Importer Wholesale Luggage: Even in big-ship first : is rarely done on the first and last evenings and not too generally on Sunday venings. Dress clothes, of course, involve extra luggage and since the chances re several to one against your needing them on shore if you are taking a normal oliday tour, you may arrange with the steamship company to hold in storage a rank or suitcase containing this gear, to be picked up on the return trip, for se again on the steamer. Luggage problems, along with the luggage itself, can bus be lightened in Europe by perhaps one-fourth.
LAUNDRY is handled much more swiftly in Europe than it used to be. Twenty-four-hour service, at considerably higher prices than for three-to five-day service, is offered in many of the Continent's top hotels.
LIFE and THEFT INSURANCE, meaning special policies for yourself and your luggage during travel abroad, is one of those advisable things which too few persons too seldom bother with. Luggage insurance against theft or loss can mean much to your peace of mind. Ask your insurance agent about the so-called "All-Risk Tourist Floater." As in the matter of inoculations, I'm a very poor one to give advice on this subject, for in thirty years not one thing, in any country in the world, has ever been stolen from my luggage while it was in transit or in hotels, nor has anything, including open money on my night table, ever been lifted from my room.
Although the economy of irly Chicago was based on importer wholesale luggage and retail ide, today these enterprises make up a much jailer portion of Chicago's economic life. The rift and Armour meat-packing companies have oved from Chicago, and the famous stockyards ive dwindled in size. Most trading in agricul-ral commodities is now done on paper at the bicago Board of Trade and the Mercantile Ex-ange. importer wholesale luggage and retail trade is still an iportant part of Chicago's economic life, how-er, employing 22% of those working in the city, arshall Field, Carson Pirie Scott, Sears Roe-ick, and Montgomery Ward are still durable .mes in retailing.
