The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-10-16

EVERY BUSINESS MAN SHOULD
PLAN TO ATTEND WHETHER
HE RECEIVED SPECIAL INVITA-
TIoN OR NoT-THERE WILL BE
SEATS FOR OVER 400.

In the honor of the annual banquet
and boosters meeting of the Fargo
Commercial club win be given
an electrical display tomorrow even
ing. All of the decorations will be
placed in position and the strings Of
electric lights turned ron.
The banquet and meeting and en-
tertainment which will be given to-
morrow evening at $50 in the Ma
sonic temple will be the biggest thing
that the city has eyer undertaken.
There will be a splendid dinner at 6: 80
in the temple, and while this is going
on and afterwards there will be an
entertainment which, will be furnished
by the Town CTiefs' organization
The Town Criers after a o'clock
dinner this evening at. the commercial
club will repair to the temple where
there will be full dress rehearsal
Of the programme which is a mag
niffcent one, and is patterned after the
great Gridiron club of Washington
political writer's. These stunts are
bound to evoke a great deal Of laugh
ter for there will be approximations
of different prominent men of the city.
whose eccentricities and mannerisms
will be held up to the glare of the
open. The boys of the Town Criers
have rehearsed most diligently and
under Director Moore Of the Dakota
Trust Co, expect to make a hit every
minute of the time.
Let None Stay Away.
1t is hoped that no business man of
the city will remain away from the
banquet doings on account Of not re-
ceiving an invitation. The committee
Of forty has a large territory to
cover and on this account may un-
Intentionally fail to- see some one. If
such is the case 1t is earnestly hoped
that all such will call at the temple
or 'at the commercial club rooms on
! the afternoon or evening of the ban
quet when the necessary invitation
will be extended to them. There isn't
q business man in the city that can af-
ford to miss this big time, for it is
believed that 1t will be worth while.
The Seating Capacity,
There win be seats for over 400 and
the committee for the banquet to-
morrow evening earnestly hopes that
every. seat will be filled by a bust
ness man, for there will be some ad-
dresses, all short ones that should
| be heard by 9lI. sGS@Ea win be a re-
port from the commercial club, which
will give the men some idea Of the
great work that has been done by the
organization during the past year.
| This report viii enter into the detail
where the money has been expended
for the betterment of the city of
Fargo in very particular. 1t will be
no cut t-and- dried meeting, for there
will be fun galore during the entire
time Remember that the banquet is
on tomorrow evening at $50 and
that the business men are expected to
be in attendance.
Will Have a Party.
The Fargo chapter of the American
Banking Institute an organization that
is composed of bank clerks and at
taches of the banks of Fargo and
Moorhead, will have a part in the pro-
gramme at the boosters banquet and
they expect to acqut themselves cred
itably. Director Moore of the Town
Criers' club who has charge of the
greater part of the arrangements with
the other committees, when asked this
morning what the programme would
consist of, smiled and sac: "Wait and
see" but enough has leaked out to
make it known that several of the
most prominent men will be imperson-
ated by different members of the two
organizations and while these may
not be exactly true to life, still the
characterizations will be strong enough
so that all who are there will know
who Is being hit. 1t Is understood the
mayor and the police force will find
a part on the programme
