The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1893-03-24

This club has the endorsement and ap-
prevail OF Gov. j. L. Richards, the
board Of Worlds fair managers for Mon
tana and many other leading and reput
able citizens.
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 and resources Of this
ocality to the capitalists of the east or the
| citizens Of the old world. but compata-
lively few outside Of our OWL territorial
limitations arc 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 i'll
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 circumstances would attract but little
attention, and when placed in the imme-
diate neighborhood of those magnificent
architectural piles which go to mako 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 unnotlced.
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 be obtained
only after payment OF the regular entrance
fee.
It is the design of the Montana State
Headquartets club to provide a con
venient location where may be made
q 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-
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 his club with
many needed conveniences for themselves
and their friends.
The projectors have secured the maqni-
icent residence. 33l Michigan avenue. past
the windows OF which all PROFESSIONS, mill
tary and civic, must march, and which is
convenient md easily accessible from the
Worlds Columbian exposition and from
the business center. Certificate holders
will be entitled to ell these privileges and
advantages of the same, a few only Of
which we enumerate.
