Business Agents would save time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. 1t costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to us without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
100 sheets of note paper, padded,
with name and number of your ALI
ance and name of Business Agent or

resented on such committee and SO Mr.. Theo-
dore W. Moves, the acting editor of The STAR,
was placed on the committee. In the columns
of The STAR and elsewhere Mr.. Noyes always
advocates every movement to advance the in
terests Of the capital city.
The Finance Committee.
The important question of money has been
ably handled by Mr. r. o. Hoffman, the
chairman of the committee Of finance. Mr.
Hoffman was connected with the finance COM
mittee eight years ago and in conjunction with
the chairman, Mr.. L. z. Letter, obtained the
funds. His experience has, therefore, been Of
value, and he has had the cooperation Of the
members Of the committee in gathering in the
money. There has, perhaps, never be-
fore been raised such q large amount of money
in such short time by popular subscription as
has been the case with this committee.
The plan adopted by Chairman Hoffman was
to give books to each member OF the large and
influential committee Of which he is chairman,
and they canvassed the city so efficiently that
the money needed was raised in an incredibly
short time.
