 NEXT TIME 
 
 f ROCHESTER, N. Y., extends to you a 
 cordial invitation to be its guest at the time 
 of your next convention. 
 
 ^ The Rochester Chamber of Commerce 
 presents herewith a glimpse of the city's 
 largest hotels, its Convention Hall — free 
 to visiting organizations— and some of its 
 nooks and corners of beauty and recreation. 
 
 ^ Rochesterians will w^el- 
 come you, and would 
 give you the keys to the 
 city, except for the fact 
 the gates are never closed. 
 
 q Rochester is a city of 
 business, flowers and 
 good fellowship.

 N the first place, when you 
 go to a convention you 
 want to do more than mere- 
 ly *' convene.*' 
 
 ^ That is, you want to go 
 to a city that has ample 
 hotel accommodations at a 
 reasonable price ; excellent railroad 
 facilities, so you may go and come 
 with the maximum of comfort and 
 convenience. 
 
 ^ And, more important than all— you 
 want to go to a city that has play- 
 grounds for the **grown-ups,** — 
 something to do between sessions. 
 ^ Another thing ; most conventions 
 are held in the warmer months — the 
 dull business period. 
 ^ Naturally you, as a delegate, would 
 prefer to go w^here cool breezes 
 abound ; w^here your coat will not 
 have to be discarded during the ses- 
 sions iof your convention ; where the 
 citizens will give you a good hearty 
 handshake, and where, in the leisure 
 hours, you may choose from among 
 half-a-hundred delightful pastimes. 
 ^ All of this is possible in Rochester. 
 
PERHAPS you do not know 
 that the waves of Lake On- 
 tario wash the sands in the 
 front yards of Rochester's subur- 
 ban residences. 
 
 Twenty-five minutes by trolley 
 from the Chamber of Commerce 
 Building to the Lake, where there 
 is the best of bathing and fishing. 
 
 Commodious pleasure boats are 
 there to whisk you across the Lake 
 for half-a-day's sojourn in Canada. 
 
 More trolley lines — 165 miles of 
 them — will carry you to numerous 
 smaller lakes to the southward; to 
 Ontario Beach Park, the Coney 
 Island of Western New York; to a 
 dozen spacious public parks where 
 bands play in the evening and 
 where children romp all day with 
 roses in their cheeks and music 
 in their laughter.

 That means hitshu-ss, and Rochester is a 
 business city, above all else. 
 
 Rochester makes more cameras and photo- 
 graphic supplies than all the rest of the country 
 put together. 
 
 ROCHESTER leads the world 
 in the production of ofTice 
 filing devices, buttons, ther- 
 mometers, canned goods, seeds 
 and nursery stock, wood and paper 
 box niachincrv, optical instruments, 
 enameled tanks, coaches, etc. 
 
 Rochester makes $25,000,000 
 worth of ready-made clothing every 
 year, and $30,000,000 worth of 
 boots and shoes. 
 
 f N other words. Rochester is a 
 I real American municipality, 
 progressive, energetic, anibi- 
 ous, and withal, hospitable and 
 nsellish. 
 Its citizens are glad to welcom.*

 And when you are proud cf 
 omcthing, you arc anxious for 
 trangers to see it, are you not? 
 Ve are, in Rochester. 
 
 And do not forget that Roches- 
 LT is " the flower city." In one of 
 he city parks there are 135 varie- 
 ies of lilacs, and a myriad of other 
 lowers— all the kinds of roses you 
 an think of, and brown-eyed Su- 
 ans, and bUie-hells and — 
 
 But why not come

 Make Rochester the 
 place of your next 
 Shop in our big metropolitan stores, 
 go through some of our great fac- 
 tories, see the 
 the Genesee— and make 
 tion time a vacation time.
