southern part of the state where Mr..

only been crossed once this year, and

Everything is moving along nicely
for the trip of the Fargo travellers to
CrookstOn next June, when they eX-
pect to go in autos. AS will be seen
by the above the CrookstOn Auto club
will take steps to have the roads in
the best of condition and will meet the
Fargo men at NeilsVille, and give the
boys an escort into the Minnesota city.
Up at Crookston the boys are all ac-
tivity in regard to the grand council
convention and they are very much
pleased over the fact that Fargo has
decided to go in numbers and by auto
mobiles at that.
Fargo Auto Club.
Recently NJ. Bishop chairman of the
invitation committee sent letter to
the Fargo Auto club asking the mem
bers to participate in the trip and here
is a letter received from N. A. Lewis,
president of the club which is repro
duced so that all of the Fargo travellers
can see it. Mr.. Lewis says:
Your kind favor of March 81 re-
ceived and note contents of same care
fully. L wish to thank you most
heartily on behalf of the Fargo Auto
mobile club for the special invitation
to join the U. c. 7. boys on the trip
to CroOkston during their convention
in June. --.,.-
of our members will avail themselves
of the opportunity to go to Crookston
on this occasion and you can certainly
count on two cars from the Lewis
Vidger Co.
. The automobile club will make a
special effort to send as many cars as
possible and hope we will be able to
take care of all the U. G. f. boys
from Fargo"
Fargo Commercial Club.
Mr. Bishop also sent letter to the
Fargo Commercial club inviting the
members to participate in the Crooks
ton trip and this subject was discussed
at some length by the executive COM
mittee of the club last Monday and 1t
appeared to be the consensus OF
opinion of the club that some action
be taken in regard to the matter, and

the auto club in regard to the question
The matter will come before the CLUB s
executive committee meeting Monday
again, and it is more than likely that

club.

There is one man who is a member

He has already started on a regular

TRAVELLING man IS
AN ORDER BOOK
JOHN A. FORTIN. ONE OF THE Of
FICERS OF 65 DELIVERS A Lee
TURE AT THE MEETING OF FAR
GO COUNCIL WHICH is LISTENED
TO.

"a travelling man of the salesman
type is an order book going about In
assorted sizes in Pullman coaches and
he is fitted up with full name and
street address," is the way John A.
Fortin, one of the officers of 65 began
his lecture at the council at the last
meeting.
Besides this, the travelling man of
the salesman class is portable volume
bound In a choice selection of late
model commercial conversation and
many times, when he trains his vocal
Wlnchesters and draws upon his 40
volt magnetic power and sets the laws
of his tan sample case to yawniug, be-
fore the saffron completed optics Of
some old antique face wearing an old
taShloned, tall, mosaic forehead, his
tactics often hayrake the business fog
away, roll all the sleeves up back at
the factory for extra high work and
causes the adding machine to have it's
grinning molars maniCured until it gets
folding cramp in it's nervous system.
Many times travelling salesman is
compelled to do travelOgue and a mono
logue combined, while he finishes up
frequently by restoring to frowns and
crows feet, all kinds of gestures index
finger emphasis and an office full of
marathon disputes and arguments be-
fore he is able to remove an order
without employing a monkey wrench,
or trying to segregate the head buyer
from one or two with the aid of mild
anesthetic.
Most all travelling men lug around a
large spool of financial and personal
"reminiscences. This coil Is unwound
at intervals, lassoed around the next
stack of wholesale houses and towns
and orders towed in with it.
Some statesmen are. so gilt-edged
cheerful that they can focus through
the commercial gloom and sight sun
shine toe-dancing on the cash register
four states away. A good story,
cemented with few drop shipments, a
ravel or two of the tariff. a sprinkling
of granulated humor, a moist spot for
few grins to sprout in, and a pinch
of lukewarm plot stirred in the middle
often brews a recipe of which is one
of the travelling salesmen's most vaIu-
able business getters and commercial
mediums"
