St. Louis is 294 miles south of Chicago and differs in = many respects from its big neigh cond bor. While it is a busy city there is not near as much hustle and turmoil as on the streets of Chicago. It seems like the peo- ple at St. Louis do not hurry as much. Yet it has 3300 factories and it is said to be the largest manufacturer of tobacco and shoes in the world.
