THE merchants all are pleased with
their holiday sales. They say more
money was in circulation than there
had been for years. This speaks well

expect to see good times. And they
won't be disappointed.

the many fourishing industries of
Baltimore city are it's cotton mills,
grouped mainly in the suburb of
Woodbury., which has large indus
trial population. In recent years Bal

enterprise the Baltimore Sun has been
long recognized leader, and the
stimulation it has given to industrial
progress is one of the best things in
its useful and honorable record.
