I know too much about Lire and the enterprising and fair-minded policies of its editorial department not to believe that you will guard against a repetition of such unwarranted affronts at a trade. As you know, the Plumbing and Heat ing Industries Bureau, representing the combined manufacturing, wholesaling, and trade interests of the industries, did on April 28, through the Saturday Eve- ning Post,-launch a most comprehensive advertising campaigns whose purpose it is to bring to the public a new realizx tion of the importance of the Master Plumbers and Heating Contractors. | Prumsinc ano Heatine Inoustes | Bureav, per Hugh L, Wood.
