Page:20th annual meet- League of American Wheelmen, Aug. 14th to 19th '99, Boston, Massachusetts.djvu/9



The Hub of the Universe has the honor of extending its hospitality to the League of American Wheelmen during their 20th Annual Meet, and with it begs to offer this book as a useful guide during the Meet and a souvenir of the occasion thereafter.

It has been our mission to prepare the book for our League friends, and we present it to you with the feeling that all the information a visitor may desire in connection with the Meet, or Boston, will be found within its covers: and we believe that if the programme and suggestions therein are "followed closely" that no stranger within our gates will lack for entertainment while sojourning in our midst, from August 14th to 19th.

The book contains an article about Boston and its environs, profusely illustrated with beautiful illustrations of points of interest in the city, general information about the Meet, including the programme and runs, and group illustrations of the committees; also a few announcements of "our friends" engaged in various enterprises, to whom we feel indebted for their liberal patronage, and, in return, ask

The photographs for the illustrations in this book were especially taken by Elmer Chickering, 21 West street. The half-tone illustrations were executed by the Boston Engraving Co., 113 Purchase street. The paper was furnished by Carter, Rice & Co., 246 Devonshire street, and the book was printed by The Wheelman Co., 46 Stanhope street, and for the warm personal interest they have shown in the work, this expression of appreciation of their efforts is especially due.
