To Get Acquainted
While the excursion bears the
name TRADE Tour" better to
Identify it, the Civic & Com
merce Association emphasizes
the statement that it is in fact
a good fellowship trip to enable
the business men of Minneap-
oils to study the resources and
potentialities of the territory to
be visited. They desire to meet
all of the people in the towns Wis
tied, as we'll as the farmers sur
rounding them, and it is urged
that every citizen endeavor to
be down town at the time of
their arrival in order that this
community may impress itself
forcibly upon the tourists. Sober
business judgment will be ap-
piled by the visitors and it is
important that our town make
the best possible showing.
One of the features of enter
tainment will be a moving pic
ture show especially arranged
for the children, given in con-
nection with a band concert in
the city park. The east side of
the Kahler House will be used
for the movie screen and such
informal speaking as there may
be will be from the balcony of
the Kahler.
The tourists will make short
stops at North Redwood and
Delhi with a band concert at
each place.
Band Comes, Too
The excursionists will be &C
companied by the First Infantry
Band under the personal direc-
ton of John P. Rossiter and a
concert will be given at each
stop. This band is one of the
best musical organizations of the
Northwest and has made a big
hit on all of the three previous
excursions conducted by the AS
ISOLATION. Plans have not been
made for entertainment during
the evening that will be spent in
Redwood Falls. A representa-
tive of the Civic & Commerce
Association is expected to visit
the city within a few days at
J which time he will confer with
officials of the Commercial Club
and others with regard to the
band concert and other details
of the evening program.
Have Special Train
The visitors will travel in a
palatial steel train-a veritable
hotel on wheels, including in it's
equipment all the latest devices
for the promotion of travel COM
fort. 1t will leave Minneapolis
on the morning of May 81, re-
turning Saturday, June 5. In
all sixty-one stops will be made,
the nights being spent in Red
wood Falls, Watertown Is. d.
Luverne, New Ulm and Albert
Lea.
Times Are Good
No other tour of the Associa-
ton has been as promising as
this. The number and personnel
of the party will surpass all pre-
vious records and the produc-
tivity, beauty and prosperity Of
the communities to be visited
excels that of any previous ex-
cursion. The coming of the tour
lists is the strongest possible in
dication of the firm belief OF
Minneapolis that business is
good and growing steadily bet
