]. c. Mueller, Theo. Hamm Brew
ing Co., st. Paul, MINI. IL was par
ticularly impressed with the wisdom
and great mutual benefit of gatherings
of this kind. bringing together the
residents of the agricultural district
and the cities, and getting them in
closer touch and perfect harmony. A
closer relation between the great
mass of producers and consumers is
always beneficial to both.
BENZ. Sommers, Pres, G.. Sommers
& Co., st. Paul, Minnesota-For my
part, was profoundly impressed by
the seriouness with which every de-
tail of your efforts was carried out.
There were none of the carnival
features which are usually in evidence
on occasions of this kind. Your ex-
hibits, your speakers and your pic
lures had definite purpose and the
crowds of people who came to your
meetings, came to hear and weigh
your message.

State Fair, Hamline, Minnesota. Il
want to congratulate the West Central
Development Association for the
work they are doing, and propose to
do in the future With the enthusiasm
which seemed to permeate every man,
woman and child who was in attend
ance at this exhibition, I cannot see
anything but bright future ahead
for the work of your organization.
You have my best wishes for the
good work you are doing.

Northern Ry. Co.. st. Paul, Mime

great deal of time, energy and
money to the settlement of the state
tributary to our line and an exposi-

encouragement and still stronger
desire on our part to bring settlers
into the country.

spirit of helpfulness and social service

st. Paul, Minnesota. Il thought ant
believe the entire delegation had th
same thought, that if the Twin Cit,
people would show their interest il
an association like yours, by takin|
the trouble to go and see just wha
you were doing. that it would help t
remove the false impression whic
has been created by demogogues an
> a few misguided newspapers. that tn
cities are against the country an
were looking only after their ow
interests and development.
