III the city. The desire to use home pro-
duced goods is more evident now than
has been noticeable heretofore during
my thirty-tiye years here in business in
this line. TINS feeling of loyalty ell
courages the manufacturers to make
fine lines of goods, for if the St. Paul
trade asks Tor certain styles of goods
they can be furnished at once.
Some people had the idea that we

st. Paul will demonstrate the fact that
the goods OF all kinds can be made here
as well as anywhere. This is very
important fact III manufacturing-in
other lines as well as ours. st. Paul
money can buy just as desirable st.
Paul goods as can be made anywhere,
and a reasonable demand will rapidly
increase the proportion of fine goodS
made in this city.

Shroehule & Co., Wholesale jewelers.
Our holiday trade is a little better tnan
that of last year. although not as good
as the November trade of '9l. The No
vember was very good as compared with
corresponding periods. Our export
trade has just begun. We had none last
year. st. Paul is the market to which
people in Manitoba and Northwest ter
ritOry can send their orders and get
them filled most easily. OF course a
large number of our export orders come
to st. Paul by mail, and they have been
exceedingly satisfactory to us.
Mr.. KOnantz, of the KOnantZ Saddlery
Company lively employment of
hands keeps up, and we have from 100
to 10 men actively at work. We are
looking to increase our room soon. so as
to take care of still larger business
next year. We are working overtime,
which is nothing new with US, and we
have particularly large orders now for
Chicago, Milwaukee, Kansas City. ST..
Joseph, Des Moines-all outside of our
regular home trade.
"Do you export some?" asked the re-
porter.
"Why, sure" said Mr.. KOnantz. 1--WE
sell in Manitoba and British Columbia.
OF course, we ship to the West coast,
and its movement from there is un-
known. We ship to Los Angeles. San
Francisco, Denver, Salt Lake City, Oma-
ha and elsewhere in that district. In
fact, we ship from st. Paul to all the
leading Western cities. Our force is
being increased continually"
