BENEFIT OF THE CITY

Two visitors at the headquarters of the
citizens executive committee on the 1902
| encampment of the G. A. r. called atten-
ton this morning to phase of the Octo-
Der reunion which has been very little
emphasized in the circulars published by
Chairman Warner and his associates.
These visitors came from middle Ohio, and
informed Secretary Bulkley that all the
posts of that vicinity planned to spend at
least three four extra days in Wash
ington ''in order that our wives and daugh-
ters can do their fall shopping" Accord
ingly, when quarters were engaged for the
deputations these gentlemen represent, the
contracts covered eight full days, thus al
lowing half week for the inspection and
patronage of Washington stores.
This aspect of the encampment has not
slipped the attention of the Business Mems
Association, however. In the judgment Of
the merchants who are enrolled the
roster of that body, October is the most
desirable month in the year for the enter
tainment of visitors from small towns and
rural districts. 1t is the period, they say,
when two-thirds of all the shopping is done
for the fail and winter. Accordingly, Chair
man William Hahn of the Business Men s
Association special committee out-of-
town trade, has planned that his commit
tee shall obtain the cooperation of all the
leading merchants of the city and prepare
especially for the extra trade which the
enCampment will bring.
