1t seems that there is some Difficult
ty in having a city directory. The
Wright Directory Co., of Milwaukee,
las printed the directory for many
years. Last season, c. II. Paetzold
took the matter in hand and canvassed
for advertising and for the directories
and succeeded to the extent that it
stopped the Wright Co., from going
ahead and Mr.. Paetzold has not as
yet issued the directory and the mat
ter is at a stand still. The Chamber
of Commerce has taken the matter in
hand and expects to straighten it out I
so Wausau can have directory very
soon.
