AS a gratifying evidence of progress be-
ing made in business circles, We note the
advent of the Pacific branch Of the Mime
sofa Type Foundry Co. Of st. Paul, MINI,
which literally fills long-feIt want.
The Minnesota type Foundry, though an
absolutely independent corporation. is a
portion OF Barnhart Bros. & Spindler's
great chain of type foundries. They were
the one prominent house that refused to
enter the trust and the printers appreci-
ate their independence by giving them a
more liberal patronage than ever before
