Commercial Interests of Denver Want
Northwest Trade.

The commercial interests of Denver
are beginning to look towards the
northwest. The chamber of commerce
of that city is planning a tour of the
north and northwest in the near fu-
ture, and will take in Billings. Ever
since the opening of the Burlington's
Alliance-D Denver line Denver CONNER
cial travellers have been visiting Bill
ings, making a bid for a share of the
trade that goes to St. Paul, Omaha
and Chicago.
Chamber of Commerce, recently said
in an interviews: Denver as a whole
sale distributing point is not seriously
considered by the merchants OF this
section. The business men out over
the state have gotten the idea that
Denver takes no interest in them, and
Denver business men have by their
apathy lent color to this belief. Mer-
chants over the state have been &C.
customed to do their purchasing in the
east, and they have been allowed to do
SO without any organized effort to get
them to trade with Denver.
"Denver Wholesalers and manufact-
urers do not advertise at all. They
send out travelling statesmen, who do
some business, but no real effort has
been made to secure the trade that is
going to Omaha, Chicago, St. Louis
and cities even further east.
"Our proposed excursion of whole
sale men is meant to remedy this to
some extent. Our plans have not
taken definite. shape, and I cannot tell
how many nor who will 60, nor the
date. But as soon as the weather is
warmer we propose to make a tour of
the northwest section, perhaps as far
as Rawlins, Wyoming. We will be no
burden on the merchants of the towns
we visit; we will get acquainted with
them, show them that we are anxious
for closer business relations with
them, and entertain them at our ex-
pense." -
