IN their annual tour of good fellow
ship and cooperation, the Tenth An
1ual Trade Tour of the Minneapolis
Civic & Commerce association, will
stop over night at Oakes on Tuesday,
May 49," according to an announce
ment received from George c. Jones,
this years chairman of the tour. "The
trade tour special train, using 500 line
equipment, will leave Minneapolis
early on May % over the Minneapolis,
st. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie railway,
over which they will travel to Oakes.
From Oakes they will tour along the
line of the Northern Pacific railway
to Valley City and Fargo, from which
point the Civic & Commerce associa-
ton travellers will follow the main line
Of the Great Northern through Will
mar and back into Minneapolis. While
the main purpose of our tour into
western Minnesota and eastern North
Dakota this year is to make new
friendships with the residents in that
territory and to exchange friendly ad-
vice on business conditions and meth
DDS, we aim also to have good time
at every stop and to leave in each
town the thought that the city busi-
ness man, the country merchant or
banker, and the farmer, all are work.
ing for the same thing" said Mr..
Jones statement.
"The 110 Minneapolis men who are
going on this Swing around the circle
represent all the principal lines Of
manufacturing and finance
in Minneapolis" he said, "but they are
not visiting towns and cities of their
territory with the idea of selling any
thing or Of exploiting. They will visit
you with hope to form your friend
ship and to hear in your own words
your view of the present outlook and
Of the steps that should be taken to
bring US all the bigger prosperity that
is coming"
F. T. Heffelfnger, president of the
Civic & Commerce Association, has
urged every man making the trade
tour this year to discuss with those
he meets the need for increasing the
farmers interest in dairying and to
extend to everyone an invitation to
the famous National Dairy show,
which will be conducted for the Sec
ond year at the Minnesota state fair
grounds the middle of October Stu
dents of prosperity throughout the
United States have the strongest
proofs that farming districts can do
more to increase their wealth and
well-being by placing dairy cows on
their farms than any other way.
The famous 151st Field Artillery
band Of the Rainbow division will ac-
company the trade tourists under the
direction Of M. M. Jalma, who led it
overseas. The band will lead the
march which the tourists will make
in body through every town at which
they stop. At each town speaker
representing Minneapolis will reply
to the greeting of the local committee.
Many men Of long acquaintance
with the trade Of the northwest are
to make the trip this year on the Civic
& Commerce association trade tour,
while many others will go to make ac-
quaintances in the territory, or are
looking for chances to invest money.
The tour will last from Monday,
May %, to Saturday, May 27, with
night stops at Alexandria, Minn.,
Oakes, Valley City, Wahpeton, N. D.,
