We believe in doing business in an honest, candid and open manner. To one and all our record and life is au opeu book. They are not made up of fires, failures and misrepresentations. Once on a time in our history a fire started in a hotel next to us and burned us out completely. Here's the story: One oolrl night in November, right well do I remember, Belgium's Capital the Bright gathered at a hotel 'next door to a shop that was peeked with dry goods and clothing. Of course it c sl till morn. I was not'i was no sleep v , t the party. Harry and I went to our private boarding house cottage. About 5 a. m. •we heard the fire bell and hurriedly dressed and just got there in time to hear the cannon's opening roar. Honest Pete told us that the Jimmie Cole who lights the fire in the back kitchen in the hotel caused spontaneous combustion, The fire broke the win- dows in the store next to it, which was packed with dry goods, ready-to-wear clothing, The Smith store only had a slight insurance which was given up to his creditors, and 0 my his credit went high. One of the principal whole- sale men said that he did what one roan out of a thousand wouldn't do— would pay if rejuvenated, 200 cents on the 5. The man who iscalled by some the selfish man, was then compelled to be good to the poor, as the poor poked in the fire and carried home the half burned webs of cotton and flannel, and thousands of dollars worth of clothing was burned to ashes. But enough said on that subject. The next panic was as Hannibal says --did not get the neces- sary supplies from an envious faction: consequence another race of creditors took all—it was steal, on their part.
