Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1908-08-12

The Tribune is planning a special
tour to the Minnesota State Fair
and Twin Cities this year, to leave
Wilmar Thursday, Sept. 3. in the
afternoon and returning the fol-
lowing Saturday. The excursion
will be personally conducted and
chaperoned and all details in regard
to accommodations will be arranged
before the train leaves Wilmar.
AS now planned. fifty persons will
be taken care of, and it is a case of
first come, first served.'
The advantage of an excursion is
that the participant has absolutely
nothing to worry about in regard
to accommodations and transporta
ton; has good, jolly company with
people from home and will be able
to see more enjoyable features dur
ing the time than would be possible
were he or she struggling about
alone. 1t is possible to get better
accommodations for a party than
for single individuals. Where the
itinerary includes a long trip by
street car a chartered car will be
Used, thus obviating the jostle and
jam incident to the State Fair
crowds. Will you be one with US?
