To start with, the action Of the

of them, were promptly paid. In a

THE VISIT OF The: BANKERS.

We are glad to see the bankers il
Billings. And what makes 1t more
delightful. they all, say they are glad
they came. Billings is a real live wire,
as the visiting fnanciers have doubt
less discovered. There are no dead
ones here. The town is moving for
ward, from the 10000 to the 25 5000
mark. And when we say moving, we
DO not mean by easy stages. Not by
q long shot. We are on a through
train, and the only stop scheduled is
at the 25,000 mile post-and then only
for breath. We will keep right on.
All Of this the bankers, have doubt
less discovered by this time, for 1t Is
in the air. 85
We are glad the men who handle
the money and the credits Of Montana
are here, that they may understand
from a personal visit just what 0
ress the community Is making, the
manifold resources Of the town and
the development that has only lust
began.
The visit Of the bankers to this
place is timely. They come at a mo-
ment when Billings Is entering upon
a career that Is certain to attract the
attention Of the entire northwest.
The intimate knowledge they win
gain Of the city, its people and sur
roundfngs, will be an advantage that
could be obtained in no other way
than by q personal visit.
