vention league last week, on the matter 

 of inviting the S. A. F. to meet here in 

 1909. The meeting was highly success- 

 ful and resulted in the league extending 

 its hearty support, both morally and 

 financially, which more than ever gvtar- 

 antees that if the S. A. F. decides to come 

 to this city in 1909 we will be in a po- 

 sition to give them a great welcome and 

 a convention that will go down in his- 

 tory as one well fitting to be the twenty- 

 fifth anniversary. For the S. A. F. was 

 born in Cincinnati twenty-four years 

 ago. 



From all indications, the society meet- 

 ing called for July 11 will be well at- 

 tended. There is more enthusiasm abroad 

 in the society now than there has been 

 for many years. It is expected that 

 many new mergers will be taken in and, 

 with th^ business that will come before 

 this meetiAg, it will be well worth while 

 for all the members to make an extra 

 effort to be present. 



Various Notes. 



The wholesale houses arc nbw closing 

 at 5 p. m. during the months of July 

 and August, and there is a movement on 

 foot to close at noon on Saturdays. It 

 is to be hoped that thi« will go through, 

 as there is practically no business on 

 Saturday afternoons and, for that mat- 

 ter, there is next to nothing doing any 

 afternoon. Ten o'clock sees the business 

 ^or the day done at this time of the 

 year. So it is just a question of keep- 

 ing open the rest of the day so as not 

 to get too used to loafing. 



D. Rusconi spent a few days in Day- 

 ton, O., last week. 



J. A. Peterson expects to visit Chicago 

 on a business trip soon. 



Charles Dieterich, of Maysville, Ky., 

 was a visitor July 5, and Martin Reu- 

 kauf dropped in July 6, on his way home 

 after a nine weeks' trip through the 

 west, touching California points.
