and West Superior have issued in
vitations to the business men oil
the upper peninsula to attend a
grand excursion to the above named
cities. which will occur tomorrow.
All those who have accepted the
invitation will receive free trans
portation for the round trip, and
will be royalty entertained while in
Duluth and Superior.
A number of invited guests from
this city and Baraga will take in
the delightful trip.
W. Buchanan, secretary of the
Duluth JobberS union, gives the
following outline of the excursion:
"A special running through to
West Superior will leave Calumet at
S O'Clock Sunday morning, leave
Houghtou about an hour later and
connect at Nestoria with the regular
train leaving Marquette at $40 IA. IN.
Luach will be served on the train,
which will arrive at West Superior
in time for dinner, about 6;3O p. m,
The eXcursiouiSts will be entertained
and will remain in Superior Monday,
taking dinner in Duluth Monday
evening. Afterward they will be
entertained at the Kitchi Gammi
club. On Tuesday a drive will be
taken around the boulevards and
principal points of interest in
Duluth.
The wholesalers at the head of
the lake are hoping for the oppor-
tunity to entertain a large number
of the representative merchants
from the near end of the peninsula
as far east as Marquette, and from
the number who have expressed the
intention of accepting the invitation
it is likely they Will have a big
party. The trip may result to mu-
tual benefit of both jobbers and re-
tailers, as it will give tie merchants
an opportunity to see the cities in
whose interest the excursion has
been arranged, to see their whole
sale establishments, which would be
"a credit to much larger places, and
TO meet and make the acquaintance
of the jobbers there.
This trip is in sense compile
ment of the trip which the jobbers
themselves took a few weeks ago,
when at the courtesy of the South
Shore railroad they were brought
down through the copper and iron
countries and shown the possibili-
ties for profitable trade these sec
tions of the state afforded them.
Without exception the men who
took advantage OF that excursion eX-
pressed themselves pleased with the
condition of the country and voiced
the opinion that there was an OPP
portunity TO build up a larger trade
along Lake Superior than they now
enjoyed, and one which would be
mutually advantageous to all con-
cerned
There was some talk of arrang-
ing the excursion at an earlier date,
but it was postponed till the broad
guage could be put through to Calu-
met, making it more convenient for
the merchants in the copper coun-
try to come along with those from
other sections of the peninsula
Free transportation and enter
tainment during the two days stay
at the head of the lake is offered to
those who attend, and the jobbers
there, who are naturally interested
in giving the visitors a good impress
sion of their cities, VIII leave nc
stone unturned to make their stay a
pleasant one and to give them q
thorough insight into the business
| life of their communities.
''1he transportation for the re-
turn trip will be good till Thursday
evening.
