Mann of Devils Lake Ad- dresses Retai] Merchants Association Here (convention Busy Three Days, with Busi- ness Program, Is Provid- ed For Visitors OPEN A program of increased coopera- tion between retail business men and the farmer and united effort in fur- thering the interests‘of the siate, was urged upon retail merchants here at the opening session of the North Dakota Retail Merchants As- sociation today, by Fred P."Mann of Devils Lake, president of the organ- ization. “Better business methods, both by! the merchants and farmers of North Dakota, is the only way to bring ity to North Dakota ggein,” . Mann, delivering the presi- dent’s messag: We ave made some little progress the past few years but not anywhere near as’ much as we should have made. I think the lack of cooperation of all the busi- ness interests of the state togecher with the farmer is responsible for most of our trouble. The lack of good sound leadership, not only in business, but in politics is the grave menace to the return of prosperity in our state at the present time. “What need more than any- thing else is big honest, hard work- ing sound thinking business men and farmers at the head of our organiz: tions, as well us the state, county and city government. Until such time as the representative business men, and farmers of the state of North Dakota, will give their time and money to put on a real constructive business Program in North Dakota, we will not prosper.” Urges Organization Mr. Mann urged that retail mer- chants organize in their own towns to work in conjunction with farming interests, declaring the diversified farming movement can be put over faster if the business people of the towns” get into the harness... He in- dorsed the Greater North Dakota As- sociation. An optimistic was taken by crop prospects the entire state, activi and fall.
