Kansas City Boosters Here

The young mems division oi
Chamber of Commerce, of Kan.
sas City, out on good fellow
ship tour, reached here.about or
time last Friday. There were
"a cars carrying a bunch of live
trade boosters that seemed to be
enjoying the trip.
The first car to arrive, the
pathfinder, was an Auburn
Beauty Six, sold in this territory
by P. F. Weaver of Laclede.
They distributed souvenirs,
the orchestra furnished jazz
music, they jollied everybody
and got jollied, while Floyd
Jacobs of Kansas City made a
five minute talk.
A handsomely printed log
book, of which 5000 copies were
distributed along the route, con-
tanned the following concerning
Laclede:
"Laclede, Missouri, is we'll
kown as the birth place and
home of General John J. PERISH
ing. His home is in the main
part of town and is well preserv-
ed and in the front window of
this home will be found an oil
of the general. No
tourist can visit Laclede without
someone calling his attention to
the home of General Pershing,
and if Laclede has no other his
tory than that of being the birth
place and boyhood home of
General Pershing, it is enough
that this community can boast |
Of one of the greatest generals in
The history of the world"
