''There is one thing characteristic of
ST. Louis that 1 like" said Boston
commercial traveller while talking to
few companions at st. Louis hotel

marl>able hospitality of her people.
You never hear of traveller being in
vited to dine with one of his customers
elsewhere. yet such is my experience in
st. Louis. l met and sold one of your
merchants large bill of goods, and he
afterward suggested that he call with
his wife and escort me to his home for
dinner 1 accepted. and was royalty
entertained. This is remarka BILE, and
do not wonder that ST. Louis has such
a worldwide reputation as hospitable,
