the trip, we quote:
Bismarck, the Capital City of
North Dakota-the Queen City Of the
Missouri Slope a number of years
ago adopted the wise policy of spend
jng day now and then in travelling
about getting better acquainted with
It's neighbors.
"The first of these 'Get-Acquainted'
tours this year-and probably the
most elaborate which will be made
by the Capital City-brings us to your
good town. We come with a high
appreciation of your community and
of the men who have made it what it
is today. We will depart, we know,
with an even better estimate of your
town and it's possibilities. And, if we
can leave, in turn, some idea of that
new spirit which prevails today in Bis
marck, we will feel that we have ac-
complished a great deal in the all-toO-
short time we have to spend with you.
Bismarck believes in you and your
town. Bismarck has watched your
progress during the last few years;
has grasped the efforts which you are
putting forth, and has gloried in your
success. Bismarck believes in all of
that country, sometimes referred to as
"West of the River" We believe in
your big men; in your big ideas; in
the big spirit which is making your
influence fel. not only in the Missouri
Slope region, but throughout North
Dakota and the great Northwest.
Bismarck comes to you today in the
name of good fellowship-in the in

hone that you may like us as well as
we like you. We trust that we may
succeed in making you understand
that the latchstring always hangs out
for YOU and yours in the Capital City.
We pray that we may make you ap-
preciate the fact that Bismarck. the
Capital City OF all North Dakota, is
especially your city, with real inter-
est in you, and your town, and in ev-
erything that helps you and your
town."
Considerable opportunity was given
to boost for Bismarck's big Fourth OF
July celebration. Elegant posters set

tributed at the various towns and the
prospects are that a large crowd Will
attend from this section.
