It's customary and right, when an
object sought has been reached, when
q task to be done has been accom-
plished, to rev ard in words Of modest
praise those whose efforts were. promi-
nent in working the end desired.
The recent meeting of the state drug
gists in New ;Ulm was pleasant. It
was profitable. It was a living en-
dorsement for the order and for the
city acting the part of host. Because
of these facts, the old principal Of
"Honor to whom honor is due" should
be resorted to in justice to all concern
ed and for the stimulus it may give
our city and our press in encouraging
like members.
Let US begin our good words by ad-
dressing those at home. ~
We druggists were proud of New
Ulm. We of this city were exceeding
ly proud. The visitors were delighted
and the many assurances that the fair
name of New Ulm will be recorded
among the best entertaining munich
palities of the Northwest that were
given to the business men of this city,
makes us feel as though our efforts
were to be literally rewarded.
In providing a hearty welcome, our
city is to be congratulated. AS a
whole it entered heart and soul into
the occasion. The citizens generously
looked after the welfare of our guests,
providing suitable quarters for them
to dine and sleepwhile within the city's
gates.
The Commercial Union, the physi-
clans and the business men of our city
demonstrated their line interest in the
city's welfare by doing everything that
could be asked toward making the
visiting druggists comfortable and in
affording ample entertainment. 1t is
the type of a metropolis to see a city's
merchants acting as one in promoting
the welfare of their home town. In
Minneapolis, St. Paul Or the other
large cities of the country we could
we'll look for the banding together of
the business men toward extending
welcome to visiting conventions. It
is to the betterment of every large city
that this form is adopted. But in most
instances it is form. The metropoli-
tan merchants set aside a certain sum
each year. To them it is advertising,
bringing great amount of profit to
their city and a proportional amount
to them, as merchants of representa-
tive type. In a smaller town the spirit
is frequently lacking. It is the habit
of cities the size of New Ulm to adopt
all the commercial means necessary
for personal profit and to show de-
cided apathy when it comes to really
exerting personal effort to the comfort
and well-being of the visitors. That
New Ulm has shown itself an exception
is in strong evidence. AS druggists,
we thank our fellow business men; as
former President of the Minnesota
State Pharmaceutical Association !
thank the citizens and merchants OF
our city for their whole-heartednes in
making our meeting memorable as one
of the most pleasant ever held.
The reception committee is also de-
serving of special thanks in that upon
this body rested the initial bow Of New
Ulmto our visitors. The Turnverein,
in rendering their extensive evenings
programme excited the admiration OF
our visitors and were roundly compli-
mented on all sides for their willing
ness and their ability to entertain
Nowhere was the spirit Of the city
more in prominence than in the man
ner of it's entertainment. Hospitality
does not consist merely in bidding
welcome. That is, there is more to
