! | 6 GIFTS TO SALOON-KEEPERS Some of the Things the Brewers Have to do to Galn and Keep Customers, Zew York Times. 1t is sald that a surprisingly large number of the eligible corner build- ings in London are owned by the brewers and distillers, and that there is a very noticeable tendency in New York to a similar state of affairs, More and more every year the capital of New York brewers.and wholesale liquor houses is put into saloons in various ways, The compe- tition is so great that they are glad to got a sure hold upon any good stand, where they may, in a certain sense, retail their own goods. A bar-keeper who has saved a few hundred dollars suddenly opens a ulmzn whose appointments alone cost §5, 000. Wonder is expressed at this in- dieation of wealth, and it is said, in joke or carnost, that he has been “knocking down.” The secret often is that his brewer has fitted up the saloon with its costly bar, its elegant furniture, its commodious ice-box, and its $300 billiard table, and stands good for the rent, The apparently prosperous saloon keeper's invested capital is baroly enough to serve as guarantee that he won't run away between two days with what he can carry. The brewer holds chattel mort- gnges for their full valuo on what- ever he has put in. The brewer's beer must be sold in the saloon, Sometimes the saloon keeper has the help of several of the men whose oods he selle on similar conditions. fh has an up-hill road to travel, be- cause he must pay the prices they choose to im upon him. The more money he has at the outset and the more he can accumulate, the more independent he is and the bet- ter the prices he can obtain. The brewer or the wholesale liquor dealer who has invested several thou- sands of dollars in a| bar, back bar, and other appointments, often finds tha: the nominal proprietor is a man of unbusiness-like habits and is un- successful. If he is compelled to take the fixtures out of the saloon, there is no reasonable probability that the; will fit any other place, and'if he sells them it wfil be at a loss ibly of 90 per cent. He naturally, in sucha case, considers the advantages of buy- ing the building outright. This il- lustrates the tendency of eligible cor- ner property to fall into_the hands of brewers and distillers. In no other class of stores is so much money habitually inyested in fittings as in first-class drinking saloons. Never- theless, it can not be said as yot that a very disproportionate amount of the corner property in New York is in possession of brewers and distillers. Great complaint is made by the brewers of Igm York and its vicinity on account of the demands made upon them by their customers. If a saloon keeper has an opening in a new place, his brewer or his representative must be present and open a liberal number of bottles of champagne. 1f he does not, the saloon keeper is voxed. “My orewer is a gentleman,” said a ssloon keeper yesterday. When T opened here last May there was not a sign of m(body from his office, and I tflnughl it was very queer. The next day he deped in on me, and explained that he had been up at three or four openings this week, and he was too much used up to get around. He ordered a bouf:) of Rugo- sheim, and when he had finished it he got up and tossed a $50 note to the barkaeeper and told him to put that in the drawer.” Lo koop i customor or to gain one a brewer will puta costly: ico box in bia saloon or & billiard table. A chat- tel mortgage is usually given, but it is often practioally a matter of ferm. It he doce this togain 4 new customer some of his old customers will re- prouch him for slighting them. Thero s no end to the demand for these wifts, Whatever a rival brewer offers to do he must do, if he does not want to lose a customer. “alk ot giving billiard tables?” sald & prowminent brewer last F ‘“‘why, the other day I dropped into the saloon of a well to do man that 1 know, but who is not a customer of mine. I found him' sitting comforta- bly in an arm chair, and I asked him how he was, ¢ ‘Protty woll now,’ he said. ‘I am a little under the weather yot, but I made my brewer send his carringe around to take my wifo and me out riding every atternoon this week, and now 1 am getting along very well,’” Not all the salvon keepers, of course, make such demands as aro referred to above. Many of the best of them tako pride in; being independent of the men from . whom they ouy. One of the most continuous drains. on the brewers is for handsome signs, When the New York brewers visitod | ; Chicago to attend the late brewors' convention held there, they noticed that the various competing brands of beer were advertised on the outkide of the saloons_on ordinary 50 cent placards. In New York nothing lups costly than a permancnt wire swing- ing sign will satisfy the saloon keepor and indeed the brewers themselves do not often in thiy viciuit; complain of the cost of these. Thoy consist of & galvanized wire woven in broad mesh- s, to which on each side is affixed pieces of tin, The brewers' name and trade mark are lithograped by an lnga’m«:pu _du\-bilwk on these ieces of tin in blac] and gols Il"hoy aro almost all abous two (ut“ung [y , quare, and although each bréwer's device is distinetive, yot the sigus proscnt a renurkablo siinilarity in appearance, In fuct, there is no class of signs except the barbers and the itle bluo signs of the Western Union Telegraph company that so un- erringly indicate to casual observer the pature of the busiuess they ad: v . For this reason they ure hy, valuod by most of the salo keapors. 1 Somo saloon keepers will not have them, because, thoy say, they will not have anything to indicat: that they “belong to” any brewer. The brewers buy these sivas, fifty or o hundred at o time, at & cost of from 23 to 85 a pieps, | ¢ are alinost ag ranny of them wwingtug in ‘this city and in neighboring places as there are &aloons, ue of the incidental effects of the recent strike of brewery workmen was 2’ lfllflm of & anent associa- m of brewers, roposal has been wmade in that mhtl:on that the mem- bers agree not to give customers cost- 1y mgns.

The plate of glass is 80 largo that the wooden frame that holds it is made half a foot thick to be in proportion. Another brewer represents his trade mark 1n a highly artistic manneron a large plate of glass cut in the same way. ornatents the walls of some of his biggest customers with his portraits. All of the eight brewers in this vicini by are, or have been, doing mote than they think they ought to do ‘in this direction. A few of the largest of them declare they have stopped it. One of the latest wrinkles in out- signs fencing the awning in front and on each nide. The letters are in gold on black and inclose a chromatic me- aallion, There arc two outside signs above the awnings of saloons in Brooklyn, near the Fulton Ferry, which cost 8160 each. A New York brower has started the fashion of large curved signs to go around the corner of a corner store. They are gay with colors. —_— The Lime-Kiln Clubon Grain Spe cunlation.

Stowaway Emigrants. From the London Telegraph, / Not very long ago T was standing on the quay of a North Country port when a cattle-ship hauled alongside, Her decks were full of horned beasts, and what with the bellowing of these animals, the hissing of steam, the shouts of the seamen and the whirr of a great steam wiuch, the uproar in tolerably confusing. 1n the midst of the heasts 0 sy, Dobbing and glowering among the stalls, with ashen faces and sandy hair, and pic- turesquely wild raiment, were some forty fifty men, women and chil- Who are thos asked o bystinder, was the answer. “Hmigrants!’ I ex. claimed. “Surely these cattle-ships don't Yy emigranw.” - “Yeos they do,” suid the man. “‘And where do they sleep,” T enquired. *“Among the cattle - in the forepeak—in the leo seuppers—anywheres. They're more stowaways than emigrants. ~ They pay a triflo for the passage.
