While Versailles is about closing one of the most prosperous yc;us in her history, we feel safe in saying that the year 1007 will far overreach that of the present so far as our industrial affairs are concerned.

The proper wires are working, et we can not afford to make these plans public just now, (or fear of having to "back up" because of their failure.
