ployment for Union Workmen.

Aside from it's shipping interests,
the iron ore products Of it's tributary
territory and its logging and lumber
interests, Duluth has achieved an en-
viable distinction as manufacturing
center. Each year new industries are
hein gadded and as result employ
ment is given to a rapidly increasing
population. Many interests are allied
to the lumber and iron trade, which
derive a distinct benefit from being
near to the source Of supply. In addi-
zion to their saving on the transported
ton Of raw material, they are in a po-
sition where they can forward their
product at little cost and they have
taken advantage Of the opportunity.
Among these are the immense elevat-
ors where millions of bushels Of wheat
are stored. This city is on a direct rail
anC it. has the capacity for storing a
large amount of grain, to be held until
the price is satisfactory. Even wheat
from Canada is shipped across the
border and into Duluth elevators where
it is eventually loaded in hulls and for
Warded to it's destination In the East
All Of this assists in promoting the
prosperity Of the city and in lettering
the condition Of the Workingman by
furnishing him with employment.
