'HCy WdHt 10 SOT1e again
After the recent visit of the st. Paul
Jobbers to Brookings the Commercial
Club wrote each of the visitors a letter
thanking them for stopping here and
extending an invitation to visit US
again. This action evidently made a
favorable impression on the st. Paul
men, as they all answered and have
some nice things to say of Brookings,
the Commercial Club and the State
College. Below we reprint excerpts
from some of the letters:
Rogers Il Rogers-Your cordial in
v~itation to visit your city again is at
hand and noted and trust to be able
to avail myself of the invitation some
time in the near future, and will be
glad to call on you. Sorry that our
stay was so short in such a nice city
as Brookings and next time assure
you that |, at least, will stay longer.

tinue to prosper in every way.

Brookings again and will be pleased to
accept your courteous invitation to
visit your Commercial Club when

gressive and up-to-date cities on our
trip, and personally we feel excep-
tionally friendly towards your people

The having of the agricultural college
located at Brookings is, without a

far reaching things that could possibly
be for the future development of your
town.

bers of our party to realize what
growth your section of the country has
already made, and is sure to make in
the future.

Your favor of the 18th inst. has been

and an inspiration to us in our future

the lame of your beautiful and thriv-

again and become more familiar with
it's beauties. The hospitality of your
citizens and the courtesies shown our
party will be long remembered by us.
