Tuesday afternoon Rawlins had as
her guests of honor owe one hun
bred Omaha boosters who arrived in
the city on a ten car TRADE Spe-
oial." The boosters train pulled in
to the U. P. depot a few minutes af-
ter one o'clock and. despite the rainy
weather then prevailing, was greeted
by a large delegation Of local bust
nessmen. The Rotarians. present in
a body, greeted the visitors with a
rousing rotarian song of welcome
as they stepped down from the cars.
With the Omaha businessmen was
Dan Desdune's far famed colored
band and in the march through the
streets of the downtown section and
in the twenty five minutes of concert
held on the corner Of Fifth Street
and Cedar the dusky musicians prov
ed themselves to be fully equal to
their we'll known reputation as mas
ters of popular and classic band
music.
The Omaha delegation proved
themselves to be live wires and sue
cseded in making many friends in
the brief time they were in the city.
Frank Keogh, chairman Of the
committee in charge, in a statement
made during his visit in Rawlins
said:
Omaha realizes that the great
advance 1t has made in all lines Of
business is due to merchants and
buyers throughout the Middle West.
We make an excursion each year to
visit as many of Omaha's friends as
possible"
Other members OF the excursion,
every n a representative OF az
Omaha business institution. stated
that they would like to visit the
whole middle west each year. but
added that "since this territory en-
braces about one fifth OF the whole
United States. 1t just couldn't be
done"
While the Omahans frankly called
their excursion a Trade Trip" they
were making no effort to sell goods
or take orders. There's plenty of
time for that throughout the year.
they said. We're just u on this
trip to shake hands and get acQuain-
ted"
The Omahans urged merchants at
all points along their route to go to
Omaha in August as guests of the
city during Omaha's annual Fall
Merchants Market Week.

Market Week Committee stated.
"When these merchants get to-
gether they discuss their problems.
and we have often been told that
what they learn from each other
while examining stocks of goods and
meeting at the various conferences,
is more than worth the trip to Oma-
ha."

ionally lively program is being ar
ranged for this Falls affair and that
