Albert Norman, president of the

standpoint. He declared that one-haif

which he told that his fraternity were
anxious and willing to help towards
any possible revival of local business.
Frank Schlick declared the retailers
to be glad to advocate home products,

William Hamm told of the growth
of the Hamm Brewing company during
the past ten years and said that about
40 per cent of their output was used In
ST Paul alone, but he said that the
greater part of that output was bought
by laboring men, mechanics and clerks,
that the men who were gathered at
the banquet, in common with men in
their positions were so thoughtless that
they never stopped to think of home
products, but took anything showed at
them for good. He said that his COM
pany did not ask for consumption, par
ticularly, but for appreciation and good
will at home.
