have ever attended Everybody is
anxious TO find out just where TO go
and what TO do when they strike the
trail Tor genuine and enjoyable va
catlon-one on which the entire family
can get a new lease ON life What are
they most interested in? They seem
TO be anxious to just get out-of-doors,
TO hsh, swim, motor and enjoy the
pure air of Minnesota If there is
any one thing that these 100000 con-
hrmed lovers Of Nature are interested
in more than another it is those de-
hghtful canoe trips through Northern

one thing that the Minnesota Arrow
head territory can supply IN plenty.

the Minnesota streams and lakes this
coming season"

with our merchants. But one of the
most gratifying things is TO watch the
face of the worn and tired out busi-

about the things he can have and the
life he can live if he viii just follow
his urge to Minnesota"

of business in the tourist line but was
called upon, on a number OF occa-
sions, to give an outline Of what that
section had to offer in the way Of

can I make on this big Exposition"

should L Look at the crowd down this
aisle and that aisle. They all have

times we have had to satisfy prospec-

of people that want to rough it in
dress clothes"
