Stay-at-Home Business Men
Enthusiastic Already.
OPENS UP A NEW VISTA
Value of Personal Representation in
the Towns Inestimable.
ALL C0NCEDE GREAT PUBLICITY
Personal Expressions of Opinion and
Appreciation From Some of the
Capitals Leading Business Men.

| There Is nothing but praise to be heard
| among the representative merchants OF the
| city about The Stars Exposition Flyer
Many of the firms that sent representatives
on the train have received orders, and In
some cases more than ten from some towns
This increase of business from the different
sections where heretofore the business has
been dormant as far as the local houses
We're concerned has caused the enthusiasm
of the local people, and when a Star repor-
ter called on members of the firms of the
different business houses he heard on all
sides that in the belief Of the men who
handle the business rife of the capital city
that The Star Greater Washington Special
was doing a great work. The opinion OF
many of the business men was to the effect
that the trip will be a fine one from the
missionary standpoint also. They say that
the fine trains trip through the southland
will go a long ways toward informing the
southern merchants that Washington is
awake to the opportunity the south is Of
fering.
They all declare that the special gives
them the proper Introduction to the bust
ness people of the cities through which it is
passing. They seem enthusiastic about the
possibilities for future trade, and are sure
that The Star special would be long remem-
bered by the business men of Washington
Others remarked that they would certainly
be members of a special that went out of
washington
seen enough of this one to know that the
results would be gratifying to the entire
business interests of the city.
Paramount Advantages.
The indirect advantages to be gained
seemed to be paramount in the minds of
many. They were of the opinion that when
the country merchants begin to talk of the
advantages Of buying in Washington the
interest that has been shown to them in
the special will have such an effect as to
cause them to come this way when they
begin to put in their various stocks for
the different seasons.
Mr.. R. p. Andrews of the Andrews PAPER
Company said yesterday:
Our expectations are being more than
realized from the Greater Washington
trains trip. We received this morning from
our representative, MIR. Macintosh, who
accompanies the train, an order from the
Niche Company of Charlottesville for one
solid car 100000 pounds No. l book paper
and quite bunch of other orders from
the same town. Our results so far on this
trip are even ahead Of the writer's expecta-
lions, which were large before the train
left. We also have a letter in this morn
ings mail from the Frank Printing House
of Warrenton, a portion of which letter
reads as follows:
Sorry that the Greater Washington
train passed us by. Looks as though Wash
ington does not want the trade of Warren
ton and Fauquier county. The town is
larger by far than either Manassas, Gull
pepper or Orange, and the county larger
and Weather than the counties through
