Michigan Avenue.
This club has the endorsement and ap-
prova! OF Gov. j.. E. Richards, the
board of Worlds fair managers for Mon
tana and many othe: 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 ndver-
tise the advantages end resources OF this
ocRlity to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens of the old world. but compa' a.
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately iml ressed with
cur im portance.
1t is now thought advisable to make Il
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 tho 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 circumstances would attract but little
attention, and when placed in the imme-
diate neiRhborhood of those magnificent
architectural piles which 90 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 is 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 DO obtained
only after Aymant OF the regular entrance
fee.
1t is the design of the Montana State
Headquarters club to provide a cor
veni2nt location whore may be made
e suitable display of the minerals
and other resources of our state. and from
which may be distributed advertising mat
ter calculated to awaken interest in our
various business enterprises, which adver-
tising 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 conveniences for Themselves
and their friends.

ficent residence. 33l Michigan avenue. past
