A record of thirty years’ assiduous devotion to journalism is in itself suggestive of almost immeasur- able effort and of tireless industry. In point of continuous service on one news- paper, Mr. Foster is now among the oldest editors of the State. Time, how- ever, it is pleasant to observe, has but touched him with kindly finger. Those familiar with his writings from day to day appreciate that his fine mentality is in its flower. While we have often differed from his expressed views on political and civic questions, and are likely to continue to do so, at this time we feel at liberty to say that in com- munication with the public through the columns of his paper he ever indicates the grace and generally the liberality of a true gentility. The Courier extends its congratulations to Mr. Foster with the hope that the years of his prosperity may multiply.” ’*63—Rev.

A RULE AS TO TAILORS Never select a tailor because his prices are low. This is a command- ment quite as important as that laid down by Thomas Jefferson, in his “ Ten Rules of Life: ‘Never buy a thing because it is cheap.”” You may rely upon it, that the more you pay for an article of clothing, at a tailor’s whose reputation is number one, the better will be the garment in all par- ticulars—in closeness of fitting, excel- lence of workmanship and superior cloth and trimmings. It is obvious that the merchant who is allowed a liberal margin of profit, and who has keen competition in his own field, will look after that which he produces, under such circumstances, with a greater pride and a keener scrutiny than he would if doing a haphazard business. ISAAC WALKER & SON Tailors, 7 West 30th St., NEW YORK.
