asked to participate. AS an earnest effort
of our intentions we have decided to defray
all the expenses this year, as far as is III
cumbent on the sponsors of such an affair.
We do not make any appeal for prizes.
We do not solicit any entrance fee, have
no badges to sell, no programs to advertise
In, nor tickets to dispose of.
I'VE are simply starting this movement
for the glory OF Newark and ask all good
citizens to join us in our attempt to make
this parade an unqualified success.
Enclosed you will find a bulletin which
will acquaint you with our plans, as far as
formulated, and additional information VIII
be published from time to time in the daily
papers. Trusting that we may have your
assistance as a body, and assuring you
that any committee you may apb1int wiz
be kept fully posted, we are, respectfully
