From reports in the FL Paso pa
pers the action Of the directors Of
the Warren District Commercial club
in deciding that it was unnecessary
to make any plans, at least at this
time, for the reception Of the trade
expansion visitors, appears to be war
ranted, since it seems to be the in
tontion of the Pass City excursion
lists to do most Of the entertaining
themselves. According to these re-
ports, the visitors expect to bring
with them a band and to give band
concerts in each city at which they
stop for the night, with similar con
certs at the stations where only short
pauses are made
The list of those who are 10 par
ticiPate in the trip includes many
names that are familiar in Bisbee:
houses that already have q consil-
cradle trade here, as well as others
who are not so well known. and are
paying the visit for the purpose Of
becoming better acquainted II ap-
pears probable that the point OF view
taken by the directors OF the local
club is the correct one, and that the
excursionists would prefer to 90 out,
seek their present customers and for
themselves seek out new ones.
rather than have some entertainment
prepared for them at which they
might or might not be brought into
contact with the particular men they
especially desire TO meet
In speaking of the coming excur-
| sion. one OF the directors OF the Com
mercial club said that he believed
I the FL Paso merchants would be
benefited by closer association with
| Arizona business men. He added
J that for his part, where he had the
| choice of dealing with an FL Paso
1 house or a coast house. he always
selected the former. When one
gives business to FL Paso, there IS
at least a chance Of a fraction OF
1 the money coming back to Arizona.
There is some reciprocity. between FL
Paso and various Arizona points. but
! when one sends a dollar to the coast,
he might as well kiss it goodbye

/ in return" was one of his comments.
/ He evidently still had in mind the
( Los Angeles trade expansion excur-
sion when il stopped in this city. as
well as other Arizona experiences
with coast points on the other
hand, he stated that he believed that
I the difference in calibre and chaTac-
I teristics between the FL Paso mer-
chant and those who were here from
the coast, would rebound TO the form
er in the minds of any who cared TO
make the comparison between the
/ two excursions.
| He disclaimed any intention OF
/ knocking" the excursion or its mem.
/ bers, and claimed that on the con.
I trary, he for one welcomed closer re-
I lations with the west Texas city
1 that he would bid them welcome, and
I favored the appointment of a com
/ mittee from the club to meet the
I train on its arrival. TO bid the visi.

was the intention OF the visitors to
seek 70 win friendship and business
/ and that they would prefer to win

/ attempts made to entertain them
in some manner that might interfere
| with individual plans.
