A JOLLY CROWD.
The h. c. Commercial Club Here
Last Thursday.
Good Takers and Pleasant Gentlemen

The Kansas City Commercial Club
made Medicine Lodge the promised
visit last Thursday and our business.
men extended a hearty welcome, but
the entertaining was mostly done by the
visitors. They arrived at l:35 and stay
ed SO minutes. Every branch of busi-
ness was represented and they make it
point to come into personal contact
wherever they go, with the retail men
anu the prominent citizens. The tour
is one combining business and pleasure
and they get large amount of each.
There were about ninety members of
the club on this trip. They carry nine
elegantly furnished cars with refresh
nents, orchestra, reception rooms, and
everything that helps to make life
pleasant and easy.
The men are cordial, whole souled
fellows. They are mixers and 1T doesn't
require much timeto get acquainted
This is one method by which this large
organization has of extending trade
and while on the surface it appears to
be an expensive luxury, experience
teaches them that it is a most profit
able way of advertising.
