The story Of the West, the marvellous
myth.Ike growth Of that vast region
across the Mississippi has never yet
been adequately written Histories Of
the United States deal chiefly with the
early beginning Of our nation, and are
therefore largely restricted to the east
crn portion Of the country This ac-
counts In part for the generally wide
spread ignorance OF the west which IL

pert bookbinders have little secret
methods VI their own by which to pro-
ouce peculiarly fine results, and these
secrets they guard as jealousy as the
housewife does her favorite family
recipes.
