Monday and Wednesdays yr.it suffer
losses through shrinkage due to delay
that would not oeeur if the shipment-
were more eqtiully distributed through

On account of congestion mid the m

These losses would be eliminated if

Voti can therefore readily see that tin
buyers have good reason to favor the
contemplated changes, and hey now
pledge themselves to support the fir

Your commission firm, too. are the
losers under present conditions, because
it is necessary for them to maintain a

These losses would be minimized, and

THE LAND SHOW.
Of nil 'he manifestations of the Old
cago Tribune's enterprise, the Land
Show i- probably the most significant,
as well as the most fur reaching, iu it-
effects.
It Is difficult to conceive of a prob
lem mote vital to the national welfare
linn the bringing of the "landless tnanj
to the inanle-s land." That, in
phrase, i the ideal which brought H17
l.aitd Show into, existence. The neeil
for such an institution hud been strong
ly evidenced by the flood of corre
pondence received a result of the
"Forward to the Land" campaign,
which had been actively waged for a
number of years.
Accordingly, the l.nml Show wa
fonnded iu UhV.l. Not 11 dcllar of out
side capital or any otiter aid of au.v
nattite was a-ked for r accepted. Then
wa- no hope or thought of financial pro
fit. On the contrary, it was thorough
ly understood tha the actual r.poratinv j
expense- would equal or exceed the ino:
saiiglnue estimate- of the receipts, botl
from exhibitor- and ndmlion fee-, the
only pnih!f -miree of revenue.
It i. difficult tn convey clear con
eoptinn f the iiiagtiitmle of the ask.
An entire year ' preliminary labor of
the harde-t kind was repiWd. A staff
of executives had to be specially train
ed for the work iu hand. A force ol
traveling representative- was maintain

of community, -tnte ami tcucrai an

thoi-e land cotupanies of unimpeacha
ble standing were allowed to exhibit,
and these were urged to make the char
acter of their di-play uch as to main
tain the stainlatd r.f n Land Show rather
han a laud market.
Several weeks before the date -c'
for the opening, a heavy advertising,
campaign was commenced, explaining
fully the ideals, the scope, the tnagni
'tide, and the manifold attractions
the Land Show. In addition, the new

with a freedom which wa- fully win

history as one of the most successful
of all the uri-at expositions held in
America. At tha time feeling that i-s

fulfilled. The Chicago 1 rlbune telt .jus

neither the Uhieago I nimne not any
of its employe held a single -hare ot
stock or any interest of any nature.
After the 1011 show, however, the Chi
1 cage Tribune decided to direct the Land
Show again, In order tlmt the original
ideals upon which It was foumleil might
be nialntnine.l ami perpetuateil.

The UU'J Land Show took on the
