Mr. Bayersdorfer Talks. 



Harry Bayersdorfer chatted pleas- 

 antly with the newspaper men on cur- 

 rent topics one afternoon this week. 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer intimated that there 

 would be something doing soon; his 

 firm had, he said, a remarkably strong 



line 6f supplies, considering conditions; 

 the shipments detained at Rotterdam 

 and other ports by the British block- 

 ade were giving lots of trouble; they 

 were his firm 's property and must be 

 paid for though away over the bright 

 blue sea. Our government had been 

 appealed to so far in vain. Senator 

 Penrose wrote Mr. Bayersdorfer that 

 something might be done provided the 

 official chiefs would stay home and at- 

 tend to business instead of chautauquas, 

 which was funny but not satisfying. 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer said that novelties 

 continue to take up all his spare time, 

 pointing out an original pedestal, a 

 pleasing design intended to match an 

 exclusive pot cover. Turning from this 

 novelty to a lace paper bouquet holder, 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer grew reminiscent. 

 This revival of the old, he said, re- 

 called his first day in the supply busi- 

 ness, when as a boy his uncle, then 

 head of the leading supply firm of the 

 day, sent him with a wooden box full 

 of these bouquet holders under each 

 arm out the Ridge road to sell. Car- 

 fare, then 7 cents, was rarely allowed 



in those days, lest it would eat up the 

 profit, and good long walks out the 

 Ridge nearly to the Falls and then over 

 to Swampoodle, by which name Twen- 

 ty-second and Clearfield was then des- 

 ignated, were the result. Mr. Bayers- 

 dorfer traced the principal events in 

 supplies since then, so entertainingly 

 that his auditors were sorry when he 

 had finished. 



Various Notes. 



Gormley Montgomery, nephew of J. 

 H. Dunlop, the noted rosarian of To- 

 ronto, Canada, spent a little time in 

 this city last week. Mr. Montgomery 

 says that two more houses 60x400 feet 

 each will be added to the three now 

 in operation on his uncle's place. The 

 newer roses, Mrs. Charles Russell, Lady 

 Alice Stanley and Mrs. George Shaw- 

 yer, are favored. Richmond and the 

 Providence strain of "White Killarney 

 are preferred in their colors. 



William J. Baker is serving on the 

 jury in the Municipal court this week 

 and the fortnight following.
