" Sewing Machines.—In reply to numerous letters, requesting information and advice with re¬ gard to the many sewing machines now in use, we gave in the July number of 'The Mother at Home' our own limited experience ; and also expressed a wish that others would favor our readers with the results of a larger and more thorough knowledge than our own. This suggestion has brought us letters* from all parts of the country, all with¬ out exception enthusiastically advocating the willcox & Gibbs Machine."—From ''The Mother at Homefor October^ 1869.—Mrs, Henry Ward Beecher^ editor. • About two hundred. PREFACE. IN presenting to the commercial public the CoMMEECiAli Travelleb's Guide Book, the compiler feels that he is rendering them a valuable • service. The immense labor involved in the preparation of the tables of population, stores, manufactories, &c., and in those of the valuation, capi¬ tal invested in manufactures, commerce, and trade, and annual products , of this investment, in the various States and cities of the country; the express and money-order offices, postal statistics, tariff and internal reve¬ nue lists, and tables of hotels, &c., &c., make the work more valuable to merchants and manufacturers as a shipping list and business manual than anything hitherto attempted. For the commercial traveller, to whom these and the history, laws, principles, and suggestions pertaining to his business are of still greater value, the work is entirely unique; and so severe and protracted has been the labor involved in its compilation, and so complete the results attained, that there is no reason to fear any competition." The book will be welcomed by the commercial travellers of the country most heartily, for it contains just the information they have long sought for in vain. Of course in a book so entirely statistical in its character, there will be some errors. We shall be glad to be apprised of any and all of them that may be found, and we especially desire commercial travellers,, or any other purchasers of the work, to inform the publisher of any which they may discover, and they shall be corrected as soon as possible. The great and unexpected delay in the issue of the preliminary report of the ninth census has compelled us to apply to the United States marshals in the several States for information, which has been obtained at a heavy ex¬ pense, and in some of the States has rendered it necessary to estimate (gen¬ erally from very ample data) the population of some of the smaller towns. > When the official report of the population of these places shall be pub¬ lished its figures will be substituted for those now given, whenever there is any material discrepancy. In the hope and belief that his protracted and severe labor will be fully appreciated by those for whom it is in¬ tended, the compiler makes his bow to the commercial public, and eX: presses his earnest wish that this book may be instrumental in greatly increasing their business. . • L.

HISTORY OP COMMERCIAL TRAVELLINO. rr^HE Commercial Traveller is an ontgrowtli of modern commerce and manufactures. The merchant princes of the East, gigantic as were their operations (and many of them transacted a business of larger annual amount than most of our greatest merchants), did not sell by sample, ♦ and did not employ agents or travellers to seek out custom¬ ers and procure orders for their goods. Their genius in traffic expended itself in making long journeys with richly laden caravans to those distant cities where, by common consent, buyers and sellers from all quarters assembled annually or semi-annually, for those great fairs in which half the world were the buyers, and the other half the sellers. Here they dwelt for two or three months in booths till their goods were disposed of. These gigantic fairs, in which property to the value sometimes of hundreds of millions of dollars changes hands, are still kept up in the East; and the great fair of Hishni-Hovgorod, on the eastern confines of European Eussia still calls to its booths tea and silk merchants from China and Japan, the fur dealers of Kamtschatka, Ochotsk, .Saghalien, the Amoor 18 THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S and Chinese Turkestan, the dealers in jewels and precious stones and metals from eastern Siberia, the shawl merchants of Cashmere, the perfumers of Syria and Damascus, the dealers in the swords, daggers and ataghans of that Da¬ mascus steel which no skill of the European artist has ever equalled, the leather, iron and platinum merchants of Northern Eussia, and the factors in grains and horses and I cattle of the Black Sea region. And such a time as they have! Babel, after the con¬ fusion of tongues, bore no comparison to the daily scenes of the Nishni-Novgorod fair, during its continuance. Every one is either buying or selling with the utmost clamor and vociferation, and all the tongues of the East are spoken within the limits of the fair. "Wall Street in a gold panic is most like to it, only that in "Wall Street the confusion is embraced within narrow limits, while at Nishni-Novgorod it extends all over the large city, and continues for weeks. This boisterous method of doing business did not suit the tastes of the great merchants of "Western Europe, and we find that very early in the history of those great commer¬ cial ports, Genoa, Pisa, Yenice, Marseilles, Hamburg, Lu- beck, Frankfort and Bremen, and London (though it was then but a small city and had a smaller trade than the con¬ tinental ports), ht a period not later than the beginning or middle of the fourteenth century, the Italian ports, and eighty towns composing the Hanseatic league, had begun to send out their agents to cities and towns of the interior and of other countries, with samples of their goods, and GUIDE BOOK 19 invitations to purchase. The want of good highways and . means of transporting goods was sadly in the way of the success of this kind of traffic, as, owing to the perils which attended either sea or land carriage—such as storms and pirates by sea, and by land, robbers and disasters from impassable roads—^it was always doubtful if goods could arrive in time. For nearly four centuries, both in Great Britain and on the continent, goods could be sold by sample only in the principal towns, where transportation by sea, or carriage by boats or ships on navigable rivers, or by great vans well guarded, over such highways as then existed, was practi¬ cable. Fairs were held at what were called market towns, and from these the smaller towns and villages were sup¬ plied ; while hawkers and peddlers toiled patiently with their heavy packs through the country. It was not until the latter part of the eighteenth century that the commer¬ cial travellers began to form a distinct class in the commu¬ nity. The rapid advance of commerce and manufactures, the great warehouses of London, Paris, Marseilles, Lyons, Genoa, Vienna, and other cities of Europe, filled to over¬ flowing with the products of their own and other lands, and the increasing tendency of most of the nations of Europe to luxury in dress and living, rendered a wider market for goods necessary, and a more thorough' canvass of the provincial towns and their dealers imperative. For the first time since the era of the early Eoman Empire, the roads between the great centres and the provincial cities 20 THE COJirMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S and towns began to be tolerable, and with their substantial improvement, the highway robbers, who had previously done a thriving business, found their vocation gone. As late as the middle of the last century, the roads leading from London to the other great cities of England and Scotland, were so execrable that a carriage was obliged to creep along at the rate of three or four miles an hour, and risk the danger of frequent overturns, even then. Much of the business was conducted by couriers on horseback, and the saddle was used by the gentry and nobility far more than the carriage. For heavy freighting the great lumbering van. was employed, a heavy wagon somewhat like our prairie schooners or Conestoga wagons, drawn by six or eight mules, or. huge N^orman horses. But the improve¬ ment in the roads and bridges under the direction of Tel¬ ford, McAdam, and other great civil engineers, in the last years of the eighteenth century, led to the introduction of the swift stage-coach, which DeQuincy has so eloquently glorified, which rolled over the hard and smooth highways at the then unprecedented speed of ten miles an hour, and the post-chaise, which bore travellers from town to country, and from one town to another, at a moderate cost. On the continent the diligences, a heavy lumbering style of stage-coach, drawn by any number of horses which might be requisite to transport the load over the roads, which were not as good, at this time, as in England, was I the popular conveyance for all men of business. At the commencement of this period, say about 1780, the GUIDE BOOK. 21 commercial traveller was indeed what Irving playfully calls him thirty or forty years later, " a knight errant." Mount¬ ed on his trusty steed, and not seldom carrying either cutlass, dirk, or horse-pistol to protect- himself from the highway¬ men who were prowling along the rpads, he dismounted at the principal inn of the town, well bespattered with mud or gray with dust, and called about him with that lordly air which the drivers of the mail-coach so carefully imitated some years later. His samples,, few in number, were only such as could be carried in his holsters, or as we should call them, saddlebags, and the goods ordered were sent forward, some weeks later, by vans. With the advent of the stage-coach and the post-chaise the habits of these commercial knight-errants changed. They were no longer to be seen in the saddle, but availing themselves of whichever of the modes of locomotion would carry them and their baggage, now grown cumbrous, to the towns and villages they wished to visit, most speedily and easily, they assumed a somewhat peculiar dress, and very soon a large room -at all the principal inns, known thenceforth as the " traveller's room," was set apart for these somewhat boisterous canvassers, where they bestowed their luggage, and on the counters of which they displayed ^ to the local dealers their samples and patterns. The num¬ ber of these travellers increased continually, and soon the manufacturers, the importers, the jobbers, and the repre¬ sentatives of foreign houses, had each their corps of travellers, who canvassed every town and village of the 22 THE COMMESCIAL TEAVELLEE'S United Kingdom, and by tbeir actiye distribution of sam¬ ples, and urgent solicitation of orders, equalized to a great extent tbe prices of goods between the large and small towns, bringing in so mucb trade as to keep tbe great bouses of London, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh constantly busy, while the laboring ' classes, finding really attractive goods so much cheaper than they formerly were, had their taste and ambition roused to own something in the way of finery, instead of the plain . and unattractive stuff, home-made goods, they Lad hitherto worn. By these means traffic was greatly increased and all parties benefited. The fluctuation in the prices of goods and raw materials, the occasional occurrence of gluts of particular classes of goods in the markets, the almost regularly periodical financial panics, have at times deranged the currents of trade and rendered the work of the British commercial traveller more arduous and less remunerative than usual, to the employing class; but the necessity of canvassing for orders, by some method of this kind, has led to the expansion of the business, tfil now the British commercial traveller not only scours every portion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but visits the colo¬ nies, seeks for orders in the cities of the continent, and is encountered in our larger cities displaying to our importers his new patterns and samples, and often carries back with him heavy orders, when his goods are desirable. Another class (though these are hardly in the ordinary sense com- GUIDE BOOK. . 23 ✓ mercial travellers, since thej do not travel) watch carefully the arrivals of the steamers, and immediately on the ar¬ rival of a buyer of any importing house from America or the continent show him every attention and courtesy; the object being, of course, to attract him to their principals as a purchaser. The French commercial'traveller goes about his busi¬ ness in a somewhat different way from his British brothers, yet in the end effects the same result with perhaps a little more certainty and expedition. The Frenchman, especially the French tradesman, has a natural aptitude for traffic, superior to that of the man of any other race. His suavity and politeness are important items in his qualifications in this regard, and his courteous and insinuating address al¬ most compel the merchant whose custom he seeks to give him an order. What the British commercial traveller accomplishes by a bluff heartiness, a free and easy swagger, and an amusing and constant misapplication of the much abused letter H, the French traveller attains by a deferen¬ tial air, a remarkable skill in calling attention to the good qualities of his goods, a ready and thoughtful politeness, and a careful tact in avoiding any points of disagreement with his patrons. The German traveller is very often of Israelitish birth, and if so, rivals his French compeer in his deferential manner, though he does not often attain to his courteous t politeness. If of pure German lineage, he has more of the English bluffness, but with it usually a somewhat 24 THE COMMEKCIAL TRAVELLER'S higher grade of general attainmentSj and of special science in regard to the goods for which he is obtaining orders. The British commercial travellers outnumber those oi the continent, it being estimated that the British merchants ' and manufacturers employ not less than sixty thousand, • while France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy together have not more than fifty thousand. In the United States, commercial travelling is a much more recent institution than in Europe, but in a very brief period it has attained a remarkable growth. It is interest¬ ing to trace its development in this country. Our manu¬ facturers, importers, jobbers and publishers, nearly all be¬ gan business in a small way, and for many years either the principal or some of the junior partners, if there were any, solicited orders frgm the hundred or two of customers they had made for their goods. The publishers, boot and shoe manufacturers, hardware manufacturers and hatters, held annual or semi-annual trade sales, in which the dealers were partially supplied with their goods by auction pur¬ chase, and at which they formed the acquaintance of the manufacturers and so could order directly from them. The publishers of costly books, and the clock manufacturers, were the first to feel the necessity of reaching a larger circle of customers than could be attracted by these means, and the first to reach them by means of travelling agents. That these agents sold at retail, or took orders for a single book or a clock to be delivered by and by, does not alter the fact that they were the first commercial travellers of this GriDE BOOK. 25 country. The dry-goods trade soon followed suit, and in¬ stead of taking orders, the travelling dealers carried their • goods with them and so became 'peddlers. Meantime the country was growing in population and wealth, and ad¬ vancing westward along the whole line of frontier at the rate of forty or fifty miles a year. Young and enterpris¬ ing dealers from the West and South would come to ]tTew York or Boston once a year to buy goods, but the journey was long and expensive, and they sold fewer goods than they would if they could have the market brought to their own door, and renew their stock oftener. The larger cities of the South and "West were indeed becoming centres of supply, for the towns within a radius of two hundred or three hundred miles around them, but this very soon in¬ volved, to a considerable extent, their transacting their own importing and manufacturing. Finding that their business was likely to drift away from them without special efforts on their part to retain it, some of the manufacturers and most of the jobbing-houses of New York, Boston and Philadelphia, in the dry goods, grocery and liquor, drugs, paints, jewelry, book, and some other trades, began to send out their canvassers to solicit orders from country dealers. At first these were either junior partners or some favorite clerks or salesman, who made this an occasional jaunt to - escape the confinement of the warehouse; but so excellent were the results of these partial canvasses, that ere long these houses came to employ men skilled in the business, and who had undergone a more 2 26 THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S or less thorougli training for it, as commercial travellers, through the greater part or the whole of the year. As it was obviously for the interest of the great houses of the * eastern cities to retain as large a proportion of the custom of the jobbing-houses of the "Western and Southern cities, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Memphis, IN'ew Orleans, Mobile, Charleston and Wilming¬ ton, an understanding was had with these houses that the Eastern jobbers should not canvass for customers in the West and South below a certain grade, leaving these to be supplied by the wholesale dealers in those cities. Still there is and will be some friction where the lines of demar- cation in trade are so constantly changing, and there is so much room for jealousy. The competition in most classes of goods is now so active, that the wholesale prices of goods in St. Louis, Chicago or Cincinnati are hot, if freight be included, materially higher than the same lines of goods in the great Atlantic cities. Ona result of this actiVe competition and the constant canvassing of the commercial travellers has been a remark¬ able reduction in the retail price of goods, greatly to the advantage of the community. Thirty years ago a yard of broadcloth or silk retailed in the villages of Central Kentucky,. Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, for full three times its price in the villages of Hew England or Kew York J to-day the price is very nearly the same in the two places. Increased facility of transportation has done something to bring about this result, but the commercial traveller, by gthde book. furnisliing goods to tlie village dealer in these comparatively remote districts at the same price at which the merchant fifty or one hundred miles from ITew York receives them, has equalized the position and profits of the two. The number of commercial travellers in the United States is not accurately known. It is vaguely estimated at 50,000, and very probably somewhat exceeds this number. Having thus briefly given the history of this compara¬ tively new profession, we owe it to our readers to define what, in the present acceptation of the term, a commercial traveller is. A commercial traveller is an agent or representative of a manufacturer, importer, or other wholesale dealer, who procures and transmits orders for the goods of his prin- cipal, in quantity, by personal solicitation and the exhi¬ bition of his samples. He is not a peddler, for he carries no goods, makes no direct sales, and does business only with dealers, never with their customers. He is not, even when travelling for a publishing house, in any sense a sub¬ scription agent or canvasser, for he only seeks the custom of booksellers and newsdealers, and takes no orders for books or goods at retail prices. The importance of these distinctions will be seen in subsequent chapters. OHAPTEE II "1 rAYIKG thus given the histoiy of commercial trav- —^ elling, and defined carefully the business of the commercial traveller, we next proceed to speak of the va¬ rious laws and ordinances by which his business has been embarrassed, and its prosecution delayed and sometimes prohibited. It would seem to an intelligent, disinterested observer, incredible that the legislators. State or municipal, of any section of the country, could be so. stupid, and so ignorant of the first principles of commerce, as to seek to prohibit, or tax heavily, an agent or commercial traveller from taking orders at wholesale for goods of which ^ he exhibits only the samples, for his business not only does no injury to any inhabitants of the city or State, but it con¬ fers positive and material benefits upon them. He benefits the jobber of goods, if there be any such in the commu¬ nity, for he is first visited by the " traveller," and if inclined to give an order for the new goods, he not only secures the most desirable goods for his customers at the lowest price, but he (or they, if there is more than one) secure the supplying of their own market with these goods; if he does not give an order, he still learns what are the styles and prices of goods with which he has to compete. He benefits GUIDE BOOK. 29 the retailer who gives him an order by furnishing him, at the lowest jobbing price, the newest and most desirable goods brought into the great markets, thus equalizing trade and diminishing the number of profits to be made on ^oods between the manufacturer and the retailer; he benefits him, too, by enabling him to replenish his stock often, in¬ stead of being compelled, once or twice a year, to make the long and expensive journey to tlie great cities to make his purchases. He benefits him also by increasing the aggre¬ gate amount of his sales, for nothing is truer than that the merchant who frequently replenishes his stock, and has desirable goods constantly upon his counters, will sell a much larger amount than the man who offers the same old goods from month to month, and almost from year to year. The commercial traveller also benefits materially, if indirectly, the retail purchaser of goods. This is especially the case in the Western and Southern towns, though the principle is the same everywhere. When, as was the case twenty or thirty years ago, the merchants from the county- seats and towns of moderate size in the South and West made the long and wearisome journey to New York, Phila¬ delphia or Baltimore, to buy goods but once a year (this was before there were any through railroad communications), they spent usually three or four weeks, at heavy expense, in the city where they made their purchases, and sent them home by canal, by steamboat, or by the heavy Conestoga w^agons, frequently transshipping, two or three times, and of course paying heavily for transportation, they made up for 80 THE CCMMEECIAL TEAVELLEE'S their outlay by charging very heavy profits on their goods. In 1815, at any of the diy goOds stores of central Ken¬ tucky (and this was as true of other southwestern States as of this) a pattern of broadcloth for a coat of a grade which retailed in KewYork city at not over five or six dollars a yard, could not be purchased there for less than eighteen or twenty dollars the yard, and other goods were held at about the same proportional rates. Kow, there is not more than ten per cent, difference between the retail price of goods in these towns, and the retail prices in Ciu- cinnati, Philadelphia, or Kew York. This is due partly to the increased facilities of transportation, but in a great measure to the labors of the commercial travellers, who have saved these buyers the long and expensive journeys for the purchase^ of goods, and have furnished them, or rather taken orders for them, often at lower prices than the buyer could have purchased them for in the great markets, if he had come here ignorant, as so many of them are, of the current prices of goods. The retailer does not, it is true, make as large profits on his sales as he did years ago, and this enures to the benefit of his customers; but he sells much more, is paid more promptly, and turns his stock oftener, thus requiring less capital for a successful business, and thus he is benefited. "Why then should a tax, or a prohibitory or oppressive license, be levied on those who are the benefactors rather . than the cormorants of the community? We have shown how all buyers and sellers of goods are benefited by their GUIDE BOOK 31 coming, but it is not these alone who reap advantages from it.« The railroads and steamboats which transport the goods for which they have transmitted the orders, the wagoners m and truckmen who deliver them, the express companies through whose lines a large proportion are brought, the owners of real estate whose property is increased in value by the increase of business, the builders who find that the new goods require new houses to correspond with them, the hotel keepers to whom the commercial traveller is so fi:equent and profitable a guest, and indeed every class in the community ds, directly or indirectly, advantaged by their coming. "Why, we repeat, should an onerous and vexatious tax, in the shape of license, be put upon them ? Who asks for such a tax ? It is not the wholesale dealer, for as we have shown, it is to his interest to have him come; it is not the retailer, for he would be put to serious inconvenience by his absence. It is not the retailer's customer, if he is intelligent, because, in the first place, it is none of his business, and, in the second place, he himself is naturally benefited, and in no possible way, directly or indirectly, injured by the frequent visits of these men. The express and railroad companies are too keenly alive to their own interests to lift a finger against them, and the hotel proprie¬ tors and the mechanic classes know too well the advan¬ tages they derive from their presence to be at all disposed to annoy them. / There might be plausible though hardly sound reasons 32 THE COMMEECIAL TKAVELLEE'S assigned for taxing peddlers, hawkers, street venders, and subscription book agents, for these, it is often asserted,'do draw some trade from established houses in their several branches of trade, and where the stationary merchant or vendor has to pay a tax or license for the privilege of carrying on his business, it might be argued, with some propriety, that the peripatetic vendor should be brought under the same restriction. We believe the argument fallacious, for experience and observation have both sat¬ isfied us that these travelling vendors of goods, books, and what not, only stimulate the minds of their purchasers to obtain other goods which they have not. An enter¬ prising bookseller in a small "Western city, once told the writer that he welcomed most cordially every subscription- book agent who came to his town; for they so quickened and stirred up the people to read, that for months after¬ ward they would purchase twice as many books as they did before. But even if we allowed that there were plausible % reasons for taxing in some way these classes, it would form no justification for requiring a license or other tax from commercial travellers, for they have nothing in common with these classes. They sell no goods, they never take orders at retail prices, or from retail customers, they do not in any way interfere or compete with any resident dealers in goods of any sort. iNo justification of their taxation can be found, then, in the alleged propriety of taxing retail vendors. Another argument, if argument it can be called, GUIDE BOOK. 33 which is sometimes adduced in justification of this tax, is this : Our wholesale and retail merchants are all required to pay a tax or procure a license for their business, the amount of which goes into the State (or city) treasury,— why should these foreign salesmen have privileges for their traffic which we,do not grant to our own people ? One of your citizens, we reply, brings to your merchants their letters and papers, and another takes the letters and papers they have to send to the post-office. Do .you tax them for - performing their duties ? The commercial traveller is not a salesman; he receives and transmits to his principals the orders obtained on an examination of his samples; it rests with those principals to decide whether they will fill the orders he sends. Who is benefited by the transaction pecun¬ iarily ? !^rot the commercial traveller, for his salary is the same whether he takes more or less orders in any particular town or city; the only direct benefits which accrue are the prospective ones to the dealer who gives the order, and those to the importer, jobber, or manufacturer in a distant State, who will, if he thinks best, forward the goods. The mer¬ chant, on your theory, is already taxed, and consequently is not liable to further taxation ; the merchant or manufacturer * in the distant city has doubtless his full share of taxes at home, and at all events is not amenable to your laws, to say nothing of that principle of equal rights of the citizens of one State with those of another, which is one of the express stipulations of the Constitution of the United States. Take a case like the following, which is one of the 34: THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S strongest, and perhaps the strongest, the advocates of re¬ strictive laws upon commercial travellers can bring forward, and even by their own showing, how weak is their case. Among the manufactories of St. Lonis, iron foundries occupy a large and influential position. The proprietor of one of these, A. B., manufactures certain articles of hollow ware, which are very popular both there and elsewhere. For extending their sale he employs some commercial travellers, who visit the hardware trade in other sections of the country with photographic cards and engravings of these articles, and solicit orders for them. But a somewhat similar style of goods, competing with these, is made by a founder in Troy, N. Y., and this founder also sends out commercial travellers, one of whom, C. D., comes to St. Louis, and, calling upon the hardware houses there, solicits orders for his employer's patterns. Some give him orders, others prefer the goods manufactured at St. Louis. But A. B. learns of his presence, and that he has not taken out a. license, costing three hundred dollars, for the privilege of exhibiting his engravings of goods to these hardware dealers, and forthwith causes his arrest, and bringing him before the Becorder demands his conviction and the extreme penalty of the law, a fine of five hundred dollars (one-fourth of which goes to the informer) for his infrac¬ tions of the license law. The accused party may well demand, " Whom have I wronged by my soliciting of orders, and what justice or equity is there in my being subjected to this severe penalty ? GUIDE BOOK. 35 I have not wronged this maimfacturer, for there is no pretence of any invasion of patents, as our patent dates before his, and no monopoly of the sale of patented articles is allowed by the constitution. I have not disparaged his goods, nor sought to thrust them out to supply mine; I have only offered prints of the goods which my principals manufacture, and solicited orders for them from those who preferred them to his. I have done no wrong to the city, to its wholesale dealers, or its retailers, or any of its citi¬ zens ; I have simply exercised my right, as a citizen of the State of ISTew York, to be "entitled to all the privileges and immunities of" citizens in the several States" (Art. lY., section 2), and if A. B. has a right to send commercial travellers into Kew York or other States to solicit orders for his goods, I ask why he should prosecute me for doing the same thing which he employs other men to do ? Such a defence might not avail against the city ordinance of St. Louis, but the equity of the whole thing would be so evident that the Becorder himself, there as in Cincinnati, would be likely to join in a petition for the abrogation of the ordinance. So rapidly is the conviction of the injustice of this invid¬ ious legislation gaining ground, that we find it quite impossible to state the number of cities and States which still retain this relic of barbarism on their statute books. At one time. Providence, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Balti¬ more, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Nashville, and the States of Maryland, Ehode Island, Iowa, 36 THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S and several others, had restrictive lavrs of greater or less severity. Under some of them the unfortunate commercial traveller was liable to imprisonment, and often was actually imprisoned, if he did not forthwith pay the exorbitant penal¬ ties imposed upon him. Within a little more than two years, an unfortunate commercial traveller, Henry Dreshler by name, was imprisoned for some Hionths in the city jail oi Baltimore for selling goods by sample without license. He had his case brought before the Supreme Court of Balti¬ more on a writ of habeas corpus, and asked to be discharged on the plea that he was not liable, under the Constitution of the United States (citing several clauses), to the tax in question. Chief Justice. Scott decided that the State law was not in violation of the Constitution, and poor Dreshler was accordingly remanded to jail. Since that time, Chicago, Cincinnati (where two or three cases of imprisonment and fine had occurred), Detroit, and two or three more of the cities named above, have been shamed into the repeal of these unjust ordinances, St. Louis has modified hers, and in most of the other States and cities, though remaining on the statute book, they are practically a dead letter, so repugnant are they to the feel¬ ings} of the people, and so bitter is the public sentiment against informers. "When a statute is obnoxious to the general sentiment of a people w'e may, in this country,* con¬ fidently look for its speedy abrogation. The following are specimens of these laws still in exist¬ ence, but soon, we doubt not, to be repealed : guide book. 37 LAW OF MARYLAND. Act of 1868^ Chapter J^IS. "Sec. 37.

On the 4th of June, 1869, an ordinance (6875) was passed to amend this section 13 of Article XIII., as follows: " An ordinance to amend section thirteen of article thirteen of ordinance number five thousand four hundred and fifty-three, entitled 'An ordinance regulating the levying and collection of the revenue of the city of St. Louis.' " Be it ordained by the city council of the city of St. Louis: gtjide book. 41 " Sec. 1. Tlie tliirteentli section of tlie above recited ordi¬ nance is amended bj tbe addition of the following proviso: Provided, however, that persons wishing a license, as con¬ templated in said section thirteen, for a shorter time than one year, may have snch license for the term of ten days, by paying into the city treasury ten dollars, and upon the payment of the usual fees for issuing such license." Approved June 4, 1869. In this amendment we rejoice to see evidence that a feeling of shame for their illiberality had t^ien possession of the minds of the city fathers at St. Louis, and we hail it as an evidence that at no distant time both the ordinance ' and the amendment will be swept from the statute books of the city. This is one of the few matters of civil polity which is much better managed in Europe than here. There, from long experience and thorough conviction of his value to the national trade and commerce, the commercial traveller is heartily encouraged and allowed to prosecute his calling without let or hindrance. The language of the authorities, both State and municipal, to him, is in effect: Go where you choose, enter freely our exchanges and our commercial marts, our counting-rooms, and the stores of any of our merchants. * Show them your samples; explain the advantages of your goods or manufactures over others of the same description. If you effect sales, well and good. The merchandise so sold comes into our terri¬ tory, pays the usual duties and charges, by which the State 42 THE C0M3kIEEClAL TEAVELLEE'S profits to that extent. The custom-house is richer for it, and our transportation system gains by your operations. Sell freely; come agmn, and come often." It is.,humiliating to have to acknowledge that in this particular, European cities and States are far in advance of us in liberality and intelligent action. Let us now proceed to sum up the advantages to the community and to commercial enterprise, of the employ¬ ment of commercial travellers. We have noficed already its infiuence in the equaliza¬ tion of prices, and in the rapid diffusion of the best and most desirable patterns and styles of goods throughout all portions of the country. "We may add that it is a means of education not to be despised. The latest facts in science, the latest results of technological art, the latest publications in diterature, art and physics, and mathematics, the most recent inventions and discoveries, are all diffused over the continent with almost the rapidity of lightning by the commercial travellers. In the constant communication between the commercial traveller and his principal, even though he may be absent from the house which employs him for a year or more, every new pattern, every modifica¬ tion of style, price or pattern, is instantly communicated to him, and through him to the customers of the house, and by them to their customers. The commercial traveller greatly increases the aggre¬ gate business of the country. A region of country thoroughly traversed by these indefatigable canvassers will guide booe:. 43 buy and pay for more than twice the quantity of goods, in proportion to its population, that will be sold to a similar region where there are no travellers. This increased activity of trade enures not only to the benefit of the merchants who send out the travellers, but quite as much f to the railroad and express lines which transport the goods, to the hotel-keepers, whom this activity of trade largely helps to maintain, and to the community in general, who ' feel the advantages of it in every department of business. The first tendency of trade is to monopoly and high prices, but the active competition induced by the system of commercial travelling, gives the death-blow to both, and while benefiting the community, leads the trader, by the safer route, to wealth—^large and quick sales with small profits. Commercial travelling promotes the fine and useful arts. The certainty that a tasteful design, a graceful pattern, a new and valuable invention, a choice and brilliant color, will be diffused throughout the whole country in a few weeks, is the most powerful incentive to exertion to the artist, the designer, the chemist or the inventor, which could possibly be offered him. If he is successful, a speedy fame, and in a few years a fortune, await him. If he fails the first time, he may hope to succeed the next, and he has not. to wait till all the world can come to ITew York or Boston and see his invention, discovery or design^ for the swift commercial travellers will bear it to all sections of the country in the briefest possible time. 44: THE COMMEECIAL TEAVELLEE. ft But the system insures, also, a reciprocation of benefits. The faiTner boy on the prairies, the lumberman in the forests, or the miner in the Bocky Mountains may, and often does, possess as delicate an aesthetic taste, and may be able to suggest as important improvements in the form, patterns, or styles of goods, as the more practised artist in the city, for they commune oftener than he with nature, the great source of inspiration in art; and the leaf of.a tree, the form or coloring of a flower, the crystallization of a mineral, may suggest to them conceptions of beauty which the skilled artist has dreamed of, but failed to repro- duce on paper. At all events, we know that many of our most beautiful designs are thus produced and transmitted to the manufacturer through the commercial traveller. « OHAPTEE III. E proceed to consider what manner of men com¬ mercial travellers are, and ought to he, in their character" and qualifications for their special calling. It may he well to give the portraiture of the English com¬ mercial traveller, as drawn hy a disinterested hut compe¬ tent hand, in 1839: " Almost every commercial house in the United King¬ dom, of any note, employs one or more agents, whose bus¬ iness it is to travel ahput the country and procure custom for the principals. The commercial traveller—as the agent is denominated—is generally a young and very shrewd indi¬ vidual, possessing great suavity of manner and a remark¬ able ability to suit himself to all the varied moods of his very various customers. Furnished hy his principals with choice samples of their goods, he steps into his chaise or the stage, and with a light heart commences his circuit. It is not considered unusual if nearly a year elapses before he returns to his employer. At each town upon his route he tarries at the principal inn, where he is sure to find a hearty welcome. After thus ensconcing himself within comfort¬ able quarters, he arranges his samples, and if it he forenoon, 4 46 THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S puts them under liis arm and issues forth to visit the shop¬ keepers of the place. Wherever he goes he is met with cordiality. To the tradesman he lauds his samples with ^1 the eloquence and ingenuity of which he is capable^ and seldom leaves them without making considerable bargains in behalf of his principals. " He then collects moneys due on former purchases, and if in convenient shape, forwards the funds, together with his customer's order, by mail, to his employers. "Hearly the whole of the country trade is managed by the commercial travellers. Each has his list of customers who recognize his house only in him. Of them his princi¬ pals are comparatively ignorant. To the discretion of the agent it is left to determine who shall h^-ve credit, and to what amount that credit shall extend. '^By personal acquaintance with purchasers, the com¬ mercial traveller is enabled to db a safer business for his employers than they could possibly do by correspondence."* The more than thirty years which have passed since this description was written, have brought changes in this vocation in England, but mainly in the very great increase of the number of commercial travellers, of whom there are now over 35,000 in England alone, and in the greatly increased facilities for trade afforded by the railways which now traverse every part of England. Our commercial travellers in general have had very little of the stage-coach and post-chaise experience, for the insti¬ tution has only come into being since the days of railroads GUIDE BOOK. 47 and expresses, and it is only in the smaller and remote towns that they have had occasion to try the stage-coach, the mail-wagon, or the hired carriage. Eeginning, as it did in this country, with brief and flying excursions of the partners in the large jobbing, manufac¬ turing, and importing houses of our great cities to the large towns of other sections, and when these proved insufficient, sending out confldential clerks and the best salesmen, at flrst for two or three months only, commercial travelling has grown up in this country to be a business of great magnitude and responsibility. "With all respectable houses great caution and care is exercised in the selection of their travellers. They must be men of integrity, who will represent the house honestly and fairly; men of good address and gentlemanly manners, for none others would succeed in obtaining orders; men who are thoroughly familiar with the goods for which they » solicit orders, their mode of manufacture, their cost, their popularity in the market, and the styles or goods which compete with them. They must possess, also, tact in commending their goods, a thorough knowl¬ edge of human nature, and that general culture which enables a man, upon occasion, to talk something besides " shop." The temptations of this mode of life are considerable- temptations to intemperance and to a fast life generallyj temptations to a swaggering, boastful manner, indicated often by the slang phrase, " He is a Slower—a manner 48 THE COMMEECIAL TEAVELLER'S more conspicHOHS in tlie English or foreign traveller than in onr own countrymen; temptations not to scrutinize too closely the credit and standing of those to whom they sell, in order to make their aggregate of sales larger; temptations to misrepresentation on one or both sides; and where they are collectors as well as solicitors of orders, temptations to embezzlement. Yet with all these temptations to strive against, and pursuing a course of life where necessary irregularities of the physical life tend to promote some of the baser vices of our civilization, it is a matter of very general observation that there is no class of men, in the full L. prime and vigor of manhood, whose conduct, as a whole, is more correct and free from serious objection. They are materially above their fellows in education and gene¬ ral intelligence, and the educated gentlernan who is travel- * ling for his own pleasure, is exceptionally fortunate if he finds any more agreeable companion in his journeyings than one of the best class of commercial travellers. Constant and extensive travel has given them a familiarity with the routes over which they pass, with the scenery, inhabitants, and local history, which often makes them very pleasant and entertaining guides ; and where, as is often the case, they have ambition and eagerness for the acquisition of general knowledge sufficient to cause them " to sink the shop," they are usually so well informed as to make their conver¬ sation even more agreeable than that of most professional men. This general knowledge is not, by any means, a disad- GUIDE BOOK. - 4:9 \ vantage in their business; it gives them a greater influence with their customers, and places them on a real as well as a seeming equality with them. A merchant of refinement and culture in the country—and there are many such—will . he more ready to give his orders for goods to a man who, in all his manner and hearing, is his equal in courteous manners and general intelligence—one whom he could invite freely to his own home—than to a rough, swearing, swag¬ gering braggart, who has no knowledge of anything except the goods for which he is soliciting orders, and not a very competent one even of them. In these days.of unrivalled opportunities for the acquisition of knowledge, it is the duty, as well as the privilege of every man to become as well informed on all subjects of general interest as he can. We have known of many instances where this thorough self-culture has raised a man from a humble clerkship through all the gradations of salesman, traveller, confiden¬ tial clerk, and junior partner, till he has finally become the head of a great house, which he had previously served in the humblest capacity. Such was substantially the life- history of the late George Peabody. Beginning with menial services in a country store, with a thirst for knowl¬ edge which nothing could abate, he had before reaching his majority attained so thorough a mastery of the principles of business and such aptitude as a salesman, as to be offered a partnership in a wholesale house in Georgetown and Bal¬ timore ; and amid the cares and responsibilities of his business he still persisted in acquiring knowledge till, as a 3 50 THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S negotiator of the obligations of the State, as a banker, as an accomplished gentleman, the peer and associate of English statesmen and nobles, and above all, as a large- hearted and munificent philanthropist, he stood on the very pinnacle of earthly fame, the grandest name among the merchant princes of the nineteenth century. It. is not the privilege of every .man, or of many men, to be so prominent in goodness and greatness as George Peabody was, but all may aim for what is worthiest and best in such a life, and come as near it as possible. W e desire then to impress upon merchants or manufac¬ turers who are employing commercial travellers, to insist especially on these four points as essential to success, and indispensable in those whom they employ: 1. An unblem¬ ished reputation for integrity and correct morals; a pleasing and winning address and gentlemanly manners; a thorough and exhaustive knowledge of the goods they are to solicit orders for,—their history, mode and place of manufacture, and all the elements which affect their production and cost; and finally, a wide and general culture, not only in business matters but on topics of state, national, foreign, literary, and scientific topics, such as will make them agreeable and intelligent companions, welcome in all circles of society. A single illustration will show the advantages of this gen¬ eral education to the employers, even in a pecuniary way. About thirty years ago two large publishing houses em¬ ployed agents in considerable numbers in introducing and obtaining orders for their school-books. The school-books GUIDE BOOK. ^ 51 t were of about equal merit, and it depended largely upon tbe skill of the agents as to which house should make the largest sales, and the rivalry between them was keen. In one section, each house had an agent in whom they reposed special confidence, and it was expected tliat each would at¬ tempt to outdo the other. One of these agents was a man of middle age, of large experience in his business and of pleas¬ ing and gentlemanly address, but his early education had been defective, and he had no wide range of general knowl¬ edge, and only a superficial acquaintance with the merits of his own books, and the demerits of those published by other houses. The other was a much younger man, but well edu- t cated and remarkable for his extensive general culture, as well as his special knowledge of the books he sought to in¬ troduce, and of all that competed with them. Entering the field about the same time, the younger agent soon ^became satisfied that success was only to be won by extraordinary measures. He accordingly worked diligently at the prep¬ aration of a lecture on public-school education, which he proposed to deliver, free of charge, throughout the region, sending his appointments ahead for some days or weeks. In this lecture, which drew crowded houses, he carefully avoided making any allusions to his own or his rival's books, but described the best methods of prosecuting public- school studies in such a way as inevitably to draw out the question after the conclusion of his lecture, "What are the best books for the prosecution of these studies by the methods you have described The committees and school- 62 4 THE COiLMFIKCIAL TRAVELLEB'S boards thus won over to the approval of bis books, be carried almost every town, and bis rival soon abandoned tbe section in disgnst, protesting against tbis new way of lecturing books into tbe schools. In tbis instance, certainly, tbe tborougb general culture was tbe principal cause of success. In otber departments of trade, it will be found tbat tbe general culture will, if coupled witb good business abilities, enable a traveller to succeed better tban one of equal business talent but less education. Self-possession and a becoming but not overweening confidence in bis own abilities, is another necessary requisite for a commercial traveller. We do not mean by tbis what in vulgar parlance is called " brass," for tbis is oftener found in those who are incompetent tban in those who are qualified for tbe position. But tbe man who lacks confidence in himself, in bis goods, or bis ability to sell them, will be sure to fail, whatever may be bis knowledge of tbat business or bis general education. We have known men of excellent education and high character to break down just because they bad not sufficient confi¬ dence to withstand a slight rebuff, and to leave a place discouraged because tbe first merchant they met told them tbat be did not want any of their goods. Tbis trait is not, however, so often met iti these days, as tbe otber extreme of excessive confidence and self-esteem. Persistency and perseverance are qualities of tbe first im¬ portance in a commercial traveller. Tbe tendency among our young business men is to too great fickleness in regard GTJTDE BOOK. 53 to business engagements. They weary of a business very soon, if everything is not smooth as a summer sea. In this business, as in almost all others, they will meet with rebuffs and discouragements. Trade will be dull, the customers who gave large orders a year before will be over¬ stocked, or find no demand for what they sold so readily ■last year ; money is tight, perhaps, and finding it hard to Biake their payments they are not disposed to incur new liabilities; some of the goods received last year were defective, or came too late for the demand"; the changes in communication, the higher cost of freight, the liberal offers of houses in a nearer city; these, and a thousand more excuses, will be offered for not giving an order by those who are really indifferent about purchasing, or who hope by seeming indifference to elicit better tenns. The commercial traveller who does not understand how « r to parry these objections courteously, yet skilfully, and bring his customer into a mood for giving a liberal order, in spite of them, is not up to his business, and should either leave it, or better, exert himself to become more perfect in the art of persuading men against their will. With what suavity and gentleness of manner, yet with what untiring persistency, does the skilful salesman remove these objec¬ tions one after another, and show his customer that it is necessary that he should have the new goods, even if the old are on hand, in order that the one may help the sale of the other; that if money is tight and trade dull, there is the greater necessity for activity and enterprise, the display of 64 THE COMMEECIAL TEAYELLEE. new and attractive goods to attract the purchasers who still have money to spend, and the advisahleness of having a finer and better assortment than others, to draw trade to his store; that though freights may be high, yet the cost of «|[ — transportation is really but a small item in the selling price of most goods; and that, though jobbers in nearer and rival cities may attempt to call in trade by offering low prices at first, their facilities for procuring goods are not such as to enable them to maintain a competition with his principals. All these explanations and arguments are urged so quietly and deferentially as not to excite opposi¬ tion or retort, and, in the end, the traveller wins and sends home a liberal order. It is hardly necessary to say anything to employers on the subject of the compensation of commercial travellers. As a class they are generally well paid, whether their com¬ pensation is graduated on the amount of their orders, or is in the nature of a fixed salary. A skilful and accomplished traveller is cheap at any price, and is sure to find employers even though he demand a large salary; while a fickle, half trained, half educated man, boastful but without tact, and possessing neither the persistency nor the address which would enable him to win customers, would be dear even at board wages. CHAPTEE IV. 'YTT'E propose to devote tliis cliapter to suggestions^ not ' ' merely to commercial travellers, but to railroad companies, express companies, hotel proprietors, and all parties concerned in connection wi^h commercial travelling. And first, we beg leave to suggest to the railroad com¬ panies, especially 6f the great through lines in all directions, not that they should give free passes to commercial travel¬ lers, as Senator Creamer proposes that they shall do to the legislators, l)ut that in consideration of the immense quan¬ tities of freight sent over their roads through the efforts of commercial travellers and the constant and rapid increase in this traffic, they should, under proper regulations and restrictions, furnish to them, or their employers for them, season tickets or excursion tickets at a reduced price, and should allow them, on evidence of their business, to carry baggage not exceeding two hundred pounds, such baggage being sworn to as containing, beyond their necessary cloth¬ ing, only the samples necessary for their business. It is safe to say that every pound of the traveller's baggage beyond the ordinary allowance is sure of inducing orders for a thousand pounds of freight to the railroad over which the 56 THE COilMEECIAL TEATELLEE'S baggage is carried, and while we are not disposed to make any exorbitant requests, we respectfully suggest that, under¬ standing this, the railroad companies cannot do a better thing for their own business than to deal liberally with the commercial travellers in the matter of fares and baggage. We would suggest to the merchants and manufacturers employing commercial travellers, that it is for their interest (since these expenses come out of them), by concerted or associated action, to appeal to the railroad companies to issue travellers' season or excursion tickets and grant a more liberal allowance of baggage, and that it will be much easier for them to make these arrangements than for the individual travellers to do so. The express companies should, and generally do maintain the most cordial relations with the commercial travellers. They were contemporaneous, or nearly so, in their origin, and their growth and development has been almost simultaneous. Much of the freight, especially of the smaller orders sent for¬ ward by the travellers, is transported by them; and by both parties acting constantly on the, principle of reciprocity, seeking each other's benefit, both may receive and impart much good. In particular, we would suggest that where a house has occasion to transmit additional samples to their travellers, that being branded "Commercial Traveller's Additional Samples," they should, up to a given weight, say thirty or fifty pounds, be transmitted free, it being under¬ stood that all light orders should be sent by express. To hotel proprietors we have also a word or two of sug- GUIDE BOOK. gestion. We have, at very great labor and cost, procured a list of the best hotels, for commercial travellers in all parts of the country, so far as we could ascertain them, and have generally given their price of board per day. Having thus demonstrated our good-will towards them, will they accept our suggestion that they should provide for the rooms occupied by the travellers a temporary table, formed of boards laid on carpenters' horses and properly covered, on which they may be able to display their samples to their customers ? This is preferable to ordinary small tables and to the counters and bins of the public travellers' room in the English hotels and inns. We do not ask them to reduce their prices to the com¬ mercial travellers, though in consideration of the large amount of profitable custom brought to them by our friends, we do not know as we should be doing wrong in suggesting this also. But if they will give them good rooms and attendance, and fit them up, as they can do at small expense, in the way we have suggested, and not make their bills too heavy, we shall be inclined to accord them the praise of having performed their part well. To the commercial traveller himself, as we are writing specially for his benefit, we have somewhat more to say. It may be well enough to begin, as the wit and poet Oliver Wendell Holmes does in his "Ehyrned Lesson," with the matter of dress. Some years ago, the commercial travellers in England very generally adopted a flashy and what the fast men here would call a loud style of dress, 58 THE COMMEECIAL TEAVELLEK'S gay waistcoats and neckercliiefs,- the wide plaid for business sack and pantaloons (so wide that it required two suits to fill out the> pattern), gaiters, plenty of cheap jewelry, and generally a fancy dress. As a considerable portion of our commercial travellers are of English birth, the style took here, and a commercial traveller was to be recognized by his dress almost anywhere. This fashion was unfortunate. There are but two classes in our community who have a pre-emptive right to this style of dress, and it should be confined to them; they are the gambling fraternity and the shoddy aristocracy. The commercial traveller is sup¬ posed to be, and of course to appear what he really is, a gentleman^ and in his dress as well as address he should have the garb and bearing of the business man. We do not advise a clerical suit of black, for that would be equally inappropriate; but the best rule in regard to dress for men, as for women, is to adopt such colors and styles that no one with whom the traveller is brought in contact may be able to remember what they had on. Especially should any excessive display of jewelry be avoided. It is never consistent with good taste. If it is genuine, diamonds and other precious stones, and heavy gold chains are inappro- « priate to his position and income, and subject him to suspicion; if the pretended diamonds and gems are paste, or glass, and the gold chains of the cheap sort, they put the traveller at once in the class of gamblers, counterfeiters, and flash characters. A word or two, now, in regard to manners and address, GUIDE BOOK. 69 We have said that the commercial traveller in this country is supposed to he a gentleman. Most of those whom it lias been our pleasure to know are feallj such, and there is nothing but the will needed to reform the remainder, and make them all that that expressive but much abused word gentleman signifies. But to this end, these things must be remembered: a true gentleman is always courteous, always thoughtful of the interests and comfort of others, always truthful, always mindful of the feelings and preferences of others, and specially careful to protect and defend the weak or helpless from the aggressions of the selfish, haughty or grasping. The true gentleman never brags, never swag¬ gers, never uses profane or obscene language; is not addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors or vicious prac¬ tices ; he commands his temper, and is never, whatever the provocation, betrayed into the use of rude, gross, or violent language. True gentlemanliness' is consistent with the highest business ability and success. The most successful commer¬ cial traveller we have ever known was (he is now dead) not only one of the most perfect gentlemen in his manners and address we have ever m*et, but one whose character for honesty, integrity and manliness were so manifest that he' was a welcome guest wherever he went. So high was his reputation for fair dealing that, even in times of commer¬ cial stagnation, when there seemed to be little or no busi¬ ness doing, his orders to the house for which he acted, and . of which he finally became a partner, amounted to hun- 60 THE COMilEECIAL TKAVELLEE'S dreds of thoHsands of dollars. It was more difficult to 4k » refuse Mm an order than anj other man we have ever met; and this not from his urgency, for he never insisted on selling, hut from the dignity and courtesy of his manner, which rendered it almost impossible to decline what seemed a personal favor offered to the buyer. The work of the commercial traveller is not always ^ pleasant; he meets in his dealings with men of all sorts ; and sometimes his patience and endurance are greatly tried ; customers are sometimes rude, sometimes bad- tempered, occasionally impertinent, profane and insult¬ ing ,• and where the traveller has naturally a hot and hasty temper, the temptations to give way to it are occa¬ sionally very strong, but he must cultivate self-control and he will find that it will give him great advantages in his business, as well as give him- a feeling of self-respect, which he will inevitably lose by an ebullition of passion. So varied are the interests represented by commercial travellers, and so different the classes to be reached, that no general directions can be given as to the methods to be pursued in securing orders from customers; and fortunately they are not needed, for every intelligent and capable traveller will succeed best by adopting the plans which are most in accordance with his own tastes and predi¬ lections. It may not be amiss to remind our friends, however, of two or three points important to be kept in remembrance. And, first, it is of great importance that they should make GUIDE BOOK. 61 tliemselves tborouglily and mimitelj familiar with the articles or goods for which they are to solicit orders. They should know, if they are patterns of dry goods, where and by whom they are manufactured, by what process, and as nearly as possible at what cost. If they are colored goods, what is the character of the color, whether fast or tran¬ sient, whether mineral or vegetable, whether poisonous or innocuous, whether capable of being dyed again or not. If the goods for which they are taking orders are articles of manufacture, machines, hardware, or anything of the sort, they should make themselves perfectly familiar with their principles of construction and all their mechanism— should be able to put them together or take them apart with perfect facility, and also to assign a reason for each peculiarity in their construction, and the advantages which these pecuharities give them over all other competing articles; and the traveller with this class of goods will find a general knowledge of mechanical principles of great advantage to him. A mere lesson learned by heart, and repeated parrot-like to every customer, unaccompanied by any thorough general knowledge of the subject, soon disgusts customers, and if the traveller possesses any common sense, disgusts him as quickly. If the traveller is soliciting orders for school-books or miscellaneous works, he needs a very thorough and exten¬ sive training for his work. He will not, under the existing trade arrangements, be required to introduce the books into schools, or to obtain the sanction of school-boards 62 THE COitMEEClAL TEAVELLEE'S for them, but not the less is it requisite that he should know what competing hooks there are in the market, and what are their comparative merits. Often will his knowl¬ edge on these points he appealed to, and his ability to answer intelligently, and to give the reasons for consider¬ ing his hooks better than others, will influence the decision in their favor of the principal of a large school, or the opinion of the leading member of a Board of School Com¬ missioners. So, too, in regard to miscellaneous hooks; an intelligent traveller who knows that whereof he afSrms, and who can, from his thorough familiarity with a new hook, conscientiously commend it as possessing extraordinary merits, will obtain orders for hundreds of copies, where an illiterate solicitor would not find a market for a 'dozen. The commercial traveller who fully comprehends his work and duties will seek, by all honorable means, to advance the interests of his employers. For this purpose he should cultivate, as far as possible, the most friendly relations between them and the trade whose custom he solicits, and while he should never seek by any dishonor¬ able measures to secure their trade, he is not at liberty, for his employer's interests, to neglect those little acts of courtesy and good-will which often go far in drawing them as permanent customers to the house whom he represents. It is sometimes the case that a commercial traveller who, by energy, tact and skill, has gained the confidence of a large circle of customers, on a sudden disagreement with his employers, leaves them and engages immediately GUIDE BOOK. 63 witli a rival Louse in the same business. Should he, under the circumstances, carry over his customers, as far as possi¬ ble, by personal effort, to the rival house ? The question is not without its difficulties, and very serious ones. It may be urged on the part of his former employers that these customers were secured by him when in their employ, and in time paid for by them, and that his only possible claim on them accrues from his having obtained their orders for goods sent to them, to their satisfaction, by the house which he has now left, and that honor, right and justice demand that customers obtained by them at" such cost should not be taken from them except for good and satis¬ factory reasons, which do not exist in this case. On the " other hand, the commercial traveller argues that his acquaintance and influence with the trade is his capital, fairly earned by active and earnest labor; that he is not under obligation, after leaving the service of his former employer, to secure to him the continuance of the custom he has obtained for him, but is perfectly at liberty to carry this acquaintance, as his capital, to the market where he can obtain the best price for it. This argument would have more weight in case the traveller were setting up in business for himself, than in justifying him in carrying the trade to a house already established and recognized as rivals of his former employer; but we are inclined to the opinion that the law of love requires that he should not thus transfer his customers, and that if he go into the employ of a rival house, he should operate in a new field. 64: .THE COMMEECIAL TEATELLEE'S With, a few words in regard to outfit, etc., we dismiss this part'of our subject. The commercial traveller is exposed to great vicissitudes of heat and cold in our changeable climate, especially in the long journeys he has often occasion to undertake. To provide against injury from these, he should at all seasons wear fianhel, the best knit goods, or perforated buckskin underclothing, and his dress should be light, easy-fitting, all wool goods, either in winter or summer. A soft hat or cap is better for long journeys than a stiff one—the best British cotton half-hose are preferable to woollen socks— soft, but stout, easy shoes are better than boots—^mufflers or .neck-wrappings of any sort should be discarded, and a turn- . down collar is more comfortable than any other. For winter wear, a sack overcoat, or, better, a cloak and overcoat com¬ bined, after the style of the army officer's cloak, is the most desirable of outside wrappers; and in winter or summer, the traveller should always have his shawl with him. He will need a good trunk; if his samples are numerous or bulky, probably more than one. The manufacture of a trunk for the use of commercial travellers, combining durability, elegance and convenience, is a specialty of the trunk-maker's trade, and while in other large cities there are doubtless manufacturers whose work is as satisfactory, our own experience and observation compel us to say that we have found no trunk-makers who made an article so thoroughly and uniformly satisfactory for this purpose as Crouch & Fitzgerald, of Hew York. GTHDE EOOE:. 65 He must liaTe a good watch, one which will be an accurate and serviceable time-keeper; it is not necessary that it should be very costly, but it should be reliable as a time-keeper, for he must always come to time." As an American citizen he should patronize American manufac¬ turers whenever he can, and, fortunately, here he subserves his own interests by doing so. The watches manufactured at Elgin, 111., Waltham, Mass.,. and Springfield, Mass., are unsurpassed as time-keepers. The Hational "Watch Com- ^ pany, of Elgin and Chicago, and the Hew York,Watch Company, of Springfield and Hew York, furnish admirable time-pieces at a very low price. Of course there should be the necessary memorandum and order books, but these are provided by the stationers, adapted to the different kinds of business for which they are needed, so that there is no need of any suggestions in regard to them. • We would suggest, however, that it would save many errors and misunderstandings if all letters written by commercial travellers and containing orders were either written on manifold paper, or copied before being mailed by the ingenious little portable roller copying-press now so common in the market. The risks of travel are so great that no commercial trav¬ eller, especially if he has a family dependent upon him, is justified in starting upon a tour without having taken out both an accident and a life-insurance policy; and if the former is taken out by ticket, he should be sure that it is properly registered. 66 THE COMMEKCIAL TEAVELLEE. The time will come (it ought to come soon) when commer¬ cial travellers shall have a life-insurance company of their own, and get their policies at less than the average rates; for, notwithstanding the perils of travel, they are so gen¬ erally yonng, vigorous and healthy men, that they are much better risks than the average. This policy of class life- insurance is coming largely into practice in Great Britain, and the commercial travellers there, though less numerous than in the United States, have an admirably managed life- assurance association of their own. Until this can be ac¬ complished, however, they should take out policies in some of our most substantial life-insurance companies. There is a wide range from which to select, and but very few of them are unsound. "We hope to live to see also a commercial travellers' mutual benefit association, organized not for the benefit of individuals or companies, but for the general good of the members of the profession; having no aim or object except their benefit in all possible ways; managed wisely and well by themselves and not by outsiders, class in the community more imperatively need such an organization, and none could be more largely benefitted by it. OHAPTBE Y. COMMERCIAL TRAVELLING IN'THE FUTURE. HE facts already adduced demonstrate that in the past, and especially in the very recent past, the system of obtaining orders through commercial travellers in this country has had a very rapid growth; that from four or five hundred at the utmost, twenty-five years ago,. the number of travellers has increased to over fifty thou¬ sand at the present time, and is still rapidly increasing. What are the prospects for it in the future ? Will some ♦ other and better plan be devised for the intercourse between buyer and seller, some instantaneous method of interchange, of samples and orders, or will the present system, which has accomplished so much for all parties, be continued and extended ? In a country so rife with new inventions, ,and so prone to adopt new ideas, it is of course impossible to predict absolutely what may be the course of business ten, twenty or fifty years hence. Yet it is safe to say that there is no present probability of any other plan of reaching customers superseding commercial travelling, and for these reasons: the commercial traveller who understands his business can 68 THE COMMEECIAL TEAVELLEE'S present his samples and explain their merits much more pei'suasivelj than any circular or letter can; he can demon¬ strate to the purchaser that it will he for his interest to purchase such and such styles of goods, from his knowl¬ edge of that purchaser's position and surroundings, with a force and conviction that will secure his custom, when every other means would fail; und very often, when a circular, with samples, would be tossed into the waste- paper basket, his presentation of the same samples, accom¬ panied by a plausible demonstration of their desirableness and moderate price, will suffice to procure an order. T^e commercial traveller is, moreover, a link, a medium of communication, between the house employing him and their customers, which cannot well be sundered without serious damage to their business. "We hear much, in these days, of the great advantages of commercial agencies, and undoubtedly they have their value; but their ratings are offen unknown, many times, we doubt not, to the enter¬ prising gentlemen who have established them, influenced and modified by ignorance, lack of judgment, and some¬ times by malicious intent. Facts within our own knowl¬ edge have satisfied us that they are not to be depended on in all cases, and we know that many eminent merchants have come to the same conclusion. This is indeed inevit¬ able from the measures taken to procure information. Until every man in business adheres rigidly to the truth , in regard to his own afiairs, and every banker, assessor, or other party employed to fix the ratings, is not only thor- • GUIDE BOOK. 69 oughlj conversant witli the affairs of all Ms neighbors, and entirely free from all sympathies for or prejudices against any of them, we cannot hope to obtain anytMng more than a general and often an incorrect idea of their pecuniary responsibility. ' The commercial traveller,, on the other hand, has peculiar facilities for learning, without prejudice, the real condition, financially, of his customers, and he can, if skilful, do this without awakening any unpleasant feeling, or in any way prejudicing the interests of his cus¬ tomer. He has, for the most part, no money transactions with his customer; he does not sell him the goods of which he has shown him the samples, but merely registers and transmits his order for them; he does not ordinarily, though in special cases he may, collect the amount due on previous purchases, but he can, in a way which will disarm all suspicion or prejudice, make himself acquainted with the actual standing of a customer, as no canvasser of a commercial agency can, and if he is a man of honor, as all commercial travellers ought and are presumed to be, he will never use the knowledge so gained to the disadvan¬ tage either of his ^employers or the parties who have confided to him their real condition. The rapid extension and enhancement of all commercial enterprises in this country, requires the Biost effective measures for bringing them effectually before the public, and experience has proved, hitherto that no means are so effectual in forwarding any worthy enterprise as a personal canvass. To THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S To show the rapidity of the commercial development of the country, let us state a few facts. In 1846, twenty-five years ago, the value of our imports was $121,691,797, and the eustoms revenue therefrom $26,712,688. In 1870, the value of our imports was $462,354,651, and the customs revenue therefrom $192,878,265, the imports having increased almost fourfold, and the duties a little more than sevenfold. In 1847, our exports were $150,637,464. In ■ 1870 they had increased to $499,073,982. The valuation of property, real and personal, in the United States, in 1850, was, in round numbers, about 7,500 millions of dol¬ lars ; in 1860, it was a fraction over 16,000 millions of dol¬ lars ; in 1870, in the opinion of the men best qualified to judge, it will be little, if any, short of 35,000 millions. This rapid development of wealth is destined to go on increasing for generations to come, and in an accelerating ratio; for we have just arrived at the point where, as a nation, our vast resources can be rapidly developed. The 50,000 miles of railroad already constructed, at a cost of 2,000 millions of dollars, and the 80,000 miles more pro¬ jected and in progress, which will reqi\Jre 3,500 millions to complete it, are only so many avenues for the more rapid development of our national wealth. The trade of all east¬ ern Asia, with' Europe as well as with our own country, passes through our ports and over our railroads, and when the ship canal across the narrower portion of our continent is completed, all the wealth of the East will be poured into our lap, and the change will be made which twenty years GUIDE BOOK, 71 ago few of us expected to live to see, when hfew York shall become the financial centre of the globe, and exchanges on it will be at par, or above, everywhere. Take the valuations of some of our principal cities as another evidence of the vast traffic which is being con¬ ducted in them. !N"o tax valuation, it should be said, will average one-half the actual or market value of the prop¬ erty taxed; yet the assessed valuation of I7ew York city is 928 millions dollars, and of Brooklyn, its nearest suburb, 200 millions more; Boston has 670 millions of assessed valuation; Philadelphia, 508 millions; St. Louis, 187 mil¬ lions; Chicago, 276 millions; Baltimore, 215 millions; Cincinnati, 136 millions; ISTew Orleans, 128 millions; San Francisco, 101 millions; Louisville, 91 millions; Buffalo, 38 millions; Memphis, 25 millions; and Detroit, 21 mil¬ lions ; or 3,100 millions in these fourteen cities, with an absolute certainty that the actual value of the property in them exceeds 7,000 millions of dollars, or nearly the entire valuation of the United States twenty years ago. This great wealth has been created, at least one half of it, within the past twenty years. What, then, may be expected in the thirty years to come before the close of the present century ? The tendency of trade in all departments to concentrate, in all our great cities, in the* hands of large capitalists, will, while diminishing, or, at least, not increasing the number of jobbing and importing houses, and of manufacturers, greatly increase the amount of capital employed, and the vastness of their business; and this will necessitate the employment 72 THE COMMEECIAL TRAVELLEK'S of still greater numbers of commercial travellers in all branches of trade, as tbe sharp competition of these gigan¬ tic establishments will necessitate the use of every available means of increasing the number of their customers. It would be a mistake, however, to suppose that the demand for poorly qualified and incompetent travellers will be greater then than now. On the contrary, the neces¬ sity for first-class men for this employment will be much greater than it is now. "With the intense rivalry which willJbe a marked feature of the canvass for customers, only a man thoroughly familiar with the business and the goods which he represents, and a man, also, of superior address, ready wit, decided business talent, and a wide range of general knowledge, can hope to succeed. Those young men who aspire to a good position in this line of business will do-well to take heed early, and qualify them¬ selves for their work by hard study, and the cultivation of all their powers for it. For such young men there will be ample and profitable employment for years to come. The first years of the twentieth century will find the pop¬ ulation of the United States more than a hundred millions; greater than that of any civilized nation on the globe, and surpassed in a single government only by the millions ^of China. From what is now the line of British America, to the shores of the Gulf, and the boundaries of Mexico, or, more probably, of Central America, across the con¬ tinent, plain and hill-slope, mountain-side and valley, will be traversed by railways and dotted thickly with GUIDE BOOK. 73 cities and Tillages, except tliose broad savannahs of Wyoming, l^ew Mexico, Arizona and Texas, where herds and flochs, numbering millions, will still find pasture; British America itself, long before that time, will have become a portion of our domain, and its cities and towns will form an integral portion of our national heritage. The mines and manufactures of the country will have assumed a magnificence in their products which we can now hardly conceive, and our commerce, by land and sea, will be second to that of no nation on the globe. Ere that time, the problem of speedy transit, both of passengers and goods, which now so perplexes the public mind, will be fully solved, and though goods may not reach the Pacific coast in twenty-four hours after leaving ITew York, as one enthusiast prophesies, the time will not exceed forty- eight hours. Our sails may not, indeed, whiten every sea, for sails will be of very little account by that time, but whether propelled by steam, compressed air, or some a& yet undiscovered motor, there will be few navigable waters which will not be vexed by our keels. The manufactured goods, the raw materials, the agricultural and horticultural products of all nations, will be unladen on our docks and stored in our warehouses"; and - from our ports they will be dispatched to fill the orders which will flow in from every part of the world. The choicest manufactures of Eu¬ rope; the furs of northern Asia, the silks and teas of China and Japan, and their beautiful porcelain and lac¬ quered wares; the rich shawls of Central Asia and India; 74 THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER'S % the spices, precious gums, and djestuffs of Arabia and the Spice Islands; the ivory and palm oil of Africa, the gold and gems of southern Africa, Australia and South Amer¬ ica; the wools, drugs and metals of the west coast of America, and the furs and fish of our own northwest coast, will compete in our markets with our own abundant and varied productions, and for all there will be a constant and unceasing demand, the result of the efforts and labors of commercial travellers, whose sphere of action will not then, as now, be confined to the cities and towns of our own country, but extend to all lands, and the harvest will, be reaped from every continent and considerable island of the globe. In the commercial papers of that day will be found under the head of " "Wants," such advertisements as these: " Wanted, a commercial traveller for Horth China. He must be able to speak Chinese fiuently, and be master of the white goods trade." " Wanted^ a traveller who is conversant with the Malay language, to obtain orders for muslins in the Malay Archi¬ pelago." " A Russian, familiar with the Tartar languages, desires a commission from some manufacturer of woollen goods as commercial traveller in eastern Russia and Siberia. lie has the highest testimonials as to his qualifications." " A young Chinaman, who speaks the American lan¬ guage fluently and well, and is thoroughly conversant with the tea trade and production, desires a situation GUIDE BOOK, as commercial traveller for a tea house in the Gulf States." We do not mean to imply by these sample advertise¬ ments that there will he any 'diminished activity in com¬ mercial travelling at home, or that travellers of foreign birth or qualifications will be preferred to our own country¬ men ; but we only desire to suggest how much wider will be the field than it now is, and how much« more varied and extended the qualifications required. There should be, and we think there will be before that time, one or more special training-schools for qualifying lads, as far as any school can qualify them for this calling. Such a school would be a very diflferent and much better institution than any com¬ mercial or business college now in existence. Its course of instruction would be thorough and practical, familiarizing the pupils not only with the rules and studies intended for business, but with the history, the raw material, the pro¬ cesses of manufacture, the modes of shipment, duties, freights, and other costs of production and importation of the goods in which they will have occasion to deal. The education should also embrace a wide range of geographical, geological, and rhetorical study, with a complete training in the French, German, and Spanish languages, both for writing and speaking. In England the commercial trav¬ ellers have an incorporated school for the thorough educa¬ tion of their children, and it has attained a high reputation. Such a school as we have here shadowed forth, might well be established by them in this country. "We see no good 76 THE* COMMEECIAL TEAVELLEE. f» reason why a young man should not he trained for a com mercial traveller as readily as for any other reputable pro¬ fession, nor why it does not offer as comfortable a chance for a livelihood as almost any other; certainly a better chance than an average clerkship, for which so many are striving.

TABLE VII. LIST OF THE BEST BEOTEES FOR THE ACCOMMODATION OF COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS Ik the following list, obtained with great labor and cost, and only compiled after the most searching inquiry and examination, we haye endeavored to insert the names only of hotels for which we had good and responsible vouchers. If we have in any instance been misinformed in regard to the character and accommodations of any house, we shall regard it as a special favor if any commerpial traveller will inform us. Of course, the hotels of the smaller towns far away from the great markets, cannot provide all the luxuries of the first-class hotels of the. large cities, nor do they charge the prices. In relation to this matter of price of board per day, we would say that we have given it wherever it has been furnished to us; but some of the hotels which accommodate large numbers of commercial travel¬ lers preferred not to specify their rates, as they are accustomed to make a reduction from their regular prices to them. The star prefixed to the price of board denotes that a discount is made to Commercial Travel¬ lers. It is proper to state, the population given in this table is reported by the Hotel Proprietors. The ofiicial returns from the census depart¬ ment will be found in the preceding table. ♦ MAINE.

Commercial^ Tratellees are, almost of necessity, great readers. In their long journeys, and their frequenl; intervals of leisure when they cannot he engaged with customers, they devote much time to reading. Ifaturally enough, a consider¬ able portion of this reading is of the lighter class; and often, no keener or better critic of the merits of a new novel can be found than a wide-awake commercial traveller. But there are many of them, "also, who improve their leisure in the perusal or study of v/orks of a higher character. We have known in¬ stances of men who, in these long journeys and leisure hours, have acquired a good practical acquaintance with French and German; others, of a mathematical turn, who have mastered the higher mathematics during their travels; and one who has made himself so thoroughly at home in ancient and modern history that he might to-day, if he desired, fill a professor's chair on that subject. Generally, however, next to works of fiction, commercial travellers have a fancy for books of travel; and any work of this kind, if not too costly, finds a ready sale with them. The publishers and booksellers whose mames are given below, issue and sell great numbers of books which will find a ready market in the great class whom we represent.

I was iimviderl with four pocket chronometers, (or use in astronomical observations. 1 also had wllh me an " Klpin" watch, whim I rated from time to time, togetlier wlih the chronometers, by observations with the sextant. Of the tlvo iustruments its rate was the second best. With tlie ordinary disturbance due to trans¬ portation Its rate was the least variable, while, with the extraordinary disturbance incident to such an expedition, it was the only instrument on which I could rely, the chronometers at last becoming useless. 1 am, with great respect, yours cordially, J.
