Word has been received by the
fews bureau of the American Bank
rs Association convention that the
ilroads are reserving special
ains from almost every large city
make the trip to Los Angeles for
he convention to be held October
to Z, inclusive. All the transcon-
finental lines as well as most Of
fhe larger Eastern systems have
issued special pamphlets and book
lets describing the glories of South
ern California, and giving all data;
such as rates, etc, for the guidance
of those who desire to attend the
convention Plans for specfal
trains from such centers as New
York and Chicago were made weeks
ago. but Cleveland bankers are
probably the first to actually en-
gage their special train. This party,
under the direction of d. Jay Col
liver. will leave the Forest City
late in September via the Canadian
Rockies. to Vancouver. B. C. Here
they will be entertained by Ca
madam bankers and will then pro-
ceed down the Pacific Coast to Los
Angeles. The return journey will
be made via the Royal Gorge and
the American Rockies. These spe-
cial trains will stop over at -vari-
Gus points Of interest, and the
travellers will be entertained by
local bankers all along the line.
Northern Ohio will practically be
depopulated Of its bankers at the
time of the convention, and it is
probable that two special trains
will be needed to accommodate
those who have stated they will at
tend the convention. Many parties
nave already started across the
country by motor. with more to fol-
low. Arrangements are under way
FOR the delegations from smaller
towns to engage special cars, and
these cars will be made into solid
bankers trains at central junction
points. From every indication the
attendance at the forthcoming con-
Ventton will be the largest and
most representative Of any gather
ing Of this distinguished body of
men.
