More than sixty experienced persons, exclu- sive of eight or en printers who set up adver-
 tisements and other nietter on the premises, are on the permanent staff of Nelson Chesman & Go. as compared with three or four in the frm's early days. To keep pace with this phe- nomenal growth the floor space of the head office alone has been increased from 600 to moro than 2 ,000 square feet. More than s25, 900 was spent for the building and for remodeling it for their offices at St. Louis. They are one of two of the agencies that own outrighs ss5 occupy their own building. The head office to-day E one of the best equipped in the country, and both branch offices are complete in every detail.

statement was construed to mean that
he had been assaulted. robbed and shot
