Secretary A. S. Tallmadge, of the
chamber of commerce, who has the
work of compiling and publishing the
annual report in charge, feels very
proud of his efforts this year and is
of the opinion that the coming report
will be as handsome piece of work
ana VIII contain more lnIOTHidllou VI
value to ST. Paul citizens and other
interested people than anything of the
kind that has ever been issued.
He already has hundreds of requests
for copies of the report, from all parts
Of the United States, and proudly ex-
hibits several that bear foreign post
marks The edition is limited to 5000
and Mr. Tallmadge does not expect
them to last long enough to allow the
ink tO dry within their covers as they
were exhausted last year within thirty
days and the demand for them this
year is, so far, over reaching that OF
last.
