Extending the Tourist Season

The Branerd Despatch suggests the extension of the
tourist through September and OCTOBER IL IS
The really glorious months of the year Minnesota
are September and October They bring days ideal Tor
touring and camping. A September day in Minnesota
is usually warm but not hot The nights are COOL ana
there insect life to poster the wearied traveller on
lake shore forest Then too, the fishing is better
and of course there is hunting added attraction
This is the season when Minnesota looks its best Its
scenery is varied and gorgeous than IN july Inc
woods draped in varied coors attractive to the eye
There is monotony in the appearances OF fields Tor
in place of uys solid color there the checkerboard 81
browns and yelows, and blacks, denotlng freshly
poWed ground 1t is the season OF indian summer Inc
nvigoratng the skies and clear the scenery
glorious 1t is period whose natural call IS co the OUT
doors.
Summer months may be the natural ones for the
tourist But Minnesota is losing one it's best BETS if
It fails to draw travellers here for the fall season
The above article taken from the Minneapolis Jour-
nal touches on topic that should be of interest to sum-
mer resort men in Villas county All of upper Wscon-
sin offers the attractions to the autumn tourist that
Minnesota does and when that state decides
to cater to the fall tourist trade it is time for the Wis
consn resort to get busy and hold the trade that ne
now and may lose if Minnesota resorts begin to
tend their through the most wonderful season OF
the year.
AS matter of fact, the season has been growing
longer here from the fact of many regular visitors ask
ing be Accommodated in advance of the formal opening
June l. and others who have wished to stay longer
than September when the season formerly closed The
resort when he complains about his business at ALL
speaks of the difficulty he experiences IN making his
years earnings during the brief two months of capacity
business It does not pay him to keep full retnue of
help few guests before after the ard what
business he has during those periods has
tirey unsolicited Judging from the number of people
who spend the month Of May in this county, it
if many would do if they could be taken
Of When you think of the number who take
vacation better than later the who have been i'll
and wish to get from the city for quiet and rest IN
fact for many though there would be
trouble in filing every resort several weeks in advance
of the present season if the owners prepared for it.
AS the Journal states there is of the year
when all outdoors is beautiful when people
like be out in the COOL bright days of September and
October. While it is true that large number must leave
to be home for the opening Of schools in September yet
their places would easily be taken by others not
affected by the school year That reminds that three
different city school teachers said in presence short
time ago that there decided movement to
postpone the general opening Of schools until October and
that such provisions would undoubtedly be made within
short time. that happens, then there will be great
many who will be able to enjoy autumn vacation
Minnesota has nothing to offer the tourist at any
that cannot be duplicated in Villas county and many others
in the lake region and believe it up to resort
everywhere to get busy and advertise that their places
will open May l. and remain open until October KS.
AS business proposition, it has got to point where
they cannot afford to pass up the fall tourist trade for
the that others the possibilities in and
going to cater to it and profit thereby
