And the house represented by Kim"
Thus sings James WhitconAb Riley of
the always cheerful knight of the grip.
However, if Mr.. Riley had sung exclu-
sively of the ST. Paul travelling men he
would have to provide that his toast be
drunk in water; for members of the
Sanity City council, No. 50, United Com
mercial Travellers of America, do not. at
their parties at least, drink their toasts
= in anything else.
The travelling man has the reputation
of being the best story teller, the truest
friend and the jolliest comrade Of all the
professional men. But he is something,
else besides as the success of the -four
ishing travelling mems organization in st.
Paul has proven. He is a good organizer,
and those of him who are at the head OF
their organization have proven that he
has remarkable executive ability. The
travelling man has been closely connected
with the progress of the country. His ap-
pearance in any town is always an evil
dence of the prosperity of that town.
The very word travelling man" is a
synonym for good fellowship" In no
other profession or line of business have
the members been so successful in carry
ing their friendship They have made
their occupation a common ground for
mutual help and personal esteem.
It was only in January, 1888, that the
travelling men Of America came to the
conclusion that an organization would
benefit and be a protection to the mem
@ers of their profession The Order OF
America was then incorporated under
the laws of the state of Ohio, and the
first council, Columbus No 1. was in
stituted in March following with forty
nine charter members. From this one
council the order has grown until il now
numbers 1S5 subordinate councils eigh-
teen grand councils, and over 5000 men,
bers.
Eight years ago the first council of this
order was organized in the Northwest
when Zenith Council No 40 was institute
ed at Duluth, MINI. TO ST. Paul belongs
the honor of organizing the second coun-
Gil, SANITY City No. 50, being instituted
Dec. %. In 1894 three more councils were
organized, one in Minneapolis one in
Grand Forks and one in Fargo These
five councils were for awhile under the
immediate jurisdiction of the supreme
council, located at Columbus, Ohio, but
those interested in the success of the or
ganization realized that it was for the
interests of the Northwestern organiza-
lions to have a home government A
meeting was held in Duluth Sept 80 1921
by the representatives from the live
Northwestern councils that had been in
Minnesota nd DoI

invite tkeir friends. Between Christmas
and New Years the anniversary parties
are held, usually at one of the larger
hotels, and they are always prominent
social events of the season.
The St. Paul council has an especially
commendable feature, that emphasizes
its philanthrepic purpose. This feature
is an employment bureau. the object be-
ing to obtain situations for worthy men,
bers out of employment. !, Many whole
salers have profited by this agency, the

Saturday of each month at Central hall,

with the requirements the growing
organiza ton has secured new quarters

which their order is founded, and the
men who gathered in st. Paul last night
to celebrate the eighth annual anniger-
sary of the SANITY City council are the
kind of men who are successful in in
sitting these principles not only in the
minds of their own members, but in the
