(H R SHOE PACTORY.
If there's any thing that's dear loan
American citissen, it's the right office
speech! The grand reason Is that every
I human being has a right to the public
car. If a man can u.it speak, others
can not hear. The right of free speech
1 is the priceless jreui of the human soul,
I and a man that don't allow another
man the rlghl to talk i- a barbarian.
j If these facts are true and 1 am positive
they arc, does it nut cause us all to say,
I behold our Shoe Factory which w
i speechless ami m i;- i nfaney. In order
to stimulate a laudable rivalry among
I the employes of this Pactory and to se
cure greater efficiency and clarify the
service in this institution we must In
j troduce a system of promotion-, which
I I believe may prove successful if pm
I perly applied. If we award those em
ployes whether male or female, w ho
are deserving them and then only will
we realize the value of emulation.
Some idea of the accurate memory,
and of the quickness of thought, ijulck
uess of hand and fisit by all employes
required, may be gained by careful
study.
I prefer to do tliin im, not to tnlk only,
and yet when occasion requires, we
must he ready to speak. If there is any
person in this factory, who thinks he
has reached ! he limit ofpcr'cctl he
ought to retire. W hat i- wanted is,
persons who propose and expeel to do
better to-morrow than they are doing
to-day. ',. must call conferences of
Inspectors and superintendents, we
iniisi solicit the critii Ism ol $ I able
bodied men, we must e.v - ry part
of our own liodies, for t his system can
not be reformed until we II ml oul what
Is the matter with it, and w here Is the
leak. We ought to run this factory a
if there were another factory across the
street competing with us, and we were
trying to all the buslm We have
no secret to withhold from the public
for perhaps nearly all may know that
this factory was not self-supporting dui
lug the year 1900. This factory is not
a set of public buildings, and a hook of
regulations, but it is the bruins, hearts
and money of sixty or seventy of our
men and women and its goodness is
measured by the Intelligence and d
votion of the silent, Btendy every-day
workers, such as you whostandal your
office cases or tread the streets from
door to door, with your heavy burdens
of care.
I do uol think that any one man
knows it all. Each of us may learn
from the highest to the lowest. Weare
a very foolish people if we shut our cars
and eyes to w hat ot hers arc doing. I
often pick up things from strangers,
We positively need and must have the
public sentiment In our favor to suc
ceed. You must help. You 1 1 1 11 t give
us your wit and wisdom and not tell
your girls and boys that they must
have more wages; for that would h ad
from had to worse; hut tell them they
iimsi nun oui more peneci wora 101
the wages they are getting. Weare!
ever on the alert for new and good in-
formation and weare busv nrenarluu' to
use it. We should never give up con
tests upon which we enter and we
should never be satisfied at the close of
the day unless something has beeu ac
complished. Let us all work in harmony, let us go
forward inviting others to accompany
us, ami Id us inspire conildencc in
t hose w ith whom we are associated, to
such an extent that success is w ritten
on whatever we undertake from the
very start Onkokthe Managers.

The Credit System bj Kunkle Walter.
We sincerely believe that the credit
system i- our worst enemy in this
wide world. It Keep- capital tied Up
without remuneration, vastly increases
the risks of the luisiii. ss, causes failures,
raises prices and makes a lo- in profits.
Every cent's worth of stock sold on
credit represents t hat amount of money
without interest. And hotv often do
we receive iii return curses, abuses,
disasters, lian'-knocks, delay- and ile
feats. Outstanding accounts on which
no money could he realized u hen need
ed have caused more failure-than lack
of capital in this vocation, I'ncollect
idle accounts render ii absolutely m-
cessary t tint casii ouyersor those wim
pay for their gisids, make up the lo-s,
conse(Uently causing higher prices for
the buyer, and smaller profits for the
merchant. I- it any wonder that
RunklotSi Wallet turn the cold should
er to the credit system '.'
" is far better and safer to ,,. sii,.
000 worth of goods and ge-l the cash for
them, than to dispose of $15,000 worth
.and lose a third of the crcdil given, j
' ur dear rendi rs, i- it any wonder thai
' r our enure siock ui a uiscouiuig
of 20 percent, and much of II at 50 peri..
I cent, discount for spot cash or produce.
And believing and tru-tin
i will never turn I k to the
that w e
redll sys-
tciii again, we wish to announce to the
public that we are positively determin
ed to close out our entire stock of gen
eral merchandise at a discount of 20
per cent, and some at 50 per cent, dur
ing the next 00 days, and we want
everybody to know it; and kindly in

secured $1.50 m money and at Duilkel
berger's they took luncheon.
At all of these places their d. prada
lions were undiscovered, except al
Simonton's, Barber heard the move
ment of the latch on the door a- the
robber was entering his sleeping room.
Barber asked the intruder w ith a dark
lantern w hat he w anted and he politely
and decisively told Barberto keepqulet
or he would puncture his anatomy
w ith a bullet. The midnight mechanic
grasped Barber's trousers and vest and
disappeared from the room. Unfor
tunately Mr. Si ii ion ton was unprepared
to meet the robber with the kind of
reception to which he was entitled.
On the preceding night robbers were
at Selinsgrove and ransacked a number

booty.
