St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1888-07-07
AN OLD CONTRIBUTOR,
Who Will Be Gladly Welcomed
By His Fellow Travellers.

1t is little over six months since
"Ynot" wrote his last letter for the
commercial travellers department of the
GLOBE, and l find myself wondering
what has become of my old friends. l
have looked in vain for letter from
'Ante Lucem." What has become of
him, that his pen has been quiet so
long? | know his letters were interest
ing and eagerly looked for by his broth
er travellers. They were full of in
structions, good advice and gentle
roasts. Something must have happened
to him. Perhaps some conductor has
pulled a few miles less than he should
and 'Ante" has not yet recovered from
his surprise. | would say 10 him that
the air ship was not success, and L
have gone back again to labor at my
old work. l will try also to stir up the
boys occasionally in the GLOBE. ''Scot-
tie" was another welcome contributor.
His letters were always instructing, but
he also is silent; this is not right. All
the boys should take an interest in the
department which the GLOBE, the lead
ing daily in the Northwest, has so kind
" set apart for them. There is no life
so full of incidents as the life of COM
mercial traveller in his daily rounds
from town to town. He sees
everybody, hears everything good,
he puts up at poor hotel or at good
one, rides on freight trains, making long
and tedious trips, meeting different
characters. and hundred and one other
things which would be of interest to the
public and real benefit to number of
commercial travellers and their friends.
| hope the boys will take hold of this
matter and contribute little whenever
possible. 1t is not feature of the COM
mercial travellers to let anything lag that
bears their name. SO come to the front
and fire off your wit and wisdom that
the world and the boys may be benefited
by it. YNoT.
Another thing 1 would like to speak
of is that the wives and sweetheartS of
commercial travellers should contribute
to the commercial travellers department
of the GLOBE. 1t would be pleasant
feature, and would be read with inter-
est. | know that they are interested in
the department from the eagerness with
which have seen them pick up Satur-
days GLOBE and turn to the CONNER
cial travellers page. They can aid in
making it more interesting to their huS-
bands and also source of pleasure to
themselves.
