the first six months of 1922 they reached one hundred and seven thousand
dollars. As president of this company Mr. Holm gives every department his
personal supervision. During his business career he has shown a power of
initiative and a resourcefulness ' which, combined with a capability for
management, have built up one of the important industries of Minneapolis.
