1t has become an established IA ID
that the character and excellence ot
the st Paul manufactured goods com
inands them ready market, not only
IN the Northwest, but in all sections
OF the United States. Rapid strides
have been made sinceJ the depression
oy the st. Paul manufacturers of ST
Paul IN charging the capacity of their
pants, and placing upon the market a
standard article with the mark Ct
Paul on it, which, with the diversity of
the goods manufactured here and to-
gether with their superior quality. en-
aDles them to successfully comnete
with the product Of the East, and get
a large amount Of trade which boS
heretofore gone to Chicago. The fol- fol-
lowing talks by the heads of local firms
gives some idea Of the scope of the
business carried on in the rnanufac~
turing fields Of st. Paul:
Arthur & Sternberg have announced
that they will dispose of their whole
stock Of notions and devote themselves
exclusively to jobbing of mems furnish
ing goods and the development of their
atLeady effective manufacturing plant,
winch was initiated only about a wear
ago and has been materially enlarged
since that time. The class of goods
turned out have received golden com
ments, and, what is better, increa sins,
orders and solid money collections
from the customers of the firm and
today large proportion of their sales
are of class Of goods which have been
largely bought Of the Eastern factories
in the past
McFadden Mullen & Co. who do tho
largest exclusive candy business in ST
Paui, said yesterday that they were
thinking Of extending their territor-v
ana mad already put man in the state
or Washington to call on the trade
there looking to this end. They manu-
factured all their own candy. with the
exception of few specialties. and had
just recovered from the rush of the
monday season. They were shortly to
put new pound package Of candy On
the market under their trade mark
which would rival any Of the similar
packages put up by firms in Chicago
ana New York. Only the very finest
selections would be used in putting nm
this package, and at the same time
the price would be within the reach
OF all. From their past experience in
putting candy specialties on the mar
ket the new package promises to be-
come well established in the North
western market. Mr.. Mullen said yes
terday that they were finding market
Tor their goods in six states, and the
demand for fine candies had been bet
ter than ever before
The Union Mattress Company re-
ports that the demand for ST Pan,
made mattresses has been excellent
right along. The demand for medium
grade mattresses has been especially
good, while the call for moss, palm
leaf and hair mattresses Of the better
grades had been steadily increasing.
MI. Lowell, present manager of the
concern, said the sea moss mattress
which was first introduced in the East
year ago, was becoming popular in
the West, and their concern was Civ
ing the sea moss body mattresses con-
siderable attention, and expected a big
trade of them for the coming wear. The
sea moss Of which the mattresses We're
made was gathered at high tide, ana
made healthy dry mattress. MANY
companies sold them as a sanitary
mattress. They weighed about ten
pounds less than the Spanish moss ann
were pure sweet mattress, having no
door, which made them at present
about the best medium grade mattress
on the market.
The Crescent Creamery company saw
that they are finding market for their
Crescent Creamery Brand butter in
nearly all the Eastern states. and also
enjoy large trade on the Pacific
coast. They also cater to the United
States government, having contracts
for the supply of the navy yard Of
Brooklyn, as well as having furnished
Dutter to the Western posts for many
years, including Fort Smelling. The
contracts for butter are let to the firm
making the lowest bid for the highest
test butter, and for many years the
Crescent Creamery company have Sc
cured the contract as, the quality of
Minnesota butter is recognized in the
East, and the war; department in max
ing the award always considers the
quality of the butter as we'll as the
price. As high as 10000 pounds has
been furnished by the ST. Paul con-
Germ to the navy department in one
year. The Crescent Creamery COM
pany report that a large amount of
their product finds market in the Twin
Cities. They have tcreameries at
Northfield, Rochester and Zumbrota,
E. A. Cammack. manager of the COM
pany, went to Mortified yesterday to
look over their plant there
c. NJ. Power. of the st. Paul Foundry
company, said yesterday that last year
was rather a light year for building
as indicated by the business which
they had done in the architectural sun
plies, but that contractors and iron
men We're looking forward to a busy
year. Their principal business was
however. in railroad iron, and miscel-
laneous iron moulding rather than
structural material. He thought that
the steel constructed buildings would
not be so popular as they had been in
the past. They had received some
large orders in Montana recently
among them an order for a large lot of
coal machinery. Last year there had
been good many brick court houses
and schools erected throughout the
country. From latest reports there
would be even a larger number this
year. Their business was so per cent
better this year than for correspond
ing time lest year
