April 24 Park Day
Tuesday, April 24th, to be Pro
claimed ParK Day by Mayor
City Park Commission Has
Organized, Ready for
Beautifying Cam
paign.
Tuesday, April 24th, will be park
day in Pullman, when all our people
are going to turn out and with hoe,
rake, spade, or other instrument of
torture, advance Pullman several de
grees toward becoming the city beau
tiful.
The recently appointed park com
mission met and organized this week,
the two lady members drawing the
positions of trust and emolument,
Mrs. Barry being chosen to preside
over the deliberations of the body,
while Mrs. Harvey will act as secre
tary.
At the request of the commission,
Mayor Staley will issue a proclama
tion naming Tuesday, April 24th, as
park day, when all will lend their
efforts toward the beautifying of
Pullman's park property. The com
mission proposes to make the occasion
a gala day, and the demonstrations
will be in the nature of a picnic, the
citizens being expected to appear on
the scene at about eight o'clock in
the morning with implements of war-
Are and well filled lunch baskets. Hot
coffee will be provided on the grounds.
The committee will direct the work
within the grounds, the first efforts
probably being toward the cleaning
out of underbrush, and trimming up
the trees.
No town in the Northwest is so for
tunate as Pullman in regard to park
property. In addition to Reaney's
park, one of the most beautiful spots
imaginable, with its elms and poplars,
and its artesian well, there is the
larger park, containing some fifteen
acres, purchased by popular subscrip
tion and deeded to the city. It is on
this last named property that the main
efforts of park day will be directed.
Various plans for the development of
this park are under consideration.
One that has met with decided favor
has been to lay out a [drive way or
boulevard, making a handsome drive
way around the property. A baseball
diamond will also be one of the fea
tures. Stock will hereafter be kept
from the property and the trees will
be protected, and if everyone does his
duty, Pullman's city parks will soon
be among its chief attractions.

TO THE PUBLIC.
We wish to thank our many friends
and customers for their loyal support
and attendance at our Spring Opening
and for helping us to make it the
greatest event in the history of our es
tablishment.
It was certainly a success and the
crowd that thronged the aisles was
much larger than we could properly
take care of and if any one was
slighted or did not receive the proper
attention, we crave their pardon and
trust they will realize the crowded
condition of our store. It is at all
times our aim to extend to all a cor
dial welcome and in every way pos
sible serve them to their best inter
ests.
We wish especially to thank the
ladies of the several churches for their
kind assistance and we trust we may
be able to reciprocate the kindness by
a liberal sum resulting from our spe
cial sale, offering 5 per cent, of our j
cash sales to the several churches for
the balance of the month.
Assuring you at all times a hearty |
welcome and courteous treatment, we
are, Yours Very Truly,
The Emerson Co.
Formerly E. S. Burgan and Son.
