly begun, in
spite of what It hns accomplished, for
'he opening of the Panama canal opens
io New Orleans a vista of prosperity
such as it would not have dreamed of
n few years ago. To take full advan
tage of such opportunities as now pre
sent themselves, or are about to, a city
must have militant commercial organi
zation. The Progressive union pro
pores to erect a monument to Itself In
tho part It will take In bringing to
New Orleans a big percentage of the
trade which will ebb and flow through
the big artificial waterway which will
soon connect ttio Atlantic with the Pa
cific.
"In this work and In all other work
wo will undertake wo will welcome
the aid of every true spirited man in
the city. Every man, young or old,
who believes in boosting his homo
City should join the Progressive union
and put his shoulder to the wheel.”
If you believe in boosting your
homo town, even if your tradesmen
are few in number, get together and
organize a Progressive union. Then
at any rate carry out its main aims if
you do nothing else.

How Hammer of Death Struck James.
Tho old parish church of Plumstend
is probably at least 1,000 years old.
The picturesque churchyard, a cher
ished haunt of the poet Bloomfield
during his visits to Shooters Hill, con
tains a delightfully choice “derange
ment of epitaphs.” One of these on
“Master James Darling, aged 10,
teaches a lesson of moderation during
the cherry season to the youth ot other
places besides Pluinstead. Speaking
from ids tombstone, Master Darling
exclaims:
The hammer of death was give to me
For eating tho cherries off the tree.
—Westminster Gazette.
Had Its Limitations.
A Scottish fanner was proudly show
ing a visitor an antique clock which
had recently come into his possession.
"Isn’t that a gran’ clock?” he said
"1 bor-ht it at an auction sale in the
toon the ither day an’ got n rale bar
gain.”
"Yes, but does it keep good time?”
the visitor asked.
"All, wee!, it's no good enough to
catch a train or that sort o’ thing, but
good enough to get up to yer breakfast
wl’.”
The kind that people who know the “good kind’
to plant use.
We have the prettiest lot we
have ever had, and you know
‘Goodman’s price” is always
right. See me if you expect to
plant this fall.
