The dry Salter that mysterious
tradesman was at the time of the great fire a dealer in salted or dry
meats, pickles, sauces, etc., but he no longer drysalts, but sells instead, drugs, dyestuffs, colors and chemicals, and even buttons. His changed business is due to the fact that the
"grocer" and the "Italian warehouse man" have captured his original trade, although they have mercifully left him

Peary's Own Story Thrilling Adventures in Arctic Hunting: Preparations for the Long Night Here in quick, terse language as vivid and dynamic as lightning, Commander Peary describes the great hunting ; the stocking up of game food, deer, musk oxen, and polar bear; the laying-to of the Roosevelt fbr the long winter night amid the ice, awaiting the Spring and the sunlight for the final dash. No narrative s since Caesar's own book on the Gallic Wars has contained such graphic detail handled in so simple and self-revelatory a style. De Bello Gallico is a Latin Classic; Peary's Discovery of the North Pole, as instalment after instalment appears, is slowly forming the conviction in men's minds that here is an Anglo-Saxon Classic.
The Great Millionaire Mill The Story of the Southern Pacific Railroad System and the Great Fortunes Created by It By Charles Edward Russell For the first time the true record of this powerful organization is recounted, giving information from private letters, court records, etc. Mr. Russell's minute analysis of the careers of Collis P. Huntington, Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Mark Hopkins throws a strong searchlight upon American railroad methods; shows how the whole state of California was throttled; how the "ultimate consumer has had a staggering burden of debt put upon his shoulders to increase his cost of living.
