selves that their suburbs seemed to
touch elbows.
While Minneapolis lacks the COM

falls stand those colossal Touring mills
that have been the pride and glory Of

Minneapolis covers an area OF ffty-
three square miles. The business blocks
are elegant and stately. and the private
residences are notable for their beauty.
