~ larger acquaintance
among hotel men and
merchants than any other class
Their good will and enthusiasm means
to the Fiesta a great deal more than
can be accomplished through any other
agency. Their business calls them in ev-
cry direction on the Pacific Coast, and
they are able to advertise the Fiesta more
extensively and more thoroughly than
can be accomplished by any other means.
The support of the travelling men, and
the neat little speeches they will make to
their customers in behalf Of La Fiesta,
will induce thousands of tourists to visit
Los Angeles and view the festive scenes.
No news travels so quickly and so prac-
toally as by the mouths of the ''men OF
theroad. They meet peop,e and 'get
their ears" when other means fail and
when commercial traveller becomes en-
thusiastic, that enthusiasm knows no
bounds,
He will forget all about his samples and
will commence to talk to his customers
about La Fiesta and the grand scenes that
will be presented, before he asks for an
order
La Fiesta secured an advertising me-
dunn last evening that can not be repre-
sented in figures. The cooperation of
the commercial men is an addition to the
Fiesta forces that will make itself felt in
every city, town or hamlet in this state,
Arizona and New Mexico.
1t will be remem bered that last wear
they participated in the parade in an i'm
promptu manner. They drove in hand
some tally-hos, followed by large trucks,
loaded with their varied and extensive
baggage.
This year they will have one or two
floats, and will personally appear in line
in unique manner, that will create the
greatest enthusiasm and admiration from
the throngs that will witness the ceebra-
tion.
And when it is known that over 500
members belong to the association, the
Imagination may wander far before real
izng the appearance they will make dur
ing the carnival.
The members met last evening at the
rooms of the Jonathan Club. They were
called to order by William J. Barrett. In
neat little speech he called the attention
of his colleagues to the courtesies that are
daily extended to them by the merchants
and residents Of this city, and he stated
that it was due to the latter to show their
appreciation. He said that the travelling
men owe it as a duty to this commun-
ity to do all in their power to make La
Fiesta a success, and show by their par
ticipation in the event, their sense OF
gratitude. He thanked the Jonathan
Club for favors received and called on
President Chamberlain for few remarks.
Col. Chamberlain made one of his
Characteristic speeches, full of enthusiasm
and advice. He appreciated the efforts on
behalf of the travelling men to aid La
Fiesta and said that if they wonld work
as hard for the carnival as they are ac-
customed to do in all other matters, the
celebration would be a decided success.
