day when the Library of American Manu-
facturars will open formally in the Hudson

The plan was suggested by the need 10
oroyide in this city some neutral ground
in the business district where buyers ana
representatives of manufacturers can meet,
and ii was aided by the demand for a per-
1nanent and comprehensive collection OF
trade literature. Originally the library was
to he for the engineering branches only, but
II was found desirable to extend 1t 10 all
branches of industry.
The comfort of the buyer is the prevail
ing idea of the new venture. Everything
is free to him. and besides the public rooms
of the library there are rooms for conl-
Dental business transactions.
The custodian of the library is the Com
mercial Bureau Company, of which william

who desire to place their catalogues In the

6exed for the use of buyers pay for the
privilege Three thousand manufacturers
