In giving publicity to our library and its working methods, we aim to show what library work can mean to business houses. It is probably true tliat libraries cw a whole are better equipped with statistical and technical literature them is justified by the demand; and we hope that a suggestion of how useful our owii library is to us and how widely we appeal to resources without, may tend to proynote a more general practice of Looking to libraries as business aids. The recognition of their commercial possibilities would, we think, meet with a hearty response from the libraries themselves, and so we, among others, would thus benefit from the availability of larger resources for obtaining answers to questions that are beyond the scope of the necessarily limited equipment of a private business library. STONE WEBSTER, 84. State St.f Boston yM ass. July 13, 1907.
