Hotel CAMPAIGN
COMES TO Close
With $4,000 Pledged, and Good
Prospects for More, Success
of Enterprise Assured

With S122,000 subscribed and pros |
poets bright for reaching the original
goal, S175,00O, the intensive" cam
paign for Bozeman's proposed COM
munity hotel closed at a luncheon at
hotel headquarters last Friday noon.
The net result of the Intensive"
campaign was success, for although
the total of stock sold was less than
the high mark aimed for, the sum
raised is sufficient to guarantee the
erection and putting into operation
of the hoSel and the task remaining
is to sell enough additional stock to
reduce the necessary bond issue to as
low a figure as possible.
The total number of subscribers to
stock was announced as ZIG, which in
dicates the widespread interest taken
by Bozeman people in the purely
community enterprise. Since the Gin
tensive" campaign closed, other sub
scriptiOns have come in and it is an
ticipated that within a short period
substantial additions to the total will
be made.
A meeting Of the re-organized ex-
ecutive committee has been called for
Saturday evening at the Bozeman
Chamber of Commerce, at which time
further reports will be made.
At Fridays luncheon words of sin
cere praise were said by various
speakers for G.. w. Sweigert and Karl
Keller, representatives of the Hook
enbury System, Inc. who acted as
advisors and counsellors to the ex-
ecutive and sales organizations in
putting over the campaign. Both
gentlemen responded in appreciative
vein, and declared their interest in
4 the project would not cease with their
departure for other fields.
