Boosters Return to Town With
Advertising Wake In Three States
Retail Merchants Happy Over Tour in Which Thrty-two
Towns Were Visited and Citizens Awakened to
Trade Opportunities of the National Capital

After an official picture was Aken-the
camera man always was on the job
the Boosters started on a run to Win
chester. Va. A committee Of citizens OF
Winchester, including President Lucas.
Of the Winchester Chamber OF Com
merce. and T. c. Dulin. a Washington
business man who maintains summer
home at Bluemont. met the Boosters on
the West Virginia Virginia State line.
Dinner was served at the Hotel Evans,
Winchester A quick run was made to
Berryville.
At Bluemont, Round Hill. PURCELL
willie, Hamilton. and Leesburg the re-
ceptions were in the nature OF ova-
tions and at each OF these points the
Boosters not only gave band concerts
but distributed thousands Of pieces OF
advertising. Supper was served at
Leesburg Inn In response to a sug-
gestion from President r. p. Andrews.
1t was unanimously voted that the en-
tire party shou6 meet on the District
side Of Chain Bridge and In the mean
time distribute advertising matter at
every house along the line Of travel
1t was only 4 matter Of little time
when all Of the trucks and delivery cars
which made UP the retail merchants
caravan reached the District line. One
of the first trucks to arrive was a little
Giant truck containing the retall mer-
chants band. 1t was a matter Of pride
to the Boosters that all of the trucks In
the tour arrived on schedule time. This
was remarkable in view OF the poor Vir-
ginia roads,
While the Boosters were assembling at
Chain Bridge. President Andrews was
accorded congratulations on the success
of the trip. E. c. Rogers. business man.
ager of The Washington Herald. was
thanked for the assistance he personally
gave in aiding the boost for Washington
work throughout the trip.
Secretary Columbus managed to keep
in touch with both ends of the process
sion throughout the trip through the CO.
operation OF ]. ]. Bartram. proprietor Of
the Bartram garage. who operated a
speedy car on the tour and made it pos
sible for Columbus to start the cars from
each point. oversee their progress, and
welcome them at new stops.

| With an enthusiasm and comraderie
well known to members OF the Retail
Merchants Association the Boosters re.
turned from their 2o0-mile trip through
Maryland. Virginia, and West Virginia
last night and paraded through the down.
town section.
The, Boosters returned as they left
lWaShington-a unit. 1t was q business
trip from start to finish. Its prime pur-
pose was to benefit Washington. and the
movement was successful Without ex-
ception. the reception of the retail mer-
chants in the thirty-two towns and cities
visited was in the nature of an ovation.
Monday night was a gala night at
Hagerstown. Md. Following the arrival
of the boosters. who were preceded into
Hagerstown by committee of citizens,
Washington was put upon the Hagers-
town map with great enthusiasm. Every
opportunity was afforded 10 distribute a
generous proportion of the half million
pieces of advertising which the boosters
carried with them.
This advertising not only called atten-
tion to the general utility Of the Ma
tional Capital as buying center. but
particularly to the opening of the fall
buying season. set for September 27-
October . and to the desirabiity Of out
of-town folk visiting Washington at the
encampment.
The reception which was accorded the
retail merchant boosters in Hagerstown
on Monday night was reflected through
out yesterday In the run through West
Virginia and Maryland.
Even though the boosters made late
stay Monday night at the Hagerstown
Country Club. where they were the
guests Of the business men Of Hagers-
town. Secretary Charles ]. Columbus had
them called at o'clock in the morning
to prepare for big days work. 1t was
consummated according to schedule.
After breakfast the boosters departed
for Williamsport. where the first band
concert Of the day was given and to
the melodies of which the boosters dis
tributed advertising. Following a quick
run. Martinsburg was reached and a con-
cert was given in the public square. The
fact that the weather was hot did not
deter the boosters.
