ing next Monday night, at the chamber
OF commerce The sentiment of the
meeting favored the renting Of some
vacant store in the wholesale district

samples Of goods manufactured by the
concerns represented in the associa-

samples. and thus establish per-

by a prominent wholesale grocery firm

voked some comment. The associa-
ton disapproved of it's spirit and the
members desired to know the name Of
the grocery concern responsible for the
letter, but it was not divulged
Secretary Church. when called upon
for his report, said since the last meet
ing he had called upon eighty-three
manufacturers, collected $500 and put

ones. The cards advise the people of
st. Paul to purchase st. Paul goods.
Secretary Church said that only three
firms refused to put up the cards in
their places of business. They were
Allan Black, PeaSe Bros, and the

further reported that the water board
Of the city was about to purchase q
buggy, for use by the department, in
Chicago, and that Robert Seeger, the
gasoline light contractor, was pur-
chasing his lamps outside of the city.
