Ralph '. Benson of tho Chamber or CsmmsFes. |
 It ceRsisA of magazines ana periodicals. It is separate and dis tinct from the library maintained by the Chamber of city directories of practically every city and town in tho country. Each week. each month. each day or whatever period of time the new publication arrives the old one is removed and the new one takes its place. This sometimes is not done when it seems advisable to keep a few back numbers for reference purposes.
 The list runs all the way from magazines of finance. community building and chamber of commerce affairs, to safety factors and general information. It is kept on a table in the directors room and is avail able for the use of the general pup lie whether members of the cham ber or not. It is Mir. Benson's hope that some day the Chamber may be able to maintain a reading room where men can lounge and read these periodicals at will.
