MONTANASTATE HEADQUARTERS.

-
For Visitors to the Worlds Fair--331
Michigan Avenue. !
This club has the Endorsement and ap-
prevail of Gov. j. E.. Richards, the
board of Worlds fair managers for Mon
tana 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 no state in the union. Ow-
ing to the fact that we have never had a
commissioner of immigration, and that no
concerted action has been made to adver-
tise the advantages end resources OF this
ocality to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens of the old void. but compata-
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately inn ressed with
our lIE portance.
1t is now thought advisable to make n
united effort to call the attention of capital
to the advantages TO be derived from in
vestments in Montana properties.
Manv of the states of the union have
erected, within the confines of jackson
park, Chicago, a state building as head
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 the imme-
diata neighborhood of those magnificent
architectural piles which 40 to make up the
buildings of tho Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton. and which nre the wonde and admira-
ton of all who have seen them, thew will
pass unnoticed.
1t is probably understood by all that each
OF these state buildings is within the grounds
OF the Worlds exposition, and
that admission to them Is to be obtained
only after ayment of the regular entrance
fee.
1t is the design of the Montana State
Headquarters club to provide a con
venlrnt location where may be made
a suitable diaplay of the minerals
and other resources of our state, and from
which may be distributed advertising mat
ter calculated to awaken interest IN cur
various business enterprises, which adver-
tising matter, by q 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 ~couyeniences for themselves
and their friends.
The projectors have secured the maQni-
fcent residence, 33l Michigan avenue, paa,
the windows of which all PROFESSIONS, mill
tary and civic, must march, and which is
convenient and easily accessible from the
Worlds Columbian exposition and from
