The stand men have made money,
but there is reason for Il. Never
before In the history of the big re.
unions has there been such crowds
for stand men to do business with.

comforts provided have been ap-
preciated; they know that the visit
ors have warm spots In their
hearts for them. Further than
this, they know that the people
know how they have been hamper
ed.
People have come from farther
than ever before to attend this re.
union. Everybody who came, who
had never been here before, was

the big Baxter reunions, but they
hadn't any proper idea of just how
big the reunions here actually
were. They know now and they'll
be back next year. We have talked

have all said they enjoyed them
selves. We have hunted for kickers

a huge success. Let Il 60 at that.
