Canadian grocer July-December 1898 . o himbelongs the distinction of being the oldestcommercial traveler—in point of service—in Canada. Coming to this country in 1858, he tooka position with Alex. Urquhart & Co., wholesale grocers, Montreal, who controlledCrosse & Blackwells sauces, and Eppsscocoa, as well as other British goods, forCanada. He remained with the Urquharts untilthey retired from business, in 1876. Hethen formed a new firm under the style ofConverse, Colson & Lamb, to take oversome of their agencies, including the twomentioned above. Subsequently, his partnersretired, and Mr. Colson carried the businesson alone until his son joined him a fewmonths ago. When I first came to Montreal, saidMr. Colson, in conversation one day, things were not as we see them now.

Inmy early days, the wholesale men had to im-port such things as sugar, tea and rice directfrom the country of production. The retailmerchant bought—and paid—but twice ayear, so that the jobber had to purchase enor-mous stocks—whole cargoes, in fact. * Drum-mers, as we know them, were unheard ofthen. Each house sent out a representativetwice a year, but we were always particularnot to call upon a rivals customers. Therewas plenty for us all, and competition ingetting orders was unknown. We handledbig accounts in those days. Why, I haveknown one firm owe us as much as $10, 000,
