Scene, P. M.'s. 



Salesmen are rushing about. "Dad- 

 dy" is industriously sweeping the floor. 

 Enter John C. Gracey. 



Gracey — "You are working hard. 

 Daddy." 



Daddy — "You work ten times as 

 hard; your brain is working all the 

 time." 



Now where did Daddy get that? 



Confidence. 



The following extract from Edward 

 Keid 's price list for November 23 should 

 be read with interest: 



Business is based on confidence. Have you lost 

 yours? 



Dullness in business Is more often caused by 

 ill *.*'' confidence in the future than by actual 

 existing conditions at the moment. It is true at

 conditions we will find that About ninety per ci-nt 

 j8 Imaginary. What Is happening now? ■ There 

 >8 a greater demand for food products abroad 



than was ever before. We are and will export 

 more than at any time in our history. Woolen 

 mills, shoe manufacturers and others are already 

 feeling the effect of foreign orders. With the 

 crippling of many lines of business abroad, cor- 

 responding lines In this country must supply thoir 

 necessities. Not only must our producers produce 

 for our own great population, but also for the 

 vast population of Europe as well. Everyone 

 should make up his mind to prepare at once for 

 the prosperity which is near at hand. What are 

 you doing towards It? 



Beck Beproduces Bowl. 



Carl Reck, of John Reck & Son, 

 Bridgeport, Conn., made a window dis- 

 play of unusual interest in honor of 

 the Yale-Harvard football game. It 

 was an exact reproduction in miniature 

 of the wonderful Yale bowl where 70,- 

 000 persons are estimated to have wit- 

 nessed the game November 21. Mr. 

 Reck went over to New Haven to see 

 the bowl before executing his plan of 

 reproducing it in his firm's window. 

 Reck 's bowl was six feet long and three 

 feet six inches wide. The gridiron field 

 was of sheet moss, the seats and por- 

 tals of tile. A team of eleven players 

 in blue was opposed to a team of eleven 

 players in crimsqn. The goal posts and 

 side lines were exactly as they should 

 be. A floral touch was added by 

 bunches of violets adorning the portals 

 in honor of Old Eli, while bunches of 



crimson chrysanthemums decorated the 

 remaining half of the portals as a trib- 

 ute to fair Harvard. The much talked 

 of depression in this bowl playing field 

 was faithfully reproduced. 



I am indebted for the description of 

 this ingenious piece of workmanship to 

 Robert Q. Shoch, who saw the window 

 just before the game and felt it de- 

 servedly scored one for Bridgeport. 



John Reck is credited with that now 

 famous utterance regarding boys work- 

 ing together: "When you have one 

 boy, you have a boy; when you have 

 two boys, you have half a boy; when 

 you have three boys, you have no boy 

 at all." 



Various Notes. 



A. L. Fortunes has a store devoted to 

 ferns and galax at 1626 Ludlow street, 

 where he proposes to distribute these 

 greens to all who may desire them dur- 

 ing the coming season. 



M. H. Beckley, Palmer's Corner, Pa., 

 has erected three greenhouses, one of 

 them 300 feet long, for carnations and 

 bulbs. Thomas Beattie, formerly at 

 Strafford, Pa., is foreman in charge. 



Robert Q. Shoch has returned from 

 down east.
