Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1897-10-28

1t makes the merchants sad to think
how much Belding money will probably
be expended with Grand Rapids mer-
chants this week. 1t cannot be pre-
vented but our business men might

Grand Rapids carnival in elaborate
ness but we have in times past proved
our ability to attract and entertain
large crowds. Past efforts have been
all right but we want to make them
oftener.
