Subject: St. Paul Minnesota

Recently one of your readers asked, "Are there pipe clubs in Minnesota?"
 As all subscribers to the Agricultural & Mechanical Gazette know ( this
is a shameless plug for my publication) The Grumblers Club meets each
saturday morning at the J.R. Fielding Tobacconist -- located on
Lexington Ave in St. Paul.  This is one of the better pipe shops -- they
do have cigars too, but who cares -- in Minnesota.  The Grumblers Club
is a pipe smoking club, of very irregular fellows, who sit around the
round table at the front of the shop and review Minnesota and national
problems.  As you may recognize, actually solving all or even some of
Minnesota's problems is probably beyond the capability of any group of
humans.
    Anyway, lot of interesting folks there including politicians,
airline pilots, 3M employees, university folks, police, retired guys,
and just about any other career field you might want to find.  And the
only requirement is that you have a pipe, cigar and an opinion.
    See what people miss by not subscribing to the most entertaining
literary publication in the Great North Woods?  Not to mention our Pipe
Fiction -- not to be confused with Pulp Fiction -- or Science Fiction
Thanks.
