organizaiions in knoxville. Mani
facturers. bankers. wholesalers. re-
tailcrs and professional men have
arranged 10 go on Knoxville's first
trade trip. A special train will be
secured Ia accommodate the Know
willie trade builders. The committee
iu charge has announced that every
effort will he made 10 make the trip
Of mutual advantage TO business
men Of Knoxville and the business
men OF the forty-three towns which
will be visited. The Knoxville
Board Of Commerce has arranged
the tour so that the members may
come in personal touch with the
business men throughout Knox
ville's trade territory. One Of the
slogans Of the party is Get Ac-
quainted."
The personnel of the party is made
up OF the most prominent men OF
Knoxville. Practically every big
enterprise in that city has signifled
its intention of having a representa-
tive make the four days trip on the
special train. Committees in the
towns 10 be visited are planning
novel ways 10 get acquainted in the
shortest time. The Knoxville Com
mittee are delighted with the en-
thusiasm which the announcement
of the trade trip schedule has ere
ated. Every effort is being made by
them 10 cooperate with the local
trade bodies in their entertainment
plans, so that the trip may be OF mu-
tual profit and pleasure.
The committee in charge are en-

deavoring TO impress upon the CON-
mercial bodies in the towns TO be
visited that this trade trip isn't
made for selfleh motives. The So
cial and the personal contact fea-
lures are considered the most i'm
portant. and every effort will be
made by the men on the special
To make real friends of the men they
meet along the route.
A band will accompany the party
10 furnish music at all entertain
ments. as well as 10 head the parades
which have been arranged for by
several of the towns 10 be visited.
This band will number about twen-
ty-tlve pieces and is considered one
of the best organizations OF its kind
in East Tennessee. No expense Is
being spared by the Knoxville Board
of Commerce TO make this trip sue
cessful in every detail. Committees
have been appointed 10 arrange for
the special train. the band, and other
special features OF the excursion,
which will be announced later.
All members OF the party are 10
be dressed alike, and each will carry
a red, white and blue umbrella, and
wear a white duck hat. This para
pharnalia will distinguish the visi-
tors from the local boosters" in the
towns visited and is calculated to
make an impression wherever seen.
The keynote Of the whole trip and
of the men who are behind il is a
desire for personal acquaintance.
Many of these men know by reputa-
tion and business dealing those they
will meet upon this trip. They be-
lieve that by getting acquainted
their circle OF friends will be wild
ened, their business increased and
their past and prospective patrons
placed in friendly relationship,
which would be impossible without
knowing them individually.
