nent Of the facts concerning the resources
and condition of this county.
Secondly inducing the cooperation
Of every section of the county through
local organizat ton.
Third. BY assisting the prospective
immigrant upon his arrival to thorough
understanding Of our resources.
Fourth.-By providing the state board
Of immigration with all advertising mat.
ter that may emenate from this society
that it should be the duty of this society
to have as display in the agents office
at Chicago full and complete display o.
all the available resources Of the county.
That until state aid can be secured at
the next session of the legislature, that
this association lend it's support in up.
holding the said Office at Chicago.
