' THE BOOSTERS A hundred business men, full grown in mind and body, the heads of the largest wholesale and jobbing houses of Indianapolis, are making a two days’ trip over Indiana. Tuesday they followed the line of the Indiana Union Traction company to Fort Wayne and today they are traveling In a special train down the G. R. &> I. to ] Richmond. Everywhere they are being received cordially, as they should be. Many of them represented I houses from which our merchants have bought goods for many years and . today’s trip gave them the opportunity of meeting each other. These ! trips are made by the Indianapolis 1 1 Trade association solely for the pur- i pole of becoming acquainted with i their customers and to create the spirit of the words which form their | j slogan—“ Trade in Indiana:" It is a ( leserving and progressive movement,- 1 ] denoting hustle, appreciation of the 1 business of the past and a desire for more in the future. We all like to , ( trade where we are shown a welcome \ , and this trip was for that purpose— i the old idea —it pays to advertise. j 1 For years these men have been asking | their customers to visit them at Indi-I anapolis, but many have not respond-11 ed, and so they came to us. It's aif good idea and we hope they “come j. 1 back” in the future. > 4' The sugar beet mep are here today, investigating further the merits Os I this city for the location of a large j factory. While this has been going on for some two months it should be ; remembered that there are many things to be considered when threequarters of a million dollars are to ’be ‘ invested. The men have compliment- . ed the city and county many tjjjyes i and our “boosters" believe the verdict will be favorable when reVirtted. ■" — The boosters have come and gonc, leaving in their trail many handawe* shakes, smiles, and happy remembrances. They were a lot of splendid men, who have helped to make Indianapolis, our capital, the best itilhnd city in America. We were sure Elad I to meet them and we know that these ’ tripe not only help their citjyvjbut | those they visit as well. Come attain, boys. »iw; : - doec Stieet Commissioner Jim Smith and . his assistant, Mr. Hitchcock, arejty be : complimented on their enterprise. 1 During the night they swept&r the | streets, over which the line of' tfihreli ' for the Indianapolis boosters, HdSfieen , planned. It showed the right o( SPirtt I and was appreciated by the business men. Senator Bristow of Kansas Was de- ; dared war dn President Taft, having announced that while he has joined I in the welcome of the president to his | state, that when the time comes he j will be as progressive as heretofore, , i and will fight just as hard in the fu- I j ture as in the past NOAH FRAUHIGER • Has the Following Sales So Far j Scheduled.
