VINO needs work. The recent letter Of
the boot and shoe manufacturers cm-
phasized this truth. If our people will
buy boots and shoes made at tOme-
and there are no better made anywhere
EVERY shoemaker ia the city will i,aEe
work. What is true Of the boots and
shoes is also true Of the several other
articles manufactured in our city. 1t
is sheer nonsense for any one to say
that goods cannot be manufactured
as cheaply OF as well here as
in some Eastern city, in Europe
or in Cuba, unless exceptional circuin-
stances prevent. Our manufacturers
are well equipped as 10 capital and 10
cation. Their workmen are the peers.

MANUFACTURER BACKWARD.
NOW a word to the manufacturers.
| The Commercial club has for the past
| year and halt been trying to get before
| the public list of all goods Danufact-
ured In the city. First we tried to get
| uD directory and advertised, asking
manufacturers TO send us their names
| and lines OF goods, Dut we received so
| meager q response that the project had
| to be given up. Next, after a deal OF
| hard work, we got up trademark
| which we were willing To advertise. but
not manufacturer used ii. That, too,
was given up. Most st. Paul people
| would prefer to buy goods made at home.
did they know what To ask for and
where to get it.
"Oue Massachusetts house spends
| 81, 900 a year in st. Paul to advertise a
| $3.50 shoe, but one looks in vain for the
necessary information which will enable
st. Paul shoe to be selected under all
circumstances. Not one in fifty knows
what brands Of cigars, of soap, of
| crackers, of syrup, and the thousand
! and one other articles made here must
| be asked for. or where to 20 in order to
secure them. How many people, for
| instance, know that we nave candy
| factory in this city that makes
| chocolates and ships them in large
| quantities as far east as Chicago? Or
| that one st. Paul house is large man
| ufacturer of patent medicine which is
! shipped all over the United States, or
| that there are between $1,000 and 10000
| skilled mechanics employed in Our
factories2 DO not hide your light under
bushel. but let the people know what
| you make and where to get it, aud it is
beyond all doubt that every ST. Paul
man, woman and child will adopt the
motto OF the Commercial club. Loyalty
