UNION CITY. Nov. 16.-The right
hand of fellowship was extended to
the Richmond Boosters all along their
route today and il was evident that a
closer feeling and a cooperative spirit
has been created between merchants
and manufacturers Of Richmond andj
those Of the smaller towns which were
visited on the third boosters trip. At
every stop the boosters we're met by
representative citizens and business
men and everyone pronounced the trip
a hugh success.
In every city and town which tho
big automobile party touched the pub
lie buildings. business houses and even
a number of private homes were gayly'
decorated with the national colors and
school children in some Of the towns,
marched to the city limits to welcome
the visitors.
All along today's route the Rich
mond boosters were urged to do ev-
|erything in their power to promote the
proposed northern traction line. This /
desire was more strongly expressed to !:
the boosters at Whitewater than in ]
other towns. The Rev. Mr.. Fisher. Of
Whitewater. delivered the address Of
welcome and dwelt at length upon the
traction idea. saying it would do a
great deal to bring Richmond and
Whitewater closer together.
Children Consuicuous
At Middleborough the business
houses were decorated with flags and
the school children were conspicuous
in welcoming the boosters. Cider and
appiweEs sssystsand tn booshssea
mingled with the business men for .
short time, explaining tho object Of
the trip and impressing upon their
| minds that it was not with the purpose
of stealing trade but with the idea Of
creating a friendly feeling between
the town and city. that the boosters
were making the trip.
