Best Results With Less Ice 



The condition of your stock does not depend upon the amount of ice 

 you use. It depends upon the cooling you get from the ice you use, and 

 this depends upon the patented system of refrigeration which you find 

 in the McCray Refrigerator. The proper circulation of pure, iresh air 

 keeps perishable stock fragrant, and in perfect, strong condition. At 

 the same time it uses very little ice.

GENERAL BUSINESS. 



The E. G. Dun & Co. commercial 

 agency sums up the general business sit- 

 uation for November 1 as follows: 



"More seasonable weather gives the 

 necessary stimulus to an adequate distri- 

 bution of necessaries, and there is larger 

 buying in the leading retail lines. Food 



{)roducts, apparel and footwear move f ree- 

 y, while recovery appears in furniture, 

 carpets, jewelry and art wares. Buyers 

 attend the wholesale merchandise cen- 

 ters in numbers comparing favorably with 

 this time last year, mail orders come for- 

 ward steadily from the western territory 

 and dealings advance in spring goods. 



"A sharp gain is seen in demand for 

 Christmas novelties, this business having 

 an encouraging outlook, in contrast with 

 a year ago. Dry goods trades report 

 scarcity of some materials now urgently 

 called for to replenish stocks, and much 

 of the personal buying reflects a disposi- 

 tioii to secure f uUer needs for the winter. 



* ' Shipments reach a good aggregate in 

 woolens, linens, knit goods, clothing, and 

 house furnishings, while groceries, canned 

 and wet goods, and smokers' supplies 

 bulk better than at this time last year, 

 when these latter lines were severely 

 checked. Eeports from the agricultural 

 sections continue to be reassuring for fu- 

 ture trade, corn husking well and win- 

 ter wheat showing good growth. Crop 

 marketings thus far have been exception- 

 ally heavy at prices averaging a higher 

 level. 



"Country bank deposits exceed all 

 previous records, and less currency is 

 withdrawn from <the money centers, indi- 

 cating increased purchasing power which 

 must soon mfluence manufactures. Mer- 

 cantile collections show slowness on city 

 bills, but country settlements mainly run 

 prompt. ' ' 



Augusta, Ga. — P. J. Berkmans is 

 pushing the horticultural features of the 

 Georgia-Carolina fair. 



OsHKOSH, Wis. — The Miles Co. has 

 built three additional houses and an 

 office, at a cost of about $3,000.

Waltham, Mass.— When James Sil- 

 man insisted that he must first call up a 

 bank 'and ascertain its worth before ac- 

 cepting a check for $20 which was given 

 him by a strange woman in payment of 

 a bill for $15, the woman said he might 

 send the change to a Cambridge address 

 and left hastily. The check was worth- 

 less, and when the police, at Mr. Stil- 

 man's complaint, attempted to find the 

 woman, they learned that there was no 

 such address as she gave.
