Immigration Association Incorporation Address From Shreveport
The February 8 1897 convention in Shreveport Louisiana formed an Immigration Association to promote state wide immigration. Officials promise a public spirited enterprise with no personal interests, aiming to attract homes, land buyers, business and capital while stressing cordial welcome, fair dealings, and statewide cooperation. The message urges landowners, merchants, and citizens to support popular growth, manufacturing, and education through increased population and investment.
