This little brochure is designed as an introduction to modern St. Louis, and is presented by its citizens. The reader can see in the engravings, made from photographs, how we live; he can see the kind of buildings in which we do business; our recreation and pleasure grounds, and he may form some sort of an opinion of the people of the most hospitable city in the country. He may be induced to pay us a visit — say during our forty days' fall festivities — and see more of the not "future," but present, great city of the West.
