Special Invitation to
Attend Inter-City Day
INLAND,
March 81.

:
"For the good of Imperial val
ley and as an initial step in the
conservation of the cooperative
forces of this wonderful expanding
section, We earnestly urge you to at
tend an educational gathering at Nj.
land, the new city at the north gate
way, on Tuesday, March 81.
"Inter-City Day is the name adopt
ed for the occasion and the title has
specal significance in that all of the
cities of Imperial valley have been
invited to participate. Furthermore,
the term inter-city, as applied to this
event, significantly brings forth the
idea of unifying the whole valley
from the standpoint Of business and
sociability.
Representing, as you do, an or
ganization that is a vital force in
the upbuilding of Imperial valley we
feel that Inter-City Day would be
incomplete without one or more rep
resentatives from your organization.
This is especially true since it has
been arranged to bring from Los An
geles a coterie of we'll known per-
sons whom it is desired to impress,
not only with the wonders of Impe-
rial valley, but with the character Of
the citizenship as well. w.
"On this occasion special train
will be run from Ell Centro,, leav-
ing at 8:45 Tuesday morning. The
round trip fare will be $1.00. Am
pie shade and accommodations for the
meeting will be provided at INLAND,
and a complimentary barbecue will
be served at noon by Vahan H. Azh-
derian, the famous Holtville Fiesta
chef
"The presence of yourself and
friends will be greatly appreciated.
"Yours very respectfully,
John d. REAVIS,
"Vice President"
