Of culture and development of this
richest section of North america ant
it wants every individual to feel that
his interests are those of Minneapolis
This is one of the greatest strokes
OF enterprise in the northwest, anG
there is no room for doubt that it,
effect will, be wholesome. There is
a saying that Minneapolis is 1.-The tor
of the earth" and there can be nc
denying that such enterprise is sure
to keep the Flour City to the fore ir
