For a little background on what the deal is with Edwin H. Lee, we turn to a supplement of the Nov. 1, 1913 issue of Skillings Mining and Market Letter.
Unfortunately, the article goes on and on saying the same basic thing over and over without giving any sense of just what type of thing Lee did to promote Duluth that was the stuff of such “genuis.” Apparently it boiled down to touting the virtues of Duluth in hotel publications. However he went about that, it is apparent he sold Duluth as “the most hospitable city in the United States.”
