Theodore L. SChurmeier as
Chief of the Twin City and
Northwestern Merchants
Association Is Head of
an Energetic Body That
Holds the Trade of the
Northwest for the Twins.

The commercial supremacy Of the
Twin Cities is recognized even by their
keenest competitors. In spite Of all In
vasion through the Union Pacific road
which offers inducements calculated to
draw trade to ST. Joseph, Kansas City
and Omaha, st. Paul and Minneapolis
have held the fort and control the trade
from here to the Pacific coast.
This condition has in no small meas
ure been made possible by the Twin
City and Northwestern Merchants as
ISOLATION. The organization Is the
combined action of the two cities work.
ing together to bring in the trade OF
the Northwest. 1t is absolutely Twin
City movement and the houses with
which the visiting merchants do bust
ness is matter left entirely to their
personal choice. Both cities work as
unit In fact, the association has done
more toward centraliZing the efforts
Of the two cities than any movement
ever made in the Northwest. There
is no battle between st. Paul and Min
neapolis, both are equally interested
in maintaining and extending outside
trade against all competitors.
Through the influence that the as
ISOLATION has with the railroads, mer-
chants in surrounding territory have
benefited by the reduced round-tr1p
rates which have been secured. The
railroads have responded freely and
willingly and in this way assisted ma
terially in the development Of the
jobbing trade of the two cities. Ex-
cursions have been inaugurated each
spring and fall and the dates arranged
to suit the convenience both Of the job
Der and of the retailer.
The membership Of the Twin City
and Northwestern Merchants assoc1a-
ton consists Of wholesalers from both
cities The most conspicuous figure In
the movement, however, is Theodore L..
Schurmeier, the well known member
of the wholesale dry goods firm Of Lin
deke, Warner & Schurmeier Of this
city. The business has heen established
some twenty-five years, Mr.. Schur-
meier being widely known throughout
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-22

the Northwest as managing partner. 1t
is largely through the untiring efforts
Of this gentleman that the Twin City
association has accomplished the work
for which it was organized. In recog-
milton of his valuable services Mr..
Schurmeier was this year elected pres
ident.
The fact that under his leadership
the movement has met with greater
success than under any previous ad-
ministration is a notable tribute to his
enterprise and energy.
Mr. Schurmeier has been the active
man in bringing about the excursions
whereby QUITO town merchants have
been offered every facility to visit the
Twin Cities. He it Is who has been
chiefly instrumental in securing the re-
duced rates. In a word, his personal In
fuence has permeated the entire move
ment and been of incalculable value not
only in letting outsiders understand the
benefit that would accrue to them by
nvailing of the opportunity offered by
these spring and fall trips, but in ce-
menting good will as between the two
cities themselves.
Not only in business, but in social cir
cles is MI. Schumacher conspicuous. He
is a member Of the Minnesota Town and
Country and other clubs and enjoys the
respect and confidence of every citizen of
the two cities with which he has so long
been closely identified +. p
The officers of the Twin City and
Northwestern Merchants association are
representative men from both st. Paul
and Minneapolis, Mr. Schurmeier as pres
ident and Sherman Finch as secretary,
being of st. Paul, and w. w. Heffelfnger,
vice president; L. B. Newell, treasurer,
and Frank H. Forbes, assistant secretary,

Mr.. Murrell, First Assistant,
Looks Over the Grounds.
GREAT MILITARY PAGEANT
More Soldiers Than in Mississippi Val
EIey Since War-Mr. Cleveland Prin-
q: cpal Speaker and President
h Rooseveltt ito Attend.

Mr.. george e. Nurel has returned
from st. Louis where he went to look
over the situation relative to the exhibit
Virginia will make.
Mr. Murrell. who is the first assistant
Of the Virginia Commissions for the EN-
position, and whose duties Will be I'M
portant, was very much impressed with
the enornity OF the scale on which the
show will be conducted. A number Of
the larger buildings are now we'll under
way and the roofs are being put on not
a few. The grounds are about eight miles
from tho city and are reached by rhil
and two electric car lines. Before The
Exposition will open many more electric
lines will be built for the transporta-
ton OF the hundreds OF thousands who
will so to the grounds.
WILL GET HER PLACE.
Mr.. Murrell is convinced that Virginia
will get fair chance to display her
resources and he found that the Expo
sitlon authorities were disposed to give
the Il old State good positions. 4 fine
5loca ton has been assigned Virginia on
which to erect a State building. But the
Impression that the Exposition authorl-
ties will have this done Is q mistaken
ono. Mr.. Murrell says that tho only way
this can be done Is by popular sub
scriptions in the State, aided by the pa
triotic persons in Missouri. who (they or
their ancestors) came from Virginia.
The number Of self-expatirated Viz
ginians in Missouri Is large and their de-
votion to thei mother State is great.
The plat set apart for the Exposition
Is enormous and is very beautiful. But
when Mr.. Murrell saw 1t few days
go 1t was very muddy. A great deal Is
vet to be done. and there Is year IN
which it is to be done. Mr.. SMurrell saw
n number of tho heads OF departments OF
5the ExpositIon, but did not see Mr.,
Francis. the president who IS now IN
Enrone. and utSrecently had m encour-
aging interview with king Edward
Great Pageant Soon.
The dedication OF the Exposition
grounds will take place April Soth. which
will DO the greatest military pageant ever
seen In the valley OF the Mississippi In
times of peace. President Roosevelt Is
"a attend and Former President Cleye-
land is to make the chief address. II
would not be surprising II Commissioners
koiner Bowman and Patton set their
first view OF the Exposition grounds.
Mr.. .Murrell may possibly return also al
that time. FOR the present, Mr.. Muir.
rel will retain his headquarters here. hu,
later on he will probably have an Of
flee In Lynohburg. which is more cen
trally located for the whole State.
