Go slowly, please! The winter is 
long enough here on the North Shore at 
its best. 
WE would remind hotel guests and 
others, who are among the “‘ transient ”’ 
readers of the Breeze, that the paper is 
printed throughout the winter. _ Keep in 
touch with the North Shore this winter; 
have the paper mailed to your city ad- 
dress ! 
Other communities, apparently, are 
having their fish troubles as well as the 
North Shore, judging from the following 
piece of news: 
‘* An unparallelled sight was witnessed 
by residents of Tuckerton, N. J., Wed- 
nesday morning, when milltons of fish, 
commonly called ‘moss bunkers,’ or 
porgies, invaded the head of Tuckerton 
creek. The fish were so thick that they

are supposed to have smothered, and the 
stream was soon jammed with the car- 
casses.”’ 
AppeEats! Page 3 of this issue might 
rightly be called a ““ page of appeals.’’ 
The Red Cross appeals always deserve 
our support. “The Fishermen’s Institute 
at Gloucester is also a most worthy ob- 
ject, and many North Shore people are 
regular subscribers toward its work. We 
call attention also to the little purse 
which the Breeze is taking upon itself, 
at the suggestion of several of the sum- 
mer cottagers, to raise for Prof. Conroy 
who has done such excellent work as 
life guard at Singing Beach this summer. 
He has saved two lives, one after a most 
desperate stuggle for his own life. He 
deserves some recognition, especially in- 
asmuch as he has been giving his services 
at the beach absolutely free. 
THe last issue of the Salem Gazette, 
one of the oldest papers in the country, 
was printed last Saturday. ‘The paper 
was established on Oct. 14, 1736, as the 
Salem Mercury, by John Dabney and 
Thomas C. Cushing. On Jan. 5, 1790, 
it was called the Salem Gazette. Up to 
Jan. 3, 1794, it was a weekly paper, and 
on that date it was changed toa semi- 
weekly. This semi-weekly was 
tinued down to 1892, when 
changed to a daily paper. 
A weekly edition called the Essex 
County Mercury was started in 1831 and 
continued for 60 yearsormore. Among 
the men who made the Gazette famous 
were Hon. Caleb Foote, who remained 
with it more than 60 years, and Nathaniel 
A. Horton, who was one of the editors 
for nearly a half-century and who made 
its editorial page a great power. 
During the last 15 years the Daily Ga- 
zette has had amore or less checkered 
career, passing through various hands.

Editor North Shore Breeze. 
Dear Sir: 
On a recent Saturday evening, | Ba: 
on the platform of the Boston & Maine 
station and was surprised to notice the 
number of persons who boarded the train 
either for Salem or Gloucester (a majority 
for the latter.) Upon enquiry, I found. 
that several of these folk were regularly 
in the habit of going to purchase (out- 
of-town) things needful and otherwise, 
paying cash for them and hoping in this 
way to save something. 
How little do they think, perhaps,, 
about the credit they have received all the 
other days of the week from local mer- 
chants, who would gladly receive good 
cold cash and give as equal return as the 
other stores. 
For example, a married couple, with: 
a family, left children at home, walked’ 
three miles, rode fourteen miles (carfare 
sixty cents cash), and shopped along 
crowded streets for nearly two houts, 
spending over fifteen dollars for a few 
common necessities. Upon their return, 
they figured out that by staying at home, 
the house and children would have been 
cared for, nervous and tired bodies would 
not have resulted, and even a cash sav- 
ing would be theirs of nearly two dol- 
lars. 
Of course, we must admit that for 
several articles a discount can be given 
by the large merchant which our local 
dealers cannot make, still the fact re-. 
mains, that the expense of running a 
business of any kind, employing town 
help, could the more easily be met. if 
these same bargain hunters would stay 
at home, pay spot cash and insist on fair 
prices. [t appears to me that a pressure 
is bearing down on our store keepers, 
which should be lefted before a crash 
comes. Both sides may be at fault and’ 
the helpfulness in such cases should be‘ 
mutual. At any rate, first give your at- 
tention to home patronage before others 
capture your talents.
