Coming from a man OF the extended
travel and wide experience which Mr.
Thompson has enjoyed, Richmond can
well feel proud of its new buildings.
for there is hardly q country on the
globe this representative of the Car
negie Steel Company has not visited. 3
Perhaps those who live here con-

which lis taking place on the sky-
