Now that the time Is about here
for new travelling men to make their
appearance in Iowa, all Marshalltown
travellers should get busy and locate as
many as possible. To the city 1T means
= great deal, for twenty travelling men
and their families are as good as
factory employing thirty men. Their
pay roll is larger Let US work nara
and try to bring as many as possible
this year. AS ! have said before, with
the Traveling Mems Commercial club
and the Merchants club. some ar
rangements ought to be made to show
the boys spending Sunday In our CITY,
the advantages v-e have to offer, by
taking them over the city. NO class OF
citizens will be benefited more IMAM
will the merchants, and at a very small
expense am safe in stating that no
city in Iowa can offer to the travellers
the inducement to locate that can the
city Of Marshalltown Show us an
other city which stands ready to bulid
houses for the boys, to be paid 1or at
81 little more than rental. There are
TODAY 400 travellers living in Marshall
town. Why not by IL o'clock noon OF
July 4, have the registry list 500? To
do this we must work together be able
to show every traveller the city. Inc
merchants and business men could
help us by notifying the committee
whenever a traveller Is in the city and
talks Of locating here. The committee
will then stand ready to do the rest.
