SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
Fargo is to be well advertised in
connection with the coming state sun
day school convention. The CONNER
cial club has taken an interest in the
affair and the following letter. and the
circular which accompanies it are self
explanatory.
The letter has been sent to Fargo
business men and is as follows:
Last spring the various churches of
the city invited the state Sunday
school convention to meet at Fargo in
1911. This invitation was accepted.
and the convention win be held on May
Is, IL and is.
Three hundred and fifty to 500 dele
gates will be in attendance, depend
ing largely on the amount Of adver-
| Using that is done.
The State Sunday ScnooI associa-
ton will send out beforehand 10000
copies Of the programme. The local
.0cmmittee offers to get these out In
an attractive form at considerable ex-
ira expense. and include the enclosed
Fargo. The commercial club heartily
endorses this plan, believing that this
advertisement of the city, going as IL
does to the best class OF people. win
not only bring more delegates to the
convention, and thus increase the di-
rect financial returns to our business
men, but will also call attention to
Fargo as a school, hospital and BUSH
ness center, in way that will bring
most valuable future returns.
We urge you to contribute literally
TO the expense of entertaining the
convention, which we believe should
be made $500, in order to advertise the
city properly. Solicitors will walt on
you in a few days. Very truly yours,
