The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1922-06-01


Clio has been justly noted in all
the years that have gone for its spirit
of hospitality, for the spirit of good
will and fraternity, that has under
laid the more material matters of
trade and commercialism. We like
to think that the two ideas have gone
hand in hand and that linked with the
team work which the business men
Of the town have done to further
their commercial interests and the in
terests of the community they have
been animated by sense of graft
tude and appreciation to the people
of the surrounding country, whose
patronage and good will have been so
important. And we know that this
is true, because we have been pres
ent on numerous occasions when a
sentiment somewhat like this would
be expressed: "Now we had good
year, all things considered, and we
ought to invite our patrons to be our
guests for day and show them that
we value them as friends and really
appreciate their favors," following
which the idea would wrought into
reality and everybody would have a
good time. This idea has again TAX
en- shape and on Thursday. June Is,
the business men of Clio will join in
what is to be termed Welcome Day
to the people of the surrounding
country.
This day will be just what it's name
implies. II will be day when the
merchants and business men of the
village will ask their customers to
pay them social visit in their places
of business, to renew friendships and
demonstrate how business is tran
sacted. In addition to this. hot beef
sandwiches will be distributed at
noon with plenty of coffee, sugar
and cream on the side. AS further
source of entertainment the Gem
Theatre, showing a choice line of
films, many of them illustrative of
the greatest manufacturing indus
tries in the country, like the packing
industry, canning, baking, etc, &C.,
will be shown which will be en-
tirely free to the public and will pro-
vide very interesting as well as de-
lightful entertainment.
AS a rest room the auditorium will
be thrown open and ladies and chill
dren, and the men folk as well, will
be welcome to go there and rest and
visit. 1t is also planned to have
monographs in the room on which
selections from the choicest records
may be played and it is possible also
that there may be short program of
orchestra music.
AS an added inducement, or rather
as a tangible exhibition of the
friendly spirit, each business firm In
town plans to offer a genuine bar
gain from some item or items in their
stock; something that will be sold at
cost or below, so that their guests
may make their visit profitable as
we'll as pleasureable. These bargains
will be announced in the next issue
of this paper and will be well worth
your attention. They will not be
dollar articles marked down to a dol
lar twenty-five, but they will be
represented by desirable, staple
goods sold at cost or below.
However, the commercial feature
will be a secondary matter. The
business men want you to come to
Clio on Thursday, June 15, on the
score of friendship, because their in
terests and your interests are mutual
and because they want to learn, if
possible, to serve you better. Come
along and bring the family and be
assured that the business men of Clio
will do their best to maintain the hos
pitable traditions of the town and
make you comfortable and happy.
