Schroeder Does Good Work

Manager Schroeder of the Yakima
hotel is one of the most effective of
the Blossom Festival boosters. He
has sent to 40 or so hotel men of
this state and Oregon the big bills
advertising the Yakima Blossom car
nival and asked them to post the
placards in conspicuous places. Each
hotel man was given a number to dis
tribute and from the letters they have
sent in, in reply, it is evident that
the work done by Mr.. Schroeder is
practical and the kind that should
bring results.
