Duluth'S position as wholesale and
retail center was long ago established
but each succeeding year has added
to its volume OF business until 1t is
now an active competitor with the
big merchants Of the Twin Cities.
The wholesalers have been able to
extend their territory and most of the
big jobbers have travelling statesmen
who patrol the entire Northwest to
meet the requirements of their Gus
toners.
The same Is true of the retailers.
People living In surrounding towns
have come to learn Of the bargains In
Duluth with the result that they III

going to St. Paul or Minneapolis.

fered them and local merchants ore
getting the benefits of trade which
formerly went to outside cities.
Aside from the fact that the prices
which have been offered are right,
there has been another element which
has been important in bringing about
these results. The tendency of Du.
luth merchants to be fair with thair
employees has had wholesome ef-
feet. Early closing in both wholesale
and retail establishments, the Satur-
day half-holidays during the summer
and the disposition on the part of the
employer to listen to and correct any
abuses to which the men may be sub
ject-all these things have promoted
feeling of common interest which
has ben productive OF the best TO-
suits.

sign that the day Of the strike is
rapidly passing. Confidence on both

ress and prosperity.
