Ely Advertising Does It
r. w. HITCHCOCK
Hibbing Daily Tribune

The City of Ely, right here at home
hasn't been Dragging very much about
it, but it says that in single year it
has cashed in on the tourist business
to the extent of 100000. That's it's
story and it has the figures to prove it..
Half million dollars is nifty bit
of business.
It didn't just happen.
Ely got it by taking thought to the
matter.
For nigh onto twenty years, maybe
more, Ely has been putting it all over
the rest of us in the matter of the tour
ist business. The rest of us are just
beginning to wake up. Ely has been
wide awake to the possibilities of the
tourist trade for many years and it has
profted largely from it's initiative and
reSourcefulnesS.
Ely has done it by putting its best
foot forward. 1t has consistently adj
vertised its resort attractions for the
past two decades or more. That policy
has paid Ely with very pretty penny
More than $4,000 out of town people
have visited the Hibbing Memorial
building this year. They have visited
also, Hibbing's famous high school.
Perhaps many of them came to Hib-
bling out of curiosity to see the most
advertised glass school house.
Not without very decided effect has
been the continuous advertising of Hib-
bling as the Iron Ore Capitol of the
World. Tourists in Minnesota natur-
ally want to see the great iron ore open
pits that rival the Grand Canyon of the

Colorado for color, size and appeal to
the imagination. Naturally they want
to see them where the largest are-in
the Iron Ore Capitol of the World
Certainly it has paid Hibbing in dol
lars and cents to advertise as the Iron
Ore Capital, as the home of the second
largest high school in the world as the
site of one of the most complete and
unusual Memorial buildings in the
country; as the pioneer of the glass
school house; as the town which boasts
the most beautiful tourist camp on the
North American continent.
Hibbing this year is enjoying the larg-
est tourist business it has ever known.
This is an exceptionally good tourist
year for Minnesota. A return of pros
perity, together with more intensive
Minnesota advertising, undoubtedly &C
counts for lush 1887 tourist business.
1t is said, however, that there are
resort towns in Minnesota which are
not entirely satisfied with the tourist
business this year. Their increase has
not been been up to expectations.
Hibbing's exceptionally good year is
due to something besides the general
tourist influx. Hibbing has capitalized
on that influx. 1t has been busy broad
casting, the last two or three years, it's
very special and unusual attractions
and that individual advertising probably
has good deal to do with the fact
that this community's tourist trade has
so largely increased this year while

Last Outdoor Concert
by Ely Municipal Band.

In some unaccountable manner, men
ton of the last Municipal Band con-
cert at Whiteside Park was omitted
from the issue of the Miner last week.
An exceptionally large crowd at
tended the concert at which the Shepel
Sisters Trio and Mrs. Charles Anderson
figured as Soloists.
The Shepel Trio sang Boots and
Saddles" and BOO Hoo" both numbers
being loudly applauded. The offerings
by Mrs Anderson were cts Shame to
Tell Lie" and Speak to Me of Love-"
and her numbers also were received
with applause.
Besides the appearance of these ex-
cellent specialities, the band rendered
an appealing program of numbers under
the direction of Frank v. Di Nino.
This was the final outdoor concert
by the band for the season.

ELY THR0NG
ATTENDS STATE
LEGION Farley
Three Musical Organizations
Join Colorful Parade at
Virginia, Tuesday.
$4,000 WITNESS PARADE
Sleepy Eye Wins Drum Corps
Contest; Chisholm Second,
Ely Places Third.

Had the state convention of the
American Legion and Legion Auxiliary
been held in Ely, it would not have
attracted more attention than did the
gathering in Virginia which opened I'M
officially Saturday night and closed last
evening after a most successful four
days.
Ely was there in full force and the
road between here and our neighboring
city was lined every day with cars
loaded with Ely people going to the
convention. The heavy hygiera from
this city took place Tuesday. Tuesday
was the big day of the convention
parade which saw the streets of Vir-
ginia crowded with interested specta-
tors from all parts of the state.
1t is estimated that outside of the Ely
Drum and Bugle Corps, the Ely NUM-
cipal Band and the Ely Junior Band,
numbering in all nearly two hundred
musicians, there were over 300 towns
people at Virginia to see the mammoth
parade which took nearly three hours to
pass a given point.
With thirty-five or more bands, drum
corps and other musical organizations,
thirty or more floats and marching
units and colorS of the Legion and
Auxiliary posts of the state in the line,
the spectacle presented was one of COM
manding appearance and will long be
remembered by those who witnessed the
long parade.
Under T. L. TrannaS as grand parade
marshal, the line began to move at
promptly 2 o'clock. Not much business
was transacted in the morning the en-
tire attention of the convention at
PENDANTS and the citizens centering on
the afternoon spectacle, voted the
browning feature of the convention in
the entertainment line.
The Ely Drum corps and bands and
the Ely members of the Legion and
Auxiliary had prominent places in the
line and our musical organizations were
given their share, and more, of the
applause so generously bestowed along
the line of march.
The concenSus of opinion was, as we
have always maintained, that Ely's
organizations are second to none and
that our city has more musical talent
than any other of its size in existence.
Not all of the parade talent of Ely was
in the line. Our Teenie Vicente Band
of over hundred could not negotiate
the trip to the convention and the rigors
attendant on the long march, and our
singers and musicians not encompassed
in the three bands would have de-
populated the city on Tuesday had they
gone. AS it was, the city was consider
ably depopulated.

mars Orchestra held the attention until
late in the evening.
The sports program arranged by

Osmund Ellis, Joseph Milkovich, John
Sayovitz and Matt Luhtanen, was be-
gun early in the forenoon when the
Zenith diamond ball team took the
measure of the Pioneer boys to the tune
of II to 4.
In the afternoon the Pioneer played

Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Oscar Widstrand in the st.
Louis County Independent, did
not like what we said a week
ago when we mentioned the
fact that the Republican party
fundamentals are the same now
as they were years ago, and
perintently asks us to Estate
just what the fundamentals of
the Republican party are"
1t is not necessary to go into
details in answering Oscars
custom. He should know. He
always was a Republican until
he blew away from the party
into the Farmer-Labor move
ment along with many others.
Since that time everyone who
has stuck to the principles of
either of the two old estab-
lished parties, is classified as
somewhat of a "goof" in the
eyes of Oscar and the fortunate
enough to be elected to office in
the party whose stronghold is
Minnesota with a membership
of a few in neighboring states.

In all suspected cancers, as we

called "a biopsy". There has been

that this procedure will irritate the

Cancer Of the womb can also be
prevented or recognized in a very
early stage at an annual physical

irnous opinion of 900 obstetricians,
fellows Of the American College Of
Surgeons, that mothers best pro-

injuries or irritations following the

of cancer is irregular bleeding. and
