citation.

Incident to the efforts being made by
the officers of the st. Louis exposition
commission to secure an exhibit OF
manufactures for Iowa at St.Louis some
effort is being made for the formation
of an Iowa Association of Manufacture
ers. The commission designated s. M.
Leach, member from this district, to
have charge of the manufacturers ex-
hibit and he finds that there is no or
gani2ation thru which any work can be
done and he must rely entirely on get
ting the attention of individual manu-
facturers. h is therefore proposed that
an association be formed to work for
the mutual benefit of the manufactur-
ers. The state labor commissioner as
he goes about the state is also engaged
in urging that the nanufacturs pre-
pare for an exhibit at the st. Louis ex-
position. 1t is believed that Iowa can
make 4 showing of progress in manu-
factures that will astonish even the
best informed residents of the state.
