THE FOLLOWING IS TAKEN FROM THE NEW YORK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE AND COMMERCIAL BULLETIN: - "The Golden Rule Syndicate of Buyers doing business in seventeen west ern and middle western abates, are at their offices at the Broadway Central Hotel in this city. TheHe gentlemen buying for their various stores are heavy users of merchandise and their purchases are largely sought for by the largest and best manufacturers of the East, owing to their immense outlet. " " "These stores do an aggregate of five million dollars annually, and are rated in the mercantile agencies as being one of the strongest organizations in the country. In view of this their trade is very desirable, and they as buyers are regarded as experts in their line. They are entitled to buy their merchandise very much iower than the ordinary merchant, in fact are considered to be on a 'STRICTLY JOBBING BUSINESS.' The buying power they possess gives them a wonderful advantage over their competi tors and the growth of this wonderful organization clearly demonstrates its stability and strength." ' ' .'
