For Visitors to the Worlds Fair-331
Michigan Avenue.
This club has the endorsements and ap-
proval of Gov. j. E. Richards. the
board of Worlds fair managers for Mon
a 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
commissions 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 compa,a-
lively few outside of our own territorial
limitations are adequately impressed with
our Importance.
It is now thought advisable to make q
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 tho 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-
Olate HelRnDornooo OF tHOse maRnlncent
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 il to be obtained
only after payment of the regular entrance
fee.
It is the design of the Montana State
Headquarters club to provide a con-
y suitable display Of the minerals
and other resources of our state. and from
which may be distributed Advertising mat

various business enterprises. which adver-
