might as well undertake to describe In one brief lecture all the adventures of an
eventful voyage around the world as to picture in one advertisement all tin
varied beauties and excellence* of our world-wide, world-round exposition.

In these active time*, when inquiry is busy and all men are tensely striving
for victory in the battle of life we recognize'the changed conditions that encom
pass u* and have so girded ourselves for the struggle, YY’e face the fact with
out fear for we are not in competition with the shopkeeper who is rusting awav
life’* golden hours while he sits loncRomelv amidst his cart load of good*, but
that quick transit and the enterprUe of this high pressure age have brought to
our very door* the pushing rivalry of the neighboring cities of our own and
sister tftate. x
Accepting that true condition of affairs we are prepared to meet it* most ur
gent and exacting tests. If W'e cannot hold our own in such an emulation of ef
fort and enterprise we need not, can not and do not expect, hope or care for the
crowning of our campaign with the honor* of victory and the golden rewards oi
triumph. YY e have counted the cost and made preparation before entering upon
this w ar with the veterans of mercantile service and we kmyw that we will com
mand success by deserving it. YY’e will win our way to the confidence of the peo
ple by the tactic* that have not known failure since the birth of time. In giv
ing them goods suited to their every need and desire and at prices that they can
pay and that no opposition can venture to offer to approach we shall prove every
w eek day in the year that wo have
