fake, Equity Institutions
Because Of the number of business
establishments being located over the
northwest and especially in North Da-
kota bearing the name Equity" the
society of Equity went on record that
all such ventures to carry the name
must have the endorsement Of the
board of directors. 1t was afterwards
stated that ia saloon in the twin cities
carries the name Equity"
The convention was not the largest
which has been held in the state but
this was due to poor railroad service
on many of the branch lines.
From the point Of interest and hos
pitality shown by the city Of Bis
marck and the state legislature the
convention was the brightest and the
best yet according to President NJ. P.
Johnson.

start to finish. She drove one of the cars Her 12-year-old son Jack drove an- other. Two of her sales mechanics had charge of the third and fourth cars. l However, the mere fact that the mechan- | ics were in the party does not warrant 1 the conclusion that they did all the driv- ing. For, let it be known, Mrs. Berg s
 mother was also in the party, and never
 yet has she gone on a motor car tour of any length without taking the wheel for goodly share of the route herself. Likewise in the tour just completed.
 The lady is Mrs. J. H. Kesterson. She is two years less than 60 The fact that Mrs. Kesterson was the first woman who ever drove motor car in Kansas may account to some extent for her contin- ued enthusiasm over this form of travel At any rate, she does continue enthusi- astc
 The party proceeded by the way of
 Elkhart. South Bend and Chicago and from there followed the Lincoln highway.
 It is one of the few trips of this nature ever made by a woman dealer and prob ably the longest of any of the many
 "driveways" that have been made neces- sary this winter by the fact that there have been no freight cars for shipments. An idea of the difficulties encountered on the long journey may be gleaned from the following characteristic telegram from Mrs. Berg, sent to Dodge Brothers on her arrival home:
 Arrived home yesterday, finest kind of shape Positively no car trouble and very little tire trouble. Jacks car came through without puncture. We proved the Dodge Brothers car can blow, skate, wade and swim. A high wind drifted snow over the roads in Michigan and as I led the party broke the roads occa- sionally being shoveled out To our party that was good sport
 We stopped in Chicago day and re- ceived numerous courtesies from your dealer there From Clinton, la. to Mar shalltown we travelled over ice, and Char lotte famous fancy skater) does not have anything on a Dodge Brothers car when it comes to skating.
 Western Iowa was a sea of water We ran through swollen creeks and were held up at Westsde until the flood re- ceded. Mighty proud to say we found our best roads in Nebraska. Pleasantly greeted in Omaha by the Dodge Brothers dealer. Spent Sunday in Lincoln We all want to make the drive over many times. I drove my car the entire way without particle of fatigue Mother en- joyed roughing it as much as the rest of our party
 inquiries are coming in from Nebras- ka and Kansas dealers as to the success of our trip. It costs little if any more than actual freight and as I see it, one cannot afford to close up shop on account of freight car shortages"
 Mrs Bergs territory comprises four counties two in Kansas and two in Ne braska. When her supply of cars dwin- dled and the outlook for freight ship ments became less hopeful every day, she wired the factory, asking if she could have the cars if she came after them The result is the remarkable mid-winter Journey of a woman merchant, her 58- year-old mother and 12-year-old son under conditions that would discourage the most energetic of business men.

1T there is any phase of twentieth cen tury business in which man excells wom- an, Mrs. Zona Berg, Superior, Neb., wholesale and retail dealer in motor cars, would like to know about it. Mrs. Berg has just completed a little business drive literally and figurativefy, which es- tablishes a record.
