The best thing we have seen iu
the matter of going over to Port
land to trade was an instance
brought to our notice by Mr. Ed
mondson, our enterprising plumber.
Rprentlv a eentlenian came to him
for a bill of plumbing and plumbing
fixtures and secured me price.
Evidently the price did not suit as
the gentleman went to tne city tor
bis goods and in a few days Mr.
E. received from the Portland
firm a credit slip for the full amount
of the profit on the bill of goods.
If all the Portland houses would do
this we would have nothing to say
nhmit our neonle tradine there, as
it would save our merchants the
freight charges and the trouble of
handling the goods Here.
Messrs. Butterworth and Scar
brough have moved into their new
nuarters in the Bickner block. The
new rooms are very neat and these
gentlemen know how to take advan
