°60—The Buffalo Courier
date printed the following:
“To-day may be regarded with a
special interest by the many warm
friends of William Edward Foster, for
it is the thirtieth anniversary of his
association with the Buffalo Commercial,
of which he has been long the chief
editorial writer. 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.”

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.
