WORLD COMMERCE ENTERS HUDSON River Is Melting Pot of Al Nations' Trade New York, Aug. 20 (—The com- merce of the world comes into the Hudson river, and about its mouth clusters unequaled activity. Tt often has been compared to the Thames and the Seine, but neither of these is deep enough to care for the great liners which rest at up- town docks along the Hudson. This activity even descends be- neath the river for subway i and raflways have run cylindrical tubes far beneath its bed, so deep that the roar of passing trains is| muffled in the depths. Vessels from all Nations For miles below Seven cond | street there is the commercial activ- ity of a metropolis, and it continues even farther morth, but from that juncture upstream there are two west shores. The largest ocean liners, includ- Ing the Leviathan, tie up at piers on the Hudson, while others accom- modate the freighters from every land. There is a clamor and hustle different from other busy sections about these docks, and there also usually is a dist ve odor that marks the product of handled on each freighter's pler, Banks Congested Space is at a premium along the river's bank, whether for a busi- ness requiring a square or merely place to set a lumber yards, mechanic’s s smiths, gar- ages and junk yards The only order In this confusion is that nec to keep one business from flowing over into another. But hardly ever does a ship sail late, or a cargo re- main aboard too long. Here the river is democratic, but above Seventy-second street th is more exclusiveness in its car- riage.

Formerly we have had from two to three carloads of each season’s samples, but this year only one carload will be avail- able. Last February our two and a half carload purchase of samples was sold out in two days, so in order to give all an equal opportunity to inspect the Agust samples we will offer them in a one day sale—Saturday. There are only about fifteen suites in this shipment, in addition to the odd pieces, but only a part of them are listed here. The others were just being unpacked when this an- nouncement was written so could not be included in our des- cription. However, those listed will give an idea of the inter- esting values to be offered. Each suite or piece is a new design or has a new com- bination of covers never shown before and it was from these identical pieces that dealers throughout the country purchased their fall stocks. Mr. Clarence Berquist, representative of the Jamestown Lounge Company, will be on hand Saturday to meet those who wish to inspect the Grand Rapids Samples. He will be glad to explain the design and construction of the pieces and will personally take care of special orders.
