Numerous novel features are under consideration and numerous souvenirs will be presented.

Some news of a former employee of the Paye & Baker Mfg. Co.:

St. Elmo Coombs, who, because of a nervous breakdown recently was obliged to leave his territory in which he was traveling for the Sunderland & Miller Jewelry Co., 807-809 Title Guarantee building, and who was thought to be recovering rapidly, is not convalescing as fast as he would like. It looks now as if Mr. Coombs will not be able to come to the office until after the first of the year. Mr. Coombs is one of the best known jewelry salesmen on the Pacific Coast. W. E. Sunderland, president of the company, is covering his own territory and that of Mr. Coombs, and although it taxes his efforts he says he is holding his own and Mr. Coombs’ trade and showing an increase over that of last year.
