While nre had already settled upon up-on Ogden, -till 1 knew very little of the city. Had 1 started put to explore the town I could have d6n so Indifferently Indifferent-ly well. But this guided tour has made me feel positive that we have made the right selection In coming to Ogden "Said the temporary visitor: 'My home la in Sap Francisco I havo stopped over to sec my son, who has made his home here. When we learned learn-ed that it was possible to take this City seeing trip. I hardly hoped that 1 might be fortunate enough to go along My son round a seat for me. although ho could not find one for himself. I am so glad that my son has located here it seems the nicest sort of place to live and growing so rapidly. I may come here to locate myself.' "The Ogden resident said "We haven't a car, so 1 verj seldom get into any other parts of the city than , the business iii3tricr. ami opr own 'neighborhood. I have heard of these things that we have seen today but they have always seemed a long way off as If they might be In som other oth-er town. This Is the first time I have eer ridden over the Ogden canyon paving, nnd its S real treat to me. I am going to send the little pamphlet about the trip to friends in the east.1 BETTER M A T YEAR "These are typical expressions. Aside from the good we have done to Ogden. It was a rent pleasure to give this pleasure to our guests When tye do It again. I suggest that we do it on s tli r day than Sunday, that we aim to take 600 cars -we can do It that we start at 11 o'clock in the morning that a buffet luncheon be served ot some point on bb trip, a luncheon of ug.lt. n products. "On behalf oj the committee I want to thank all of tnose public spirited fellows who poiltriDUti d their time and the use of their cars. " Oo |
