BIG BOOSTFEST
IS ANNOUNCED.
GREAT GATHERING OF THE CON-
MERclAL ASSOCIATION FOR
CLOSE OF CAMPAIGN.
TUESDAY AT ARMoRY
Meeting to Be the Greatest Ever Held
and Program of Special Inter-
est Has Been Arranged
Cards Are Out.

Now that temporary lull has set in
among the boosters for the CONNER
cial association until after Christmas,
the apparent inactivity of this enter
prlsfng body Is merely what shows On
the surface. The committees have
ceased for the time being to solicit
more new members, but the commit
tee members are far from being in
active. On the contrary the biggest
meeting event that the association has
ever pulled off is in the process of
making and a banner attendance for
such gatherings is assured. The event
that will mark the close of the 500
new membership campaign, is to be an
open meeting at the Armory Tuesday
evening in which only good fellowship
will have part. No solicitation OF
funds whatever and nothing of bust
ness aside from the good and welfare
Of the association, which means OF
tunwa, will be advanced by
many present in three minute
speeches. Music by an orchestra,
prayer by one of the local clergymen,
oysters, sandwiches, coffee and cigars,
all Of the above mixed and intermln-
gled with social conversation and a
get-acquainted spirit promises to make
the meeting an epoch in the history of
Greater Ottumwa.
A Clever Scheme.
In leading up to this the members of
the various boost committees have
worked zealously and unselfishly with
, out regard to time, that the campaign
might be success, also that the close
Eof the campaign be made an occasion
| for all OF the members Of the associa-
ton both young and old, to become
acquainted and the work of Ottumwa's
commercial growth begun under most
| flattering conditions. The date of this
meeting has been held in allegiance for
number of days past in order that a
scheme of post card notifications for
all OF the members might have it's
proper effect. The cards each con-
tanned the following injunction to the
| waste basket before reading the other
side" The following Is the text of the
three cards, and the manner In which
they lead up to others shows the in
genuity of their conception:
This is card number one,
Work well begun
is over nalf done.
Everyone is talking, it is in the air
1t Is talked of everywhere.
1--WE send you this card
And bet you can't guess who;
Nevertheless 1t is card number two
She will certainly be 'sizzer.'
Are you was'er or an is'er?
Watch for card number three
And then you will see.
And now you see
This is card number three;
We leave is to you
If they don't all three agree.
THAT the Comemrcial association Is
going to have the greatest meeting Of
it's existance to Boost Ottumwa, Tues
day evening, December, 8, 1909, SOC
sharp.
"The growth of any city means the
individual gain of it's citizens"
Get In the Band Wagon or get out
Of the way of it"
The above with numerous needs Of
Ottumwa which the association plans
to secure with its enlarged member
ship, completes the description OF
card number three.
