Wyllys w. Baird president of the Chi
cago Real Estate Board. says Chicago citi-
zens are greatly interested in the St. Louis
Fair. He says this is especially, true of the
real estate men. They Were in close touch
with the conditions proceeding and follow
ing the Columbian Exposition and are curl
Gus to know how things will work here
The building boom in Chicago caused by
the Columbian Exposition was followed by
strong reaction" said he. The city has
overcome that reaction now. however, and
has grown up to the building which was done
then. l doubt if there will be SC. marked
reaction here after your Worlds Fair. The
country is in more prosperous condition
now than then, and from what can learn,
there will not be so, much indiscriminate
building as was done In Chicago"
