No doubt business within a couple of hundred miles] of Chicago, at least, has been quite seriously and adversely disturbed by the fair—no small aujouut of money being expended at Phicago that was formerly distributed tojthe business ineu at home. Besides, it took no small sum for a "man with a wife and several children to goto the fair, alone including railroad iare, and admission,^even if he (did not tako ih many of the extra sights inside the grounds. During all this time business men everywhere have patiently waited for what may be due them, and now we repeat, that we owe it to ourselves to make an extra effort to square up all yound—as great an effort, at least, as we mado to get the necessary wherewith to go to the fair—and this applies to every branch of trade.

The process is very slow and laborious. but there have been instances where the 6eekcr has realized $10 per day. Three dollars per day has frequently been made.
