The special train conveying 100
Minneapolis business men arrived on
schedule time Monday and was met at
the G. N. depot by large crowd of
citizens, as well as a goodly sprink-
ling of Riddles from the public school.
The tourists had left Minneapolis
a few hours before and were on the
first leg of weeks jaunt over the
Northwest. Consequently they were
pretty poppy when they reached Sank
Centre, and as they swung into line
back of their crack band for the
march up to the public section, much
enthusiasm was displayed.
They were met at the corner of
Third and Main street where they
were welcomed by Mayor William
Parker on behalf of the city. A
sale houses Of Minneapolis were on
rhe trip and they are using the op-
portunity to get into personal con-
tact with their customers. AS soon
as formalities were over they has
tened to briefly greet their CUSTOM
ers in personal way. Probably ev-
cry business man in town had from
eight to dozen different callers on
this occasion. 't
w. S. Jones, business manager of
the Minneapolis Journal, is member
of the party and favored the Herald
with call. In discussing the OPP
portunity Minnesota has for the
tourist, Mr.. Jones said among other
things:
Minnesota has in it's vacation OPP
portunities an industry with an out
put of hundreds CT thousands of trav-
elers annually who soon will mean to
the state summer cash income of
S1OO,O0O,00O. This is indicated by
the records of The Minneapolis
Journal Travel and Resort Bureau,
"You are fortunately located in
section of this yacationland," said
Nr. Jones, "where you are in the
line of those who may stay for vary
ing lengths of time or for those who
are on their way to other points. In
either case your community receives
a call from the traveller with atten-
dant expenditures and future posi-
bilities which cannot be forseen. It
is because The Journal sees in the
development of the tourist traffic an
actual important, element in the fu-
ture greatness of the state that it
has established its extensive Travel
and Resort bureau which last year
sent thousands Of travellers your way
and is doing the same this year with
greatly increased facilities for serv-
ing the public without charge. We
invite your townspeople to take adj
vantage of our free service covering
all travel information. rs
"However, to get the best results
from the tourist traffic every COM
munitv should be alert and figure out
a way for intercepting the stream
Small but adequate information bur-
eaus, perhaps in business place on
which all are agreed, should he es-
tablished and the least that could be
done would be to keep The Journal
bureau advised of vacation facilities
and road conditions. In this way
the bureau is equipped at all times
with the up-to-the-minute informa-.
ton. necessary for properly directing
the travel your way. Once he has
landed here, the job is yours to sell
the traveller on what your particular
community has to offer. Here is
your chance to get actual personal
touch with prospects of every kind
who may be made of inestimable
value to you in times ahead. We are

which are of value to the motorist
and other travellers and these also
serve to keep the tourist possibilities
before the people of the state"
