Show THEY ARE RIVAL CITIES. There is intense rivalry between Chicago and New York and the spirit of Chicago, in attempting to displace New York as the metropolis met-ropolis of America, commands admiration. Lately New York publishing houses have had labor troubles and, taking advantage of the tension, the Illinois Manufacturers' Association Associa-tion has caused to be printed in the New York papers page advertisements advertise-ments reading as follows : "Come to Chicago to Publish and Print. Chicago extends an earnest invitation to the publishers and printers of New York to locate here. Chicago is the logical spot for your business. It is a geographical, commercial, and distributing center of the country. The best printing of the countiy is done here now. Labor here believes in reasonable discussion instead of radical force. Banking facilities are admirable Postal conveniences are unusual. The Illinois Manufacturers' Association extends this invitation to the publishers of New York, and will respond promptly and helpfully to any inquiries by mail, wire, or in person." |
