happiest anticipation of its promot-

fortunately was good and the at

ceeding the hotel accommodations,
and no doubt next year some better
provision will be made along this

most creditable and reflects well on
its management.

compelling gasoline to do a decent days
work, Flint was a modest place Of $4,000

served its side dishes in cute little china
bath tubs and the principal OUTDOOR
amusement was going down to the depot
to see the Pere Marquette trains come
in.

factory and Flint began to spread like
