TOURISTS WHO CAMP AT WAUPACA’S FREE CAMP SITE AT SOUTH PARK

            Camping sites for tourists are the means of attracting and holding many travelers.  Every year there is an increase in the number of tourists who make long trips, many of them preferring where conditions are favorable, to camp and prepare one or more meals ad ay on a camp kit, taking the other meals at hotels or restaurants.  Cities large and small throughout the country are now catering to this trade and find it profitable.  The definite results are shown in the actual money left in the city by the tourists, but the indefinite results are fully as important, inasmuch as the name of the city with a good camping spot is spread far and wide by those who have enjoyed its hospitality.

            Campers at Waupaca recently were as follows:  Mr. and Mrs. E.H.R. Burroughs and daughter of Boston, Mass., who were on their way to the Yellowstone Park and Alberta, Can.; Mr. and Mrs. L.F. Mills and Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Blick of Detroit, Mich., who are driving to the Pacific Coast.  A party of four young men from Marion, Ohio on their way to the coast, spent the weekend in Waupaca, and enjoyed the campsite and the Chain o’ Lakes.  Wm. Edw. Dycer, and C. Arthur Henry, Nyack, N.Y.; H.H. Acker and R.S. Rotchford, Spokane, Wash.; Frank Stanley, Armand Wright, H. Willant, Ruby Earl, Evelyn Wilson, New York City; Bee Wilson, Chicago; Mrs. A. Wilson, Chicago; Phillis Earl, Cleveland, Ohio; Jack Sidney, Jamaica, N.Y.; Mrs. H.C. Earl, Harry C. Earl of Cleveland.
