Letters were mailed yesterday to a
1 large number of Fargo business men
inviting them to preliminary confer
ence to take place at the Y. NJ. G. A.
| Thursday evening, Nov. II, but every
one, whether receiving letter or not,
| is cordially invited to be present. The
| letter follows:
Dear Sir: 1t has been thought adj
yisable to form an association in Far
go Of persons interested in advertising
and business building.
! The primary purpose Of an advertis-
ing club is that it's members get to-
| gether at stated times to discuss adj
vertising in it's various forms-to ex-
change ideas on the subject--to hear
what the "other fellow has to say.
Such a club will afford an excellent
| opportunity for it's members to broad
en- their knowledge of advertising-the
| greatest means OF business building.
! Advertising is a broad subject. 1t hits
every mans business somewhere. Its
| legitimate methods are unlimited and
there is always something new to
| learn.
Your cooperation is wanted now.
| We want you to be present at an in
| formal meeting Thursday evening,
Nov. IL, at s O'clock in the Y. M. c. A,
when the ACCESSIBILITY of organizing
will be discussed for and against.
Every important city has it's advertis-
| ing club-Why not Fargo?

date on your desk calendar-and then
come. Let's "dig down deep" and, If
there's anything to 1T, form this club
at once. Yours very truly,

Unfortunately the informal commit
! tee has a very limited acquaintance,
and very likely some interested persons
did not receive the above letter, but IL
is hoped that every interested reader
of this announcement, whether or not
he received a special invitation from
the committee, will come and help
make. this first meeting a success by
expressing his views for or against the
organization Of an advertising club in
the city.
Fargo has very few men whose time
is devoted to advertising, to the ex-
clusion of all other matters but nearly
every concern has someone who has
charge of whatever advertising is done.
Such men are asked to come.
Every business man in Fargo is on
an equal footing In the promotion of
this organization. There is no formal
organization as yet. and those whose
names appear in the above letter will
not necessarily have anything more to
do with the proposed club than anyone
whose name does not appear or who
has not been sent a copy.
This letter is here personally ad-
dressed to every business man i'm Fargo
who believes that he can further his
commercial interests through some
method of advertising and by meeting
occasionally to exchange ideas with
other men sharing the same belief.
Advertising organizations of other
cities have been communicated with,
and comprehensive explanation of
the why's and wherefores OF these will
be given at the meeting The advisable
ity of organizing will be discussed with
a knowledge Of what similar associa-
tions are doing, and of just what can
be done by us in Fargo.
The Y. M. G. A. has been kind enough
to permit the use of one of their rooms
