The Free Press has been enab ed to

that il will prove as profitable to them

hands of those whom. it falls.
In so being able to present this
book to our readers, great credit is
also due to Mr.. j. P. Bushnell, who
solicited the patronage of the bust

faithful and tireless worker in its
publication, and during his short stay
In our city has made many friends by
his pleasant, gentlemanly way and ac-
communicating manner. Besides his
work of soliciting the patronage OF
the business men, he has N de conSid-

has written valuable review of the
same, which is embraced within the
work. Also an article On MankatQ's
business, commercial and manufac-
turing interests, institutions, etc.,
which abounds with information, ana
adds greatly to the value of the work.
Another prominent feature of the
book, is an article on The City of

secretary Of the board of trade. From
his position Mr.. Chapman has been
peculiarly able to keep in close touch
with the growth Of the city, it's busi-
ness, industrial, social and general in
terests, and from the fund of his in
formation upon the subject, has given
most interesting review of the city's
growth, showing it to have been solid

gives few statistics of the business
of the city, and it's varied manufac-

location and it's fine educational ad-
vantages.
In addition to the features noted
above, will be found a brief review of
the business firms of the city, whose

all serving to make it a most COM
