BOOSTERS LIKED WELCOME
Crawford PupeM Sisnk Highly
of
Mefcpiioii Tendered Tri-State
lloostcr by Alliance
That tlfw Crawford boosters of the
Trl-State fair were warmly welcom
ed and well treated during their stay
in Alliance last week Is evidenced by
the highly complimentary articled
that appeared in both Crawford pa
pers last week. Alliance has a very
friendly feeling for the Crawfordltes,
as well as the citizens of the other
surrounding towns, and tried to
show the boosters a good time. The
following, clipped from the Crawford
Courier, shows the Crawford feeling:
Monday morning seventeen autos
loaded with the biggetst and best
boosters in northwest Nebraska left
Crawford on a booster trip to Alli
ance In the Interest of the Trl-State
Fair to be held .at Crawford Septem
ber 9, 10 and 11. All the arrange
ments for the trip had been complet
ed the night before, when W. B. Mor
rison was elected captain and J. D.
Heywood first lieutenant of the
boosters. They were accompanied
by the Crawford band, which furn
ished music at every town visited and
really made the bi ghlt with the peo
ple. The boosters left Crawford at 11
o'clock and the first stop was made
at Belmont, where the little city was
flooded with advertising literature.
Marsland was reached about 1 o'
clock, where It had been the Inten
tion to take dinner, but the accom
modations were inadequate to han
dle the crowd. From Marsland the
advertising committee phoned to
llemlngford for dinner for the crowd
where the wants of the Inner man
were most satisfactorily supplied.
The bunch reaching Alliance at about
5:15 were met a few miles out by
cars and escorted to the city. After
parading the streets they stopped be
fore the city hall where they accept
ed an invitation to make use of the
splendid plunge recently erected by
the Bremen of the city. This is one
of the finest features of that beauti
ful city and thoroughly appreciated.
After relieving themselves of the
fatigue of travel and partaking of
bounteous repasts at the various hos
telries, they were prepared for the
big doings scheduled for the even
ing. The Crawford band and the
male quartet entertained the people
for a couple of hours, r.ft-;- v.-hi ill
the visitors were given a smoker at
the city hall by the commercial club,
Interesting talks were made by both
Alliance and Crawford speakers, and
de-'much enthusiasm was expressed and
every reason given the boosters that
Alliance would come to our fair with !

We have just received a big con

Year after year at this season, they
make their contracts with the lead

thousands and thousands of newspa

in a position to know the value of

The absolute purity, the ungues

This year Calumet advertising will
