Michixnn Avenue.


This club has the endorsement and ap-
prevail Of Gov. j.. Il. Richards. tho
board of Worlds fair managers for Mon
tnna and many other leading and reput.
able citizens.
The citizens of the state Of Montana are
aware of the fact that its progress and de-
velopment for the past fifteen years has
been second to NJ state in the union. Ow-
ing to the fact that We have never had a
commissioner OF immigration, n that no
| concerted action has been made to adver-
tisa the advantages and resources OF this
locality to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens of the old world. but compata-
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately impressed with
our Importance.
1t is now thought advisable to make a
united effort to call the attention of capital
to the advantages to be derived from in
vestments in Montana properties.
Many Of the states of the union have
erected, within the confines of jackson
quarters for their citizens. Most Of these
buildings are small in size. and under favor
able circumstance would attract but little
attention, and when placed in tho imme-
diate neighborhood of those magnificent
architectural piles which 60 to make up the
buildings of the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton. and which are the wonder and admira-
tion of all who have seen them. they will
pass unnoticed.
1t ia probably understood by all that each
Of these state buildings is within the grounds
of the Worlds Columbian exposition, and
that admission to them is to be obtained
only after payment of the regular entrance
fee.
1t is the design of the Montana State
Headquarters club to provide q con-
venient location whore may be made
a suitable display of the minerals
and other resources of our state. n from
which may be distributed advertising mat
tor calculated to awaken interest in our
various business enterprises, which adver-
Using matter, by a rule of the local board
of the Worlds Columbian exposition. can
not be distributed within the grounds. and
to provide the members of this club with
many needed conyeniences for themselves
and their friends.

icent residence. 33l Michigan venue past
