MONTANA STATE HEADQUARTERS

For vlsltors to tho Worlds Fair-331
Michigan Avenue.
This club has the endorsement and ap.
prevail of Gov. j.. L. Richards, tn.
board Of Worlds fair managers for Mon.
tana and many other leading and reput
able citizens.
The citizens of the state of Montana nre
aware Of the fact that its progress md do
velopment for the past fifteen years hal
been second to no state in the union. Ow.
ing to tho fact that We have never had a
commissioner of immigration. and that nc
concerted action has been madc to adver-
tise the advantages n resources Of this
ocality to the capitalists of the east or the
citizens of the old world. but compa,a a.
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately impressed with
n Importance.
II 10 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
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-
dlate ~neiRhborhood of those magnificent
architectural piles which go to make up the
buildings of the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton. and which are the wonder and admira-
ton 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 ia to be obtained
only after pay ment of the regular entrance
fee.
1t is the design of the Montana State
Headquarters club to provide a con-
venient location where may be made
a 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.
The projectors have secured the maeni-
fcent residence, 331 Michigan avenue, past
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
the business center. Certificate holders
will be entitled to oil these privileges and
advantages of the same, a few only OF
which We enumerate.
Ihere will be provided a large reception
room. upon the ground floor, where the cit
liens of Montana ara expected to register.
giving their home and Chicago addresses.
All mail and kilograms may be addressed
to certificate holders in care of the club.
