I’ of the Albany Com- mercial Travelers’ club, at a rvecent meeting of the club, will be read with interest by many outside the ranks of the “drummers’” and by business men generally. The practice of selling goods through tHe medium of the commercial traveler was originally an Knglish'one. e has been, and promises for all time to be, a very escntial factor in the business economy there, as & long and successful test of the plan has proven the wisdom of its ndoption. e has been written about in prose and poetry in Bnglish literature so much that he secms a purt of their vory institution. Charles Dick- ens, 1 his story of the “Uncommercial Traveler, in introducing him snys: *No Jandiord is my friend, no chambermaid loves me, no waiter worships me; no vound of beef, tongue or ham,ise: pressly cooked for me. No hotel ady visemoent i Iam not rated atalow figure in the bill, and when I get home I never get any commissions, I know nothing of prices, and should have no idea,if I were put to it, how to wheedle a man iuto ocdering something he doesn’t waut. [ am ravely to be found in a gig, and am never to be encountered by a pleasure train waiting on the platform of a branch station, quite a Draid i the midst of alight stonchenge of sampies.” - s personally addressed to me; This is a very cleve itive upon the commercial traveler, his habits and acts, by a close student of English life and ectstoms. Human nature is pretty much the same the world over, and [ have no doubt that there, as here, our brethren like the best hotel and gracotully accept as their right its fin- estroou nd whatever luxuries its larder holds, monopo in the car when tra upon the shady side, desire the outside or inside of the 'bus, as the weather may be pleasant or disagreeuble. Be- sides, they insist upon reduced rates and an extra allowance of baggage. But there, as bere, they are ev: energetic and ve, fully abr the times, hail all enterprises as forerunncr of progr believe in their profession, labor hard to advance their employers’ interests, realizing that they ure enhancing their own value, The old method of doing business in country has been revolutionized by advent of the commercial tr ler. Formerly the merchants usnally made 1wo trips a year to market, spring and fall, settling the one season for goods purchased at the other. My improssion is that nothing 5 done before the middle of the pr t contu here in selling goods from samples. About 1850 afow pioncers of the new mothod made occasional trips to visit, us they called it, between times (referring to the ex- pected rogular callof the merchant when in mariet), taking with them a fow nov- elties, just to intercst the customer and secure an order, if possible, to pay the 1ses of the teip, It was decidedly ertain how the merchant would ts this new innovation, It was no slight task in those days to go about through the country. In many places it w done by means of tenms entirely. were few, end farmbouses were often the salesiman’s stopping place. It was weury plodding for & number of years, for it took some time to cstablish the stutus of the commercial traveler, Upon the occasion of his regular call, he was expected to stay until the community was thoroughly posted upon what was going on in the outside world. About the time: of the warof the rebellion breaking out, business generally came t a standstill, and the commercial weaveler’s fate hung in the balance, but after o long war secemed inevitable and was finally inaugurated, everything changed, business began to be done upon a high pressurc plan. Affuirs gonerally became inflated. Goods were bought and sold at large fits and constuntly increased in § The demand was active t once the commercinl t ler gprong into a4 permanent existence, Men were in great demand, and, in all new movements, good, bad, and in- different responded to the call, They were put upon the road at once to mect the exigency of the times, No atten- tion, us a rule, was paid to their moral qualitications; only resuits were sought aflter, without regurd to the quality of the means employed. As 4 result of this indiscriminate employing of men and the peculiar atmosphore surcound- ing public ana private affairs at the time, wany of the commercial travelers brought disgrace upon themselves and reproach upon the profession generally that it has tuken years to remove. This condition of affaivs continued until the war closed, thon came a change in busi- ness ¢ Luflation censed, goods fell greatly in prices, the demand for them becume more regular and steady, trade de- crensed though the supply was still large, aud not so many men were noed Then come the time when those that had taken careof themselves, and bad doveloped aptitude for the ealling, wero retuined, und from thea uutil now, great care in the selection of a whole seat ng, and that men to travel has beon exercised. Abil- ity and integrily are very essential qualifications in this, as in all other walks of life thal tend toward success and honor. Few stop to think into how large an army wo have grown and what vast resulls are achioved. There must be 20,000 in our ranks in th day whose sales will aggreg 000,000 or more per y T'his manner of selling goods has so increased that to-day embrac everything almost that = it is possible to _soll. For awhile quite a number of merchants and manufactarers would not employ the new menns of disposing of goods, but finally they had to adopt it and fall into line, in order to retain their busi- ness. No doubt there are any number of business men who feel chagrined at the prevailing mothod, but at the pres- ent tine the commercialtraveler has be come 80 woven into the wool and warp of the business of our country s to be insoparablo, and that the wisest thing for all the trade to do is to uccept the condition of affai 3y means of the ommercial traveler nd towns, not natural markets for the wholesale trade, are enabled to do alarge and luceative business, Nov- elties und sperialtics in goods and man- ufnctured acticles ave brought directly to the dealer, and frequent sales made to him which the merchants would never have thought of buying or even of looking them up if he had not been solicited. The present condition of the traveler himself is better than it has ever been, for the reason thut he knows, in order to give satisfaction to his em- ployer and win the confidence of his customers, he must bo upright and honorable in his dealings with them. I have been almost a quarter of a century in the ranks, with many op- vortunities for observation, and I yearly notice the great improvement gradually taking place in the profession. A higher standard of morality has been reached. Tove of home and things beaatiful, and I really believe that our profession, taken as o whols, stands the peer of any class of men to-d No one can know unless he has tried the amount of temprations that besets a traveling man in such un unrestrained life as he leads, away from home in- fluences and heyond its watchful cave. But they are to-day casting aside those samo temptations and standing firm. I would say toany that are just starting out on t ad” that they “will find it full as hara to resist the tomptations as it is to sell good Dry Territery. Bverybody in northwestern and southwestern Nebraska knows Field and Garrett, the fluent and versatile hat and cap men who represont Par- rotte & Co. in this territory. They were both in la 0 and, as all the world can imagine, were full of good bhumor and gossip of their travelsand adventures. They do not picturs the country they cover in the most roseate hues imaginable, though they say thero are some good towns. Wao can not do much down there,” said one of them, “in competition with St. Joseph and the Missouri towns until we get better railrond facilities. “If the Rock Island would build in from Fairbury, Omuha would have the cinch on the bulk of the trade in north- western Kausas, As it is now we must ship clear down to Atchison and back again, which, you can imagine, very seriously handicaps us. “That is a pretty good country to look after, 0o, by the w 1f the history of Kansas other western statcs s any precedent the cultivation of the lana and tree plunting will banish the drouth and transform the semi-deserts into fruitful elds.

It was on this point that the ministorial guest at the house took issue with Roe, and their argument was listened to by an inter- ested audience of loungers. Finally Roo, as a clincher to his argument, ex- claimed: “Why, a cigar saved my life once.” He was urged to relate the circum- stance, and did so. “I was in New York last Iobruary, and came home over the Grand Trunk from Buffalo to Detroit, through Can- ada. I wentinto the smoker ono even- ing and was just enjoying my cigar whon supper was announced. Anothor traveling man, a friend of mine, asked me to take supper with him. 1 asked him to wait until I finished my Havana, and he took a soat at my side. Two minutes later there was a crash.

A Solemn Pledge. 'l never do it again in my life.” This sentence was uttered by a well known drummer, representing an Omaha firm, during a conversation with a fellow travelerat the Barker hotel yosterday. Tho third man had just avrived upon the sceno in time to catch the above utterance. He was also a kmght of the grip, and to him the story was repeated. “Tt’s like this,” said the Omaha man, “When out on the road I endeavor to be as courteous and ovliging as possible to my customers, and if any members of the family are around 1 t them tho same wi Well, down at Grand Island about one week ago, 1 sold one of my customers a_good round bill of gooc On credit ?
