PLANS FOR EVENT
BEING PUT FORTH
Committees Named ToTake
Hold of This Affair
ARMORY Is PLACE
Date To Be Sometime In March
Will Be On Elaborate
Scale.

Plans for a Mankato Builders
show were formulated at a joint
meeting of the Mankato Builders Ex
change and the builders show COM
mittee of the Civic and Commerce
association, which was held at the
association rooms last evening. The
show is to be held at the Mankato
Armory some time in March and will
last for three days.
This Builders show is to be on a
more elaborate basis than was the
Home Builders clinic, which was
held under the auspices of these
two organizations at the Armory last
March. and will carry all of the fea
lures of tn eHome Builders clinic
which was confined to matters con-
corning the building of dwellings,
and will also take in general con-
struction. This is made possible
through the enlarged facilities OF the
new armory. Another innovation is
that individual booths will be fur
nished this year. This was not done
at the show last year, but joint ex-
hibitions were made by each of the
trades, etc.
Music and Speaking.
Musical and speaking programs
win be provided during each evening
of the show. F. W. K-use, chairman
of the Civic and Commerce associa-
ton committee, said that he would
give a lot to the show to be given
away to some lucky person register
ing at the show. This and other
prizes will probably be offered to
the public through the builders show.
