There is nothing more certain than
the trend of public. sentiment moving
tavorably towards the men on the
road This is a result of the light
which is opening the eyes of the peo-
pie to the incalculable benefits coming
to the world as a result of the great
army of intelligent, honest and siren
uous men now covering the country
like blanket
Recognition OF this valuable service
is to be seen in every direction, but
the advertisement copied below is
probably the first instance where q
wide awake city is taking active steps
to secure the men on the firing line
to make their homes within the bor-
ders of that city. The residence of
travelling men in a city is one of its
greatest assets, and Waukesha realiz-
ing that fact, is going after the COM
mercial traveller.
This ad, in part, appeared in The
Sample Case Of July, the organ of the
United Commercial Travellers Of Amer
lea, the largest organization of travel
ing men in the world. Fargo will
do well to take notice.

Gets There just the Same.

The following lines were contributes
by w. A. Chatterton, the well known
traveller who makes his home in thi,
city:
Though the roads may be awful muddy
And the horses all go lame.
The drummers, like the bedbug,
He gets there just the same,
For he is always ready
With energy and wit,
Things that worry most people
Don't bother him bit.
So give us kind word always;
We will give you back the same,
For the doings OF some black sheep
Don't give the whole tribe blame.
For clear, clear down to hades
Some so-caIled good men slip,
While on the road to heaven,
Goes the traveller with his grip.

TRAVELLERS BOOSTERS.

Fargo wants to grow. The best
possible means to this end is to
increase the business done in this
market and tell the world what
we have to offer. This can easily
be done. We, have over 500 of the
best men that money can secure
who are covering the land like
blanket, and these men are the
commercial travellers.
This great army stands ready,
willing and anxious to promote ev-
cry industry Of their home market,
but their efforts are handicapped
If they know not whereof they
speak.
