OLDEST TRAVELLING .MAN '
IN WORLD HERE TODAY

Seven Times and Still
on the Job.

the hitlory of thi tntcretii g gentle
nun. Hit title it dean of traveling
men, for he is without doubt, accord
ing to "The Sample Case," the offi
cial ortfan of the United Travelling
.Men, the oldest travelling man on the
road, in point of service, at least
Mr. Flciiig has been w ith Win. Crow
ley & Soin Co., of keclditch, England,
for 66 yean, and has been coming to
Albany about 40 years, or since the
railroad was ftrftubu.lt. He hat been
selling needles all these years, circl
ing the globe seven times, and num
bers his friends by the thoutand,
among them kings, queens, nobles,
prriideulft, and people in all walks
of life.
At the St- l-'ranris hotel today Mr.
Fleisig granted the Democrat a short
interview before tr.nn time and re
vealed parts of his life and the history
of his familyy He was born in Ger
many 78 years ago. but he does not
look a day over 55. His ees are
brown, rlear and snappy, his h-ir iron
grey, with the darker shade predom
inating. His smile is cordial, and
with each ripple In his expression he
shows a wealth of gold in his teeth.
His home is at Alhainbra. California,
where he makes his headquarters. H:
has a brother 95 years old, and in
Saxon. Germany, his grandmother
lives and at the age of136 years the
is well and happy and eats three meals
every day. Three years ago he at
tended the celebration of the 100th an
niversary of the wedding of an uncle
and aunt in Isonbalgi, Hungary, the
uncle now being ' 123 and the aunt
119 years old. They have lived all
their life in this - village, and now
blind and nearly deaf they arc r ever
red and attended with loving care by
worshiping relatives. A hall ol over
250 known living descendants attend
ed the celcbrattoiw Mr. Flaisig is
ready to take another trip to the old
country and w ill stop in Texas to pick
up a daughter to accompany him.
Mr. Flaisig says that his bouse is
paying full salaries to the families of
its employes who arc with the army
in France anJ Belgium. They did the
same thing with him when the Civil
war broke out in this country and he
fought with a northern regiment dur
ing the four years of the war.
"My company makes needles; brass
;ifcty- pins and pin novelties," he
said, "and the war has ahectcd our
business materially by the government
tuking all the brass supply it can get.
Hut we will take care of our American
trade, for the war has hurt our trade
ar home and in Kuropc.' '
Mr. Flaisig is an owner of silver
mines in Mexico, and knows that war
ridden country like a hook. He is
acquainted with Diaz Huerta. Car
rauza. Villa, and knew SaUar, Obce
gon and many others now dead and
living. In his opinion Villa is the
only man who can hold the country
together. Villa would accept the head
oi the army, but he wants peace. He
n !es with an iron hand, and is th?
man to bring the country out of the
chaos, thinks our vis-a-vis . Carranza
is not strong enough to keej. up the
ftovcrnment and Zapata is too barbar
ous. He would kill off all opponents
without even a trial. Villa once was
in employe in the mines oi Mr. Flai
sig's company. These mines that used
to produce over $5J per month now
cost over $3000 per mouth to main
tain.
Mr. Flaisig is comfortably fixed as
to money, but like most old knight of
the grip, the itch is in his feet and he
cannot stay at home. "Seventy-eight
years old and still at it." is on his
card.

Unanimously Elected at Last

Will Take Active Part in Build

For the City.
Althe meeting of the Commercial
club Monday night W. A. Eaatburn
was unanimously elected manager of
the club for the coining year- Last
evening he formally accepted the po
sition, and will begin the duties of the
office the first of October. Mr. East
l.tirn considered the matter for several
days, having another offer from a
neighboring city, with a higher salary;
but prefers to remain in Albany. He
has a wide reputation as a hustler in
whatever he undertakes, business
from the jump-otf, a worker early and.
late. Whatever he has been connect
ed with he has made a success of.
Starting here oil the Santiam, with a
garden tract, he made it a paying
property. Then he went into the gro
cery business in Albany and built up
a fine business. Following that he be
came interested in the Albany Com
mission Co., which has been a suc
cess. Whatever is up before the com
mercial club he may be depended up
on to be on the job, and not leave it
for others, a live wire. -The time is
ripe for aggressiveness along promo
tion lines. The great peed of the day
here is more pay rolls, whether small
or big, and it is up to the club to jump
on top of -whatever comes in sight.
On the street is heard a good many
emarks of the things attempted here
that did not go through. Th.-.t is a
part of experience everywhere: bur it
is asserted that it has for several years
been a little more so here. Mr. East
Snrn may be relict! upon to put all his
