AS one of the results of this renewed

members men engaged in all lines of
business, merchants, manufacturers,
lawyers. doctors. and all kindred Oc-
equations. This movement was
started several evenings ago by
number OF the prominent young
business men of the city. after
they had received promises of support
from over 200 of the leading business
men in the city. At this conference a
letter was prepared stating the objects
Of the club, and inviting 1000 OF the
leading business men. of the city to
attend meeting to be held in Lifts
hall in the Grand opera house next
Monday evening to consider the matter
and discuss plans and details.

expected to have from 500 to 1,000 mem

has been prevalent among large portion OF
the business men of this city, which rscog-
nze5 the fact that ~. Paul's commercial
and industrial status would be more fully
maintained by the existence of distinct
lively commercial organization.
The financial depression that has per-
vaded all sections of our country, including
the territory tributary 10 st. Paul, during the
last four wears has doubtless delayed the in
stitution of commercial association such
as exist and flourish in many of the older

prosperity which cannot fail, If the business
element in this community does its part, to
result in great good to the city. IL seems

pursuits, is not only practical idea, but an
actual necessity.

courage and promote the commercial and
manufacturing interests of the city i'll every
way possible, to advertise to the world the
diversified advantages of our city and state,
to ascertain the needs of the city. and to
assist in removing impediments TO her prog
ress, to foster and encourage through social
intercourse public spirit and feeling of 10y
atty which will inure 10 the benefit of the
CITY, anu to teach that whatever promotes the
business interest of any class of citizens IS
for the benefit of all, and that whatever in-
jures business, in any line, is against the in
terest of all
