American Manufacturers Felt Sighted

Appleton. Wis. May go Special j
It is beginning to look a though the pa
per trade of the United States will not be
represented at the Paris exposition. The
industry in America was granted space
which will not allow any satisfactory eX-
hibit of the work in this country to be
made. the space allotted being in gal
Iery III feet long and 16 feet wide. The
manufacturers had made application for
a much larger space than this and the
failure TO give what is necessary To
make a fair representation of the proper
tionS the business has reached in
America will doubtless result in an utter
lack of an American naper exhibit.
