CldllOu oI tHc OndlnDef OF OOln-
merce and Manufacturers Club
today announced the details of it's
big trade excursion which will
start from Buffalo Tuesday, April
Goth, for four-day boost
ing mission. A train of eight or
more Pullman cars, a party of 100
representative business men to %
cities and towns of Western New
York and Pennsylvania. A COM
bined capital of nearly 800, ,000,-
900 will be represented on the ex-
cursion.
The route as shown by the ac-
comparing cut will take the trade
boosters to Dunkirk, Westfeld,
Ripley, North East, Erie, Water
ford,~ Union City, Cory, Cam
bridge Springs, Meadville, Coch-
ranton, Franklin, Oil City, Titus
vile, Warren, Sheffield, Kane,
Johnsonburg, Ridgway, St. Marys,
Emporium, Port Allegany, Eldred,
Portville and Olean.
The object Of the Association is to
cultivate the wholesale trade and
territory naturally contributory to
Buffalo and thus make the city as
important jobbing center as Chi
cago is in the Middle West, or st.
Louis in the Southwest. This
first excursion is intended to give
the executive heads of the large
wholesale houses an opportunity
to meet personally their customers
throughout this part of the coun-
try.
The preparations are elaborate.
One hundred and seventy thou
sand dollars will not cover the.cost
OF train equipment. 1t will be
composed OF dining car, compart-
ment cars, sleepers and observa-
tion coach, each in charge of an
appointed officer who will enforce
strict rules on the excursionists.
The train will be equipped with
office facilities for use of officers
and members, and a small press
will issue daily reports of occurren-
ces in towns last visited as we'll as
describing the main points of in
terest about places yet to be seen.
Several years have elapsed since
Buffalo has sent out trade ex-
cursion. The last one was signal
ly effective and proved that an ex-
petition like the one now in hand
can accomplish wonders for the
commercial interests.
The most remarkable feature of
the excursion is the men compos-
ing it. All the firms participat-
ing will have one or more princi-
pals on board. The proprietary
heads are going.
The publicity committee of the
association has prepared much ad-
Vertisiug for distribution on the
trip and booklets of facts about the
advantages Buffalo possesses as a
jobbing center will be sent to busi-
ness men of the various towns to
be visited. Appointments will be
made with them in advance.
The officers of the association
say this is only the beginning of a
plan to stimulate the entire COM
mercial interests of the city and
they expect that it will have far
reaching and pronounced effect.
Mr.. r. Kuehne, our energetic
Fourth street merchant, has been
in correspondence with the Buffalo
Association and has caused to be
prepared important data relative
to Emporium and vicinity, hoping
thereby to interest some of the
live Buffalo capitalist in our nu-
merous natural advantages. We
would suggest that our Board of
Trade wake up, shake off the dust
and get in touch with live business
men, when Buffalo capitalists
make us a Wait.
