U. A, I). COLLINS. our genial
M representative of the Newark Sales Division, had just stepped
out of a Liggetts Drug Store in
Syracuse, X. Y.. and as he stopped
to light his cigar there was a slight
click and "The Camera-man'' with
a chuckle of triumph dodged back
into the store. The deed was
done, the picture was "took." And so we have the pleasure of
presenting this interesting view of
Mr. Collins in his native haunts. It
was through his strenuous efforts
and convincing arguments that Mr.
R. A. Weld, manager of the Liggetts
Drug Store, in Syracuse, was in-
ducal to take the Sherwin-Williams
Agency, and it is through his close co-operation that they have been
able to handle the line so successfully, inspire ofmuch keen competition.
We are indebted to Mr. R. A. Weld for the photograph. i hank you,

Mr. K. J. Clare, our Oklahoma "Cyclone," is leading (lu: Division so far for the month (January), in the number of new agents.

Mr. G. A. Dorwart is one ot the representatives who is pushing Mr. Clare hard for first pl.uvin thetolal number of new agents landed for rhe month. He started out on a special new agency campaign a few weeks ago -and brought in four dandy new agents. He did not sell these new agenls just enough to bring them across the line, either, the orders ran from S250 to Solid each.
Omaha Division
Mr. C. I. Berg of the Division has denioit'irated more dearly than ever that C. I. H. nor only stands for C. I. Berg but also for "Car load Insecticide Hoosror." He is just in vvkh two more orders, each calling for u ear-load of Lime-Sulfur Solution. Mr. Berg is not over looking the paint business either while taking these little Insecticide orders, as he recently turned in an order from our jobbers, The Salt Lake Hardware Co..

The Western District plunged into the New Tear with a deter mination to roll up a splendid volume of business by strengthening the old trude and adding new accounts, and the fine spirit of co-opera tion existing between sales force office and factory, has resulted in substantial increase in both Trade Sales and M. S. D.
Chicago and Northwestern Divisions are confident of outdoing each other for sales and division honors, and the enthusiasm is made more keen hy the fine work that the M. S. D. salesmen are doing.
It is a iively pace ahly abetted by the office force, shipping de
partment and factory.

Representatives' Competition to February 1, 1913
The little i\ pographii-ul error in our lists last month didn't in the least confuse \1r. Duncan out there on the Pacitir Const. This gentleman continues to land new agents right and left and his good work keeps his division well up in first place. Mr. Spettigue or New ark tried his hand at landing new agents, and while he was doing well hefore, those sis added last month certainly show him a leader when it conies to landing new agencies. Mr. Wansner keeps up his good work and San Francisco takes third place as a result.
Il was only one short month ago that Texas was fighting it out for third place. Then Mr. Conger made a few New Year's Resolu tions and went out and landed to new dealers and other accounts. Thai certainly is "going some." It was this kind of work that brought him Top-Notchcr honors last year.
Mr. Laihrop of Minneapolis continues to gather a goodly crop in his division. His splendid work places Minneapolis in second place. Mr. Albitrran of Newark is another gentleman with the ucw-dealerand-other-account habit. His- fine work placed his division second last month and third this month. Keep it up, gentlemen!
