Stockholm seen as summer conference city and harbor of beauty
A Washington bulletin highlights Stockholm as an ideal summer conference city noting a winding fjord approach. It describes the city built on islands with bridges, a royal palace, prominent churches, and a modern infrastructure including many telephones and a thriving industrial sector near the Baltic coast. It contrasts the open royal palace with Buckingham style tradition and mentions notable landmarks like the Norrbro bridge and the Widdarsholmskyrka. The piece also profiles shrimp specialist Mrs. E. C. Wilson, detailing Alaska shrimp fishing, cannery processing, and markets reaching the southern and eastern states.
