smack of a drop too much of ego. So,
let our facts and figures tell their
laie; Today St. Joseph stands as
the third largest wholesale dry goods
enter in the United States. It is a
jobbing city outdistanced by few
that ranks with the leaders. Nor
are our manufacturers outclassed in
the matter of variety and volume.
