neshborly welcome ready for us. While
this Is called trade excursion, it is more
OF a social call, IN order to become better
acquainted with the merchants and busi-
ness men OF our own state. 1t IS unusual
for us to have a fan Trip. but we could not
and did not care to resist the persuasion
that our customers have showered on us
