Mitchell Brothers. Grocers. SIT plymouth
Avenue-The move seems to be 4 popular
one, and If the people want thes music they
should certainly have it. We heartily 81
favor of it, but want to get our share of the
music when the distribution of the bands Is
made
c. F. stremmel. Hardware, 1915 Washing
ton Avenue N-Music as a feature in our
parks is a first-class idea, but somewhat
expensive Parks as they now are are prac-
tically useless, and I am in favor OF any
thing which will tend to popularize them.
1t is novelty to see band up this way
except on days Of celebration, and am sure
some good band music would be most ia
vorably received. think though, that the
people near the parks ought not to be dis
commoded by late stayers and that STRICT
order be kept E3
Riverside Patrons Approve.
Riverside. in South Minneapolis, along
the river, Is a beautiful spot and there 4
the plan meets with unqualified approval.
