cOneu any business venture tndt Woutu
bring trade into Washington. He said that
his firm had not sent a representative on
I ne Star special train. but that they were
perfectly willing to do anything that will
hiring money into the city. He referred to
the fact that the business of the Cook &
Stoddard Company is purely local one,
but that the firm supported The Star idea
from the first because of the fact that
when Washington becomes a great jobbing
center that there will be many more per-
sons in the city who will be able to buy
automobiles.
Good News All Round
The Star man found Mr.. H. H. Butler of
the Washington Dairy Company in a happy
frame of mind. When asked in regard to
the news that he had received from The
Star special train, he said that all he had
was good news and plenty of it, Con-
tinuing, he said: Il have just received
letter from my partner Mr.. Thomas l. Dom
nelly, who is member of the party aboard
the special. In his letter he sends a
dozen good orders from one town. He says
In the letter that he is doing business at
every stop the train makes and that before
he arrives back in Washington the business
of the Washington Dairy Company will be
materially increased" Continuing, Mr.. But
Ter said: Mr.. Donnelly informs me that
The Star special has just given him the
opportunity that he has been waiting for
some time to take advantage of, that is of
journeying with a representative class of
business men to different towns of the
southland and have the opportunity OF
meeting the southern business men when
they come down to see the members of the
party at the train. In word, continued
Mr.. Butler, 1.-The opportunity makes us be-
lieve that the outlook is splendid and that
in the near future the business results will
be more than we have contemplated in the
beginning"
We think The Star special train is all
right said Mr.. Thomas E, Terrell, secre-
tary of the A. Loeffier Sausage and Pro-
vision Company, who do large part of the
meat and provision business of the capital
city.
While we have no representative on the
train,' he continued, "our name is there
and you can just bet we will be benefited
in the sections of the country through
which the train is passing. We believe
that the special train idea is a good one in
every sense of the word, and that Is one
of the reasons that we have supported the
idea. We also want to help alongside with
all movements that will go to increase the
business interests of Washington and we
know when we bring trade to the capital
we also bring people, and when people
come they eat sausage, with the result that
the A. Loef1er Sausage and Provision Com
pany will be coming in for its share of the
profit"
Mr.. Herrmann's Endorsement.
Mr.. A. G.. Hermann Of the Hermann
Bottling Works, located on 10th street in
the southeast section of the city, said that
he was of the opinion that The Star train
was a great idea. Why said Mr.. Herr
manu. IF 1 had not thought SO 1 would
never have put my money into the project
He continued, THE men who are at the
head of the project deserve much credit for
their work In bringing this train to De a
reality. They have procured something
that, In my estimation, will bring life and
energy to the business life of Washington.
There is a big field for Washington business
men to get into, and l can no reason
why the merchants of the city cannot get
into the field ard reap the harvests that
seem to me to be only awaiting the reaper"
Mr.. Hermann was also of the opinion that
within short time Washington would be
fully apprised of the great value that had
been rendered by the visits of the train to
the various parts Of the south that are
listed upon the schedule.
Mr.. F. NJ. Farrell, secretary of the n.
Auth Provision Company who have ex-
hibited on The Star special train. was of
the opinion that his firm had made step
in the right direction when theyNstarted on
the work of helping in the Greater Wash
ington idea.
He said: We want to do anything that
we to aid in the work of bringing
business to Washington. and, continued
Mr.. Farrell, the Auth Provision Company
can be depended upon to do its part in
the work of going after business Mr..
Farrell remarked that in the section of
the country traversed by The Star train
business had been awakened judging from
the fact that orders had been received,
which went to show that at the beginning
the good of being advertised by the special
was showing up and that bo-ore long 1t
was more than probable that much more
good would be shown to have come from
the efforts of those who thought of the
special train in the beginning.

Supply Company no word has been received
