The convention that is to be held in
this city this fall is the second annual
convention of the implement dealers and
hardware men Of southern Kansas and
Oklahoma. The prospects are that the
meeting viii far exceed that of last year
in point of attendance and enthusiasm. as
the association is thoroughly organized
now and they know just what they have
to accomplish. This has been a splendid
year for all classes of machinery and
heavy hardware and the outlook for A
continuance of the trade was never bet
ter than at the present time. All lines
are being extended and on every hand
comes orders that are hard to handle |
with the present arrangements. Every /
thing has, however, =s,9n kept with the /
home people. The present showing Of |
the wheat crop is very encourag ing to /
the harvester people and it is the same 4
way with every other line. The opening /
of the new lands in Oklahoma and the /
consequent influx of people and their /
needs for ell kinds of machinery is a |
factor that must be reckoned with, along /
with the general progress of the grow /
ing country.
Mr.. Blaine of Pratt. the chairman of
the program committee, is very enthusi-
astic over the prospects of the conven-
ton. and says there will be a large crowd
in attendance.
