ex-governor Carroll S. Page, who
never loses an opportunity to boom his
business and believes implicitly in
printers ink, has just issued neat lit
tie booklet setting forth the extent Of
his business. This hardly seems nee
essary as it is so universally known
that he is the largest dealer in green
calf skins in the world. However, we
gather from this publication that fully
80 per cent, of all the hides, skins and
pelts coming from important sections Of
the United States and Canada go to G..

verified by letters from railroad offici-
ais and station agents. tits remark

that such an immense business could
